Heat needs more uses ever since the Battle Sprite update gave us the forge.
Before that, we could heat up our gear until it reached 10th level, so there was an incentive to getting as much heat as possible.
But after that, we need fire crystals to level up our weapons. The scarceness of fire crystals makes it hard to level up gear when it has enough heat, and when it's time for the weapon to level up, any excess heat is wasted, so heat quickly became useless.
This was the only way for Three Rings to balance out the free elevators they gave us, and I respect that, but now heat needs more uses, so we need to talk about different uses of heat that can be implemented into the game.
Here are some of my ideas:
-Excess heat be stored so that when it levels up, any heat that was in the weapon after it needed to level up would either:
A)be added to the it
OR
B)count towards a higher chance of bonuses, such as more weapon heat and forge prize box.
-Heat would fill a certain meter, depending on the floor(or maybe star level of armor), and when a meter fills up, the player would get fire crystals, the star level depending on which meter was filled up.
What are your ideas?
I wrote something for this thread, but then the website logged me off and it was lost forever. At least now I don't have to be told why I'm wrong again.
