After 30 hours there is little reason to keep playing

The quests were fine, but the replay value is not there. In the first game the forest, the swamp and the Fiery Forge each felt different, and running them never got old. Here the interconnected world is nice, but the dungeons — the part the game is named for — all look the same. Running them more than once is boring. After about 30 hours I am level 100, weapons are at 150 power, and emeralds are capped at 99,999. Selling gear does nothing. There is no storage chest like in the first game, and 80 items per category is not enough. Level 100 also only gives 100 enchantment points. That is not enough for more than one loadout. A roll build already uses the melee weapon, the ranged weapon, the helmet, the chest, the legs and the boots. A poison, damage or lightning build means disenchanting everything and enchanting the next set. That is not fun. The item information is worse too. There are no combat stats. Effect names and tiers only show in the mini inventory, not in the full one. Clicking an equipped weapon there does not open that weapon. It drops you on the last entry in the category, and you have to scroll to find it just to read the effect names. I know it is unfair to compare the finished first game, DLCs included, with this one, and I hope the two planned DLCs add more. Combat is still fun, but it is no longer a challenge, and a lot of what worked in the first game is simply worse. For me, 30 hours was enough.

  +1 Vote. We need Stats, more storage and uncapped currency.

  It's not unfair to compare Dungeons 2 to the finished product of Dungeons 1, because it is mojang code that they decided to rewrite and throw away, it's not time constraints it's just a bad decision to make something fast from scratch.

  I like the idea of the level cap being 100. You have to incrementally grind end game storms to increase your power level by 1 each time. Let the power level be infinite though.

  My enchantment point system suggestion:

  Infinite max points. You get to the level cap of 100. After 100 when you gain enough experience again needed to go from 99 to 100 you get an additional point. I want to be able to enchant every item in the game to lv 3.

  Effect names and tiers only show in the mini inventory, not in the full one is annoying.
