State of the Game

  Lack of sustainable content, as the OP pointed out, is the major problem for me.
  
  It isn't even hard to come up with ideas for it.
  
  One example of what this game could use is a "survival mode", like Left 4 Dead had, and Borderlands eventually got. Where wave after wave of enemies comes at you, and you are simply trying to last as long as possible. Wave 3 would have a boss, Wave 4 would have a stronger boss, Wave 5 might have 2 bosses, etc. Best times would be saved for each player and shown for all to beat. You can find rarer items as you progress farther, with great items only dropping once the difficulty has gotten crazy (a wave of 3 red tyrants, or whatever).
  
  If you somehow haven't seen this in Left 4 Dead already, here's an example:
  YouTube - Left 4 Dead - Survival Mode Gold Achievement No Mercy Generator Room
  
  And Borderlands (kinda just looks like random enemies, but its more powerful waves each round):
  YouTube - Borderlands PC - Bandit Arena - Final Round - Part 1

  Oh man, that would be so awesome to have something like that. Difficult and probably have a lot of swearing involved, but it'd be fun. It could start off as normal mobs too, then escalate into bosses.

  Left 4 Dead 2 is actually challenging. This game is not, so much, even when solo. left 4 dead 2 is impossible to solo
  
  I don't see survival mode working out

  Yeah I watched a few of them. It seems fairly balanced with the characters that are already in place. I would like to see if Karok can stop us from attacking like he can to bosses.

  
  
  Karok has an extremely large hitbox, like gnoll cheiftain size
  the cat doesn't see how hard it is to poke/hit him

  But they COULD make this game challenging. I honestly think a 6 party team WOULD have trouble with 5 Red Tyrants at once.

  They do add in a boss rush mode for each boat later on I think o_o Perhaps that could be challenging D:

  survival mode sounds awesome..
  makes teamwork so much more crucial in surviving to the higher waves..
  
  maybe like after a certain set of waves ppl are revived.. so it wouldn't be too punishing for less skilled players..
