Random Box/Chest Hunt key/Ascending Heights boots spawn rate

[potent holly]

Currently the spawn rate of Random Box/Chest Hunt key/Ascending Height boots is by random time, and not effected by changes in speed.
Please change it so it will be by random distance so it will be faster with the uses of boost/rage/wind dash

[chrome notch]

it'd be either too strong or too weak

how 'bout no
another "rich get richer, poor get poorer" suggestion
plus it's specifically been balanced for the time, recently too.

He goes back and forward and i dont exactly understand what he said here

[red coral]

Spawn timers will continue to count down during gameplay, even if the player is locked in battle (usually against a Giant.)
The timer for Random Boxes will stop once one is in the play area, and resumes once it is used / despawns. The same goes for Keys and Boots.

[potent holly]

I agree about the 2nd part, but you can also just change it so there wont be any progress toward the random box while there is one in the play area and we solved that part
About 1st part, i think it should progress with movement and not time anyway

[red coral]

well that would just be an improvement for later players and a downgrade for earlier, slower players (as previously mentioned)
especially since Giants aren't slain as quickly

[potent holly]

A. When i didnt want giants i just didnt buy them (i left the game open for quests of non flying enemies)

[potent holly]

B. Boost speed more than boss takes

[red coral]

(ignoring that if it actually was rebalanced to distance instead of time, it would definitely work out that running maximum speed would be roughly the same as it is now, and not moving would be far far worse. as in, just don't. It would not be fun.)

[potent holly]

I think it should be slower than the cuurent length for walk and faster with boost

Why only slower?

[red coral]

because it's definitely not going to be rebalanced to be even faster than they are now
I really, really doubt it. It's already really fast, like 25-60 seconds or something like that. (not including the new temp craft that buffs speed by another 40%)

Like, the high would be the same but the low would be excruciatingly slow
(there are more speed upgrades you haven't unlocked yet, notably Wind Dash. I originally thought you had far more USP, I only reread your nickname a few minutes ago.)

[red coral]

personally wouldn't recommend that outside of pre-ua, but you do you

[potent holly]

I mistook
I meant it should be same with unupgraded speed for boost

[red coral]

your speed is upgraded, though not fully
there were speed buffs at the very start of the game

[potent holly]

I meant that it should be faster with wind dash

[red coral]

they're already pretty frequent

forcing players to play actively to get boxes to not spawn 5x slower

well, at least 5x. Don't know exactly how fast wind dash is

this is also based on an assumption I'm making, you're free to take it with several grains of salt lol

[potent holly]

I think i should make more detailed suggestion

[potent holly]

@red coral
Just checked
Boost 20 coins = speed x3.5 at max speed
Boost 5 Qi coins = speed x3.85 (+10%) at max speed
Boost 5 No coins = speed x4.62 (+20%) at max speed
Boost 5 Nd coins = speed x5.544 (+20%) at max speed
I dont know wind dash speed nor rage speed
What do you think about if you would get them on same distance as the current on speed x4?

Or what about making dark divinity that changes it to be by distance instead of time, and it will be at distance equal to what on speed ×5?

[red coral]

I don't think

so much effort, so much work to balance (for the dev)
for what purpose
