Live After Death...

[Mariner-1212]

This post is going to serve as a running tally/list of ideas/wants from this community. It doesn't mean we're getting what we wish for, but it sure won't hurt.


We need more feedback. Please go to the Dead Forum Dead Game post and contribute your opinions. I will tally up that feedback as we get it.


General:
- Devs, please communicate any details you can to the masses regarding what this year has in store (State of the union 2018)
- Bring back the most epic event you ever ran, the Immortal Soul event (slauki, mariner, and probably everyone else who experienced it)
- Seems that server errors are a BIG priority issue for many. That's probably priority 1 right now. Toons not performing exactly as expected is annoying, but that's not preventing gameplay like server errors.
- make all 5* worthy (give PDK an aoe attack for example and he will be great) it sucks to get an uber rare toon like mystic eddie just to find out that he is crap (slauki)


Gameplay Landscape:
- New worlds every 3 to 6 months (Yup)
--- Small world additions that have specific purpose, such as a POM level that you grind for POM Soul Fragments (slauki)
--- Launch some levels "incomplete" - where you release a new stage for them each week (slauki)
- All LOL Dungeons open all the time (Yup)
- SOT limit increased to 100 or even 120. If I had to pay $10 or $20 for that option I would. (Zerynx)


Daily Rewards / level rewards:
- Get rid of the 1000 coin reward in LOL (slauki, Carlos)
- Change the undead soldier reward on day 6 to be a sacrificial heart or something (slauki)
--- First vote goes to sacrificial heart, but if not, maybe make it vary toons from week to week? (mariner)
--- since there are 6 precious soul characters, we spread them throughout the month, (1* Gold Idol on the 5th, 1* Heart on the 10th, 3* Gold Idol on the 15th and so on) (Amarthir)


Troopers:
- Let us play 2 or more troopers at once (slauki), possibly an Instant play option where you clear a level you've already beat with the same team (Rain88)
(Full breakdown HERE)
- Addition of a "Live" mode where several troopers team up to make a super team and attack a challenge. (Amarthir) (see more details below)


Souls:
- Consider taking another look at the soul classification and ability to pull tiered toons (Patrice)
(Join this discussion HERE)
- Ability to prevent dupes with very specific souls - (discussion to come)


Leaderboard:
- A Leaderboard for the best times in PVP and PVE (slauki)
--- Slauki spoke briefly to the point of rewards each week, ongoing discussion below/will update with outcome
- "Endless levels" and you compete for the highest level achieved (Carlos)
- Compete to see who clears the most levels in X-time (Carlos)


PVP:

"WANTS" - changes to the current PVP landscape...

- Better rewards (Slauki)
- Rankings in the arena adjusted (narrow the gap from duellist to warlord 3 with more tiers) (Drfeelgood232)
- Better rewards - a Mythical soul a 5 stars of your choice, exclusive talismans, something that can’t be gain by just farming (Kamuz24z)
- maybe create toons that can be achieve only when you win Eternal or top 5 (Kamuz)
--- give those toons unique abilities (no mediocre toons) everyone will fight to get this toons (Kamuz)
- Top tier rewards change from week to week (Ezz)
- a different point system so the players who can’t play on Saturday can fight for Eternal (Kamuz)
- hide attack team and talismans from players (Kamuz)
- PVP Player Badges
--- give the Eternal of the week something different like a golden symbol so when you face him/her in the arena you know he/she is the king of last week (Kamuz)
--- Gold/silver/bronze medals in the nickname or the avatar for those who have been eternal/rank2/rank3 (surfingwithdje)
- Ties need to be accounted for in rewards. (i.e. Rank 13 tied with Rank 10, but rewards are distributed alphabetically so 11-13 miss out. Should all be rank 10, get rewards, and then the next point person should start at 14). (Peppoah)
- Fix leader recognition (at the moment, the best reward is community recognition but the poster is messed up) (Carlos)
- Ability to choose your coin toss when testing your defense. (mariner)
- Eternals should be rewarded with a 5 star character ( rotating through the full pool of 5 stars, a different character each week) an actual 5 star character, not a soul! (Chaosego888)
- bonus points for list clears and win streaks (chaosego888)


"NEW IDEAS" to be implemented in addition to the current PVP experience...
(Join the discussion HERE)

- Addition of guilds (Slauki)
- Addition of raids (Slauki)
- Trooper team up? (Amarthir)
- "Go blind" - RNG will randomly pick any of your 3 defenses so anytime you fight the same player you won’t fight the same defense (Kamuz)
- give a twist to pvp every month like been able to bring a second Eddie but not like in pve where you can switch Eddies; Character class restrictions, Talisman or power move limitations (Kamuz, Ezz)
--- other ladders in PVP (above concepts, but done in separate PVP instances) (+ only sentinels, no power moves) (surfingwithdje)
- New Competition formats, such as Monthly rewards for top cumulative point standings for the entire month, Tournament of some sort (Ezz)
- Hall of fame (slauki, surfingwithdje)
- A "skin soul" that would give the winner a toon with different color (same abilities and stats) - something like a black nomad, that would be awesome and clearly would reward a player to fight for a top spot. (Carlos)
- Fragments drop for special characters, not an event but something ongoing where you needed 5000 or so before claiming a special character (chaosego888)


Store:
- Make a soul available for 800 Frontier coins that guarantees a non-dupe 5* toon (Mariner)
- Revisit some store prices, or bring back the specials like XP Boost for 1M Gold (slauki, and an older slauki post)
- Monthly support subscription - $5/$10 voluntary monthly contribution, with or without something in return (slauki)
--- I would do this too. Or construct new packs like the founders packs. (mariner)
- gold boost similar to the XP boost (Amarthir)
- other stuff shouls be available for gold too like xp and talisman evo packs (slauki)
- lower the price for the monthly legendary soul, 10 mio is somewhat out of line, feels like a robbery (slauki)


Audio:
- include live versions of their music for battle scenes (brewtus)
- Add lyrics back in and vary the music a bit - maybe ability to randomize tracks (Yup, Brewtus and Amarthir)


General Promotions:
- Build in a gps location identifier and pair it with real-world events. For example, you go to the Maiden concert this summer and when you arrive, it recognizes that you're there and you earn a special 'tour soul' for a new toon, or a tour pack that gives you special character skins (expanding on Carlos's idea) (mariner)
