What if, on the main menu, there was a button to go to an arena. The arena is completely separate from the main game, and is used for one thing:
Experimenting with and testing out builds.
Why do I want this? My main reason is that this game is gonna be very time-consuming. And for new players, figuring out how the mechanics work and what build they might enjoy playing as is hard. Right now there is a website where you can make builds, and that is great! The issue is there is no easy way to test them out in actual gameplay, to see if you like that particular playstyle or not. You could respec, reroll etc, but that removes all your current progress, and when 100x XP gain is gone it will be very time-consuming.
Thus mu suggestion. A gamemode like this would allow both old and new players to figure out some stuff before jumping into the main experience. Let them manually distribute the points around to make whatever build they want. It allows the player to quickly get a feel of what they wanna play as, and thus give them an educated goal to work towards in the main game.
A new player that has played for 70+ hours, only to discover another race/buils fits their playstyle better in the end, could very much drive them to quit the game entierly.
This is ofc just a rough scetch or an idea, any thoughts and comments are appreciated
Tnx for reading!
