Now, you might be thinking "Oh boy, another person who wants tier 4 and 6 Star Gear." and if you're thinking that then you're wrong. What I want in this game is exactly what the title says, more variety. More levels to play, more monsters to fight, maybe even a whole new family of monsters.
Hexyle made a thread about this sort of thing a while back, also suggesting more levels and monsters. And I want to push that suggestion a little farther.

what I want most out of anything from this game is more levels. Specifically missions. Surface missions to be exact. You see, the thing that bugs me about this game is that almost EVERYTHING happens in the clockworks, why can't we have special surface missions and new monsters to give this game more variety?

I want other opinions on this.

We do have variety. We have a variety of reskins. What you are REALLY asking for is a variety of varieties.

gods ain't gonna help you, son.

because game lore, monsters at the surface are the weakest (the ones you fight before the rescue camp are the equivalent of d1). the only exeption till now is grinchlin assault, and I'm still unsure it's actually on a mountain on the surface.

anyway, I think that what we need right now are puzzles and multiple pathways. puzzles because I freaking love those sleep levels that leaked out, and multiple pathways because they make you say "man, maybe the other was better" which is an incentive to re-play and increases the replayability value. something that this game, advertized as "always changing", should really have.

What this game really needs

What this game really needs is a randomly generated stratum that gives the same or better pay out in terms of crowns compared to FSC. New gear to work towards as well. Ok fair enough we are getting that in the Gunner Update, but I hope it doesn't stop there.

@ Sleepy-Hollows; please explain what you said further, unless you are being sarcastic.

To me reskins are pointless. Why should I waste crowns/energy and time getting the exact same item with the only difference being physical appearance?

Isn't this exactly what the developers are doing?

Making more content in general as fast as they can which isn't fast at all?

Whimsicality

Giving us reskins may be the equivalent of dangling keys in front of an infant, but you know what? Guilty as charged, I'm crazy enough to be one of the people who like them.

Plus, keeping in mind that the Gunner Update isn't the only thing to look forward to, I'm pretty hyped. Reworked Rank Missions, a revamped Arcade with a sense of customization, and plenty of shiny new toys. Let them take as long as they need.

@Arcknight: I meant we have a variety of costumes. Therefor, we have some variety... just not a variety of varieties. In other words, we don't have a variety in other areas other than costumes. And no, I'm not really being sarcastic. More if anything, I'm trying to be vague. Although I thought I was rather clear.

@ Sleepy-Hollows

We have a variety of reskins could mean anything to he fair.

Sorry this wasn't clear enough seeing as the op has mentioned new missions, new gear and new monsters. But thanks for taking the time to make your point clearer.

As I have said before, there are many different gameplay styles that you can try, however no one uses the equipment that offers these unique mechanics because they are deemed less powerful than the BrandishBlitz spam that this game has become.

Grab yourself a catalyzer, pepperbox, troika and shard bomb. You now have four completely different gameplay styles that you have never used before, and therefore every monster is a new challenge to beat because you've not had to do anything but spam your brandish at them before.

Watch some Blueflood vids. Honestly I didn't realise how awesome pepperbox was until I saw him use it.

@ Blazz

I'm bad with titles. What do you want from me, do you want me to apologize for everyone on the entire forum?
