For many of us this boost is a way to make the final push to max rank for several units and promotion can take 2 days and bosses like the ancient sentinel demand max rank units.
Besides, killing these bosses grant a lot of sp too which can also be a great bonus through the week. Like I could grind the AC while max ranking my vets and getting my snake strong enough for AS or grind my trebs and super tanks on Ridley Ridge.
Shouldn’t be much of an issue as we have to grind for it regardless.

We are already getting 2x SP likely for a weekend after. The 3x is a courtesy bonus from the devs because they are generous. It is really just super gready to ask for this.

Again thats a you problem? Noone is forcing you to do anything. Yes SP is grindy, can be tough, the devs already have said they are working on a better less repetitive solution. In the meantime we are literally gonna get a 2x SP week before the end of May…
Not to mention it is highly unlikely they would even consider extended the 3x, otherwise whats the point of the double SP to begin with💀🤡

Where in the announcement does it say there is a double SP?
peak pebble
There was a poll, the 2x sp event will be near the end of the month
It was also talked about extensively in different text channels
west eagle
There was no announcement and I don't really have the time to be scouring every channel like it's my job. I read new suggestions (occasionally) and announcements and call it a day.
If that is indeed true, hope that is communicated clearly

The 3x sp boost is just for players that are right on the edge of fighting bosses every day

Although I don’t quite agree with the wording here, I agree with the overall sentiment - the 3x boost is a courtesy

Not true

How SP currenlty works has already been a debate as is in feedbacks
peak pebble
People have done it with r6 and 7
west eagle
I have vets to push to r6, supers stuck at R4 and trebs at R4

That’s why we have a 2x week coming up

That’s why we have a 2x **week** coming up
tbh it would be better before the boss rush

More people can actually get better use of the rush

In general chat where you could have voted - did you?

Or did they change it

Well you had months. And after boss rush you will have 2x sp to catch up.
peak pebble
Having boss rush before 2x sp was a heavy favorite
sand valve
As I said I only read annoucements
Thats on you
peak pebble

It might’ve been, I don’t remember exactly
shy wren
To my knowledge they pulled the boss rush before the 2x weekend

Yeah I voted boss rush

Likewise

Tbf this also falls short because the devs literally ran a poll in general chat
peak pebble

Both can be true at once
shy wren
Nothing wrong with wanting less grind
It’s not like grinds are instant and they want them even faster
sand valve
Tbf this also falls short because the devs literally ran a poll in general chat
Thing is whats objectively wrong with this suggestion is the fact that WE ARE getting a 2x SP event and the devs have kindly given us 3x for a day out of courtesy… so to ask for more is simply greedy and in bad faith.
peak pebble
Listen, if the 2x boost wasn’t coming in the near future, I’d be happy with this
But its comments like this
sand valve
And ontop of that they are asking for a WEEK.
peak pebble
As I said I only read annoucements
Combined with this
shy wren
Yeah I don’t really agree with it because I think it takes the “excitement” out of 3x SP
peak pebble
Should the poll have had some better visibility? Sure, but you can’t say the devs didn’t take general community feedback
shy wren
But as the devs have stated before, the SP grind for many things in this game is atrocious, and this would be a bandaid solution
Though they have also stated they don’t want mindless grinding to be the main point
peak pebble
Right now, I’d just say be happy with what we’ve got, these two events as far as I care are massive Ws from the devs
shy wren
More than likely that’s why they don’t make it longer
peak pebble
There was also 2x sp during shrow BS by the way

It was reposted SEVERAL times, every big guild had an announcement about it. They reached a relatively large amount of the playerbase. Should there have been ig announcement? Or newsletter? Yes. - but I am sure the devs are planning to do better

Like I said, it’s a nitpick at best

AS needs a lot of R6 units so the extension is fair

Block them
The 3x SP boost we're getting is the devs at least letting people who wanted the SP boost before the boss rush get something out of it
The devs are working on proper longer term fixes for the SP issue other than "just increase sp rates", so anything that we get until then is an extra that we might have never had, until the proper fix.
So I guess take what you can get; and you can pass judgement on Madrona's actual implementation when it gets released.
The AS' requirements are just absurd and require whaling, pre-planning from level 1 for f2p nanos, and a stupid amount of time clicking 2 buttons at BFC for hours on end
Even then, if you didn't get snakes from BS1, you've got even more problems
shy wren
Yeah I’m glad fences and pfts are in the game now
But it’s still probably months before any F2P reasonably gets those online

Ideally doing a boost and then the rush makes more sense imo
Or doing them in parallel
Bosses also drop good SP

The 1 day 3x sp boost is to help the people who lost the vote

Bad luck for me then I guess lol
I never even got a ping
I think adding something like tapjoy for nanos and removing nano costs for Med Tank and the Machine gun research could be a good starting point for f2p
They did mention the med tank thin and machine gun attack is not even that fancy and endgame tanks have it for free as is
regal trench
Med tank and MG research would be a very specific change with ultimately no effect on the f2p experience
you wouldn't make a med tank even if it's cost was between hvy tank and light tank

You've wasted nanos pretty much

Cheap to heal

You've wasted nanos pretty much
Megas were not out and a lot of folks use supers instead of Megas in the BS for cheap healing

Honestly, I feel like this is a bad idea because it incentivizes people to grind the entire week, me included.
Something like a bigger multiplier over a shorter amount of days would be better if the intent is to buff SP gain, or a reduction of training timers for the one 3x day.
Or just make the SP boosted from the bosses themselves if that's the concern.
