The monolith corruption progression for alts needs a way to be sped up in some way. As it is if you are rerolling an alt everything is just too time consuming and boring to make it worth creating a second char I want to try at high corruption.
A way to toggle on the current timeline corruption catch-up mechanic that exists and make it account-wide I feel would be a good balance between QoL and keeping players playing while also not making farming to high corruption too quick or easy for alts. If people want to go slower they just wouldn’t toggle it.
e.g. If you had max 800 on acct you could enable catchup to get to a difficult corruption (350 or 450 but just an example # doesnt matter) quickly and once it gets difficult toggle it off so you are only gaining 20 or so corruption every reset instead of the 80+ you can get with the catchup mechanic
Obviously that’s true doesn’t change anything I said or provide any substance to this conversation at all. I agree with what you said about empowered but given they have already confirmed to change that figured no need to make another topic on something that is guaranteed to be changed in some way.
The time required to get back to high corruption though is just way too high for this type of game and disincentivizes people rerolling multiple different builds.
I really want to play a lot of different stuff but after pushing to 1k corruption, I dont see myself ever do that again in the same cycle. I’d be down to do it again in 1.1 but doing more than 1 time in the same cycle just feels bad and boring. Long term this is just going to hinder player retention. Playing a new character and leveling with twink gear is fun but as soon as we reach the first monolith it just becomes a chore.
My biggest time waster. Making new characters because I can’t decide on what to play. Starting the Monoliths was rough the second time. Third time, made a faster character.
