Gameplay Rules

Below are the major rules you should follow when playing in BPL. If there is a discrepency 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 leader's stashes count.

Personal Objectives
Unique Sets
Heisting
Delving
Dailies
Bounties

Completing any of the objectives listed below generates value that gets converted into points for the teams. Value gets averaged across the team for every player that reached level 50, multiplied by 16 and added to the score. If a player has multiple characters in the league, the account will get credit for the highest value per objective.

Characters below level 50 are excluded from scoring.

Value per level

1-49 : 1

50-69 : 2

70-79 : 2.75

80-89 : 3.25

90-100 : 3.5

Value gained for completing following goal:

Ascending: 40

Fully Ascending: 20

Level 100: 50

Allocating 40, 60, 100 Atlas Passives gives you another 10 value at each benchmark

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 15 points. Additionally, teams get positional points for fully completing a set. First team gets 25 points and each subsequent team gets 5 less. The Eternal Struggle is worth 30 points (one copy counts in both Exarch and Eater sets).

For the unique items that have different versions(art, modifiers, base etc.) but share a name you only need to submit one version. (for example Precursor's Emblem or Impresence with the same art or Atziri's Splendour or Watcher's Eye with different modifiers).

Once a unique item has been submitted for scoring it cannot be taken out without a replacement. If multiple teams complete a set at the same time all of them 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.

Joker Uniques:

Certain unique sets have joker uniques. Joker uniques can replace any other unique in the set it is from, for the purpose of scoring. A set can have any amount of joker entries in it, but each joker type can be used only once. Joker uniques do not grant any additional points to sets that are already completed and can be taken out from submission if you can complete a set without using it.

Alternate Quality Gem Bounty

This bounty requires manual submission in the #bounty-submission channel in the BPL discord. You are required to submit a screenshot of a full stash tab with those gems with “alternate quality” typed into the search bar and every gem highlighted for bounty to be accepted.

Blueprint Unique Bounty

Teams get positional points when they collect 70 different blueprint uniques (you can see the current amount you have on the heist page). First team to reach that goal gets 50 points, the second team gets 40 points and each subsequent team gets 5 less.

1st: 50

2nd: 40

3rd: 35

4th: 30

5th: 25

Teams get points for total team delve progress and order of reaching the deep delve goal. 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 600 points.

Deep Delving

Additionally, teams get positional points for the order in which deepest delver on a team reaches 800 depth

1st: 80

2nd: 70

3rd: 60

50 for any of the subsequent completions.

Starting from 12 hours into the league there are sets of 3 dailies published every 12 hours until the end of the event for a total of 7 sets. Each daily set is completable for 24 hours from the moment it gets published. Teams get 15 points for completing each daily and extra 15 bonus points for completing the entire set.

Teams get positional points based on the order in which they completed a given bounty, as indicated in the tables below. Bounty needs to be successfully completed to be eligible for points.

You cannot support any skill other than Portal with Cast on Death on your character when submitting bounties.

To submit a bounty you need to provide a video of completion in #bounty-submission channel in the BPL discord. That video must show the character name, league name, local clock and all conditions required for the bounty if there are any. BPL staff will manually credit points for bounties after the verification.

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.

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.
