The Summoner summons minions to do his bidding.

To assist with stat testing accross all the various game difficulties.

Create decks with different characters or even same summoners in multiple decks or allow to bind F6 - F12 to different summoners

Who doesn't have more than 4 summoners they use on a map?

Imagine the time saved if you had Deck 1 bound to F6 where you have your Tower Apprentice, Fortify Squire, Aura Monk and Trap Hunter to build your map then quickly at the last moment switch to your Deck 2 bound to F7 when you'd like to have, your DPS apprentice, Block Squire Dragon, DPS Huntress, and DPS Monk. without going into character panel then swapping each and every character out.

Or switch to a deck to help powerlevel between 4 summoners under 90.

A duel-wielding Hero of pure destruction.

Just like dd1 the crystal should be customizable and lock some cool designs behind achievments and challenges and what not so other players know what you have achieved to get the cooles crystal in the game i would love to see a return of the Trendy Ent crystal but also a new Chromatic Games crystal

Not having ogres or any specific mob being announced or pinged when it spawns makes survival rounds a little unpredictable, or makes the players not know why they lost.

Having a DD1-ish way of announcing certain enemies would be useful. And it's the best of both worlds if it's togglable.

Allow options like default, strong, flying, close, and first (by distance to core), this would work as a first target basis, e.g. flying - target flying first once dead goes back to default targetting.

In DD1 you could press a key to rotate through towers that were stacked (like auras and traps) that were placed in the same position. DDA would most likely benefit from this feature similarly to prevent the hassle of looking upwards to edit auras, or placing towers separately.

It would be awesome to sell, browse through inventory during waves, nothing on the "equipped" category, such as equip another set, maybe 'lock' the equipped items

Make the grind more fun!

In Dungeon Defenders 1 there was a QoL update very late in the Game that added the ability to force start the wave as the host using Ctrl + G please get this back to us as fast as possible :)

Leader Enemies can spawn in every enemie class and will will be bigger and have most likely more health than the normal enemies ontop of that they could get a unique skin and should get atleast 1 new attack or boost other enemies in the same class in some way that are close to them for example

-Goblin Leaders can increase the max damage of goblins nearby and have higher priority on the towers so they get the most damage before the goblins around him get targeted -Dark Elf Archer Leaders should have increased range and shoot multiple arrows with increased damage and target multiple defenses at once with like a 3 shot attack -Kobold Leaders should spawn with multiple kobolds around him that try to protect him because when he explodes near defenses he will do a big explosion and hit hard -Dark Elf Mage Leaders will have a constant healing aura for skeletons around him and is summoning them non stop -Dark Elf Warrior Leaders spawn with a set of thier own warriors that all stay together have a low tower prority and go for the players in the game with increased health and damage -Wyvern Leaders will be very big and speed up the other wyverns while staying infront of them and protect them that all of them can reach the defenses and crystals -Orc Leaders should be more tanky and be slower but increase the walking and attack speed of other orcs nearby and they themselves should stay back and throw thier own axe like a boomerang and it comes back to them -Skelton Leaders should be immortal until thier dark elf summoner dies and can not be damaged because they are literally dead -Ogre Leaders should ignore players completly and go straight to the crystal and do increased damage to defenses in the way but because you can't get thier attention and they are bigger and fatter ;) they move slower -Spider Leaders spawn in doors and spawn thier alot of thier own small spider workers that have increased damage and will try to web all defenses in the lane of the spider leader -Djinn Leaders have thier own smaller djinns and work together to sell defenses faster or give other enemies a faster boost or even boost multiple enemies at the same time that are in the area -Shark Leaders should be very tanky increase the speed of thier sharks around them and give them more or even infinte stamina so they don't need to stop and breath for a second -Goblin Copter Leaders should bring in multiple ogres at once instead of only one and can shoot more homing rockets and have a low priority for towers because they also don't target towers -Siren Queens should atleast target 1 player and kill him before she starts to go away this will ofc be very hard if hardcore is active also she should be activly moving and even trying to aviod being hit but also should be targetable by towers

this all is of course subject to change and just some ideas to increase the difficulty in other ways than just increase the health of all enemies and make tower weaker and will make the gameplay more dynamic and interesting

Would be great to press TAB to see the level of any defense

Option to repair all towers,auras, traps at the end of a wave on survival mode! Modes that u have infinity time between waves

Display an icon on your screen when your inventory is full.

DD1 Nesso Pet is best Pet

Open a new lane. grab a tunnel and opens a new lane random. redirects another lane

When you press shift to see the ranges of the towers, instead of the green just getting darker when ranges overlap it should be a clearer heatmap

For example if you beat the Campaign for the first time on Hard it should give the checkmarks for easy and medium and for Survival, Purestrat and Mixed Mode it should also unlock the start on wave X for the lower difficulties if you beat a map to wave 20 on nightmare you should be allowed to start that map on wave 20 on nightmare, insane, medium and easy

An option to create loadouts for a hero, so that you can easily switch between DPS / Tower gear.

Holiday Themes we always a great addition to any games, it helps you really get into the spirit. There obviously will be hurdles in regards to what can and cant be added but it would be great to see holidays such as

Halloween - Spooky spider theme along with lantern around maps and spook haunted tavern Valentines Day - Love is in the air with Heart crystals, Love Bugs (spiders) - Ogres fire heart bombs Christmas - Xmas tavern / Santa Ogre / Decorated maps etc

Just a nice QoL feature

I would love to see them make a return and they would up the difficulty on maps there on a bit without the need to just increase the health of mobs and making them sponges https://dungeondefenders.fandom.com/wiki/Harbinger_(Creature)

Allow to keep the size of huntress' traps when building them consecutively

Have an option for something like DD1's cursor instead of the regular mouse cursor or simply replace the current one with it.

Why is it needed: It's a flaming sword that you can swing around by moving your cursor, that's awesome. What does it bring to the table: Infinite possibilities with your clicking thanks to the flaming power of your sword cursor. Who would profit from it: Everyone, everyone would profit from having a flaming sword instead of a regular cursor.

Also a cool feature would be to see remaining enemy spawns on map on which door through the round but make a option to enable and disable it

An invisible hero slot where you select which hero you want to be when the combat phase begins. I say invisible because it could be a hero in your deck of 4, or one not in your deck of 4. If they are in your deck, they get xp, if they are not, they don't get xp.

This feature would allow the following...

1. Building to the last possible second before the timer runs out and not having to worry about getting back to your dps character.
2. Not accidentally picking your builder huntress instead of your dps huntress.
3. Being able to have 4 builders in your deck without having to constantly keeep adjusting your deck. So you can build with all the base defenses without ever having to adjust your deck.
4. Being able to dps on a fully leveled character, while keeping all 4 of your hero slots for characters that need xp.

This would also be a toggle. So you don't have to auto switch if you don't want to.

Inspecting other players heroes to see thier armor pets stats etc

Sometimes you ready up on the wrong character, or your friend readies up while you are doing inventory management on a different character and it can kill an entire run, would be nice if you could swap characters 1 time per round, maybe under a time limit of 10 seconds after the round starts.

Its annoying at the start not being able to just play on insane if i want to do it also that i need to reach level 70 for nightmare and 83 for massacre are also unnecessary roadblocks the difficulty itself should stop me from beating it not a stupid requierment like they are in place now if a new player wants to try massacre for fun on a level 1 hero he should be allowed to

The Kobolds don't wanna blow themselves up. Give them a hug and tell them they matter. Maybe one will pay you a visit in your tavern.

Unlockable skins/designs for towers and traps from events and achievements

Be able to set a minimum number of upgrades an item needs to be auto looted.

Also it would be cool if Color codes work too like in DD1 :P

Map from DD1

Endless floors, modifiers to strategise around

Map from DD1

A flat map, with no obstacles, nothing, just monsters coming every way 360 º and u have to survive!!

Allow players to set a default value for their game publicity.

Like "Public", "Private" or "Friends only"

Would help make the game better sorted, and avoid people joining someone and just get instant kick due to them forgetting to set "friends only"

For quick movement

Effect, reduce visual clutter and help frame rates late game.

Add ping in Server Browser and ingame option

When joining a game the option to close the connection would be welcome (i've seen a few times 2m, 3m connections and when joined, the wave was over)

Numerical details in this image, including visuals: https://i.imgur.com/vaXmsEh.png

"The Accursed Spirit curses all of your defenses on the ma, de-buffing them and making them more prone to damage until the Spirit is defeated."

Add boosts that NPC can sell, u use it at the start of the wave and it last X waves Loot boost, XP boost, Gold boost, etc

Maintaining (not breaking) Proton support will allow Linux users to play without the need for a dedicated port. Most importantly, any additional anti-cheat measures in the future should not break compatibility. This would go a long way towards establishing CG's reputation.

Have four player rooms in the host tavern where you can store favourite equipment and pets and customise the room with decorations which saves to your profile and loads out every time you join a session or host.

First tower :

Barb Wire - can be extended similar to what EV beams are in DD2 in a straight line only though, since it is a barb wire fence mobs walking through would take physical damage. It would be cool that when a prton beam or electric aura touches it the barb fence adds electric damage on top of the physical damage (would be cool to me at least)

Second Tower :

Claymore - it would be like placing 2 nodes, from dd2 on EV. first one would be the tripwire to trigger the explosive and the claymore could possibly be on a timer so after it's triggered mobs take time to get into the blast radius. for the range it would be like maybe a 75 degree arc (might be too wide i dont know) and range stat would only increase the distance of damage.

Third Tower :

Minigun Turret - im thinking minigun turret (does not target air units), this turret would also take on the property of the heros weapon damage type and heros weapon projectile type. probably cost extra DU for these bonuses because multiple projectiles can be OP.

Fourth Tower :

Rocket Turret - anti air only, AOE blast as well, im thinking maybe instead of rockets it can be a Flak Cannon so it would be a spread of explosions in the air - i think something like this would be awesome in dda since we dont yet have specific anti air only turret/tower/trap/aura.

Abilities:

im not sure about abilities but one ability could be a "repair/replenish" what this would do is act in a similar manner as monks dd1 ability that boosted and healed towers but instead it would heal and replenish auras/traps. of course it would not be instant and done over time and in a radius around the hero. Also the longer this ability would be active the more ability power it would use up depleting it quicker over time. Another addition is to have a secondary cooldown on the ability power spent so it doesnt reset with the main cooldown and therefore make it harder to spam. in invisible timer that gets reset over time.

for boost, the hero would take out a wrench and when you click on a single tower that towers stats get boosted for the duration with a long cooldown. this would increase all 4 tower stats so i wouldnt want this on a small cooldown to prevent it from being OP and abused.

thats my idea for this hero.

Where the game randomly picks what towers you can only use and how much of them

Probably what you think. Just like you can create a music playlist on music apps, you should be able to create a playlist of maps so you don't have to go back to the tavern.

Heavily armored unit with a phalanx type tower shield and a polearm, uses monk polearm's but can only use them as melee.

Left click: Normal melee attack. Right click: Shield bash (Heavy Damage ability scales off of Weapon damage/weapon speed*((F Stat + C stat)/multiplier) EG at 3000 F and 3000 C it does 8x weapon damage. Cool down is 10 seconds with the slowest weapon and 6 seconds with the fastest weapon.

Hero default bonuses: Weapon size of equipped weapon is 60% bigger with 60% more melee range.

Tank: 8/10 Damage 7/10 Speed 5/10

Abilities: F: Sweep: Swings his polearm in a circle knocking enemies back by 4 meters doing moderate damage. (scales off weapon damage/weapon speed*(F stats) EG: at 3000 F stats its weapon damage x 5. Similiar cool down to right click. C: Hunker Down: Drains Mana/s slams his shield into the ground and holds the line: Damage is reduced by (C Stat). Damage is increased for left click and right click by (C stat) and F ability changes to spear thrust which adds the stats of both F and C for damage calculations using F's damage multiplier.

Shouts (AOE Buffs to allies and Debuffs to enemies)

1: Chilling Shout: Lesser enemies freeze in fear for 5 seconds. (Helps Trebuchet's land hit's on lesser enemies and lets the tougher enemies through so the archers can focus them more) 2: Roar of Pride: Increases nearby allies move speed and attack speed. (O man would love to see what Guille could come up with for this.)

Towers (More than 3 would end up being like Squire with only a few good and some never used.) Maybe squire can get some shouts too :P

3: Brazier Archers: Slow firing heavy hitting fiery arrows. (Fast projectile speed) 4 DU 4: Moat of oil: Size of a blockade costs 1 DU and slows enemies by up to 90% while in it's tiny area. (If enemies in the Moat of oil get hit by fire arrows they burn for 3x the Arrow damage over 6 seconds.) 5: Trebuchet: Long range slow firing aoe tower, physical damage. 12 DU Massive AOE otherwise it will miss everything.

• Marked enemy with a kill time limit
• Becomes a random player at end of time if not killed
• Ignores towere and crystal and goes after players

Skittles Event PET from DD1 added to DDA, Would be awesome.

Integrate group invitations into discord so you can click a button and then people in the channel can join!

Physical damage is going to outscale any elemental dps build when survival comes out so it would be nice to have:

Genie: Current Mana every few seconds. 30% to 60% cooldown reduction on abilities based on attack speed of weapon. (slow weapon having the lowest cool down, fast having the highest cooldown.) Hero abilities now scale off of elemental damage instead of physical damage. + X% to 2X% fire damage (fast weapon has the lowest added fire damage while slow weapon has the highest added fire damage.)

Fairy: Current Healing per second once health drops below half. 30% to 60% cooldown reduction on abilities based on attack speed of weapon. (slow weapon having the lowest cool down, fast having the highest cooldown.) Hero abilities now scale off of elemental damage instead of physical damage. + X% to 2X% poison damage (fast weapon has the lowest added fire damage while slow weapon has the highest added fire damage.)

Yellow Ramster in a can: (ramster is generating electricity on a treadmill inside the can) Current: boosts tower attack speed for a bit then 0 attack speed Replace with: HP terns to energy shield and auto recharges after 4 seconds of not being hit and fully regens after 5 seconds. 30% to 60% cooldown reduction on abilities based on attack speed of weapon. (slow weapon having the lowest cool down, fast having the highest cooldown.) Hero abilities now scale off of elemental damage instead of physical damage. + X% to 2X% electric damage (fast weapon has the lowest added fire damage while slow weapon has the highest added fire damage.)

We have so many other creatures on treadmills but not Corgis. They are tired of floating and eating the mana we miss when running around. Give them a way to workout by giving us a Corgi on a Treadmill. Please see this for technical notes.

This is is just to better find the last few Spiders that are on a Crystal or stuck Enemies in a hidden corner somewhere or outside the map

Also an Option to Enable and Disable this would probably a few People appreciate that don't want to use it

Just a Skin for Series EV that changes the Blue Light to RGB which means that it automatticly goes through all Colors of the Rainbow in a Wave ( https://abload.de/img/rgbwave93kbt.gif ) over EV but NOT like Breathing which is only one Color that changes slowly

A hero based on fast melee attack and defense with towers that focus on changing the battle in the heat of the moment by being able to be built fast but lack lasting power aka "glass cannons" but at the sametime the hero himself has abilites which one could potentially boost his stats overall for a certain period of time(draconian empowering) and the other 2 could be a fury slash capable of stunning enemies hit long enough and wings that gust smaller enemies back and slow bigger ones(potentially pushing them off cliffs).

Allow Public/Private/Friends Only while game is on-going.

This allows joining of players after defenses have been built, or disallow player to join if game is started with wrong visibility settings... etc.

In DD1 u can heal auras by being inside or closer to the aura. All the aura it self can be used as a tower to get upgraded or repaired. At this way you don't have to aim to the icons when you have 30000 mobs on you :)

Option to fuse 2 diferent or same tower and make a stronger one In case of 2 diferent tower, the new tower will have the effect of the 2 towers with new calculated dmg and range, depend the tower u used. Two of the same, give u a stronger one

To fuse u need to have both towers full upgrade and a huge mana cost, like 4k ou 5k

The DU cost will be a little lower, if u have 2 fireballs = 10 DU if u build a Fuse fireball = 9

Just a small QoL Improvment for those who don't like to see the Mask cover the whole face or having something on the Head etc :D

So one thing that always bugged me with DD1 and now DDA was that eventually all you ended up doing was farming one or two maps for very specific reasons, IE glitterhelm survival for loot, pure strat for exp. Mines for early game exp ect ect.

I think it would be a killer idea for the game, if you added a random map feature to the game, where you queue up in your tavern, or in the browser and then you basically wait in your tavern until you want to start the game, and in the browser it shows up as a random map group.

When you start you are then tossed into a random map, and no matter what map you get, you are given large bonuses to loot, and exp gained from it. This could be a mode in both pure strat and survival and wave 15 of random does not matter which map it is, you get a new "Random map" pet, with of course wave 25 still dropping the giraffe.

Again the goal here is to make is to taht the game does not devolve into constantly doing the exact same maps for all eternity.

Ban players so they dont keep coming back all the time!!

So you have a Visual Indicator what Filter does is for what search just a QoL improvement for the future :)

Atleast 4 Hero Weapons 4 Accesorries Armor Types Stat Pet, Attack Pet, Buff Pet

I think this should cover most stuff

Give us the option to put notes on our equipment. Such as Squire Walls. Apprentice DST. Simple Notes nothing too long, even if it was 10-25 characters it would cover our ability to manage our inventory better.

Please Make It HAPPEN #RGBSeriesEV

Allow the addition of various flags/tags to an item that will display an icon on the item description and possibly be sortable.
