At the moment, the only real challenge to your strength (and only reason to train your stats) is killing other players. Hunting is very easy, as by the time you have a hunting level to face higher-level animals, you will have the stats required to kill them. Clones are also easy to kill.I think an Arena or Battle Royale type challenge would be fun to see how far you can go against increasingly tough NPCs.My proposal is as simple as it sounds, you enter an arena and face harder and harder NPC's each wave, until you can't anymore. The growth shouldn't be exponential, but should increase linearly fast enough that Vlad and I aren't going through hundreds of NPCs.I see two ways of implementing this.1. A permanent arena. Once you kill the next NPC in the arena, you get a large reward, something like a bunch of AP and more gym reps per day. So you are always chasing to beat the next NPC. Got some new gear? Better try the Arena again to see if you can get to the next round.2. A daily rest arena. Every day you go to the arena and can fight your way till you fail. You get regular blood and cash rewards from the NPCs you fight, but since these NPCs will be higher and higher level, it incentivizes you to do arena for some of your turns every day as it would be better than hunting. This implementation version would need some kind of way to skip through early levels, maybe if you have completed a wave, you can skip it, but also the rewards need to be balanced as obviously if there is 500 waves you can do a day and they all give better rewards than hunting/PvP, then this has just killed the game.Let me know what you think. I feel like this kind of idea would fit right into the Vampire Gensis game style.
