So everyone knows that the tier 2 boss strata's are usually the most visited. Reasons for that are because they are accesable, not too hard and they make decent profit at the same time.
I like some variation sometimes, but I find that nobody is running at the other gates and alot of times i have to start a game on my own and solo. So why don't I just solo then? Well I just enjoy spiral knights alot more when being accompanied :D.
So I thought of a simple solution.
Why not make the player get rewarded for going through all 4 strata's on a particular tier? Like when going through all tier 1 gates you get rewarded and so forth. Of course the reward should get better the higher the tier. This should happen before the gate change, or else you have to do all 4 over again.
What should the rewards be? I really have no friggin idea. I'll leave that to what 3 rings things what's worth.
I can understand the thought process here. Boss level sets are just so much more profitable that a lot of players will, understandably, go straight for them first over other options. Having some better loot incentives to actual play non boss stratums would be nice to encourage parties exploring those stratums.
