Ask Us Anything: 9/12/12 Digest

[iamisom]

Once again, we're opening the floodgates. Ask us anything Dungeon Defenders, Trendy Entertainment or team related! (We can't answer questions about our next projects at this time. Sorry about that.)

We'll close the thread on Monday and have the answers to a handful of your questions in the 9/12/12 Digest.

Will PSN EU be entitled to any form of Trendy-hosted community events for consoles? or is this always going to be PSN US ?

1. How do you usually test levels? Do you have a picture in your head of what stats "should" beat a level and then test a range of stats above and below or do you just test with your normal characters and look for basic bugs/glitches?

2. When was the last time a group of people on staff actually started new toons and played the game start to finish to test progression?

Who came up with the whole dungeon defenders idea?

How did they come up with it?

Did you think the game would be as successful as it is, or did you think it could have done better?

Why did you make it a giraffe on a treadmill, you could have made laura very happy if it was a cow on a treadmill.

Will the Huntress recieve some loving from you guys and get the buff she almost deserves after being your original deisgn for a full on DPS character?

She just has too much against her with poor health, dps and pet damage scaling and her pierce shot shouldn't be so restricted.

Although still my fav though. She needs to be returned to her former glory.

You mentioned that the RNG has issues, but won't be planning to fix it.

As you see it, what ARE the issues with the RNG?

[Argotto]

The question you posted in the digest was "Will the RNG ever be reworked".

I don't think it truly needs to be reworked, and I don't think most people want it completely redone. With that said, my question is this; Will RNG ever be tweaked SLIGHTLY so that it doesn't require weeks of grinding survivals to acquire 1 piece of a semi-upgrade armor piece? Random is random, but surely you are all aware of how low a chance it is to find a decent piece of gear in a reasonable amount of time?

I think that's part of the problem, which was the reasoning behind my first post in the thread. I honestly don't think they know what it takes to farm decent gear in the game's current state.

Would Trendy consider using RNG/loot alterations from a mod? (assuming here that it's sensible alterations)
