- I really like the moment-to-moment gameplay, but there’s not a lot of it compared to the amount of time spent in queue and purchasing. I timed it and it seems close to a 1:2 gameplay to non-gameplay ratio. When I think of other pvp games I’ve played and enjoy that ratio is 10-20x in the other direction. Maybe ascension is different but that mode doesn’t exist currently so idk.
- The economy system carrying over currency between rounds alongside the queue not being floor-specific is just bad. I don’t think I’ve ever seen any pvp arena game where you can come in with more resources than other players based on how you did in previous unrelated games. It seems like this also gives incentive for players to econ and save for other rounds, so you basically get griefed when someone isn’t spending all their currency.
- Set bonuses for ultimate abilities also feels like it directly contradicts the ability to mix and match pieces. Since transformation has a cast time, it seems like it would make more sense to enable transformation at 2 pieces, and give some other benefit at 3 and 4. A second transformation could be put on Z (not sure what the benefit of RP walk is currently). I suppose there’s the issue of animating all the weapons on the different transformations so maybe just have a “transformation” to enable the ability that doesn’t actually fully change the model without the full set.
- It sounds like before relics were more random instead of just buying what you want and then being penalized for repeating choices? That sounds more fun to me I think.
- You can’t see your performance for the game on the last game of your climb unless I’m missing something it just shows overall. I feel like overall stats are somewhat worthless since it goes back through multiple games I don’t even remember details for with tons of variables on different relics, while the current game I just played is what I want to see info on.
- Weapons can be in different slots depending on the order you get them, it would be nice to have a hotkey that swaps the slots they are equipped in.

ascension will largely address this. Spires is moresoi meant to onboard new players to knowing what thing are and do.

youre right king. i too wish final stage stats gave way to the whole run. I dont care about the whole run, personally.

this exists. Hold tab and there is an arrow above the weapons to swap positions.
