Hey twink friends,
after asking last week if the majority of twinks in SL still support competition, i sat down and started working on it. My community ladder projects have always been primarily pvp arena and bgs but never pve. some may remember the old BCEP twink rating addon https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/bcepque which received over 2800 downloads and was widely used. Thanks again to all participants, beta testers and supporters, your grind and rating is of course still safely stored over the years and will also find a place in the category "Twink Season 1 (WoD)" when the new twink community leaderboard website is published.
But now to my current project, this time it will be a PvE project for the first time in which I want to give you the first insights now. The project is called "Twink M+" and follows the High Level M+ principle, players run different keystone levels (difficulty) to beat the time at the end. The faster the dungeon is completed, the more M+ score (you can find the table for this under). The only difference to high level M+ is that we only have a maximum of +5 keystone levels (see keystone level meaning). To play a higher keystone level, you have to play the previous level at least intime or have a party member who is able to play higher keystone levels.
So much for the brief overview, now for the exact flow of how this works.
Players need to download the TwinkCM addon (which will be released when it is ready) and after downloading it they can run directly into the dungeons which are set as M+ dungeons. There will be a maximum of 2 dungeons supported in the beta and at the first Twink M+ Season launch there will be 3 more (5 dungeons in total). You can already comment on which dungeons you want in the thread! Every single character starts at keystone level +1. You can start an m+ run in the selected dungeon with the addon by pressing "Start Challenge" (see picture).
After pressing the button, the standard Blizzard 10 second countdown appears for groups with at least 2 players and the challenge starts. IMPORTANT: if a group member moves far from the entrance, is in combat, someone leaved the group, a high level character is in the group, the key is no longer valid. Also note that there is also a mob count.
Keystone Level Table
+1 ................ 5/5 Party (Green Color)
+2 ................ 4/5 Party (Blue Color)
+3 ................ 3/5 Party (Purple Color)
+4 ................ 2/5 Party (Red Color)
+5 ................ Solo (Orange Color)
After you have successfully intimed a dungeon, you will receive a link with a hash, if you pasted and called the copy your run will be saved online and thus every participating char in the group will unlock the next keystone level (max +5). You can run the same dungeon as many times as you want and improve your time. If you skip one or more keystone levels and redeem the link online at the end, the website will deny you this as you cannot skip a level. The keystone level validity depends on the player who presses "Start Challenge". For example, if everyone in the group is allowed to play a maximum of +1 keystones and player Xyz has the right to +3, he can activate the +3 keystone level for the group and make it valid for everyone. However, if everyone can play a maximum of +1 keystone level and try to play +3, they can complete the dungeon with the timer etc. but the result after calling the link with the hash will meet with a rejection from the online system. Every wednesday 08AM (European servertime) keystone level decreases by 1
As mentioned above you get M+ score for completing the dungeons (M+ score range table).
With the M+ score there will be a corresponding leaderboard based on the M+ score.
It is a very technically complex project and I hope you have understood it, if you have any questions feel free to ask. I am also open for feedback and ideas!
