#

how is it working

sharp condor
#

why sprint for 35 pieces

tight harbor
#

skull

spring minnow
#

sure but then the issue is other things

tight harbor
#

it creates lotta issues

charred walrus
#

encourages strider gameplay

tired flame
sharp condor
#

huh

#

no i'm saying like

fresh ermine
sharp condor
#

why make it so taht's better

sharp condor
fresh ermine
#

you can still see your queue and accomodate your board acordingly

charred walrus
#

u just like stack. for the first couple of bags

#

and its literally all speedbased

tight harbor
#

speed limit in first 5 bags when tf

fresh ermine
#

replied to the wrong message oop

spring minnow
#

rng freestyle just loses out to speed

fresh ermine
#

I don't see how someone going fast in 7+x is different from someone going fast in 7 bag

tight harbor
#

why ppl have higher midgame apm than opener apm now

#

sorry I meant apm

#

brainfart

wise storm
#

cause rounds aren't being decided in the first 20 seconds now and players actually have to play midgame

tight harbor
#

because of rng

#

and no bag counting

fresh ermine
#

it's just harder

tight harbor
fresh ermine
#

you would loose the exact same way to a speedy opener guy

tight harbor
#

no?

fresh ermine
#

how so

tight harbor
#

how common is it to get 2pps gapped in opener phase

#

1pps gap is easily survivable

fresh ermine
tight harbor
#

but yep that's not really the problem

fresh ermine
#

you can't defend with an opener so you sre required to think more

tight harbor
#

the problem is that

open lion
#

were they always rng or no?

tight harbor
#

there are less varieties now

mental storm
tight harbor
#

and the midgame is very dull until like 2min marks

fresh ermine
tight harbor
#

because of garbage flow

open lion
#

nvm

tight harbor
#

so like no real risk until someone get to high b2b

#

not much counterspike and stuffs

fresh ermine
#

is the job of the player to create those spikes or counterspikes

tight harbor
#

have you tried it?

#

I think it's easier to notice when you play

fresh ermine
#

I have played quite a few tl games and custom games

tight harbor
#

the game only gets to how it is like in 7bag at like 2min marks

#

before that it is kinda dull

fresh ermine
#

i genuinely don't understand how it would feel that different for you

tight harbor
fresh ermine
#

but that's just because we are no used to it

#

we need to also have in mind that our experienced differ because of our playstyles and rank

tight harbor
#

true

sharp condor
#

i share nuru's opinion

fresh ermine
#

I gtg but for the record, I'm in favor of 7+x or similar modifications

buoyant drum
#

man if there's going to be a public poll about whether to keep 7+x or not it has to be at least a week long and seasonal evil

open lion
#

idk nuru opinion

barren lava
#

i like 7+x

open lion
#

kirby

barren lava
#

no opener pressure with no passthrough to counter it

obtuse flicker
#

As an opener main, i think this is a very interesting idea that should probably be tested and explored

barren lava
#

what rank r u

obtuse flicker
#

I don't think it'll solve the opener main problem since tki will still be doable, but its an interesting start

obtuse flicker
barren lava
#

tki is fine

#

it doesnt play with multiplier

obtuse flicker
#

Having this as a seperate queue would probably be the best way to implement this

barren lava
#

theres not enough players to split queue

obtuse flicker
#

Someone will inevitably find a way to pco with 7+x bag though

obtuse flicker
open lion
#

the only thing this solves is stats because we dont die without sending a single thing

obtuse flicker
#

If this does get implemented im immediately dropping to B+ or something

fossil charm
#

omg did he call me slurs again

tired flame
buoyant drum
#

what if the garbage delay was longer on round start? then decayed as the round went on

tired flame
#

someone did pco on me in 2 rounds in a set

#

and almost pulled it off a few times

buoyant drum
#

or it started like how garbage works in qp then went insta like regular

tired flame
buoyant drum
#

yeah no this would buff plonks as well

severe spindle
#

It definitely buffed 4w

#

Pc i think u can freestyle them pretty easily as well

sage plume
#

Increasing garbage delay would basically be 5 pps pc looping with basically no way to cancel unless you matched the speed and efficiency

mystic yoke
#

yup

sharp condor
#

also pretty sure these changes are targeted towards lower ranks

barren lava
#

7+x or the garbage ones

sharp condor
#

well both right

#

well 7+x

#

garbage delay doesn't really affect erranks that much

#

which would defeat the idea

barren lava
#

itll only be a matter of time until new openers develop that use 7+x

sharp condor
#

i will believe that whne i see one

#

there is over a million first bag combinations now so i think it will be very diffuclt

barren lava
#

o

#

ok i said that without knowing how exactly the math works out

primal gale
#

he's past that

#

he matured as a person

barren lava
#

how many more bag combinations does this give over regular 7bag?

#

or whats the math

fossil forum
tired flame
#

i doubt any openers like how it is currently will exist

sharp condor
#

5040 currently

#

over a million now

barren lava
#

oh zamn

#

well

#

hmmm

buoyant drum
#

is this explanation sufficient? i heard some other explanations though

tired flame
primal gale
# barren lava how many more bag combinations does this give over regular 7bag?

7! * 7! * 7! * 7! for the 4 bags
* 7! for the extra pieces (/3! /2! because the order of the extra pieces within each bag doesn't matter)
* (10 choose 3) for where the extra pieces go bag 1
* (9 choose 2) * 8 * 8 for the other bags

/ 2⁷ because each extra piece can be interchanged with the regular piece in that bag without affecting the actual queue, so this corrects for doublecounting

barren lava
#

i think the explanation ingame is fine

buoyant drum
#

is it appended to the first few bags or mixed with them?

barren lava
#

technical stuff can be found from the wikis or community

pseudo heron
#

the in-game explanation conveys it effectively without digging into the technical details, so it's great

#

it's mixed

buoyant drum
#

patch notes has it as well:

pseudo heron
#

the fact that they're mixed makes the calculations harder

barren lava
primal gale
#

increasing the combinations by a factor of 180

pseudo heron
#

what's the number of possibilities for each individual bag?

still mica
#

so first 4 bags has extras then next no extra?

pseudo heron
#

correct

still mica
#

thx

pseudo heron
#

the extras count goes 3, 2, 1, 1

barren lava
mystic yoke
#

I saw someone make most of an MS2 opener vs me a couple times

primal gale
pseudo heron
#

wow!

sharp condor
#

sorry for short responses, i'm in game

#

but my intuition tells me memorised td openers are almost impossible too

mystic yoke
#

I wonder what SS and lower opinions are on these settings

primal gale
#

second bag is 7! * (4 choose 2) * (9 choose 2) / 2² or 272160 options per first bag

sharp condor
#

lol ironic as fuck

#

my opponent cspinned me right after i sent that

primal gale
#

after that third bag is 7! * 2 * 8 / 2 = 40320 options per valid first and second bag

oak coral
#

I just saw this
I'm probably gonna lose 300 tr next time I play tl
Fire_Morning

sharp condor
#

i'll send aphot later

primal gale
#

and the last one "only" has 7! * 8 / 2 = 20160 options

sharp condor

#

we are winning

barren lava
#

hop on tetrinet 2

#

the better game

primal gale
barren lava
primal gale
#

the per-bag calculations are correct and they do in fact multiply to that 585 quintillion number

#

still a factor of 180 is a HUGE increase for the first 5 bags

pseudo heron
buoyant drum
#

how does this compare against something like chess, in combinations

#

i understand that chess isn't rng

#

but still

vast matrix
#

opening with this is a power move

primal gale
#

wait....

shit

maybe the 7 sextillion was correct after all

primal gale
pseudo heron
#

let's say that my first bag amounts to this:

normal:  _ S T O _ Z _ I L J
extra:   O S Z

wouldn't this alone have six combinations?

primal gale
#

you can justify one of them being choose 3 no matter which one you pick but that forces the other to be factorial

#

good catch

#

that gives...
15,876,000 for bag one
544,320 for bag two
40,320 for bag three
20,160 for bag four

and over 7 sextillion overall (2160 * 5040⁵ to be precise)

pseudo heron
#

that's amazing

primal gale
pseudo heron
#

lol that's such a mood

yea i think so

#

justhope the next 2 pieces aren't TT

atomic gorge
#

yea lmao

#

i still think t replacement is garbage and needs to be fixed

sharp condor
#

were you saying to do like

#

7+3, 7+2, 7+1, and just kill the extra T piece?

rare crystal
#

when does this end time wise today (probably been asked)

atomic gorge
#

every 7 pieces SHOULD have a t piece

sharp condor
#

hmm

open lion

where is poll

buoyant drum

what poll

open lion

theres only a mucho poll

Welp we've almost hit 9x the original message count of this thread pre-7+x

open lion
#

what fav type of pringle

buoyant drum
#

they don't sell pringles in my country, so none :(

open lion
#

:(

unreal sky
#

im a fan of the new 7+x changes and i would like it if they were implemented permanently in some form
obviously there's still some problems, but maybe you could make like a filtered version of the possible bags to solve that?

honest oriole
#

what about no extra t piece in the first bag perhaps?

sharp condor
#

my thinking was you have 7! combinations for the first 7bag

#

and then you select 3 pieces for the X, which is 7 * 6 * 5

#

and then you can insert the first piece in 7 positions, you can insert the second piece in 8 positions, and you can insert the third piece in 9 positions, so you do 7 * 8 * 9

#

and then finally you remove duplicates so you divide by 2 ,3 times

#

and you end up with 7! * 7 * 6 * 5 * 7 * 8 * 9 / 2 / 2 / 2 = 66679200

primal gale
#

before the first piece, and after each of the pieces

warm galleon
#

Just chiming in my opinion, I think the 7+x change in TL is fantastic and I would like to see it become a permanent fixture

maho failure

sharp condor
#

take ZSIOLTJ and insert a z piece

slow nimbus
#

i think 7+x bag is good and watching people be mad over their own inability to adapt to the change is even better

primal gale
sharp condor
#

no

#

consider like

#

ZSIOLTJz and zSIOLTJZ

#

that's what the dividing by 2 is for

#

you're talking about ZzSIOLTJ and zZSIOLTJ

#

so you're removing this redundancy twice

primal gale
#

yeah and what's the difference between that and zZSIOLTJ/ZzSIOLTJ

#

that's not removing the redundancy twice

buoyant drum
#

this is the edge case though what if you had something in the middle, you're always going to have a duplicate right?

primal gale
#

because zZSIOLTJ is one way and ZzSIOLTJ is the other, just as ZSIOLTJz and zSIOLTJZ make a pair

rare crystal
#

goodbye my beloved 7+X bag

#

i won against a U rank because of you

sharp condor
#

ok i'll make a thread

#

nvm i can't lol

#

aABCD, AaBCD, ABaCD, ABCaD, ABCDa
aBACD, aBACD, aBACD, aBACD, aBACD
aBCAD, BaCAD, BCaAD, BCAaD, BCADa
aBCDA, BaCDA, BCaDA, BCDaA, BCDAa

#

suppose we have a 4bag of ABCD

#

and we insert anotehr A piece in

mental storm
#

actually guys i think we should keep this ruleset

sharp condor
#

ABaCD is identical to aBACD

#

huh

#

you divide by 2, 3 times

#

/2 /2 /2

#

for the 3 duplicate pieces

bold citrus
#

people still doing combinatorics in here

#

are they doing it right tho

#

aggg, no one pinned the most precise explanation by o sk

#

720 * 7

sharp condor
#

66 million

bold citrus
#

4140?

sharp condor
#

7! is 5040

bold citrus
#

5040 oof

#

Do asm

sharp condor
#

but then that would still make my answer larger

#

7! * 7 * 6 * 5 * 8 * 9 * 10 / 2 / 2 / 2 = 95256000

This one

that's the 15,876,000 I got

:thmubup:

sharp condor
#

hmm

#

where did i go wrong

pseudo heron
#

ABaCD and aBACD, however, are identical because a and A are the same pieces

#

oops, wrong message

#

I quoted the wrong thing or I misread it

#

okay, I definitely misread it

#

whoops!

#

sorry lol

#

I have a tendency to misread things like that

hybrid pine
sharp condor
#

hmm ok

#

i think i know where i made a mistake, incorrect insertion of pieces

open lion
#

what is that code

#

i dont understand

#

:(

#

ok

hybrid pine
#

I'm being stupid. All I needed was that second L to spawn in the bag so it's actually like 1 in 7 on paper I guess

#

God now I want to see a 7+x bag tournament

pseudo heron
#

bag 1

7! * (7 C 3) * (10 P 3)
-----------------------
          2^3

7! ::: number of regular bag outcomes
7 choose 3 ::: ways to pick pieces from the extra bag (order does not matter)
10 permutation 3 ::: ways to insert the pieces into the current bag (order matters)
2^3 ::: avoid double-counting the three extra pieces

#

alternatively, you can do (7 P 3) with (10 C 3); the order only matters in one place

#

just explaining the "why" behind the math 😛

open lion
#

if i get lucky enough can i stickspin pc

sharp condor
#

ah

#

thanks

open lion
#

idk who is insane enough to calculate this

#

idk

#

i've never done this

#

i still wouldnt cause its temporary

winged tartan
#

to be honest, this being the subject of discussion again* when it should evidently have a straightforward answer is an indication of insanity

#

this is irrelevant to the thread random

open lion
#

its temporary anyways at least for now

winged tartan
#

veryfeistypanko osk should KILL everyone who uses opener

open lion

everyone would be 💀

open lion
#

#

huh...?

fossil charm

cuz people keep asking how many possible permutations there are

open lion
#

see darkportal is gonna disappear tmrw

?

#

am i just stupid?

it'll be okay

tetris has some adaptation to it

open lion
#

idk if ppl will play 7x after its removed

wild geyser
#

i feel like this kinda removes some aspect of skill in the game

honest oriole
#

honestly starting with ss or zz isnt even that bad

#

you can just tuck into each other

wild geyser
#

i get it with people disliking sdpc and pc loops

#

but tki is also really hard to do anymore

#

which is skill based

rare crystal
#

is it getting reverted

honest oriole
rare crystal
#

i've been checking the environment

wild geyser
#

6-3 is more difficult to start

rare crystal
#

and like

dusk forge
#

Why did they even implemented it in ranked and not quickplay just like april fools thing....

rare crystal
#

it's still there

wild geyser
#

itll be gone

winged tartan
#

yeah quickplay is useless for defining this

open lion
#

i agre

dusk forge
#

Or make a 2nd ranked lobby to test thing?

winged tartan
#

and it was tried in quick play, ironically i remember people not really noticing

dusk forge
#

Like it affect the tr rank

wild geyser
#

yea

open lion
#

i just think there should've been a warning and it would've been ok

wild geyser
#

i dont like it in tl

#

As someone who plays tl basiclaly everyday day

open lion
#

i climbed back to X

sharp condor
winged tartan
wild geyser
#

its something weird

winged tartan
sharp condor
#

was that always there

cursive sierra
#

damn the 4widers are back

sharp condor
#

oh lol wtf

open lion
#

i just mean like 2 seconds after

honest oriole
#

after a bit

winged tartan
#

and if you think the 30 minutes or so this wasn't there was AWFUL, ok then

#

but now is now, and the warning is there so random

sharp condor
#

so no then zz

wild geyser
open lion
#

well not that bad bassically everyone with didscord knew

wild geyser
#

i just skimmed over it lol

sharp condor
#

yea i have friends who just didn't see it

wild geyser
#

or make i a pop up notif

honest oriole
#

how do you not see it tho

wild geyser
#

yea i didnt see it

chilly robin
#

That’s on you ngl

wild geyser
open lion
#

i seee hugeeeee gap

its very visible

it's definitely been there for at least 10 hours

i overhang

#

and spin i under

sharp condor
#

ye

#

ok next queue is TT

winged tartan
#

i was still a little late to only begrudgingly posting that message

charred walrus
#

t overhang

sharp condor
#

waste T 😭

#

tell that to someone who loses their rank up game like that

wild geyser
#

i feel like tl should just be kept normal

sharp condor
#

"just a game" is a silly mentality

winged tartan
#

it's also immediately noticable, you'll lose one game at most and as osk always says

open lion
#

do u have to code the msg in or can u drag and drop a text bubble

winged tartan
#

wat

open lion
#

code warning into the game

winged tartan
#

it's html, people don't like it when you call that code random

vast matrix
open lion
#

oh

vast matrix

not complaining bc i already knew

but it's not visible for me unless i scroll down lmfao

primal gale

has the same effect as using an Adblock on browser

open lion
#

?

well i didnt know about toggling ads i just wanted to prove that it's possible for the warning to not be visible 😭

primal gale
#

again, you'll play one game, realize stuff is weird, and quit if you don't like it

#

heck I'm one of the biggest opener mains out there, I'm basically a joke for how opener reliant I am, and I still played it

chilly robin
#

Make it flashing

mmm yes pco

bold citrus
#

you hover the queue button and colors invert, light theme highlighting the warning

honest oriole
#

i think it would be funny to hit X with 7+X but i also kinda want to earn it

slender torrent
#

@winged tartan if you guys actually threw this thing on tl im openning a better alternative

dusk forge
#

Make a 2nd rank for this thing .....

winged tartan
#

are you threatening me with a competing tetris video game because i am not the person to threaten with this sort of thing

Is all i can say if you want to add this thing

I understood half of it

honest oriole

i cant read that sentence

there, deciphered

winged tartan
#

what's happening is more shitposting kogori

cursive sierra
#

Messing with board bags is too chaotic

bold citrus
#

just 2 next pieces

cursive sierra
#

I think doing the 1/2/4 preview for the first 3 bags would solves quite a bit of problems

long palm
#

how would that be implement with people going... fast?

#

like visually

bold citrus
#

first piece pentomino, then rest is normal 7-bag

cursive sierra
#

I dont think speed is the problem?

hardy beacon
#

fast play is naturally unfair

#

like openers that are possible for all players

cursive sierra
#

Tetrio isnt as speed reliant as other games

hardy beacon
#

its cyber bullying

#

to go fast and win

cursive sierra
#

Even though it’s unlimited tuning

hardy beacon
#

same as opener

slender torrent
cursive sierra
#

Tec and jstris are speed reliant

winged tartan
#

no

sharp condor
#

🤔

quick sapphire
#

I think realistically changing the bag system from 7 bag to 7 ( something something ) is a good start to spice up tetrio and create a competitive format that isn't generally used in "stacker" games.

I absolutely welcome the idea. It doesn't even need to be 7-X.

it def is

isnt like literally the main appeal of tetrio over the others are uncapped speed

sharp condor
#

i feel like speed has way more impact in tetrio compared to tec

long palm
#

yeah

sharp condor
#

idk about main appeal

cursive sierra
#

Remember the Tetris friend with the koreans

sharp condor
#

but it's a main appeal

cursive sierra
#

There’s a reason why it’s a meme

#

That’s speed

sharp condor
#

tetrio has like the highest pps gaming

charred walrus

If anything 7+x buffed speed

#

If its to add 7+x when buffing 4widing

hardy beacon
#

they need to also force the opp to hold when a player holds like mutal hold

#

its only fair

long palm
#

mutual hold would be an awful idea

charred walrus
sharp condor
#

ok if you mean that big of a speed gap

#

but also you're an outlier in tetrio 😭

cursive sierra
#

Flat stacking with x+7 is easier than t-spinning in 7+x lol

sharp condor
#

i think it's mostly because in tetrio lots of players trade efficiency for speed

#

whereas in TEC people are like all slow so efficiency is usually a lot closer

#

if that makes sense

cursive sierra
#

Just because tec is slower than tetrio doesn’t mean it’s less speed reliant

#

Tec’s speed problem is precisely due to speed cap

Here are some response from** few streamers **had from this topic, (Rough explanation):

1.Great, main reason: great game play, not just openers anymore, not as much 4-wide as people thinks, more variety.

  1. This could be a weekly thing, do not have separate mode for this.

These are not my words, Since I don't even do TL.

cursive sierra
#

If you’re slower at 1 point you’re slow for the entire game in tec

Why dont in lower rank they just lower the fire power of an btb and pc if the problem is about they cant counter it properly

So they can more focus on how to stack and survive properly

Cad review 7+X-Bag
TL history aside (my MDs are exposed lel) I'm missing openers as "a segueway into controlling midgame".
7+X bag feels like it's taking alot of pathing and continuations away and just playing blind
is it good? sure yea, but it's not only "kills openers" but kills "how comfortable I am for the next 7 bags"

#

well, not that I'll say whether that's good

but sprinters just run away with not needing to be fancy

Stephen's 7+X review:
Firstly, I didn't play TL as I main SDPC, one of the many openers that got nerfed to the ground in 7+X bag. I knew my TR was at risk so I instead did FT7 friendlies in lobbies.
7+X bags are really jarring, especially when getting pairs of unhelpful pieces like L and J as the random pieces in bag 1 of 4.
Early (first 2 bags) - PC clearing being nerfed by RNG was the plan of 7+X, and it works effectively.
Midgame (bags 3 into margin time) - sure, midgame pcs exist at this point, kind of standard gameplay with more PC's
Margin time - pretty much inf ds
It's a 7/10 temp change for me, as I was planning on improving my efficiency in midgame anyways, considering most players above my rank usually spam lines of cheese.
The fact that the first 35 pieces of a game, which usually is ~20s at SS, has to be completely in the hands of RNG kind of makes the first 35 pieces really painful to work through.
Compared to the other 7+N game modes, this has reasonable potential but may need some randomization changes.

long palm

#

Ok I'm gonna be completely honest.

Biased part

I absolutely loved the change to the bag system. The matches I played today are some of the most enjoyable TL matches I've played in a long time. Not worrying about getting SDPC'd at 2.5pps every other round is a real breath of fresh air for me.

While I didn't win every match ( Naturally ) I don't believe I tilted once all day which is a first in a long time for me.

The fact you can still use openers but there is an increased RNG about it is perfect and enough to bring more variety to the start of every round for me.

The bag changes really punish opener mains which is huge for a freestyler like me so I was always gonna vote for it to remain.


Unbiased part

The change in bag system is in general a net positive change to tetrio.

It brings more variety to the way the beginning of each round plays and therefor adds more creativity to VS.

You're still able to do some openers with a bit of luck but the overall concept of things like "kill" openers and people that main "kill" openers ( such as SDPC ) will really struggle with the changes.

This could potentially drive people away from the game because the way they used to enjoy playing has gone and they may not wish to continue playing and make the adjustment to a different playstyle.

On the other hand other people may return to the game to try the shift in gameplay and potentially re-spark their interest in playing the game of a day to day basis.


As with all changes to tetrio. There will almost always be people that love it, and those that hate it.

It's important to strike the right balance.

Having a seperate playlist for this isn't the answer. It would split the playerbase too much. Especially in areas where queue times are already multiple minutes.

I'd love to see it permanent ( or any alternative form of bag other than 7 bag ), but that's again just personal bias.
