FYI - at present, the appearance of boss strata is in no way affected by the players. Boss strata are automatically assigned to specific gates regardless of what, if anything, players do.

Second, it's pretty much impossible for anything smaller than a full guild to actually influence gate construction. It takes a *lot* of minerals to shift a stratum. There have been a few times players have banded together to create a specific gate (such as an all-slime gate), but such efforts are few and far between. For the most part, auto-selling of whatever minerals happen to drop is the controlling factor in gate construction.

(The devs need to *seriously* reconsider the whole gate construction mechanic. AFAIK, the current mechanism has never actually worked as intended, with a very few exceptions like the all slime gate).

"My guild often all agree on a stratum they want and we try and craft the gate to that end. We tend to like slime stratums as they are relatively easy to clear and have a tendancy to give a lot of gold. "

Huh, for some reason I find slimes harder than most other monsters. I'd rather have devilites, gremlins, and gunpuppies at the same time. For me, it's really hard to predict and dodge those spikes coming out of the ground.

I want to see more beast strata myself... I've built myself a lovely Fearless Rigadoon that often doesn't get enough exercise with all the mechs and slimes around, and while it's very satisfying to shred a pack of greavers (vengeance for the time I met you carrying Faust with the obvious painful results! Hah! Take that!) Ahem, yes, Flourish series and Thorn blade series are both best applied against BEASTS!

Also, less dramatic and more bean-counting, but, a lot of things that a lot of people want UVs of require materials from beast strata. Monster Bones, Sharp Fangs, Green Shards, essential in mass crafting many popular items.

The only problem with Beast Strata is they are more likely to give Primal Sparks than Grim Sparks, alas.

Isn't it better to match the strati with the boss levels? ie. Having the JK levels preceded with more jelly levels would make gearing up a whole lot easier.

I always feel that we have way too many of those two strata. At one time a dormant gate was full of Poison and Shock, except that the first one was Freeze.

Also, Fiends. [BLEEP]ING DEVILITES. Bunch of totoros pelting our health away with junk.

I'd really like to see more Undead and Beast strata... just because like nobody ever tries to create them.

What I want is a shock area followed by fire right before snorbalax. Im tired of all the kiddies in proto trying to hit that bell while he's in a corner. The less of those the better.

im working to make slime stratum on strat 3 of the rj gate.

"That's just mean... They're new to the game and Snorbolax is their first challenge. Let them learn from their mistakes." Not necessarily, I would consider Snarbolax easier than a danger room in the deeper half of T1.

And it's not entirely obvious that that is what the bell is for. Just tell them they have to hit the bell while Snarb is in the center to damage him.

...

And I agree with shock, but poison? Poison is the least harmful status IMO. Just run around for a few seconds until it ends, it doesn't even do damage or slow you down.

I second that! but there's still the others.

Edit: OP needs to edit the first post so people can just glance to know the current project.

I do my best to disrupt slime and gremlin gates on stratum 6. I'm fine with anything else but those 2 are by far the least profitable. Construct, beast, fiend, or undead are preferable.

I'd just like to say I was solely responsible for the beast theme on the titan gate lol (partly by accident)

It had changed to ice in the last minute and I reallly really wanted construct, but couldn't click fast enough to shift themes lol.

I really liked Jade Falcon's construct --> undead T3 strata. Do want again.

If you really wanna pull off a concerted gate change, you'd have to organize a dedicated group to affect the gate in the last 2-3 minutes before it opens.

uJelly?

We have until the start of tomorrow to make any final changes to the Dark King Gate. Now's the time to ask for anything new in a stratum that's not being worked on.
