Adjusting Wave Boss Spawn Mechanics

[Malong]

I would like to suggest a change to the current wave boss spawn mechanics. Currently, a boss is guaranteed to spawn every 3 waves, which can make the system feel predictable. To make it more dynamic and engaging, I propose switching this mechanic to a percentage-based chance for the boss to spawn instead of being guaranteed.

For example:

• Instead of a boss appearing every 3 waves, there could be a 50% chance for a boss to spawn on those waves.
  
• If a boss doesn’t spawn, the wave could include an extra 10 normal enemies to maintain challenge and balance.
  

This change would add an element of surprise and unpredictability, making the gameplay more exciting and less repetitive.
What do you think? I believe this adjustment could improve the overall experience of wave progression.

I'm always up for decreasing the loot chances to slower the progress.
By implementing this feature it will most likely feel somehow special again when you get a boss.
More special moments = More fun.

How dedicated are you _really_ to these special moments? Because you are free to slow your own progress and look for these special moments independently from the rest of the community. Start your characters and crafting from nothing, don't spend any assist xp, don't trade with others nor use the auction hall, only use the items and materials you loot yourself, and don't get anything crafted by any characters other than your own. I'm sure there are more restrictions you could apply, but the point is "don't drag others into some philosophy that they obviously don't share with you." I'll also take this opportunity to point out that you're a member of a house whose unofficial motto started 10 years ago as "Time is loot, jaja."

When the boss doesn’t appear, people won’t have to use the ballista since there’s no boss.

What?

sorry autocorrect

So what did you intend to type then?

Applying that same logic and assuming that looting is a special moment for most people (which PCK and I just figured out), less bosses means less loots, less loots means less special moments and therefore less fun.

Why am I being brought up? I literally coined the phrase "the fun is in the loot" (which Sharmastyle quoted in this thread) about 10 years ago. I also stopped caring about loot a little over five and a half years ago.
