Croesus is fun but it's a shame that there are so many opportunities for people to be selfish/trolls. Points are a bit backwards with how they're rewarded. The fact that you have to wait until 2:25 before you can damage the boss in order to maximize points also feels a bit weird. Like, as is you get more points by screwing over teammates who are still gathering and depositing at a statue 'early.' Regardless of intent (I never meant to 'cheat' people out of points), that sounds backwards to me. I always left the node when it got poisoned, which people do immediately (early IMO). Gathering resources should be the thing that gives you points, depositing should be like half of that if there's a deposit cap (which there currently is: 15 of each type)
Dodging mechanics though, I think, should be the majority of the points pool (since the way that Croesus gains power is by hitting players with the fungus/gases). That would incentivize people to actually dodge the mechanics instead of tanking them (very few do this but it's still annoying). If you've 'survived' the 'kill' up to the point of damaging the central node, those should be 'bonus' points you earn on top of what you already have that hasn't been depleted from failing to avoid mechanics. As is, it seems like the boss is designed in the way that combat bosses are, which is a shame because this being a skilling boss, it's a great time to introduce defensive mechanics as 'point earners' rather than the simple 'DPS until it's dead' way that Croesus currently is.
But yeah, that's my off-topic Croesus rant (sorry, lol) @Chee__RS
