i think this would be a really interesting gamemode. while still being multiplayer, there is no risk of being eliminated by another player.
also could be used as a way to introduce coins/in-game currency.

values could be adjusted, but i guess bosses will reset every 24 hours and everyone tries to send x amount of lines to the boss.

i like the idea, might be a nice way for new players to start as they wont be ko'd by some tryhard anon in qp

heavy meteor
#

i agree, it's a good concept for an alternate qp for newer players

#

still it shouldn't be something that's one-way thing, like getting cheese based on how well you were playing (probably based on vs score?)

#

so that it isn't just a copy of zen mode

gleaming oyster
#

Or maybe get backfire 0.5x maybe

Angry dorito

heavy meteor
#

im a big fan of angry dorito

steady bloom
#

someone come up with more boss ides

#

there should also be a super boss at the end of the year that needs like 500k lines idk (over the duration of a day)

i mean TE:C's solution was just severely limiting the queue (to 1)

#

yeah lol there'd definitely have to be more to the system

near cloak
#

Likewise I said: garbage based on vs score

opal vessel
#

yeah but this'd just fucking kill anyone under rankA lol

#

i don't think it's the kind of issue you can solve with established mechanics

#

you know the pc theorists would find that cutoff and somehow still send more than those striding quads

#

i mean this kind of goes against all the ideals of the character system lol

#

can't screenwatch an automated opponent who has no field in the same way you can affect live players with well timed disruptions

#

yeah the suggestion as is sounds a lot more like elite dangerous's community goals (E.G. "deliver 2 million tonnes of Iron to The Station to get New Weapon") than a mode you can play and beat within 10 or so minutes lol

#

which, quite frankly, i don't think people are looking for a steam sale gimmick game in tetr.io's future of potential boss battles? kogori

#

well that power comes from more single player variety i think

#

naahhhhhhhh i don't like this

#

boss battles can and should be much more involved

#

like as-is, you might as well just be playing zen mode with some mates in discord VC and using the cheese options every couple of minutes to push your board up to row 17

#

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm this is really just all TE ideas woomy

#

well i much prefer TE's weekly rituals then

#

still interested to see how spirit drop does their boss battles but that's probably years away at this point

royal pier
#

ok wtf this blew up

#

i will try to make more concept pictures

#

cause obviously the original picture does not work for actual players

royal pier
#

could use new features from charsys

#

i was thinking of something of this scale

#

although of course, damage based

brave crater
#

I feel like for bosses to be more involved, we're gonna have to either solve #1020070451839508572 or make someone the boss, and you'd have to work out rates of damage (when I first thought of this idea as "Juggernaut" the incoming attacks for the boss were slashed into quarters, which doesn't account great for remainders)

The Connected mode was basically a boss battle type of thing. IMO it worked better than the skill battle in PPT2

royal pier
#

well, bosses dont have to have a board

royal pier
#

no need for bots

brave crater
#

Even going the """lazy way""" and making TETR.IO-specific AI to simulate gameplay the way PPT and PPT2 does for their AI is more engaging than just... attacking a PNG

#

That's one of the things that turns me off about Nuketris boss mode

#

There's some clever attacking patterns to it, I'll admit, but it's just so mundane lol

#

I can literally just 6-3/LST stride and not give a shit about what the boss does and call it a day

high valley
#

i love attacking pngs

dusk obsidian
#

boss farms for currency in the ui update

proud iron
#

the kid named opener mains

#

this would be realy cool though

#

Not only a "boss mode"

#

forgot the name but there should also be a gamemode where

#

boss mode but theres an actual player

#

in the middle

#

like 1v15

#

but the players attack is doubled and they have certain abilities

#

nice

#

You're either thinking of Connected VS, or just Tank/Juggernaut

#

Not a lot of iterations of it in other games that I've playead myself

don't add coins

some could even have special effects otherwise impossible with tetr.io plus right now

brave crater
#

Not to mention that if you want skins that badly and gun for T.IO+, that voids any and all problems you have in terms of bug reporting to TETR.IO

#

I mean, this exists

or what if you can also purchase stuff like banners

near cloak
#

no ingame purchase please 😭😭😭

waxen crystal
#

i take it that's a third party mod of some sort

waxen crystal

#

ingame purchases do the same thing as supporter (already existing)

waxen crystal
#

thats the point i was making

#

"no ingame purchases" "they already exist"

near cloak
#

yeah but that's some kind of patron thing so it's kinda different ?? (idk how to explain this)

nova lodge
#

I like the idea of a “drop in and play for a little” kind of thing - like a chill, non-competitive QP lobby that never ends. Just show up, do some moves and chat a little with others

I don't think osk is a fan of microtransactions. He sticks by the Free-to-Win tag, having been inspired by osu!'s model.

Now, that being said, in-game currency and being able to use that for skins is an entirely different story. You can just play the game passively and generate coins (or lock it to boss mode if you're so cruel) until you have enough coins to buy a new skin. You know who already does that? Tetris 99. What does it cost you? Time. That's it.

To an extent, I'm also anti-microtransactions, but this is a very reasonable ask knowing other games (of varying genres too) already have an in-game currency system that doesn't need microtransactions to keep its playerbase happy.

#

I also want to highlight the importance of hiding extra skins behind in-game currency (or microtransactions) vs hiding tuning options behind in-game currency (or microtransactions) — those are two wildly different functions, one much more important than the other. Looking at you, TB/TF and TOJ/TOP/TOW.

Just make it quickplay but everyone is targeting a rank X trolley

royal pier
#

no

#

im suggesting this as a no-pressure game mode

#

as rank x i do not want to be targeted more than i already am

dapper slate
#

it was clearly a joke 🗿

royal pier
#

in feature request mhm

brave crater
#

Hmm, I feel like osk's aim for that specifically is more TGM3 Sakura than it is Boss mode, but that's a potential basis? Using mystery mode?

#

That still sounds super SP-esque and doesn't feel right to me, at least in terms of making it a "multiplayer" gamemode

#

Perhaps I'm being way too 1-dimensional with my PPT2 Boss Mode and TE:C Connected background, though I've already stated earlier in this thread how I'm not a fan of attacking PNGs that are there as a "visual to attack"

#

No worries ^^;

opal vessel
#

he was talking about how someone might go about unlocking skins completely deattached from boss battles

brave crater
#

Missed the reply tag, literacy 100

#

Sakura mode ver TETR.IO doesn't sound like a bad idea though :>

#

Anyways I've derailed this thread like four times oops lol

pearl wing
#

i still kinda like that idea for unlocking skins

waxen crystal
#

Whenever you pay money for anything in a game, you're supporting the developer

#

That said it's pretty clear he wants to keep it limited to the sorts of things it already does
