[idea] IDDC balance problems and new IDDC-like mode

[Lightman]

I only have one IDDC character left and he is a thief at 2000 feet who lost all his money in the casino.

If spending time in towns is unfair, towns could slowly drain your XP. That would put an end to making "camps" in the towns.

Its a good idea, but its not enough. You can have thief character at certain depth and steal for your alt-char for a long time.. Thief doesn't need exp.

But still its interesting idea. Any more suggestions?

[Lightman]

Set all stolen items to level zero in IDDC.

and stealing for party run is dead

[tangar]

Set all stolen items to level zero in IDDC.

Hm. Actually its very good idea indeed! Although this wouldn't help VS

1) create "A" character, go till -1000. It would be your "bank" character.
2) create "B" second IDDC character (batty rogue - cause of speed bonus) and go like a hurricane to -1000
3) take all stuff from "B" to "A". Your bank character would get ~20k gold, useful items and equipment
4) delete "B" character and go paragraph 2
5) when you get enough gold for top equip - create your "main" char and play. Do it till you get to -2000 & repeat there.

Also rogues already one of the most popular classes for IDDC (http://www.tomenet.eu/legends-iddc.php 7 of 50 chars are rogues). So if we would make stealing exclusive to rogues - it would make rogues imba in comparison to another classes and even more people would play them.. So if we would cancel stealing for alts in IDDC, may rogues themselves has to be nerfed somehow? Hm.. But in other way, if there would be exp-loosing for beign in town for long time, this problem wouldn't exist

//Discuss please

[Lightman]

It is a different style of play rather than a guarenteed improvement. The way to make everyone happy would be to have it as a "Super Iron" option with its own highscore.

[tangar]

Of course it has to be like this Its what I suggest in this topic - create a new IDDC-like mode with separate score.

But still I don't think our discussion any close to the end. We need to brainstorm more and moar and moar...

moar suggestions

[tokariew]

Tangar be happy that i can't add css rainbow style to post
Runemaster can train stealing too, but get 0.7 from skill point. And as maiar you can max 3 runie school (if one is with racial bonus), sword/or if corrupted axes and stealing at 50

Hot news:
Right now there is a discussion in-game - devs reviewing /rfe to do something with "sales" in IDDC town to prevent speed up price scumming...

---
Update:
/rfe was declined due players didn't want to make current IDDC-mode harder.

There's no need to nerf IDDC, all characters are volatile in that mode. If you have the time to waste grinding money from repeatedly diving characters to 1k and giving that money to your main char, good for you, but you will be even more pissed when said character dies at 1050ft after descending less than ten seconds from something you didn't manage to avoid.

On the opposite, I'd say improve shops to further reduce time spent in towns. More play, more fun.
