Okay, I think this is a simple enough idea to implement. You know where in most games you have a difficulty setting? Okay, I’m sure most of you have played Half Life and thought it was easy, so you gave the enemy NPCs some steroids to make this more interesting. This is pretty much what I’d like to see here. I mean, okay, we have the difficulty levels on the forums themselves (1 through 35), but I can easily brush past Dykea with a few 5HTPs.

Personally, I’d like to make it a bit more challenging. Here’s what I propose:

Normal mode – Plays as normal, not much to say here.

Advanced mode – More topics and attacks are a little less effective. More cred earned.

Hardcore mode – Even more topics, attacks are less effective. Lots more cred earned.

Battletoads mode – I hope you’re wearing an adult nappy. Log in to see images!

I like this idea.

Also, CZ could draw out the game content even further if they did the same with it. Basically, having you beat it once on ‘normal’, and then get the option to play it again at a higher difficulty. I guess the reward could be an epeen for each higher level.

I don’t really know how it would work with the cap. For it to really be a challenge for those who have beaten Ep2 (and have all of the decent moar files), forums would need to be of a lot higher difficulty. Keeping us at level 35…there’s only so much tougher you can make it without being ridiculously hard. At the very least, we’d need better healing items.

just like my idea for lengthening forums, it makes sense and is fun only if CZ can remove the level cap (but keep the E-Peen)

EDIT: i saw this topic AFTER i made mine

(so i didn’t copy it ; look at the timestamps if u don’t believe me)

I think it’s a good idea, if not for more cred, at least for more parts of .moar files. A little more work and you maximize your chances of getting the file you want, or maybe some hidden and useful bonuses/items for something accomplished at hard/very hard.
