Heya! :)
As discussed in another thread, this game lends itself to adding more categories, so I would to take a moment to discuss this with you all.
The way I see it, these categories could be added:
- NG++ subcategory for Lu/Xiahou - I would abstain from adding a NG+ category and go for NG++. Why? Because on NG+ you unlock the feature to fight the other character's bosses in the Trials and gain their items (as well as two completely new bosses!), allowing you to grow ever more in power. You can also collect more ressources to unlock even more abilities in your skill tree(s), rounding out your kit. None of these may have any actual impact your actual power level, but - as far as I see it - a NG+ or similar run should be done on the maximum achieveable power level and you cannot do that on NG+ for the aforementioned reasons.
- "Boss Rush" - Since you can freely replay all the game's boss fights with the Trials at the shrines, we could add a Boss Rush category. Possible subcategories could be "Lu's/Xiahou's bosses" as "Lu/Xiahou", "All Bosses" and "All Bosses NG+", as two more bosses are added in NG+ that you normally don'T fight during the game.
- Bosses as Individual Levels - Same as above, but instead of fighting all bosses back-to-back you only fight one of them and try to beat them as quickly as possible, maybe with a specific loadout.
Let me know what you think! :)
Also, keep in mind that these probably won't get added unless somebody actually does runs of these categories, as I don't want to clutter the board with empty categories that people are interested in, but never actually run.
Thank you, i absolutely agree with Ng++ instead of single NG+ as our kit will be even more complete and makes us choose between more options and have more experimentations with the runs. I like the boss rush category as well, and i agree it should be split between the 2 chars, so there will be 3 BR categories All bosses, and Lu's/Xiahou's bosses, each one with a sub category for the character choosen. Seems like a great idea!
