| Summary | 0008030: Some unlock requirements too steep since monster changes | ||||
| Description | Since the amount of areas where Espers spawn have been reduced, it's a good deal harder to encounter some of these. And because of this, some of the "Kill X enemies to unlock" unlocks are a chore to get and full, IMO, fully into the realm of grinding. In particular: -Having to kill 75 Lightning Espers for the Double Jump unlock is a bit excessive, as I can usually just go to the Lava Flats and kill a few Utahraptors to get the Triple Jump unlocked before I ever hunt down enough Lightning Espers for the double jump. Cutting the number down would help avoid this situation. -Killing 100 Explosive Espers is very excessive. They only appear in a couple areas (The Deeps and Swamps, as far as I know) and aren't very common enemies. This makes getting the Boomstick unlocked take so long that most players still aren't even aware that it exists. Decreasing the number to 50 or even less wouldn't be a bad idea. | ||||

Yep, definitely a problem -- thanks. Let us know about any more! * The "Kill 100 Explosive Espers" unlockable (which unlocks boomstick) has now been reduced to killing 10 explosive espers. ** It used to be that espers were all over the place so this was easy to hit, but lately as espers have become more rare this was suddenly very hard. * The "Kill 40 Lightning Espers" unlockable for the double jump unlock has been replaced by a new "Win 3 Freefall Missions" instead. |

Excellent. I'll keep looking and see if there are any other ones that strike me as crazy. |

Cool, I appreciate it -- sometimes things shift and have unintended consequences. ;) |
