Hello guys, hope you are well!

I’ve been thinking about a way to make the game feel more dynamic.

Right now everyone runs Firestorm Citadel and for good reasons. We’re comfortable there, we know every trap, we’ve optimized the route, and honestly it’s still fun (at least for me). But its existence makes the rest of the content feel less important, except for collectors who want every weapon. There also isn’t much environmental storytelling or variation left to explore.

So I thought about a change that could make us enjoy the game more while keeping the same dungeon structure. We already know the elevator switches direction every 60 seconds or so. What if Firestorm Citadel changed element every week?
For example: one week Dark + Fire, the next week Piercing + Poison, etc. The traps, rooms, crowns, and enemies stay the same, only their damage types change.

I imagine this would be a lot of work for the developers, but it would let us keep playing the best dungeon in the game while encouraging players to use a wider variety of weapons and builds.

Perhaps weekly might be a bit too frequent; maybe a monthly rotation could work better?

Let me know what you think!

Sick idea

make it arcade only, encouraging people to go from d18-d29 (with vana being 24-28), so people can run the 9-3 they're familiar with while also adding "new" content that switches up the playstyle, meaning everything gets love. cool idea

Firestorm Citadel and for

Firestorm Citadel and for good reasons. We’re comfortable there, we know every trap, we’ve optimized the route, and honestly it’s still fun (at least for me).
Complacency, that's complacency.

Also, what now? Almire didn't fall under a firestorm of cursed death?, was under a Thorny Fart? a shocking lick? what Do You replace the fallen Almirian citicens (zombies)with, slimes? Almire was a Gremlin city all this time? a Greaver nest... it was allways a Greaver and Gorgo nest...

I understand You point, but You are running FSC out of numbing comfort and complacency, or You need crowns to buy things from overpriced loot boxes... I'm not judging, I'm going to ask what other mission You do Just to play with friends? Do You fear that they laugh if You get hitted by a rocket in the Ironclaw Munitions Factory? have You tried the Shadow Lairs? the game has a lot, and is old so need a lot aswell. But perhaps You do FSC runs beause You got told "Do this and memorize it, otherwise You can't be cool like Us..." and you took that to heart.

We could use more "Danger Missions" and more prestige missions (and re-evaluate those ranks, are heinous) that could be interesting and add what You want to the game without a re-colored lootbox but Firestorm Citadel edition. Now the same thing but different colors... so it looks different. although it has been always the same.
