I suspect I may not be the only one wondering about this, but I think there should be a way to check how many boss points we have in some fashion other than Candor. Especially now that Boss Points are calculated for a quest ingame. I do not know the best way to do this but perhaps there is someone who does. I hope there is enough interest to make it happen.

Maybe, if you created a poll, the devs could see if there is a great need for this or it could be done after some more important projects? It would be a nice feature, to be sure.

remember making a poll is not what gets content into the game, im aware it usually happens well hidden but devs are working on things less obviously but even more needed for tmw. boss points as an endgame thingy is really at the other end of current hot development. however volunteering is always welcome (c.f. crushes remark in the not so serious bot world topic)

millies hero needs a bit of a cleanup atm but if any then it should probably be her to tell a player about the amount of awesome (lame/okayish/nice/great/awesum/just wow) he is. (i abstain from suggesting a blunt uve got 10 bosspoints mecha npc)

I don't see any reason there shouldn't be an NPC for this, but I don't think there is one now.

Now, how will it fit into the game? Tie with monster points? Or just Parua tell it for free?

Couldn't Milly do this since she is the reason we gather them in the first place?

Once you have talked to her the first time she could say something along the lines of...
"I see you are becoming quite the hero. You have accumulated ___ boss points"

Nice idea, K8e. It always causes a lot of questions from players.

I would think it would tie in well with the Monster Point NPC, but you could be able to get it there or either of the two boss point battle bitches.

He need more ways to spend them as well.

I just think it would streamline the quest for some players. I like the Milly suggestion myself, but that is just my view.

Well I know no one would complain if we made it more like magic were it told you but not exactly. I do however believe we need to put a Boss Points vendor in game, currently everyone sitting in candor is just racking them up. There is no reason why we can't use older rares / hard to obtain quest items as stuff to buy with boss points.

Yeah, good idea k8e. Makes good sense.

Make the player loose 100 boss points every time he checks how many he has

How is that fair? The point is to make the game more enjoyable to play rather than the opposite...

+1, I do support this idea.
Maybe we could extend it to level99 players who could use the extra experience they get to buy rares?

The problems with bosspoints is that they aren't limited. Magic has a max of 8000xp therefore it's rather accurate however with bosspoints we can only guess how much people have and create messages for it.

I think we could simply add a function to Parua where you can ask your boss points. As he hands out the most I think this makes the most sense.
