Seeing Etho with those swift sneak boots makes me think it might be a good item to buy in the coin shop. Could maybe even reduce their durability to one hit so that they break if they are hit by a ravager.

You could totally do a season 2 where players are teamed up in pairs. Pairs would share the same score, victory tomes, and the same cards. It definitely wouldn't be a slog since everyone would progress twice as fast as the first time around, since they'd share cards with their teammate.

[@shipwreck9146]

Oooooh, it'd be cool if the teams were balanced, so the ones who scored lowest would be paired with the ones who scored highest. Then each team would have the same average skill level, so it'd be a really close competition.

[@lukeburris1011]

The max clank does something more akin to hazard, where it forces you to make suboptimal moves. In this case, it forces you to move more quickly with Vex on your tail. If your movements are precise even when moving quickly, it doesn't matter as much, but it kills any hermits that are too slow or imprecise. Like Etho said, one mistake kills. If you are rushing and run into a ravager because of it, that was a death due to clank. Edit: Etho chose not to get some coins to avoid the max clank as well. That's worth noting.

Definitely agree with Etho on the top players snowballing too far ahead of everyone else. Unfortunately Hypno's 5 extra shards right at the beginning might start to delegitimize his achievements for people despite him being legitimately amazing. Maybe it would've been more fair if he'd just been given 1 extra shard per week for the first 5 phases.

[@ArthurAtlas]

Agreed, I think he's a good enough player to get there on his own, but the fact that he was able to play 50% more than everyone else does somewhat undermine his achievements. Bonus shards are a tricky thing in general, seeing that Tango does want to reward people helping him, but it also throwing the initial balancing out of wack. Then again they're all friends and it's not a super serious competition, so as long as they are all having a good time, who cares.

[@BlahCraft1]

Tango, the thing about the vex/evokers is that they're a lot like Hazard as they multiply the danger of the ravagers; instead of blocking off alternative passageways the only way to get by vex/evokers is to sprint past. A ravager on their own is no issue to most players right now, they've gained the skill of relocating them. However, if a player is being forced to sprint past an evoker, one poorly placed ravager is a death sentence.

[@BlueCyann]

For sure, I think he would just have preferred them to be a death sentence all on their own, rather than being merely an increased hazard.

[@tylerhoyt136]

I also have an idea for the dungeon Lackey, since you were worried about the added clank and Hazard from you being in the dungeon with them. If you get swift sneak enchantments on leggings and use a potion of swiftness before the run, you can use toggle sneak and move just as quick as someone who is just walking normally. But because you're sneaking with swift sneak, you don't set off the skulk sensors.

[@PJOZeus]

Walking isn't fast enough. Ravagers. Then there's invisibility as well and it's just.. it's not happening The absolute best that could be possible at all would just be following in spectator, calling out loot and mobs - The more 'safeguards' the less adaptability there is, and there is very very very little adaptability in the system Unless he turned off clank entirely and just set a flat timer on adding some you just can't have another person in the crypt - You can't make it go off stumbles because adding more in would screw very very hard with their deck (especially as it gets bigger), you can't make a flat time on max heartrate because it would make clank blocks worthless - the system cannot be regeared easily, if at all, without either making it stupidly broken in their favour even more so than the purchase, or against them giving them max heart rate, spawning vex's and the most key point of shutting off all their loot 1.8x Clank counter? Disabled vex's and the loot shutoff? Especially as it's Etho he would abuse whatever leniency you give him - It just can't be done Freecam with repositioning for each level or nothing at all, there's no inbetween

[@tylerhoyt136]

⁠​⁠@@PJOZeus swift sneak can go up to level 5 if added through commands I believe? Which would be 100% of the normal walking speed. For the sake of the dungeon I don't see it being an issue to have X give tango a single legging piece for decked out. Combine this with a potion of swiftness and the toggled sneak speed would be the same as a player sprinting. The lackey is already an option which tango has talked about a few times not knowing what the best way to go is with it. I mean, it definitely should be him going in, that just makes them most sense, and at least this way he doesn't risk the clank. If he does just go with swift sneak 3 and potion of swiftness he can just spring whenever he has to and only when he has to so he can minimize the clank gained by him. And if he does go with just calling out the different treasures and ravages then that's fine, it's his game after all, but would definitely be most interesting to have him go into the dungeon with them.

[@wallyfarflinger]

I think it genuinely might be large slimes spawning that are killing wardens. They would be spawning the whole time people are running the dungeon since there are very few nearby spawnable spots left. If you spawnproof against the large ones it should be sufficient.

I hope this game is somehow embodied as it's own server or something. It's genuinely awesome and great work! I think a copy/paste is justified after all this work in survival... absolutely crazy.

Just having a vid with Etho and Tango talk is a true joy! Add Decked out and it made my whole day 🥰

The chances of the dungeon master being killed during an Etho run are low, but never zero.

[@johnpugh9865]

I think it might be a cool idea to add a "key shop" in level one. Basically, if someone runs long enough to collect, maybe 5-6 coins and haven't gotten a key, they can spend the coins to get a key.

[@ObscureSwan]

Totally random thought, but how well would Allays work in decked out. Like if you did a special event in the dungeon or got a legendary card, you get a little Allay who follows you around and can pick up coins

[@mymanager3662]

Really neat idea, maybe you could bring one into the dungeon with you if bought with crowns?

[@Muskar2]

The idea is very cool. It makes me think of Spyro's companion Sparx that picks up nearby gems. But I think there I think there is a risk that it'd pick up items from outside the dungeon - which would obviously be very unfair. And I'm not sure how you would stop it from following you in an automatic way. Perhaps you need to return it to its station for the exit doors to open up or something? Moreover, I've found they often get stuck and it'd be a pain for players to manage it through the dungeon, I think.

[@ObscureSwan]

@@mymanager3662 Some kind of Permanent Ethereal card sounds balanced. I think the only problems are that A:Allay AI sucks and it would get stuck and lost at the very first turn you sprint around. B:Collecting them after a failed run or even a successful run is near impossible . C: Noteblocks are everywhere in the game and would easily pull the allay away from the player. So overall, kinda cool on paper, never would work in reality.

[@hermitcollector]

Not sure if it would work in practice but it's a really cool idea!

Dude I love how well DO 2 is working out, you did such an incredible job.

Tango just zooming in to the treasures Etho missed 😂

[@liamengram6326]

9:20 With the clank thing I would say add more skeles (Edit: It was a stray not a skele. Thank you Sarah). Hypno was shocked when he heard an arrow, skeletons are more accurate and have more range than Vex, and when a player is hit by an arrow it will bump them and trip them up to make it easier for the Vex and the Ravagers to hit them.

[@sarahrigby1341]

Or the strays Tango considered a while back. Getting hit by one of the stray's slow arrows would be terrifying at max clank.

[@liamengram6326]

Oof yeah, that's what I meant. The stray is what surprised Hypno not a skele.

[@jausaramvilsu]

The ravagers would kill them because they would get hit by a stray arrow

[@liamengram6326]

​@@jausaramvilsu That's the point. It would make speed cards like Loot and Scoot more valuable. The whole point of Clank is that you want to block it so you can stay in the dungeon longer. If max clank isn't a considerable threat clank block cards lose their value entirely. Hypno spent 15-20 minutes in Level 3 after being at max clank before he even got there.

[@liamengram6326]

If a player who still has a really early game deck can spend 15+ minutes in Level 3 at max clank then clank isn't enough of a threat and you will see more strats like Etho's where people start treasure camping which at Level 2 and 3 could result in players getting stacks of crowns in a single run. And if top players are getting tons of crowns per run the price of shards will have to go up making it impossible for other players to buy extra shards.

[@nonr2500]

Idea for decked out merch: The decked out periodic table. Instead of real life elements it has “elements” of decked out. Example elements: -all the artifacts (their frost ember values could be their atomic numbers) -coins -crowns -frost embers -all the key types -repair kits -victory tombs -frozen shards -the 4 basic cards -flaming bats (required?) -the head of the dungeon master -legendary cards -crown shop cards Not sure about copyright on these ones: -a map -a compass -redstone -ravager -warden -noteblock

[@mooses27]

You need to explain the + ember and treasure to everyone... also explain the compass name for the third level to avoid confusion

[@Muskar2]

You mean "+" vs. "block", right? The arrows are kinda already explained in the How To Play video, but yeah, Hermits have missed many of the simpler mechanics and rules that were in that video, so they'll probably not realize. Personally, I think there needs to be a compass course that clearly teaches the compass-handicapped hermits that throwing the compass at a wall is not only a bad idea, but it's also kind of against the rules if you manage to put it in the wrong location by accident (which one hermit has already done).

[@tetsujin_144]

1:23:00 - (Discussing top players powering through the game and getting substantially more powerful cards, and how to keep lower-tier players from feeling like they have no chance to compete with them) Maybe lower the prices on mid-tier cards as the top players move on to top-tier cards? Maybe scale back the difficulty of levels 1 and 2 as top players start moving to level 3? (Lore being that the continued incursions into the dungeon have gradually made the higher levels safer) Maybe victory tomes get more expensive when you play higher levels? Let's say for level 1 it's 10 frost embers per tome, but if you play level 3 it's 40. Then players going to level 3 aren't getting 5 or 6 victory tomes per run, they're more likely to have to give up a card purchase just to get *one* tome in a phase... They can still choose to play level 1 and pay 10 frost embers for a tome, and have an easier time of it... But then they're using one of their frost shards that could have been used for a level 3 run to just buy a victory tome at discount, and maybe not even getting enough embers to cover it. It might be a hard approach to balance properly but I like the idea of victory tome cost scaling up proportionally to the profit a player's likely getting, I think that could do a lot to prevent lower-level players from feeling shut out in the scoreboard competition. (It more or less decouples the victory tome competition from progress through the dungeon, because the cost of a tome is roughly one successful run's profit either way.) Or maybe just explore other avenues for keeping people (and their audiences, of course) engaged? A lot of players aren't going to be competitive against Etho and Hypno no matter what you do for them. Maybe you can lay out other kinds of challenges for them, things that are less about getting "the first" or "the most" or "the best" but still be rewarding in other ways? Maybe you could also give one of those players the dungeon controls once in a while, let them slam doors in Etho's face for a while.

[@sp0ny573]

Add a double compass artifact in the crown shop. That would be great.

people suggesting to nerf Etho, why? he isnt doing anything wrong, he isnt doing anything that anyone else cannot do. and honestly if you took away his ability to try to figure out ways to get ahead what is even the point of playing for him.

For a catch up mechanic you could print some extra powerful ephemeral cards, that way they get weeded out of the pool naturally and allow for the opportunity to do a big catch up run, but it still requires them to actually preform well in the run to earn the catchup

Honestly Decked Out 2 is so complete as a concept someone could probably take everything here and program it into it's own standalone game. And it'd be amazing.

[@Muskar2]

1:04:05 An idea to prevent infinite runs in future phases (and make other shop items more appealing): Introduce Frost Essences. When you end a run you have a chance to get an essence. In the crown shop you can buy Frozen Shards for 1 Frost Essence and X crowns instead. Then it's tweakable and you can make other sources to essence or whatever you think of. Loving this game too much, Tango! I'm so inspired by your game design ideas.

[@liamengram6326]

He's eventually going to up the cost of shards in the crown shop. They aren't going to stay 8 crowns when Hermits start exiting runs with enough crowns to buy 5 shards.

[@Muskar2]

​@@liamengram6326Sure, but Etho is always going to shoot for infinite shards and even if Tango increases prices to prevent that, it'll be too expensive for other hermits to buy shards - as Tango talked about multiple times in this vod. So I don't think raising prices is a good solution. With an idea like I proposed, it literally won't be possible to ever get an infinite key streak, no matter how great your treasure is. But I know it's a pretty big change, so people like Etho, who's banked on the treasure-to-infinite-keys strategy, is not going to be too happy with it. But it's still early days, and I think it'd be wise to bite the bullet and do something like this, to prevent it from ever getting out of hand.

[@cvilla1944]

Too many currencys already

[@Muskar2]

Let me clarify my reasoning if it's not obvious: Let's say you did 10 runs. Let's say the essence rate is 70%, so you got around 7 frost essences, and you got 150 crowns, because you're Etho. Thus you'd get 7 new shards. Then if you repeat the process for 7 more runs you'd get 5 more. Then 3 more. Then 2 more. Then 1 more. Then perhaps a few more. But eventually you'd be at 30 runs instead of 10 - but still far away from infinite. And if you instead tweaked the essence rate to be 50% it'd only be like 19 runs instead of 10. Let's say you're an average player. You got 7 frost essences, and you have like 15 crowns in phase 2. You'd still be compelled to buy a shard, and now you have something valuable to trade with others too. And even if the essences are traded, they'd still eventually run dry because they're tied to runs. Although, I'm sure Tango can come up with a better and/or simpler idea, being the awesome experienced game designer that he is. I just wanted to kindly remind him that there's ways to prevent infinite keys - which Tango hates and is actively trying to prevent - because it'll obviously be game-breaking - and it's already hard enough to prevent a huge gap over time between those with lowest success rate and those with the highest.

[@Muskar2]

@@cvilla1944 I agree, but I still think it's a really important problem to solve - and without a mechanic to literally prevent infinite shard loops, the gap will be even bigger between the hermits. So I think something has to be done. Do you think increasing prices will be enough?

[@juhor.7594]

I think the shop resetting from number of runs would be much more compelling for single-player runs after the Hermitcraft season has ended.

[@anshpalriwala4010]

In later stages, you can team ( of 3 people) up very strong guys with not so strong people, so everyone again is on the level playing field and seeing those guys work together and the experienced guy giving advices and stuff to the weak players will be fun to watch
