How happy were you overall with the management and staff communication this map?
I’m very happy with the updates, better performances, more content, more crates & gadgets etc. I definitely feel a lot more engagement and community feedback listenings, like our ideas are making it up to the team and are actually being acknowledged. Some things can be still improved but when it comes to please the community, it was very well done. :) Nice job.
If it gives less then that mean people don’t make money as fast and that may lead to people not getting money faster when spending on valuable items from my perspective. But your probably right and I’ll believe you on this one cheater.
Personally, I think quests need a major update. And I really wish that there was a way to have the economy not based on an item in games, such as gold, but something that you can’t obtain via mining AND you can’t also obtain via farms. I wish we had a central sell merchant that would buy items for a certain amount per each type of block based off the rarity, but only items that can’t be truly farmed.
So basically, if he buys dirt, he would give you one dollar for every stack of dirt, but if he buys it say diamonds, it would be like five dollars per every 10 diamonds or something. But something that you cannot get from an easy automatic farm so like no blaze rods, no crops, so that way nobody could just farm money.
I have been playing a bit of Invaded Lands’ survival and if that’s the kind of economy you are referring to, I don’t really think it suits Munchy.
No matter which trades that merchant will have, as long as it contains something farmable, even though there’s something worth more but is rarer, there will be people that will farm…
Plus, I’m just not a fan of those type of economy. To me, mining for ressources/gold makes more sense than giving tons of stuff to one dude and get money nobody knows where it comes from.
Edit (personal take): Genuinely, I don’t think survival is facing an economy issue if it’s not the existence of gold farms that is still odd and I believe you felt it too, which is why you’d want to see an economy that does not rely on farms at all.
I have really been open minded to what it takes to make a gold farm and how it works, tested many and witnessed people using it, before some gold farmers come and tell me I’m misinformed…, but even with the nerf, I do not believe farms like that should even exist and it will be fun to see how people would actually grind without gold farms because the economy would really change if so.
Now gold farms killed means less options for people to make gold, only mining (regular & blast mining) and shops (including auctions etc because I don’t wanna categorise this way of making gold as it’s not as constant) would be left. And here, it would be great maybe to reconsider naturally generated structures with gold inside of it, and if it really is such a big deal because of bastions, make it so that not every bastion has gold in it.
i couldn’t agree more, the economy is just so much different and it doesn’t feel like a challenge anymore to get items with them being so cheap. some items last season were so much more then they are now. I just don’t think its much fun for people only having to mine to make a decent amount of gold.
also I like the open system of quests and you choosing the ones u want/dont want to do (season 3).
Overall, this season wasn’t that bad, the bosses were fun. i liked that
Ok gang, so let’s start by all agreeing that a full functional gfarm makes more than mining or bastion raiding. If you don’t believe me do the math you dummy…
So now I’ll come up with quick solutions
1. keep gfarms as they are rn, get rid of all gold from structures, and keep mining as it is.
2. revert gfarms back, bring back all gold to structures, and buff mining.
3. keep gfarms as they are rn, only keep some gold in structures, and keep mining as it is.
Okay solutions done, let’s talk about the current state, shall we?
Some people might say that the economy is doing wonderful! But imo it’s just meh, making hella money and just being stupidly rich is what makes survival one of my favorite gamemodes ever!!! And seeing it almost impossible to make even 100k just feels truly depressing…
Edit: OMG SORRY FOR RESPONDING TO YOU CANDLE!!!
Edit 2: this was only made to help cure my boredom, don’t take it that seriously!!!
Shrug. If there’s a merchant that defines all prices, it isn’t really enjoyable as well in my opinion. Having somewhat control of the economy, fixing prices and seeing them rise and fall makes things interesting.
I do get the point that mining isn’t fun for everyone, which is why some other ways to get gold should actually be thought of as that’s something people have been claiming. Bringing back structures with gold inside could be a glimpse of a solution because you don’t have to mine at all and it’s decent thanks to bastions.
Hell yeah. Thing is even on season 2, gold farms were not even this popular and people managed to get a good amount of gold. Mining was great (people might say busted) and there were many players which is also why having a successful mall shop was extremely worth it.
The newer seasons have less players, meaning that shops wouldn’t make as much as before and with the mining nerfs (100% double drop to 35%, efficiency 6 killed ), you are kinda restricted to blast mining so you’d need tnt aka sand and gunpowder.
I get that, I think bringing back the old mining perks (100% DD and maybe bringing the eff 6 books back) would really help and people would actually enjoy mining and making money at the same time. The bastions were a good source since mining was terrible, nobody wanted to do it since it got nerfed so hard. It was also much easier to fly around and collect gold blocks.
