Suggestion for late game

[Anu-11792]

The game indeed needs a proper challenging endgame

But I doubt the solution is to go for more areas

But rather empower existing ones and have control over it and reward effort

Like making The monsters harder and harder the more cleared the game is

The PERFECT endgame solution!

Easy I wish endgame was just a bit spicier ‪We need an endgame mechanic that, games created with Baal quest completed have the remaining unactivated mobs get harder and harder the more cleared the game is. Let’s call it King of the Hell in reference to king of the hill’s last man standby mechanic Like playercount, unactivated monsters still can be modified. Meaning they can be buff up until you activate them for example: PER % cleared monsters gain +%8 life, 5% xp, +2%dmg, +1% resist(cap …

They gain mlvl up to 85

And also gain life, dmg, resistances, xp and no loot … not Mf

Then you can special areas that can be open through cube recipe but only at a certain %game cleared threshold

Ie:

• cube something in harrogath corner at 75% to face Bul Kathos revived by nilatak
• cube something near the tainted glasses of act 4 at 85% to turn it into a portal that leads to Diablo 1 hell architecture map filled with sucubus and doom knights
• cube something in town with at least 95% game cleared to turn all remaining monsters into clones of bosses (boss mod)

The first part of this endgame concept takes pretty much no dev effort… it’s just reusing an improved version of playercount mechanic
