inb4 part 2 doesn't require tokens

At least not without a reduction in the amount of tokens required for the current part 1 upgrades (or an overhaul like those proposed in the request thread).

inb4 part 2 doesn't require tokens

Just adds part 2, forces 500 token hard cap, and lets you rebalance?

Just adds part 2, forces 1000 token hard cap, and no rebalance?

FTFY

In b4 Part 2 uses AP and aura points (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Won't the second part of monster lab be something like this
"Custom trophies for player-made monsters"(from ehwiki)
Chaos tokens or etc could be used to upgrade that monsters trophy loot quality bonus.

We pretty much know nothing for certain about updates.
Also why would anyone upgrade the loot quality of their monster?
It would only help others who beat their monsters...which you wouldn't want to encourage.

Well it would help yourself too if you kill your own monsters. I don't think people want to upgrade their monsters to the point that the game becomes unplayable on all difficulties. Right? ....Guys? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/mellow.gif)

Anyways hito seems to have an uncanny sense for what Tenb is thinking so I'd go with whatever he predicted for part 2.

I never said anything about buffing up the monsters. I was just looking through info on wiki and thought that trophy maybe the second part of the monster lab.

You know the wiki is updated by players and not Tenboro, right?

If there were a hard cap for real, it would probably be 1000 since that's originally what the total upgrade amount was supposed to be.


Though, I can say for certain that any custom monster trophies will either be worth next to nothing in the bazaar or not be able to be sold at all. Why? Mob spawn rate won't be adjusted to compensate for trophy value, it's be the other way around. If the upgrades include making the custom mobs into true boss/legendary/god class, reducing the spawn frequency would have adverse effects on the rate of battles won, which would lead to an uproar from the owners.

Though, I think the final outcome will have customs upgraded to boss/legendary/god status, but still spawn as "normal" mobs at a reduced rate, with reduced HP compared to their fixed system counterparts, and have their own (almost worthless) trophies. Or, they could all possibly follow the hated 10% drop rate of the legendary marathon arenas and still retain a boss trophy type value, or less, and probably even lower loot quality than that.

I don't know what incentive could be provided to the owner to actually upgrade the trophy quality bonus though. It would have to be monetized for sure. Perhaps the monster owner gets some kind of reward every time one of their monster's trophies are redeemed.

Yes I know, but it hinted in Tenboro responses.....if I can find it.

Everything on that particular article has citation or was vouched for by other players.

I didn't mean to imply that the wiki supplies unverified information, just that such verification doesn't always correspond to the actual future.

still waiting for tenboro to change those soul ethereal weapons to void ethereal ones... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

But then my super-terrible ethereal wakizashi won't be as super-terrible anymore! it'll only be... oh who am i kidding, it's just awful either way.

I will only upgrade my Lisi if it is worth it. Would be silly to miss out on so much Material just to have a Legendary Class Monster.

@Tiap

If there are Boss/Legendary/God class upgrades at all, this is why:
