Super Useful Challenge Changes (succ)

Ok not really changes but small things that are pretty cool maybe.


1. Dying in hardcore

When you die with a hardcore character, the 'profile' looks exactly the same.

NOT DEAD


DEAD


Let's say, you're playing HIC, you manage to get to level 99 and die to Toydamor. You can either keep using that char in shame while you're telling everyone you see 'i died at 99 bruh', or you delete it and start all over again.
To honor every soldier who attempted the hardcore life, but failed their quest sadly, how about adding a sort of tombstone on their profile, as a reminder.

Something like this:

Perhaps even add what killed you as a reminder who is a real threat......

I don't know how hard that would be to code in, but it can't be that hard right haha.

2. Disable Ironman after completing the Challenge

Yes, Ironmans are supposed to be cut out of the trading world. But what do you do when you complete every quest, raid every dungeon and collected 7 mythics on the way? You have a completed character, yet all those hard earned mythics and items will stay on that person forever, never being able to leave it even after you completed the actual challenge.
When i first thought about this, i thought adding a command which will disable Ironman for that char forever and leaves a tombstone like in the hardcore example. That would kill the meaning of the challenge of course, but disabling it once you're actually done seems like a reasonable decision.

Yeah there would be problems, like what happens when Dern comes out or the level cap is now around 120. This idea could use some tuning, but it seems like a fair enough reward.

Spoiler: new challenger approaching

Hey can you add a challenge where you're blind the entire time? I thought about that randomly and there are minigames and cutscenes that need good eyes but that would be a pretty big brain challenge you know what i mean.

3. Refined stuff rarity

I failed to get tier 3's

This is just stuff i farmed for scribbing. This alone can take up to 6 slots.
There are multiple problems with this:
1. This takes up more space than it should
2. You need at least 2 of high quality refines to craft something with it
>yes, you could throw them away but higher quality gives you more experience so its either more time or more space
3. I don't even want them most of the times wtf

It makes HIC really annoying and dying at a high level feels like dying in real life.

A simple way to fix this is by adding a choice for what you want to craft. You can just choose which rarity you want and you either go all in or safe with your resources.
For example: Crafting 1 Star paper with a 90% success or craft 3 Star paper with a 5% success rate. It would get rid of problem 1 and 3, but might buff point 2 a bit to much. But let's be real, there is so much grind later on this would be a nice change.

+It's still luck based so.

There are a lot problems with gathering in general of course, Salted said so himself during the Stream. So feedback and suggestions are the best way to support the CT fixing major issues with it.


That's about it, I hope you didn't catch to much depression.

Thanks for listening to my Ted Talk.

 

Disagree with the second one. Don't like ironman, don't play it. Simples. Also, who has 7 mythics with on character I mean jeez XD

 

That's not a good argument though. Completing the HIC challenge is a pretty big achievement but when you finish the challenge you don't really get any type of reward. Allowing you to disable ironman when you complete the challenge is a good reward in my opinion, cause you will finally be able to do something with your HIC that benefits your other classses as well. Maybe you could even get the choice to turn it into a normal class so that once you eventually die at some point you won't be eternally angry? idk but it should be a choice.

 

Oh yeah, after you completed the challenge maybe

 

*Agreement noises*

 

For the ironman challenge (and maybe the others too) perhaps there could be an option to withdraw from them, which would remove the challenge tags from the chat and remove the restrictions of the challenge. If all three challenges were withdrawn from, then that character / class would be converted to a regular class.

 

ok lets bump this

 

hi i feel like the first change in this thread is worth bumping

rest are eh imo but
