I'm aware of the 'PID' staking thing that people like to try to abuse. That's exactly why draws were introduced in the first place :) don't worry, I've tested it and it all works like it should. You're not going to have an advantage just by having a lower or higher PID than your opponent.

Mike, what happened with my Idea to have Difficulty Tiers for PC? Or is that for a later update?

Awesome so glad to hear Mike. Thank you

Confirmed, it's resolved. Thanks.

The current PC game already takes the amount of players and their average combat level into account, to determine how many pests to spawn and what their combat levels are, so it scales rather well.

However, I am considering to make a harder version of Pest Control (and possibly make the current one a little bit easier), which is only accessible to players who completed Pest Invasion. Playing the harder version would also be the only way to get elite void, as I don't think I should simply sell it for just PC points - most veterans have already saved up on thousands of those and everyone have elite void gear as soon as it's released (but I would still make them cost PC points on top of commendation points - if we decide to call them that).

It's something that needs to be decided yet. But any input is appreciated.


Also, I can't simply put an extra boat at the dock, so I don't really know how it would work. Possibly giving you the option between regular and elite mode when you click the gangplank.

Awesome work! Maybe make it if you hit 0 hp all of your incoming attacks gets cancelled to not cause confusion in DA.

Same minigame for ironmen or different now?
