#Extend the sp boost to last through the entire boss rush

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.

Counterpoint: I do NOT want to spend hours on end at BFC to grind hundreds of 1000s of SP to level ONE unit to R6

west eagle
#

I am yet to have the units ready for AS so I am losing out on that as is

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💀🤡

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

peak pebble
#

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

west eagle
#

Not to forget snake must be min R8

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

peak pebble

#

Well

#

There was a poll

west eagle
#

More people can actually get better use of the rush

peak pebble
#

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

west eagle
peak pebble
#

Okay

#

Well

#

Thats partially on you

shy wren
#

Or did they change it

sand valve
peak pebble
#

Having boss rush before 2x sp was a heavy favorite

sand valve
peak pebble
shy wren
#

To my knowledge they pulled the boss rush before the 2x weekend

peak pebble
#

Wdym

shy wren
#

A whole weekend is still awesome

#

Like it was in reverse at first

peak pebble
#

Yeah

#

There was a poll asking which should go first

shy wren
#

Yeah I voted boss rush

peak pebble
#

Likewise

shy wren
#

Also I just got a second clad

#

So I’m actually balling now?

peak pebble
#

:(

shy wren
#

I literaly have 3 total boss drops now

shy wren
#

So you can’t be mad at me

#

I wouldn’t do that to brio

sand valve
peak pebble
#

XD

#

How many you got someone

shy wren
#

I have easily over like 150 boss kills

peak pebble
#

Unlucki

shy wren
peak pebble
#

I have 13

sand valve
shy wren
#

It isn’t really greedy it’s just them expressing what they want for the game

peak pebble
shy wren
#

Nothing wrong with wanting less grind

#

It’s not like grinds are instant and they want them even faster

sand valve
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
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

shy wren
#

Yeah I’m excited for these events

#

Finishing my tf2 heavies

sand valve
#

And there will be more new events in the future

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

#

Barring a big SP change from Madrona like you said above

west eagle
#

f2p is a problem yes unless you work smart

#

I had played the game before and we have discord now so I spent carefully

regal trench
#

As much as I hate the SP grind, I don't think a week long 3x SP boost followed by a week long 2x SP boost is the right call

west eagle
#

Or doing them in parallel

#

Bosses also drop good SP

regal trench
#

The people voted and the people got what they want

#

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

west eagle
regal trench
#

it was pinned in general for like a couple of days

regal trench
#

Don't get me wrong I'm being shafted by this just the same

west eagle
#

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

regal trench
#

That thing is just useless

west eagle
#

Level 30 is a tricky spot to be in

regal trench
#

Well, not really

west eagle
#

Most units in f2p get decimated

#

fast

regal trench
#

what units are you using

west eagle
#

I knew from OG to get 3 supers

#

Which I pushed to asap

regal trench
#

You spent nanos on supers?

west eagle
#

yes

#

super tanks

regal trench
#

You've wasted nanos pretty much

west eagle
#

Cheap to heal

west eagle
regal trench
#

That makes things better

west eagle

#

I was not here for BS1, so

west eagle
#

Stats are not that different apparently

west eagle
#

Which is why most people trolling me pisses me off

#

The game still needs work and I point it out in places. How long that takes is their call.

#

And I get a "be grateful" crap for it

#

I am waiting for the Boar and Boar 2 eagerly lol

regal trench
#

Talking about FOMO type units isn't something I do, imho, they hurt the game

#

There are some people that do nothing but troll and flame bait yes, I did say you should block them

west eagle
#

I sometimes forget I have gotten older lol

#

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.

This community is legit going to have a civil war over SP

hollow rampart
#

thank you greenmarl for your amazing insight on this discussion

lament mist
#

the fact that he is still in this server and still doing this is proof that this server isn't moderated nearly enough lmao

echo orchid
#

Maybe we should all just remember #⚖-rules 1 and 6 🤷‍♂️

#

Before this "war" goes too far

hollow rampart
#

politics are inevitable in any suggestion channel, therefore we must accelerate this into a war as quickly as possible

#

Hot take but making the sp weekend after boss rush 3x instead of 2x would be nice

#

Them giving us an extra day beforehand makes getting it for just one day is fine tho as 2x sp for a weekend will still help a good amount
