After taking in player feedback, Criterion will be split up differently into three modes. Here are the new versions and what we were told about each in the most recent Live Letter.
| . | Variant | Advanced | Criterion |
|---|---|---|---|
| Earn Exp | Yes | No | No |
| Level Req | 90 and up | 100 | 100 |
| Players | 1-4 | 2-4 | 4 |
| Trash | Yes | No | No |
| Res Restrictions | No | ??? | Yes |
| ilvl sync | i765 | i785 | ??? |
Variant: Essentially the same deal as previous iterations. Explore the story dungeon and try to find all of the branching paths. Bosses will minorly change based on the path you're on like before.
Advanced: A new version different from previous iterations. Challenge each of the three bosses in any order for rewards. It was implied that bosses will have loot specific to them and this way you can target the loot you want. Bosses will be more challenging than their Variant counterparts. YoshiP said that if you kill all three bosses you can access an extra room, but we don't know exactly what that entails yet. I'm guessing extra loot or currency?
Criterion: The hardest version. This time you will fight harder versions of each of the bosses in a set order. The slide uses the phrase "High-difficulty content!". Will have access to Variant Raise II. (Explained below) It is not clear if you will be able to use the standard set of variant actions or not. Guessing not. We do not know the ilvl sync. Guessing it will be the same as Advanced at i785? (Which is an ugly number)
A few other tidbits of information
- A new variant action called Variant Eagle Eye Shot was added. It does high single target nuke damage and is equippable by all roles.
- Variant Raise II is back. Use it to revive one ally. Only available in Criterion. Each player will only be able to use this once per boss encounter.
- People are questioning the i785 sync on Criterion. We don't know what it will be yet. That is my best guess based on the information we have been given. The argument to support i785 is that there was a loud complaint from the community that people weren't able to do previous criterion/savage because they didn't have enough gear. In the LL they mentioned a few times that these changes were based on player feedback. This ilvl would make Advanced/Criterion more accessible which I believe is what they are going for. We will have to wait and see
- IMO the only issue with previous Criterions was the rewards or lack thereof. Surely they won't drop the ball on that again right? :clueless:
