Items and Add-ons (Suggestions)

Items and Add-ons

I was going to start by suggesting an entirely new game mode i.e., Survive With Friends and Kill Your Friends. This new game mode would be devoid of items and add-ons. I've since reevaluated my position. Creating such a mode would remove tons of work and creativity from the game. I've been thinking it over and I've settled on a new but less gutted experience. In my opinion, trials become too one-sided when certain item or add-on combinations are used.

In the spirit of fun, my suggestion is to limit the number of items and add-ons that can be successfully paired. Of course, there would need to be an exception to the rule. I have an idea for that too.

Here are the changes I would like to see:

Item Combinations

  • Changed the number of Item and Add-on combinations allowed based on rarity.
  • Ultra Rare Items can no longer be paired with Ultra Rare, Very Rare, or Rare Add-ons.
  • Very Rare Items can no longer be paired with Ultra Rare or Very Rare Add-ons.
  • Rare Items can no longer be paired with Ultra Rare Add-ons.
  • Uncommon Items can be paired with any Add-on.
  • Common Items can be paired with any Add-on.
  • Updated text to reflect rarity combinations.

Add-on Combinations

  • Changed the number of Add-on combinations allowed based on rarity.
  • Ultra Rare Add-ons can no longer be paired with Ultra Rare, Very Rare, or Rare Items or Add-ons.
  • Very Rare Add-ons can no longer be paired with Ultra Rare or Very Rare Items or Add-ons.
  • Rare Items can no longer be paired with Ultra Rare Items or Add-ons.
  • Uncommon Add-ons can be paired with any Item or Add-on.
  • Common Add-ons can be paired with any Item or Add-on.
  • Updated text to reflect rarity combinations.

Survivor Perk Changes

  • Ace In The Hole: Updated text to reflect the changes to Item and Add-on rarity combinations.

Here's my exception to the rule idea:

Offerings

  • Added a new offering. Fragmented Soul (Very Rare): Temporarily satisfies the Entity granting the ability to use any combination of Item and Add-ons regardless of rarity. Items and Add-ons used in the next Trial will be lost.
