Deal. Feel free to reach out to me on Twitter or Discord and we can talk about improvements for BH.
Glorious.
Could it be possible to get all trophies for a league you qualify for instead of just the highest metal?
This is the plan :)
Looking at the comments, this seems like a common point of confusion. Maybe the reward currency should be called something else to differentiate it from your league points. League tokens or something.
I think you're right - cheers!
I originally voted no to trophies in the original reward poll as I noticed this issue in that blog. I’m of the opinion that trophies should be unique, so as to incentivise league to league play, although I do think that players should be able to obtain ‘replica’ trophies after a certain amount of leagues have passed. Perhaps when league 3 ends, the league shop will offer freebie twisted trophy replicas. The replicas will be named as so to avoid the actual trophies being devalued. This will allow players to fashionscape with unique dragon trophies right away if they work for them, or after (2) other leagues have passed if they are more casual.
I think we'll keep the base models of the trophies and change the logos for each League if we go down that route. In which case, replicas wouldn't really work, right? I think this is assuming the whole trophy looks completely different in each league.
So does that mean when the next TL starts, people will already have thousands of points? Or will they get to store them in the rewards shop forever and start the next TL with 0?
As someone who was waiting for the 2nd iteration of the league as I’ll have more time to play it, I’d be entirely demotivated to play it if people who played the first one start with an advantage
They would have reward points for spending on the items banked, but points that contribute to relics and the high scores would be reset.
That is a shame that they won't actually hold much value, and definitely put me back on the realscape grind hahaha it's too late now but in future for things like this I would've loved for it to be very clearly apparent that these items aren't Twisted League cosmetics, but just league cosmetics in general.
Fair enough - thanks for the feedback!
will the twisted league slayer helm recolour also require 1000 slayer points?
Yes, we added it as an unlock like the other ones.
Just please don't make the non-trophy cosmetics untradeable. Games that do that are disappointing to say the least.
There is nothing more demoralizing than the following:
"Oh gee wow, I'm a new player, how can I get that cool helmet??"
"You just can't. Should have started playing sooner."
":("
A trophy on the other hand is a trophy. Only people who earned it should get one. That's understandable.
We're not looking to do that for the reason you mention. The question we have is if the same applies to the trophies.
Why do points carry over?
I feel like if you want a reward from another league you should have to grind that league.
Plus I don't think you guys will be able to hit the same difficulty throughout other leagues, so someone with points saved up from an easier league (Like Twisted where you guys have admitted the balancing isn't 100% correct) will instantly have an advantage even though they haven't played the new league.
If they didn't carry over, players might not feel rewarded for continuing to complete tasks once they have enough points for the reward(s) they want. You make a good point about difficulty balancing - we're considering a conversion system to even this out, so 1 Twisted League point might equal 3 Example League points.
I really hope these are discontinued tradeables, otherwise I'll be pretty upset at every minute I will feel I wasted during this league under the impression they were Twisted League specific tradeable items.
As for trophies, I'm pretty sure we've always known that they are untradeable, would be nice if they were league specific also. People should see a League 1 dragon trophy in a year and be super impressed.
We decided from the beginning that we did not want to create discontinued tradeable items.
So the cosmetic outfits from this league will be able to be achieved next league?
I wish I knew this more clearly before starting on the league, I wish I spent these copious amounts of hours playing realscape... Damn
They'll still be available, but that means fewer points to spend on any new rewards.
For the trophies, I'd suggest making the same trophies available each league so they fill the same spot in the POH and so you can aim for higher spots next league. But what if they had some option, like an inspect or such that listed what your ranks were for ever league you were in? That way the item itself isn't unique to each league but you still had some way to tell.
That's an interesting compromise - thanks for the suggestion!
Hope the uniques (Twisted Horns, POH recolour) are discontinued, once this league is over that should be it.
We're not discontinuing the other rewards.
That look in Gambit's eyes like "oh boi imma get fired so fucking hard"
Lmao
How will the team approach adding a mage offhand with mage damage bonus?
When (if) we look at this slot again, we'll consider how it'll affect current BIS way in advance and work that into the design. We're also going to get the community's opinion on introducing new BIS items generally in an upcoming survey.
