Gameplay Rules

Below are the major rules you should follow when playing in BPL. If there is a discrepancy between the information listed here and in the rules channel on Discord - the Discord one is correct.

Teams are restricted to a set of classes. We have a system in place to find characters that are the wrong class for your team. You may create a character belonging to a different class for the purpose of acquiring a specific skill gem, but you may not ascend on that character, nor will it be eligible for level points. If it determined that you are playing on an unascended character of the wrong class for longer than necessary to acquire those gems, the case will be treated as though you are in violation of this rule.

Each team has its own tag, related to the team's name. When you make your character, please ensure that your character name begins with the tag associated with your team. For example, if Badger were on team Malice, he would name his character MAL_Badger (or something along those lines). If you create a character with an incorrect tag with the intention of acquiring items from other teams, you will be discovered and banned.

BPL is a welcoming space, and it is important to ensure that everyone is being treated with respect. This includes members of opposing teams. Friendly banter is of course fine, but there will be a 1-warning system for over-the-line aggressiveness. Be a reasonable person. This is a cooperative event, and any attempts to scam other people will not be tolerated. If someone tries to scam you, please report it to the Command Team, with evidence if you have any, and it will be addressed immediately.

Helping the other teams undermines the integrity of the event, and we cannot allow it to occur while keeping the event fair. Please refrain from playing with people from other teams, and do not give items away to people on other teams for free.

As a reminder, account sharing is against GGG's Terms of Service and is strictly prohibited. If you are determined to be sharing an account in order to have that character online more often, you will be immediately banned from the event and reported to GGG staff.

Earning Points

In BPL teams compete in the following categories to earn the most points during the event. In categories that require you to submit an item, only items in team lead's stashes count.

If multiple teams complete a point goal with positional points at the same time all of those teams get the same amount of points for the highest position still not taken, and the next team to complete after those will get the spot equal to the amount of teams that completed the set faster than it. (ie. two teams tie for first place points, next team gets 3rd place points)

Personal Objectives

Personal score is given for reaching level thresholds, atlas point thresholds and fully ascending. Then the personal scores of every player in a team are added together, capping at 1500 pts. In addition, the change in uncapped team points will be ranked at three random checkpoint intervals (24-48h) for additional positional points each (12,9,6,3 pts respectively).

Personal objectives are not counted towards a team‘s score before the first checkpoint.

Players gain 3 points for completing each of the following objectives. You can only obtain each objective once per account.

Reaching Level 80
Completing Uber Lab
40 Atlas Completion OR Reaching Level 90

For atlas passive and fully ascending objectives you must allocate those passive points for the objective to be counted.

Unique Sets

List of unique items that can give points can be found on the ladder page or this sheet. Each unique item with a unique name collected from that list is worth 10 points. Additionally, the first team to complete a set gets an extra 10 points for finishing first. The second team to complete a set gets an extra 5 points for finishing second. Remaining teams to complete a set get no extra points for finishing the set. For the unique items that have different versions(art, modifiers, base etc.) but share a name, only one version is required for set completion.

Variants

For obtaining multiple versions of certain unique items (variants) with the same name, teams get 5 points for each version of said item.

Clarifications

Once a unique item has been submitted for scoring it cannot be taken out without a replacement.
The Eternal Struggle is worth 20 points (one copy counts in both Exarch and Eater sets).
For a unique item to count, it has to be identified.
Foiled items are not counted (i.e. Valdo's & Voidborn)

Item Points

List of replicas, curio uniques and experimental bases that can give points can be found on the ladder page or this sheet.

The first 80 replicas you acquire are worth 5 points - the remaining replicas are worth 10 each.
Each experimental base is worth 5 points.

Race Goals

Teams get positional points for completing each of the following race goals. The first team to complete a goal wins 50 points, second gets 40, and all other teams receive 30 points upon completion.

Rogue gear goal: all 56 different rogue gear items
Enchanting orbs 15 Tailoring or Tempering Orbs

Example: 7 Tailoring Orbs and 8 Tempering Orbs completes this bounty

Fossil Race

Teams get points for collecting 10 of each of the following fossils: Hollow Fossil, Tangled Fossil, Fractured Fossil, Faceted Fossil, Bloodstained Fossil, Glyphic Fossil.

The first team to complete this goal gets 50 points, second gets 40 points, and subsequent teams get 30 points.

Depth Race

When a player gets to 300 depth, a timer starts, the team with the individual that has the fastest time to 600 depth within the first 48 hours wins 50 points, second gets 40 points, and subsequent teams get 30 points.

This race must be done solo. Attaining a depth lower than 300 with a group and then doing solo to 600 will disqualified you from scoring in this race.

Cumulative Delve Depth

Total team delve progress is equal to a sum of everyone's individual solo depth progress past 100 depth. Each team gets 1 point per 10 total team delve progress up to a cap of 500 points.

Daily Quests

The number of dailies has been significantly reduced this BPL. There will only be 4 race dailies. These dailies will be released every 12 hours, starting 24 hours after the league starts (24, 36, 48, and 60 hours after the league starts).

The first team to complete a race daily gets 30 points and each subsequent team gets 5 less points down to 20 points each.

You have 24hrs to complete a daily once it is revealed.

Bounties Rules

The Bounty Section consists of a Race to Level 95, a Race to get 60 people with allocated Pantheon Powers, 7 Boss Bounties and a Bounty Board. There are no conditions for killing the bosses; the previous Race Conditions have been removed. Every boss bounty which can roll the “Overlord‘s“ modifier must be run with that modifier.

The first team to fully complete a boss gets 20 points and each subsequent team gets 2 less points down to 16 points each.

In addition, teams get 20 points per bounty board objective completed regardless of position.

Submission Rules

To submit a bounty you need to provide a video of completion in #bounty-submission channel in the BPL discord and include your team name, bounty name, and condition. The video must show the character name, league name, local clock and the condition required for the bounty if there are any. All players in a party must meet the condition. BPL staff will manually credit points for bounties after the verification, if there are questions about a bounty condition please confirm with a BPL Admin or Manager prior to beginning the map/fight.

Points will be awarded in order of completion if it is possible to determine it, and in the order of submission otherwise. If evidence is not submitted in a timely manner as described below, the order will be determined by submission time, not order of completion. If you are having issues submitting evidence, please contact a BPL manager.

You are required to submit any evidence that you completed a bounty (for example a screenshot) within 5 minutes of completing the bounty in the #bounty-submission channel. You have to edit the complete video into that message within 1 hour of completing it to be awarded your correct position for the completion. You can skip submitting a screenshot if you can provide a video within 5 minutes.

QUEST VERSIONS OF BOSSES CANNOT BE USED FOR BOUNTIES.

Collection Goals

Each team must collect a certain number of a specific item. There are 12 different collection goals which each give the same amount of points. The first team to collect the desired amount of items get placement points in order of completion. First completion gains 50 points, each subsequent completion gains 5 less points down to 40.

FAQ

Currently, you may not sign up explicitly with your friend. If they are on a different team, we ask you to follow the rules above and not play or collude with any individuals of other teams.

Yes, though points acquired by characters of classes and ascendencies you are not assigned to will not count for your team.

The nature of this event is to randomly assign players to get them into different gameplay and group play than they normally would. Embrace the RNG and improvise with your new teammates (and hopefully friends) to achieve victory. The sort is (with few exceptions) is random, and we try our best to make balanced teams.
