In the future we should run two boss strikes simultaneously and they will work as follows.

Guild opt in for either casual, or competitive boss strike

Casual boss strike -

  • Not leaderboard eligible
  • Reduced rewards, or standard based on how comp is structured
  • capped at t10, cannot go any further
  • reduced points needed for every tier

Competitive boss strike -

  • leaderboards will be used
  • standard rewards or double for the first 9 tiers depending on how casual is structured
  • no cap on max tier aside from what players can feasibly obtain in given time
  • standard points per tier(no reduction)

I feel this may be an actually good way to solve the current discourse surrounding bs1 scoring.

What about guild opt in for both?

#

Actually I’m not sure how that would work

#

I retract my statement

#

2 different strikes is a good idea on paper but probably not the most efficient, its interesting tho

tropic forum
#

I couldnt see both, but you should be given the opportunity to opt in or out of competitive for every strike

#

out of the 341 guilds in the game above level 5

#

how many of them do you think will get the T10 drop

I personally think boss strikes are fine as is difficulty wise. But outside of that this would only delay the release of boss strikes as they now gotta make 2 boss strikes at once

#

Yeeeeah

#

all they gotta do is change the numbers

-50% rewards

From a data server standpoint, flagging data to go to one set of numbers or another isn't that difficult if it's setup correctly.

I think they’re making their own framework but I really don’t know.

#

Code wise I would guess once BS is in a good place having two is actually much easier to do

#

They use unity

#

So C# and a rust backend afaik

jolly folio
#

i guess the main thing is that only like 50 guilds have more than 70 members

#

that means only 3500ish players are getting T10

#

probably less

#

out of like the 20-30k player count

#

idk 10% for T10 drop

Normal vs Elite BTD6 boss be like:

Not sure why we are only suggesting now bc this is a really good suggestion

My brain has been fried from too much BN, I’ve been at the wimp grind for too long today.

That’s my leader Don with the good ideas

jolly folio

as its own event maybe

#

not replacing bossstrike

wicked sonnet
#

We can do both

#

Both is good

#

i mean world wide boss strike means you dont even need a guild

#

all the different guilds with their tier lists and req mean nothing

yeah

cuz then its like meh

i dont feel like grinding

As a larger guild with a truly comp playerbase and a comp mindset myself it doesnt occur to me to think of the little guys

jolly folio
#

theres 20k other players to fall back on

#

My tiny guild is actively being absorbed by a slightly larger guild struggling to remain somewhat relevant.

I’m actively falling victim to the system 😭

Hey I’m a relatively comp player and I do advocate for the ftp

6 people? Have you heard of the Goodfellas Guild? I'm sure we can bring you in

tropic forum
#

Lol bad

wind thicket
#

Problem with all of this stuff is that if I just get absorbed then I basically cease to be relevant

#

I wanted to try my hand at well, leading a guild, lol

#

I can’t do that if I just get annexed

#

Man is this what my Stellaris Vassals feel like lol

#

I’d hate to hold them all back

wind thicket
#

That’s basically what is being advertised

#

At the very least the current arrangement I’m working towards will have my guild become the eventual sister guild to the one I’m merging with.

#

So I won’t have to abandon it

wicked sonnet
#

Good. That’s a better arrangement for sure

wind thicket
#

Unless you can offer me a better deal I’m not budging lol

#

The only resource I have to barter with is people and I’m not just going to let them go unless they explicitly want to.

wicked sonnet
#

That’s okay. Honestly it’s good to keep your autonomy if that’s what you want

wind thicket
#

Yeah, there are tons of games like BN in that they have a guild/org/clan/whatever system involving a rudimentary leadership structure and I’ve always wanted to try and lead one, just a core part of the cooperative multilayer experience I’ve never really had a chance to try. Unfortunately it is basically impossible to do so after a good while so I like having the opportunity to do so now when the game is still in its “infancy” so to speak.

#

At the end of the day though it’s really just me and 2 people I know + random individuals so who knows maybe the arrangement is doomed to fail. Won’t stop me from trying though.

wicked sonnet
#

Honestly what people ask for from leaders is that they consistently show up for them. Keep that up and you will be able to make your way into circles and rooms you never thought you could

#

Consistency is underrated

wind thicket
#

I haven’t even bothered to make a Discord yet because I didn’t even know if people would stay lol

#

The fact that I still even have members is somewhat bewildering.

wicked sonnet
#

Communication is important for sure. I hope we get an in game message system in the future of some kind

#

At least in a guild

jolly folio
#

I wish I was in a guild with 6 people instead of 400

#

less spreadsheets

wind thicket
#

I have 7 people

#

One of which is my alt
