Infinite Tower is way to easy - no challenge

[Goser]

The Infinite Tower isn´t working this way i think.
I quit playing the tower mode at level 28 or so,because there ws no more challenge.
All enemies died instantly after pointing my crosshair on them.
It was fun to play for a while but no challenge at all. And also i was almost invulnerable because of the stacked items i had.

It was hilarious, a room took only seconds to clear, immediately ever enemy died after ponting my crosshair on them fire.
I would love to show you a video but i only can get screenshots atm.

I really think it need's to be tweaked.

That's right.

2 reasons that is so.

Firstly, it starts at probably slightly above pyramid 3 scaling, which is good because that's the hardest this game has. The problem is twofold: The floors are each floor 5 or 6 type, meaning that they are really short.

Second, while it starts at like +230% enemy damage it goes up like +5% per floor all the while you keep getting stronger due to more scrolls. I bet floor 28 is like +300% damage, which would make the enemies hit for maybe 20-25% more damage than normal Pyramid 3 foes, all the while you have a dozen or two strong scrolls and maybe a curse or two.

Also, fun fact: I played for the day or so that this game was bugged and found out that if you have 100% or more DEF, attacks only deal 1 damage to you.

We're going to be tweaking the difficulty of the Infinite Tower in the upcoming days. We also think it's really easy right now but we're planning on changing that :)

I have one more question: Scrolls that you buy at the merchant outside don't apply to the infinite tower. Is such a bug or a feature?

It's intended.

hey, i played a round after patch 1.31, but i can't feel any difference. :/ I reached floor 13, without any problems, but here i had to stop playing and kill myself, because i had something else to do ;)
It's still a problem that after some floors you get overpowered.
Almost any enemie died after one or two shots, and they didn't make real damage to me.

It's fun for sure :) but it's not a real challenge, what it think it should be.

I played 12 floors and I agree, but the dev did increase the scaling somewhat though. I see the problem as something on the lines that if +235% is base, adding +100% is like making all the enemies deal like 20-30 more damage a hit. Yeah, I had some ttrouble, but only because I didn't explore each of the levels and went up the stairs the momentI saw them like any idiot would.

Nice way to earn gold for the normal runs I will say, but I see the infinite tower as something to do after I've maxed my tree and beaten the game.

Hey guys,

Thanks for the comments! We've tweaked a bit more the difficulty scaling/ramping of the Infinite Tower. Can you guys check out the latest udpate?

I have not found it to be as easy as these other players, but that is likly due to my tree only having the base stats upgraded to about half of their max or lower, for example my health is only at lvl 25 because that is where I was at when I beat the third pyramid

I see, but I tried it for a little and it's certainly harder now.

If you can handle it, infinite pyramid is a method to getting gold to max out the tree. I just farmed 1st pyramid for 50+ hrs to max out mine though.

Where can I access the pyramid? Am I dumb?

And another thing guys:
Do you also have the bug that the "replace your current weapons with random ones" scroll always gives you the same new weapons (Ankh and 2 others I can't remember). This scroll is basically a run ender...

It's a staircase going downards closer to the final pyramid. Also, you need to beat the game once first.

THATS a run ender? Heh heh, you do know that What are you selling?(takes a weapon away forever at random) and Level 5 Vegan(Unlimited Ammo until a new weapon drops but takes all other weapons away forever) are much worse than Sorry not Sorry, right? Oh yeah, and the No Thanks scroll is the only way to stop those, if you have it.

I had the game crash while transistioning through the levels, so that's an added difficulty for sure! (How do I send the crash report)

Something could be interesting about that:

Infinite tower is a special mode out side of the basics game rules "not 100% but to be vulgar"

As not collapse to the original features rules basics game mode, get 3 level difficulty in this mode could be interesting.

-Easy.
-Normal.
-Hard.



And for harcore lover of the game.

A T2 skill tree could be welcome :D
Im not conscerned by this request, but maybe one day, i will be fully upgraded, and i will be happy to have gold to spend again in a different skill tree offering different effect !

Need loot gold gold and gold :o)
