Boss Slider minimum

Nice going , thanks for the rumor, all of us with baby make, skys , posers and Dino's will be happy ,

 

I guess you don't do that many bosses. I have to rely on them as I don't have a fight list and I can assure you 100% that they drop to 1xp bonus after you've hit a certain amount of bosses. You still get your normal xp depending on the amount of stam you hit it with.

 

I am curious about this. I was getting low xp for some bosses that I helped with. I was certain that the payout for a defeated boss was 35%. Some of the bosses were 4 days old, though. Was there an announcement about a change in boss rewards?

 

The older a boss get the less it is worth, it seems every 24 hours it depreciates, I usually have 50 to 60 bosses going everyday , most of my clan kill of their bosses in 2 days or less, I do not join an old boss unless I need some xp to level quick , I know I kill my boss off in 2 days at most I also do bosses for loot mostly I do not count on them for leveling so much, loot is where it is at for me anyway at what number of bosses is there a limit, the most I have had at one time is prob 60 , 50 is the norm daily

 

The boss payout changed ages ago, maybe 6 months ago. We used to get max payout, but now after a certain number it drops off to 1xp, just like Challenges do when you reach the limit. I did look for the thread on it but couldn't find it.

 

Ok I found out what you mean, you are talking about the bonus when you join a boss, being on a laptop I cannot see the full screen so my focus is on whether I got on the boss and then I scroll down to watch my damage and look for loot, I asked someone who has taught me alot about the game, and now I get it, I luv learning new stuff, thanks for the help , I was just thinking of the xp I get for each click on the boss

 

You are the 5th to join this fight. Help defeat the boss to earn special rewards.
You earned +1 XP for joining this Coop Boss Fight.

 

To get back to the original idea in this thread, which is the slider for the boss....
The original rewards for bosses was set using a formula like this: Boss Health divided by # allowed to battle divided by 2 gave you the level you needed for rewards on the boss battle. For instance, lets say a boss has a health of 2,000,000 and allows 10 to fight it. The amount of damage needed to get rewards would be 2,000,000 divided by 10 divided by 2 or 100,000. So then the min damage slider would be set at 200,000 but since it is absolute now, only the boss owner can go over that amount. This example is to show why the minimum damage slider may be set at 2 times rewards level (not sure, just my assumption).
I do not know if this formula still works or not, but if that was still in place then the reason to have the slider set at 2 times rewards would be to allow everyone the chance to get rewards and a little more but still be able to kill the boss as long as all positions were filled.
Now that the sliders are absolute, this is needed so that players can attack the boss and not waste stamina. If we leave it up to the boss owner then we are counting on them understanding the game and how the restrictions affect others. If you want everyone to be able to earn rewards on your boss, then set it at the min. (2 times rewards) and do not attack it yourself until every position is taken. Then you can kill the boss and earn rewards yourself. Players can not go over your set amount of damage, so no chance of you missing out on rewards. If you want your boss killed quickly, then you set the damage to max. and do not need a min. damage slider.
Maybe I am not understanding the reason to have the min. damage slider set to lower than 2 times rewards, can you explain that part of the question so that I can help out more?

 

you get rewards at the end , when a boss is defeated for doing the min damage, this idea came about because on Baby ( low level) bosses from high level players who post their bosses in a few of the boss groups alot of us are in, with the slider set at double the min a baby boss ( for example, a make make thru to a dino, dies real quick , sometimes less than 2 hours with the slider set at double, this was something alot of us talked about , to have the option for those kinds of bosses, and not everyone gets a chance to get on it. it would just be an option for players to use or not use, most other bosses can take a beating and go on for hours and hours and even a day or so, since their min are so high , giving most people a chance to get in , considering all the different time zones where players are from. that being said, last night after the reset thing was implemented now the sliders are set at min, but we lost the option for double, the next tier is way too high, the slider set at double is still needed as the option to set it higher if someone wants to.

 

Yes, now that we have the option to set the slider at minimum rewards damage, the next setting up from that is too high. We now have to choose between not enough help and too much help on some Bosses. Why can't we have the option to set the slider at minimum damage required for rewards and then have NO further preset amounts? By the way, double the minimum setting would be too high for my present Boss.

 

It is increased now by 1 percent increments.

 

a good conclusion to this issue

 

This has been adjusted as Jon & Linda said. I am going to close and accept this Idea!

Thanks for the input everyone and keep the great Ideas coming!
