[Suggestion] Map Season 5 difficulty modes ( easy, normal, hard ) and unlock after 1.15-10

I love games that let you control the difficulty

Easy mode

Map Seasons ( Atlantis, Valhalla, etc. ) come in Normal, and Hard

Seasonal Events ( Winter, Spring, etc. ) now come in Easy, Normal, and Hard

Make Map Season 5 three difficulty modes :

Easy, Normal and Hard

Map Season 5 's monthly event

During Map Season 5 's monthly event,

Easy is -1 WE per run, while
Normal and Hard are -3 WE per run ( like Valhalla Forever )

Boring

Change Map Seasons so they ALL unlock when Season 1, Province 15, Stage 10 ( 1.15-10 ) is completed

One account is grinding through Season 3 to unlock Season 4, and this is SOOOOOO boring

Are they doing Season 5? If so, when? What’s the theme?

With only 5 months left in S4 where’s the tall on S5? Do we know the theme, abilities, and heroes yet? And base power of heroes?

Season 5? If so, when? What’s the theme?

Only “familiar”, “later this year”, and “soon”

Familiar theme

(Q&A with Game Designers - Spring 2021 Edition (Answers) - "Ask Me Anything" AMA transcript - #11 by Petri)

What season was the hardest to create and why was that particular theme chosen?

• TIM: Season themes probably are a bit easier now since we know each has to be different enough from the previous season…I mean season 2 was something where it was still a bit uncertain if we’d even really need a season 3, but now that we see that yeah, we should definitely have a season for each year it’s more of just choosing a theme and making sure we stay within the idea there, just so that it’d be nice and fun then to come up with the next one. Season 3 was really solid since the Norse mythology is so vast…but I wanted to avoid the obvious with Season 4 thus this bit more eccentric mix of Jules Verne-inspired characters. Season 5 is going to be a bit more familiar in some ways, as you’ll see later this year:)

Soon

(Q&A with Game Designers - Spring 2021 Edition (Answers) - "Ask Me Anything" AMA transcript - #6 by Petri)

• Since the Sneak Peek post from E&P staff on 26th January this year, there has been a high volume of “player wishes / wants” for inclusion under the umbrella of QOL.From all the ideas and suggestions posted by players in the forum this year - What is your feedback?
  • TIM: Here the same applies - we’ve definitely read these and even scoped the work for the ones that could fit the game, but the work on new content and features has been of higher priority. A practical example is Season 5 - we already need to start the work on that soon.

Topic Summaries: The feature where Discourse summarizes long topics is heavily influenced by how much each post is liked

I love the summarize button.

This also works with the summarize filter:

@Gryphonknight

Filter by user

@Guvnor

Step 3: hit the “X posts in this topic” and it will filter those posts by that user.

If you want to read before, or after, a filtered post, you can look up the actual post number

In the above example it is @zephyr1 9/9 post in the topic. But by clicking the link button, it displays the actual post is #128.

This allows you to go to post #128 and then scroll up or down.

You can also hit refresh page on your web browser, but sometimes that will move you to a random post further up the topic.

So if you are using the summarize filter, clicking the link button will tell you the actual post number.

Most times refresh page will also work, but sometimes not.

[Primer] What do forum “Likes” do? Or use your “Likes”

==New User==

(Discourse New User Tips and Tricks)

To let someone know that you enjoyed and appreciated their post, use the like button. Share the love!

==Highlights==

(What are "Likes"? - users - Discourse Meta)

Likes are central to how Discourse works. So central in fact that there’s no “on/off” button for them because Discourse is not designed to run without likes enabled.

Signaling

• Topic Summaries: The feature where Discourse summarizes long topics is heavily influenced by how much each post is liked. Without that signal the content will be less useful to users who are looking for “the gist” of the topic.

• Top Topics: Likes are used in the calculation of the “Top Topics” filter as a way to allow users to find high quality topics on the forum.

==Downvotes==

Why no downvotes?

Systems of fact, data, and science can benefit from downvotes, because statements can be scientifically proven to a reasonable degree. Systems of opinion do not benefit from downvotes and are in fact materially and seriously harmed by them, because nobody can prove an opinion. Empathy is the order of the day in opinion systems.

Unlocking Map Season 5

@Gryphonknight

Change Map Seasons so they ALL unlock when Season 1, Province 15, Stage 10 ( 1.15-10 ) is completed

( 2022 Sneak Peek! 🆕 )

Season V will unlock once players reach Season IV Province 5.

If this is not a typo,

Not what I was hoping TZS would do ( looking at you Sandy Caves )

But better than unlocking Map Season 4 ( looking at you match 4, and match 5, spoiling Runic Rocks )

@Gryphonknight

Yellow and Purple, Biome, Sandy Caves

In Province 1, 9 out of 10 stages have yellow monsters

In Province 2, 7 out of 10 stages have yellow monsters

Yellow heroes are weak against yellow

I do not recommend having, both 1x Yellow AND 1x Purple, or 2+ Purple, or 2+ Yellow on an auto play team

Is there a way to change map difficulty of you haven’t finished all of it? At like 3-10 but would be cool to start over on 1 again at hard

[mpolo]

On all the existing levels, you can toggle easy / hard before entering the level (select the level, then before starting the battle, click on hard up above the monster preview), provided you have done the easy once.

Season 6 / 2B / Legends of Atlantis requires that you put the whole level in “hard mode” to select the hard versions, so the selection comes before doing the level, and as a result, the hard levels must be done in order — no deciding to kill the end boss early.

[Archayus]

Yeah I’ve noticed that when I switch over into season 2 where the Atlantis levels are, each one I click on that I’ve already beaten on normal, gives me the option to do normal or hard. However on part one, even though I have cleared pretty much almost all of it every time I click on one of the levels, it does show me the mob preview, but there is no option to select between normal or hard like there is on part 2
