TOPIC: Mythic XP Ideas?

How about we create a separate XP Board for Mythic play?

Anytime you play on Mythic level you would get two XP codes with one for non-Mythic play (as is done now) and another code for the Mythic XP Board. We could have special rules and rewards unique to Mythic players. We could have, for example, allow folks to enter up to 2 codes (instead of the limit of 1 now) to get XP for playing Mythic. Level rewards could be cool pins like the 8th level pin we have now. Please share any thoughts you have about how Mythic XP could be handled differently than how it is run now. Thanks.

Jeff, that sounds like an excellent idea, XP is a big factor for a lot of people. I'll bet it would be incentive for people to get to Mythic level as soon as possible so that they get on top of that XP board.

My concern with this would be that there will be people who miss out due to not being able to find a full run of 10 Mythic players (or 10 Mythic tickets including ghosts). That's not really an issue as long as Mythic is just a different level of difficulty with new features, but if there are exclusive rewards as well then it may not be a great experience for people who have crafted a Safehold I but cannot get a full Mythic group together,

I think it’s no different than wanting to play nightmare in a pug run. The only way to guarantee difficulty is to buy the whole run. If someone can’t find people on the forums to run with for mythic then they can’t pug mythic anyways.

Regardless I love the suggestion for a new XP track Jeff!

Jeff, maybe you could allow players to input XP for Mythic runs for each convention they play it at. If someone played a Mythic run on the same Dungeon at four different conventions, they could get four different XP amounts added to their account.

Those are good ideas.

You could stack the Mythic XP with the non-Mythic XP or keep it separate. I have always felt that there should be some minimal XP to account for the shear number of runs one does but not to allow double dipping XP based on difficultly and last room entered for the same run.

Other thoughts are to allow the Mythic player to help pay for the cost of a unique reward or provide for an in run one time benefit TBD during a VTD Mythic run as reward for completing x number of VTD Mythic runs in order to be able to manage this.

For people worried about finding mythic runs, I fully expect to try organizing some once we get there. I play a lot and will try to help organize as many as possible to make sure those who have the desire and the tokens can play.

This sounds like a fantastic idea to me.

I'd look at it through the lens of a frequent player rewards program catering to Mythic players rather than analogous to XP.

From other frequent customer rewards systems here are some features that might be considered:

1. Seasonal rewards / benefits similar to frequent flyer status - qualify for status by doing some number of runs in one season, and retain that status for the season it is achieved, and also the next season.

Example rewards of this type:
- Zoom workshop with TDHQ: the group designs some completion tokens or treasure only tokens.
- End of season group dinner near TDHQ (players are responsible for their own travel and lodging).
- Mythic player lounge in the Storyscape area

2. Overall progress rewards based on unique adventures run, just as the current XP system offers.

Example reward: Same as current XP system, Mythic Levels with simple rewards at each level.

3. Regular rewards that occur every N runs.

Example reward: Mythic Goodie Bag every 10th run (proof tokens, completion tokens, misprinted paraphernalia, unsold prior year token 10-packs, etc.)

Perfectly good with a complete separate Mythic XP track. Do not mix tracks.

Perfectly good with things like the 8th level pin or 10th level amulet. No additional treasure pulls.

Would not want to see additional content unlocked, like separate dungeons/rooms.

Would be good with promo versions of tokens other people can get. Special backed versions of spirit pets, for instance, would be great. But, wouldn't want tokens that can be in builds given out that other people can't get.

The Mythic "club" is going to be your high end rollers, so I understand treating them special in various ways, but want to minimize the perception that other players don't matter.

With not needing a Safehold 1 to do Mythic DR then I do not see a need for a separate XP track or other rewards.

The extra rewards can be rolled into Safehold 1 and Mythic tokens process.

He has now updated another post to say you will need to show Safehold 1 to play Mythic DR.

Good catch. I missed seeing that change.
