I mean if the new quest takes away your stuff temporarily for a chance of getting imp rewards, it will be like there’s a slay the spire event where you’ll temporarily lose your cards and items, and I feel this doesn’t feel right in a roguelike as it nullifies my previous decisions and progression? The imp idea feels unenjoyable and also a risky gamble on a high floor 17, I wish skipping the imp quest will not make his shop disappear on floor 20 😅 though perhaps the vault can be fun if it’s something like ExperiencedPD, adding wacky items and becoming overpowered farming upgrades in the vault

Thank you for the updates 😍 I am very eager to see the planned demon halls quest, maybe the update can also have yog dzewa buff as he is very weak compared to the scorpions and eyeballs of previous floors?

But hmm I don’t look forward for the planned changes on city imp quest though, I think ‘progression’ makes roguelikes fun, and the planned imp quest goes against this by forcing a new roguelike game within a roguelike game. It depreciates my build if I cannot use it, and it doesn’t work with challenges too? If I can’t use my inventory and build, I want to just skip his new quest, but then I cannot access his shop on floor 20. I wish imp quest can have better, more epic ideas like caves quest 😁

I want yog dzewa buff, wasn’t there that new terrifying sprite that never got released? If only the boss fight is as terrifying as that sprite 🥲 halls quest boss will be cool as well to test endgame characters

Mass effect too. Kinda scary with all the collectors, man eating bugs 🥲

this is the worst, next they’re gonna put ads on cars

I see the challenge descriptions after getting the amulet, but it’s demotivating to try and I quit after… IMO they’re not the fun kind of difficult and poorly made, with some exceptions like badder bosses

Yup it gets stale after the first win and I dont know what to do after. Wish there’s more boss and floors unlocked after getting the amulet so I can keep playing, just like other roguelikes

Emmm but it looks like the above idea already satisfies most of your worries 🤨 It’s locked behind a completion of the game to not overwhelm newbies. Check. And unlike those painful challenges it doesn’t brutally change the game if it’s an optional lategame fight

I dunno, I don’t have the motivation to replay SPD when there’s no hard post-game goal to conquer. I play SPD, get the amulet… and it’s done. New trinkets and classes don’t motivate me to replay I think? No one complained when StS or deadcells added a new postgame boss, instead they get praise and high replayability. It’s the ultimate goal that will make the ‘item updates’ worth playing and more new players joined

IIRC the only time I revisit SPD is when they added that crystal cave boss. Now that is a tangible goal and I’ll always vote for a boss update, I’m willing to put money if the boss development needs art and stuff

Aww cute, it’s the goodest boi from the goodest game

yea this quest was a simple kill quest, but forcing it to a quest without your gear depreciates my progression 😐 I want it to stay as a kill quest to get the ring easily and your idea accounts for that. Arena and boss is a cool idea but I don’t want the battleground to be claustrophobic please, I hate the dwarf king
