But then you'd have to complete every quest just to get the Dragon Shield. That's devastating. Now how am I supposed to play a good paladin?
The thing is, no matter how promising the unlock, you will always need a VERY specific strategy to beat vicious. Unless every item appeals to every type of character and is always useful, there will always be reasons to not take certain items. Of course if vicious was reasonable, then I would be fine with unlocking items.
I personally think a vicious nerf should be incoming. Instead of them buffing the dungeons with more magic res. I mean, hard dungeons are soooooo much easier than they used to be. (Anyone remember the old deep swamp? How about 900 hp evolvia with the same 97 damage output.) Now the leap between them is so incredibly huge, that it requires an obscene amount of scumming. People don't like to scum, so they just create profiles that require less scumming. Gating vicious to everything done requirements would just serve to frustrate as you randomize useless gods and items for your specific strategy. As you waste time and money.
We made an expansion and it is awesome. Really, you should check it out, especially if you're looking for some extra challenge.
