This is an idea which I have thought up which could encourage going from the first depth of a stratum to the last, reserving ERs, and the like. There are some limitations to it to prevent grinding and encourage playing in every gate. This system would rank you depending on how you play, using achievement like stuff.
REQUIREMENTS
- In order to get ranked, you must pay Boost at the start of the stratum the same amount of energy as the Stratum number (1 Energy for Stratum 1, 2 Energy for Stratum 2, etc.) in order to receive a Boosted Rank Sheet from him.
- The BRS can only be bought once per Stratum each day.
- The BRS becomes a Tin/Bronze/Silver/Gold/Boosted Mundane/Flawed/Simple/Advanced/Elite/Eternal Box (First, for your rank, and then the Stratum.) after clearing a Stratum.
- The BRS vanishes when you log out, DC, or return to Haven. It may not be obtained again for that Stratum until the next day. Plan ahead and be prepared! (If you have terrible luck, you always can try another gate!)
- You may be ranked when in a party, even if your party isn't being ranked.
- Being kicked or going solo does not make the BRS vanish.
BONUSES
These are used to rank you once you reach a Terminal or Subtown. A panel on the left shows you which bonuses you've achieved for that level. Each counts as one point, with points being tallied at the end of each level. I was sleepy when I typed these, so I apologize if they are silly. (Will go over them again.)
- Emergency Resolved (Clear with your Emergency Revive unused.)
- Adept Wielder (Used all your weapons at least 30%-25%-20% of the time, depending on your total equipped weapon count. What counts as using a weapon would be something like whenever you deal a status or deal a hit with something.)
- Shield Savior (Never had your shield break.)
- Polite Domination (Never hit an enemy with a Shield Bash.)
- Head Splitting (Deal Stun to 30 individual, non-regenerating enemies with Shield Bash.)
- What Shield? (Have no shield equipped from after you attack an enemy. This is so that you can still obtain the bonus by de-equipping your shield ON THAT LEVEL.)
- Boots or Cleats? (Never Dash.)
- Feet Feat (Evade 3 attacks in a row using the Dash's invincibility frames.)
- To the Sky! (Kill 5 non-regenerating enemies using hostile explosions. (Blastcubes, Exploding Blocks, etc.))
AWARDS
I will finish this tomorrow. Everything you get from the ranking system is BOUND, preventing alts from benefiting.
