Request for some improvements to the arena

#1 Post by Gunthar »

As the title ays it I would like to see some improvements to the arena:

a) Currently the shop is only appearing at the beginning of the arena fight and then no more. It would be nice to get the arena shop after every 10 waves. Else it would be a quite nonsense to collect money in the arena at all. And this should offset a bit of bad luck at loot drops in the arena.

b) This is more an UI issue: It would be nice to see directly see how much money a character have. Currently I have search for it.

c) Different arena layouts

I think shops appear often enough, should they appear more often it will nullify importance of carrying capacity

What I'd like to see in arena

a) way to see the cost of equipment, that's important to know what to keep for sale

b) trainers that appear once or twice per run and offer ALL existing generic trees (locked) for sale, warring in price only.... Arena is a nice place to try stuff like sun paladins with aegis
At the very least having a chance to get all generic trees obtainable in main campaign is nice

The shop opens after every 15 waves.

And you shouldn't sell anything, because it all sells for 1 gold or less in the arena, to prevent exactly that.

I'm pretty sure there are things that sell for more than 1 gold. At least there was last time I played Arena (~2-3 weeks ago)

Maybe it's my copy, but regardless of 'value' listed next to an item, message log shows me only receiving one gold for any item I pick up and sell to the store.

Hmm... That could be. I never thought to look at how much money I got. But I don't think it was too far off, or I think I would've noticed...
