At first I thought a never ending challenge series would be a disaster. But after seeing what Ray put in place I have to say it seems really good.
First I like the move to percentages because it reduces the drive to get carries under the old system. They are still useful, but they no longer make up over half your damage for certain level ranges. This was another big worry of mine with an unending challenge because people would constantly be pushing for those milestones. It's solo right now so that doesn't matter anyway, but even if it becomes a duo or group thing it won't be an issue because it's a bunch of small percentages. People will still get carried but there isn't a big difference between getting that carry today or tomorrow, or even net week. If it's delayed the carry will just get you further anyway.
Second I agree with the move of removing any one time diamond or resource bonus from the unending challenge. This means it's all about getting a damage boost, not about the other rewards. I of course want those rewards to stay for the original challenges, and I'd love to see more challenges like them with those rewards. I don't like the idea of such challenges that provide more than a damage boost where only a handful of people can actually beat them.
