TLDR - Create separate leaderboards for the overall waves and the current wave once wave 3 releases. The main leaderboard with all the wave points remains unchanged and the current wave leaderboard gives Mega D1sks and Standard D1sks to the top 300 players.
In order to engage excitement with the Beyond ecosystem I suggest we create another leaderboard for the current wave with the release of wave 3.
The idea of two separate leaderboards is a must have in these types of systems in order to incentivize new players to participate in the Beyond game by bonding their illuvitars and trying to climb up the ladder for better rewards and not feeling daunted by all the previous waves.
If we don't create a new leaderboard for wave 3 only the top 100ish players will be incentivized once again to bond and the barrier for new players to achieve a leaderboard spot will just keep getting bigger and bigger as waves pile in.
On an ending note I'll just add that this would also remove the need for such extravagant individual stretch-goals like we had with wave 2 and the free Mega D1sks for every 25 D1sks purchased.
Let's make Illuvium Beyond Great!
