The game is fun me and my frienfs talked about a mode like binding of isac where you can after the endboss start directly a new run with all the upgrades. Or more random events that can happen mini boss spawn or something to defend or something totaly different. And maybe we can use oure scrap during a run for something only for the chest and i have still now 60k

I play most of my time games like r6 or warframe

POINT 1: Make special waves happen more often please, they seem to only happen once per run, and they add uniqueness to each run!! (also it seems that special waves are bugged right now, they don't seem to last as long as intended)

POINT 2: More variations on bosses and add more RNG elements to them, right now as a rogue like there is too many ways to get the best stuff and fight the easiest bosses giving too much power of choice to players and this is a bad thing, they can just get what they want in each run this lessens variation.
especially since the recent patch removed some RNG from the shop.

I'm sure someone has possibly made this suggestion, but the addition of a survival mode may enhance re-playability. Say, (3) heros start in a single room, and fend off successive waves of monsters. Throw in a means of upgrades, gaining resources for turrets, a couple mini-boss/ultra monster types for added adrenaline, and a timer for leaderboards. 

Endless Dungeon is a gorgeous game with fun gameplay. I hope you continue developing content. 

I play mostly "arcade style" multiplayer games such as Deep Rock Galactic and Helldivers (where you load up a short mission or match, then succeed or fail, and then opt to launch another mission or call it a night). This mission style is convenient to play with busy adult friends.

Roguelites that I've enjoyed include Darkest Dungeon & Hades. 

I'm in the camp of giving the player more choice, not less. Runs where I don't choose the path feel like I have less agency. Instead give me more meaningful choices everytime that I'm prompted to make a choice. (One of Helldivers most compelling base choices is allowing the player to choose their exact starting location when launching the next run.)

• What will make you play more runs? 

Darkest Dungeon, Hades, Deep Rock, and Helldivers, have two gameplay loops that feed into each other: 

1. base phase: setting up for a run.

2. The mission.

Completing a mission grants a reward that the player fiddles with at base. Then the player is compelled to try the new reward in a new run. 

Returning to base offers a surprise every time (aka base events). Each base phase is series of management choices that sets the player up for a new run, often by presenting the player with a unique challenge for a unique reward (and the choice is unavoidable or not easily ignored). The player has to opt in or out of the challenge for their next run. 

IMHO, the most compelling base event in the game currently is what song the band is playing. It's charming, but this event has no effect on the next run. 

Endless Dungeon could provide the player unique but limited time opportunities (that are unavoidable - a choice has to be made even if it's to opt out of a challenge).

Fassie could recommend a drink that offers a unique reward like starting with extra dust. Comrade could request you field test a weapon or turret (on a specific enemy type) which gives it to the player as a starting option. 

Bunker offers bounties that leads to a mini boss with a unique reward.

Blaze sells you dynamite to blow away debris blocking a special door that hides a chest.

Currently:

Fassie offers all drinks and all rewards are always the same, chips. The reward is not compelling since we can earn chips by playing a level. (So, why opt for a drink?)

Chests found in a level are opened without a thought -the choice is a given. We don't have to choose between two chests and we don't have to spend keys to unlock them.

We can buy chests but there's no choice because we can only buy one. Once the player has enough scrap they always purchase the high end choice. The choice is practically made for the player. 

Give the player more choices at base to set up for a run. Let us buy 3-4 items to bring into a run: turret chests, weapon chests, keys, device chests, single use maps that reveal what's behind adjacent doors, etc so we have to make choices. 

Give the player opportunity cost choices and make rewards generous. Don't be stingy with currency or spike the costs. The cost is the opportunity. 

We play another run if there is a challenge or goal that one of my friends is trying to accomplish. Endless Dungeon character missions are a similar mechanic but those were only 4 steps. 

Deep Rock has a season pass that offers cosmetic rewards. We also chased weapon modifiers (called overclocks) that vastly altered a weapon's behavior. I think a cosmetic season pass would fit for Endless Dungeon. However, I feel weapon modifiers should be discovered during a run since it is a roguelite.

• Is there a specific area or element that you would like to be expanded/improved (weapons, variety of upgrades, unique modifiers, etc)?

1. Weapon & turret modifiers that change the behavior of the weapons/turrets drastically. (A holo turret that returns damage, a napalm turret that leaves aoe).

2. Modifiers for character skill and ultimates. (Blaze's dynamite could turn into tesla spikes, his ult could electrify the room he's in and maybe turn on the power?)

3. More mission events. We have blackouts & crystal shard events that mix up a run. We need more of these. 

       Can the bot hack something?

       Bounties?

       Challenges where you need to use a specific element (turret or weapon): power a grid with electricity, dissolve a lock with acid?

       Destroy the mega nest/spawner?

4. More bosses

• What in the meta progression should be improved/added to motivate doing more runs?

I don't think the game needs more difficulty levels. (At least until issues like variety and balance are addressed.) The game would just turn into a grind slog without adding more variety. 

I think the game could use more narrative content. It seems like the ending is the same for every single team combination. Also, their personal missions lack story cinematics as rewards. 

Wanted to add:

On the elevator, the player is given a choice for the 2nd and 3rd floor locations but there's no info or consequence given to make the choice compelling.

Modifiers or intel could be added to this moment of choice. 

i.e. 

Life incubator has a crystal shard.

Factory has a gold chest

Or

Life incubator (gain random device)

Factory (gain random resource)

Now, the player deliberates over the choice.

Oh, base events and preparing for the next run, this could be really cool. I played some helldivers and a lot of the strategy began even before deploying for mission. That could be a very interesting idea to bring to ED. More meaningful choices on the saloon.

great post
