Suggestion - Need Trophies.

[sonicjyl]

I'm enjoying DD beta so much.
However, there is something missing, compared with the alpha.
It's the trophies.

In alpha, the effort for winning dungeons with different classes has paid.
I had more gold, more chests, better items, hidden characters..
In beta, there are way more dungeons, and it's really good.
But no trophies winning them, except the quest worth 250 gold, and it is totally useless when you leveled up every building.

I wrote the topic (Monk - Glowing Garden Strategy too strong) .
Once i found this special, strong combination and beat all dungeons with it, there's just no more contents to play.
But in alpha, it was fun to challenge all dungeons with different characters developing my own, unique strategy.
Beating the factory's super meat man with wizard.. wow. I really liked that challenge.
Why did you get rid of all this fun ?
Of course I can challenge each dungeon by myself, but there's no as strong motivation as alpha gave me.
Even more, there is no record that I had beaten the level with certain character.

Plus, every time I beat the level I get badges, and I hope there's some usage of them in the original game .
At least for Achievements.

I think it really needs to be made more clear that the game isn't finished yet.

What a useless comment. We not supposed to discuss anything because the game is in beta? Or what else was your point?

Ideas for trophies and badges might be helpful

We're definitely planning to add all sorts of achievements and progression-style unlocking quests, we just don't want to make the game too grindy.

The game is about beating dungeons, so beating dungeons does not necessarily count as grinding. The beta already has a lot more dungeons than the freeware, so making people beat all the dungeons with all the classes would be too much of course. Encouraging redoing a dungeon with different classes seems hard though. Once you have upgraded everything kingdom gold is pretty easy to get, so it's not really a relevant reward.

Maybe a progression like in the freeware could work, except it wouldn't involve specific challenges, but specific difficulty levels. You could get +1 or +2 average gold in the dungeon for every class that beat any hard level for example. One glyph detected for every 3 classes that beat any vicious dungeon. Gold you can take into the dungeon with you increased by 1 for every class that beat any normal dungeon. Stuff like that.

Edit: I just noticed revealing glyphs overlaps with the wizard ability. Not sure what a good bonus for beating vicious dungeons would be.

See, if someone complains that they ran out of content to do in the game (e.g "I don't have anything to do with my money"), then it's legitimate to reply that yes, content is still being worked on.

And any comment must be made with the knowledge that future content is being added. Right now Gods are very reliable and game-breaking, but once ALL the deities, all the items and etc have made it in, can you GURANTEE that you will get your perfect combo of gods and items?

You can certainly comment on what you think are game balance issues etc but it really does need to be tempered with some future sight.
