Forest Guardian's ring(Question to developers)

[volcodav4]

Hello.Thank you for such a wonderful game and for constantly improving it.Created a topic,because I do not know what to carry my message. To the proposals or questions of the patch..I would like to raise a question about the ring,which becomes irrelevant after the events cards. Maybe you can add some simple property to it? Or return the Deadly forest card with some kind of reward?Thank you for attention and sorry for my language.Forest Guardian's ring

Draw 3 Life Gain cards after every Combat in a forest and choose one to keep.

Yeah, I think that's good enough for a platinum card, especially considering rings are extra useful on Endless compared to other items.

Garamoth,What do you mean? I have this ring does not give no bonuses.Hence the question..

He proposed the effect that the ring could have.

ZeppMan217,I understand, Thank you.Thought it about the current effect of the ring and was surprised that I have none.

The guy who originally has the ring was making a living cutting trees there, so maybe have a permanent Deadly Forest card unlock with the ring card that gives you life pain cards if you lack the ring and food/gold gain cards if you have it. It'd be like the other current brimstone encounters (Wine of the Gods and Confused Thief) in being terrible if you're unlucky and wonderful if you're lucky.

Deadly Forest could start popping up in Endless without the player choosing it, maybe with a small chance to take away the ring at very high difficulty.

[Garamoth]

It would make a lot of sense for it to be useful on the Deadly Forest and bring that card back permanently, but the reward better be real good for it to be worth a platinum slot.

Ehh, how about "Draw two Briarfolk ally cards in every Combat in a Forest".

Ok, NPC allies are pretty useless, but it'd be neat since there's no way to have Briarfolk on your side right now.

[Ratt]

I'd still go for genuinely good and worth having over neat because neat doesn't make it feel any better to slot it over Lion Heart or draw it in endless over even something with a vendor value.

I think having some variability in the quality of items is a good thing, but having no benefit is probably too far. So I agree that a small to medium bonus would make sense.

It definitely seems this should be connected to the Briarfolk somehow. When that mod competition was running my barely-formed plan was to build some adventure around that, but I never got around to actually doing anything about it. Maybe it could be traded in on some future Briarfolk encounter to unlock a new adventure or quest chain or something? In a similar way to Potion of Youth / Old Maiden

Some interesting ideas in this thread! Certainly for the sake of Endless Mode it makes sense to make that ring a little more useful outside of that single instance. This is on the design team's radar.

Personally though, I wish it didn't restrict its effects to Forrest combat. It's the same as with Koschei daggers - you can neither predict nor influence when the night comes, so the effect is highly unreliable.
