Booster levels affect bosses

[tepid prism]

This shouldn't be the case. It makes the game even more unbalanced than it already is, rewarding Whales who boost their levels. It makes no sense because boosters are a different category compared to bosses. I don't know since when this is the case, perhaps from the beginning just that no one noticed it before and only just now. This screenshots were taken by @ember jolt

I'm not sure if normal creeps get affected as well, I have conflicting reports about it

If so this is even worse than I expected 💀

[wild citrus]

This is bullshit

[toxic bloom]

If this is intentional it’s one of the worst ideas in the history of ideas ngl

[simple plume]

Devs, eradicate this bullshittery please 😭

[simple plume]

are you sure it isn't card passives?

[naive umbra]

Mine was the one with higher hp and this was the deck I am running, nothing that boosts creep's health as far as I am aware

[toxic bloom]

Opponent using beresad?

[simple plume]

you can see ashbite

[toxic bloom]

Or royal archers?

[toxic bloom]

It’s exactly 2% less

Which is the same as by how much royal archers would decrease

[naive umbra]

I don't have royal archers in my deck, mine was the higher hp 😅

[toxic bloom]

Yes question is whether your opponent had

Bc then his creep hp would be reduced compared to yours

[naive umbra]

I can double check in another match, have a hard time remembering his cards other than ashbite and dwaarp

[toxic bloom]

Kk, Ty

[naive umbra]

Just having the card but not placing it gives you the buff?

[small wigeon]

Yes, no need to place

[tepid prism]

Yea seems like the passive from Royal Archers affects that

Only passive that decreases enemy HP

Aside from that, it seems nothing else can affect that

At least I hope

[void hare]

HP inflation moment

at 2030 we will have a one million hp boss

[tepid prism]

So are we gonna get a dev response to this?

[wild citrus]

Where's Chori when we need him

[tepid prism]

@fading thunder

[wild citrus]

CHORI I NEED YOU

I NEED YOU CHORI

[wild citrus]

Big moves

[tepid prism]

Only way we initiate smth

Otherwise it's a ghost town for weeks

and months

[wild citrus]

Well yes

But not alwyas

But it's not a good idea to just hope that someone shows up

[tepid prism]

No, but yes, but no type shit

[wild citrus]

Eee

What

[tepid prism]

yes, no, yes, no etc..

Anyways let's stop flooding this chat pls

[wild citrus]

I still don't get you but sure let's leave

[tepid prism]

You don't get a lot of things lol

[wild citrus]

Yes I do

[fading thunder]

thnks for the ping, I will send this to the team 💪

[simple plume]

I find it funny how the possible cause of this is the fact that bosses used to be booster choices

[fading thunder]

Or maybe a perk of a card, that broke... really idk tbh, we will investigate this.

[granite marten]

will look into it, but i have a feeling it might be related to perks and not booster level

for example, first screenshot with Ulguk-Hai, if it was booster level, it'd affect both HP and DMG

[granite marten]

if anyone finds another case of this, it would be really helpful to get a screenshot that also shows both player's cards to check if any card perks are causing it

as said in the thread, the trickster case would match the royal archer perk debuff, but the ulguk-hai one seems to be 11%, and I can't find any combinations that reach that number

[simple plume]

weird

[tepid prism]

Interesting

[ember jolt]

Hey everyone. Here's a more detailed example, with full screenshots. The first screenshot shows the opponent's boss's stats. The second screenshot is mine. The deck included Beresad. But his passive ability can't make that much of a difference.

[rigid spear]

Here are some of my recent screenshots. Boss hp is often generated randomly and doesn't depend on the decks.

[small wigeon]

There may be a bug on beresad's passive on bosses?

[toxic bloom]

It’s actually insane how big the difference is

[lofty parrot]

no it is clearly a normal passive ability of the Royal Archer's perk!

[lofty parrot]

it is clearly the perk of royal archer that decreases the Boss hp. i don t see any bug in this case

[simple plume]

the numbers don't add up

[simple plume]

this one is the royal archer

the other

is a full 11% hp decrease

and literally no other card does that

[tepid prism]

lol it's not only that

[wise timber]

👀

i might have an answer

but i prefer game designers to check it first

[small wigeon]

Hey, an idea is an idea, you can just say that we should take it with a grain of salt

[wise timber]

bosses are stronger each life one player loses

that's a feature, and that's what you might be facing here

[tepid prism]

That's a feature? 💀

What were they thinking?

At the very least it should be mentioned somewhere, but it isn't

Only way you notice is if you're really dedicated into looking small details

[ember jolt]

[rigid spear]

I have a couple more screenshots

there were no life loses here until the sixth wave, but the bosses' HP is different

[wise timber]

if you do better during the match, you have an advantage in the boss fight, so standing at any cost just to kill the boss sooner is not an strat

[wise timber]

ok, this is not the lives case tho

[tepid prism]

Eh I don't like that design personally, but I understand the thinking behind it, again why not make it clear that this is a feature, 99% of playerbase doesn't know about this

And for us 1% that found out, we though it was a game breaking bug

[wise timber]

making it invisible was not a decision but instead something that might slipped through the sea of tasks

but the feature itself is a decision we made after seeing this strat of standing at any cost to kill the boss by the end, not good gameplay also unfair for the player doing a better match

[wise timber]

did you saw the opponent's boss HP here?

[tepid prism]

Yea I would honestly prioritise more fairness rather than unbalanced game changing features that reward high level players even more vs weak players

but that's just me

I get it, you want faster matches, but the cost is not even ground

[rigid spear]

the first screenshot is mine, the second is my opponent's (bot)

[wise timber]

will check with the team

[wise timber]

@granite marten @fading thunder any insights on this specific case?

[small wigeon]

Probably changed mid wave when player life dropped?

[tepid prism]

did it?

Still 20k HP difference, that's nuts

Every little HP matters

[rigid spear]

the score became 3-0 after my boss was killed, before that, it was tied

[small wigeon]

I mean, maybe the hp increase/reduction happened mid wave 6, when he lost lives

[wise timber]

if that's the case, i don't think that's expected
