5 tiers is too much - improved Shop compromise with 3 tiers & more Posted: 11 Oct 2020 06:55 AM PDT ​ Tiers are there to keep shop rng down, and at the same time to gatekeep strong items with a round timer. Items having flat costs to make it easier on players to calculate. Good in theory - dull in practice (in a card game!). ​ Why Shop with 3 tiers is better and how to do it - You don't need 5 tiers to reduce rng, you can just as well do it with 3. - Less elaborate system, more fitting a card game. - Item prices will (by necessity) be varied again. A natural implementation, fitting more a rogue game. Easier to balance items. - Gatekeeping can be done with item prices, and reducing item power levels (why must items be game ending?) 3 Tiers corresponding with varied item prices; 1) 10-19g 2) 20-29g 3) 30-39g. As you can see, the third tier can already have items of higher cost, exactly what we want. The Get Gold button will no longer increase with upgrade (would be too strong to level up to max and just get gold after). I would suggest that it should even be nerfed. It's mostly there to help in the start. It can start at 3, and go down by 1 for next round if you use it (to 0), and go up again by 1 for next round every time you don't use it (to 3). Seems simple and nice to me, still keeping it interesting and dynamic. You can have only 1 copy of an item in deck, and only 1 item from your deck will be displayed in either of three shop slots. Secret Shop deck contents changed to 5, 4, 3 (each tier), 12 total (maybe 5, 3, 2). Will no longer be displayed in deck trackers, and actually be secret?! There cannot be same items between your deck and secret shop. I personally would make secret shop the same for both players (different copies of it and rng). This way you can even deny your opponent items in secret shop, by including them yourself (and fits good with this tier system, there will be items and tiers that won't be essential to your gameplan, but you have to include them to complete your deck, and not delude your preferred tiers) (but maybe item deck can be changed to allow sizes of 5-10 items, since displayed in 1 slot only anyway). If devs want to change current shop (they should), without changing it completely, this would be a very welcome compromise. ​ submitted by /u/Arachas [link] [comments]
