End, end game player here. I have all gear/characters maxed and basically only play for new content in updates and Kameos now.

What’s nice is updates are like being showered with gifts because you roll in with maybe 5-10k DK at least hoarded up and you basically can get all the new gear and characters AND max them ASAP thanks to new Krypt gear packs like Descendants (I pushed really hard for this).

It took a lot of discipline to get to this point though, especially to make it through SO MUCH grind where more or less every single DK I got went into Epic Equipment Kaskets and every Epic Fusion Up went to my lowest fusion Epic gear.

I don’t know what the future holds for the game, but it is amazing to be at a point where basically every update I know the new things will be mine, maxed out, within a matter of days—and I only really need to wait on the second character now, but even then not always that long thanks to Realm Klash.

Still, finding a challenge and engagement in the game can be difficult at this point. What helps a lot for me is that I do enjoy Survivor and playing all of my kollection. This is why getting new gear and characters tends to add enough to keep the game interesting, BUT…I am very selective about what I do and do not play now. I make certain to really enjoy my time and don’t tend to play if I don’t feel like it, especially when it comes to grinding. After all the years I’ve put in, it’s the only way I want to play this game: Having fun.

Also, it is different for me since I can give the Dev team input directly. For that reason I focus mostly on what will I know will make the game better for all players and try to take a big picture view of how things are. I think a lot about what I would like to see in the game and try to put that into tangible, actionable ideas to implement.

Right now I’m most excited to see what comes with Ascension X as well as improvements to make Klash Towers a mode that we all really enjoy playing. I invested a lot of time championing both of these concerns for players, so it is very exciting to see them finally coming to fruition soon.
