What if a player crashes? What if a player just start up his game, ready to play his first run of the day. Would putting someone in a disadvantage for not being on a server quick enough be a good idea?

oh and btw; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJtGWWjLC5k

Will this show if a cade is going to be stacked to?

What do you think about my mini-servers idea?


And your btw looks nice. Does it show when cade stacks? Is it possible to make previewed cade being semi-transparent or in solid color (like blue, fopr example) texture?

I would be willing to bet that 90% of normal mode joins come after wave 6 and that would make most of those people not bother joining at all

Anyway, I'll move this idea to the Resolved Requests.

In regard to the wave bonus issue:

I would not go as far as saying that Normal runs will lose players. Most people that play Normal are after a quick run or farming basic materials, the gained XP is hardly worth the effort in comparison to Hard and Rag runs.

I do not mean the bonus to disadvantage late joiners in the way that they gain less than they currently do; the idea is benefitting those who put their effort into the run before any joiners spawn.
My main concern with the situation right now is that, if our small team carries a dozen of players to wave 9 or 12, we do not gain anything at all.
In fact, most of the time we're risking to either
-wipe because of badly equipped joiners that spawn more bots than they can kill and/or bring no support of value
or
-we're literally forced to share the same loot chance with people that didn't contribute a fraction of what we did to get there

By giving a bonus of some sort to those players who carry others, there would actually be an incentive in favour of having people join as the bonus makes the carriers benefit from the greater amount of bots, making up for the loss of boss loot chances for example.

In addition to that, a bonus increasing along with wave progress would make teams more consistent in the way that people won't disperse after the last boss is dead, so as to benefit from their server spot and the opportunity to play from wave one instead of getting a late game spot on a different server.
