Eggs work so fantastically as a granular slider for difficulty, but their usefulness in that regard is entirely blocked off by how much you need to commit to an exact power level. By instead letting you choose up to your current maximum, then your ability to fine tune the difficulty of specific builds would be way higher.
#Add an egg value slider.
clever basalt
I'd even be willing to give up on the Egg rewards still being random. if there was a linear formula for them instead, i'd still like them just as much.
Basically, why must we make a trade off between increasing endgame power and tuning one specific build?
Heck, a simulated (run only) egg loss mechanic would work. (though i doubt that would feel very fun).
one that goes up or down on specific level up speeds
being able to use it as a safety net for a specific levelling rate would be pretty cool.
... someone should post that second one actually...
At least test one?
some sort of effect that implies the eggs are sparkling out of you like a sort of golden parachute whenever you lose them in a level? spin the number going down as a good thing?
