Ideas Blobfish may or may not already be working on: 1) endless mode - just let the HP and spawn rate go crazy after wave 20, but let the busted runs see how far they can get. 2) limit break mode - Every 5 levels or so, you get a meta-item, which gives you a class benefit from another character in the game. Example: On the knight, at level 5, you get the one-arm's attack speed of 200% bonus and some other character's downside, like no harvesting on the saver. You could truly build some busted stuff from that, and I think it would be fun.

[@jaydonzornes4493]

My idea for balancing horde waves vs elite waves besides giving you the option to choose the elite would be adding the legendary crate as an reward for a kill threshold

[@Talausia]

I was literally coming here to say this.

[@meekumanu]

finding the right kill threshhold to be possible but not easy sounds like a nightmare to balance though

[@Clumbob]

I think it would be interesting to just have a high drop rate for normal crates on the horde wave, so rather than a guaranteed legendary crate you get to open like 8 crates if you're killing all the enemies

[@migueldasilva5695]

Or make it like 1.5x money gained per kill. Give it a unique type of reward for beating it instead of having it be the dame as elite waves

[@Paulo594]

@@meekumanu Dev team could ask permissions to get data on play, if they don’t already, check amount of kills per hordes, then pick something hard but achievable

[@afrogedon]

The harvesting thing is probably also about flavor for the character, a knight doesn't harvest since he's not a peasant so it's heavily disincentivised

[@alxhades6231]

You actually got more money from the Elite than the Horde phase. It certainly is a FeelsBadMan moment. 100% agree on your take.

[@isaacbramble1165]

He got more money because it was a later round not because the elite gave more

[@alxhades6231]

@@isaacbramble1165 lol.... my guy the difference aint miniscule, he got 100 more materials and a relic worth approximately 300+ depending on the round. Get your math right.

Suggestion: Try using the accessibility options to increase enemy speed, damage and health. Challenge: Win a run with a build of your choosing with max enemy speed and max enemy health on Danger 5.

[@TerryADavis-dx8vp]

Use the fist with the Knight. Counter-intuitive, but it balances out the attack speed problem, and turns him into a tanky, life-stealing machine.

[@ponponnulala6800]

The run i've been trying to make work is a food build. just Chunky with Cleavers and as many food upgrades as you can. just to see how much you can get food to heal with

[@terrybradford3727]

Can't wait to see the explosive glove and thunder storm. Enjoying the series. Time to check out the next video.

[@ericbonow4809]

Two ideas for balancing horde reward. 1. Give a 50-100% material and/or exp boost. I feel like that be more like a bonus stage feel where given more incentive to "kill as many as you can" or more like Level 9 which is one of the most fun stages to play on for ethereal/material hunting builds. 2. Give a free legendary stat boost for surviving. Picking a legendary stat boost may often be better than recycling a potentially useless legendary item.

[@dillon8124]

I feel like ugly tooth might be the best item game just because so often I find myself thinking "if I didn't have ugly tooth this boss/ elite would kill me" and I don't really feel that with any other passive item

[@alexanderwagner7891]

Kinda long time viewer/ silent stalker, first time commenter. Keep up the good work!

[@djhuti]

Build idea -- Stand still enemies: Old, Lucky Tooth, Snail, Wandering Bot, and Thunder Sword / Taser.

[@metuos.3651]

I think you should double down on your Hunting Trophy obsession. Do a run with all Thief Knives, get Hunting Trophy, maybe a few metal detectors, and just see how much raw cash you can get from those bonuses

[@jerekcrowler9682]

For a horde, maybe a free crate every 100 kills. After 400 maybe 500 kills get a legendary? Sounds good to me

[@zodiakgames]

Item idea: randomizes your weapon loadout

[@rovietergeek]

This question is out genuine curiosity, but when do you decide which healing stat (hp regen, lifesteal, and luck) is appropriate?

[@22Hyden]

I don't see this concept after a brief search, so I apologize if you've already completed it. Six different weapons. No copies outside of the shop

[@m0002856]

After having played a ton of Danger 5 myself, I definitely think the horde wave sucks compared to the elite. The only time it’s been a legitimate benefit is when using an ethereal weapon like the axe or the dagger, or if you have a high crit build with Hunting Trophy or Thief Daggers. I had a high crit build with multiple hunting trophies, several purple shuriken, and maxed crit chance and the horde round was some of the best money I’ve ever made in a round in this game. But that’s one or two very specific builds whereas the elite wave gives you about the same money as a horde wave would with the benefit of not having 40 billion enemies swarming you and the possibility of getting a legendary item if you can kill the elite.

[@fanofchaos9628]

I would love if you went ranger and tried to get the sniper gun. I know it's more ideal for hunter but I don't think you've played ranger since the rework and ranger feels more like the gun character anyway.

[@affegpus4195]

I feel like there is a point of diminishing returns in damage increases, specially on big slow weapons. I mean lets say you killing a enemy in 4 hits. Then to kill the same enemy in 3 hits you need a 8.3% damage increase per hit. Not too bad. But then if you at 3 hits and want to go to 2, you need a 16.66% dmg increase. but then to go to 2 to a single hit you need to double your damage. And those are absolute % as I don't know of know how much dmg resistance enemies have and how the math is done, so it can be much worse. While that % atk speed increase will both increase your dps and time to kill a enemy

[@Kayla7Kira]

I'd like to see two different runs if you get the chance. First, a multitasker run where you take all the different ghost weapons. Second, a hammer build. Also, I always see you pass up the Gummy Berzerker. It seems like a good item, so why do you keep passing on it?

[@mikeburton1064]

I find lifesteal way better than hp regen with swords. Attack speed is slow, but every attack hits a LOT of dudes.

[@zatch7349]

What about an explosive build with forcing negative knock back and focus elemental damage and spreading fire

[@wtm121]

Great run

[@jokcho5]

Simple solution would be to give player a choice but if you choose you get a penalty for that choice e.g. more mobs, less resources, etc.

[@carltonrainey4758]

why don't you go ritual? its only negative is for engineering. I guess its a tad expansive, but considering its only an upgrade it might be worth.

[@zomburger2573]

Can you win as multitasker with 12 different weapons?

[@wylmccaul5072]

Three words. All Screwdriver Multitasker

[@CmdrCorn]

Seems like you should just collect standard money from the horde... I mean compared to a normal wave or an elite its just worse with no upside. When they made the extra enemies skimpy on the coin it didnt make sense to me...

[@CmdrCorn]

Okay the one upside would be if you have an ethereal spectral axe or whatever it is, and if theres any other permanent on kill effect

[@djsouthern9935]

[@TwisteddigitTK]

The swords stop showing up in the shop after a while. It feels like the game has its finger on the RNG scale.

I guess that's WAI.
