IDDC shopping cheeze
Posted: Thu Mar 10, 2016 5:37 pm
Right now IDDC character appears with ~770 gold. For this gold you could buy pretty awesome items if you would wait for sales in the shops. For example, I just bought Fire res. ring for 28g or so.
So you could make your IDDChallenge much easier if you would buy, for example, a codex and fill it with spells by your choice. And its quite possible to do, but its very long time waiting for good price in Bree.
So actually to go IDDC you have to wait for items for 1-2 hours. If you wouldn't do it, your chances to survive there reduced a lot.
I've heard that IDDC-players also spending a lot of times in cheezing sales in low deepths (generated towns). Not the best part of gameplay in such interesting mode
Idea of IDDC - to survive with limited resources. Time - its also a resource, it would be fun to remove cheezing from IDDC.
I see such posibilities to fix it:
Forbid IDDC characters to buy items with [sale] or %-lowered prices. Sell it at full price only. But then people who did IDDC previously can't be beaten in scoreboard and chars which already created would have quite big advantage. To separate them in ladder - we could put a flag ($) at their name.
OR
Another approach - to add bonus score to players who didnt buy [sale] or %-price items. Like 25% more points in IDDC. May be even just add this option to Hellish mode and increase final score % a bit.. I think its quite good solution.
Please discuss
