What do YOU want out of a Dawntrail Deep Dungeon?

[VentVanitas]

As the title reads.

Are you satisfied with the current format of DD's? Would you want another in the same mold? What changes, if any, would you like to see? Would you prefer they go for a drastically different take this time around? Etc., etc..

And always, civility, please. Thanks!

I think SE needs to reflect on what other mystery dungeon games do that makes their gameplay loop/design formula work and why people enjoy dungeon crawling games if they want Deep Dungeons to be improved upon or become a bigger hit with players. personally? I think they need to take a few pages out of Spiral Knights' book with how varied its floors can get with locations, structure, rudimentary puzzles/obstacles, enemy design, etc. despite all of its ridiculous RNG/time based grinding, the game still has an addicting gameplay loop because you can just pick a zone to see how far you can get, and still come home with something even if you die or fail to reach the end.

in other words, it needs a tad more basic dungeon crawler/roguelike design, players need more incentive to keep going at it other than exp because wiping in DDs is incredibly demotivating. Saraide already mentioned the idea of bringing over a lost action/essence system, and I think that can work really well if its implemented to make players play more to unlock more, like your average roguelike. even if you die, you can still amass actions/essences so you can prepare better for future runs. a better reward structure in general so it feels more connected to end game would be appreciated, too, such as being able to get augment coins and all that.
