I feel like I am pounding the rubble after it has already been said by plenty. Oh well. Sorry everybody but here comes yet another long post.
I also do not agree with this change because I feel it hurts the new players a lot more then it would hurt the people who will „abuse“ the situation.
I see you made some buffs to other exp gains, none of which will compensate for the new player and I will go over each one below.
New players can not compact coal as it requires power to do, therefore it requires gems to make the power coils. Most new players are no longer new if they are mining gems.
Please do not try to use the rebuttal of „Well they can just go out and buy the coils“ because a games normal low and mid level Progression should not require things from other players.
Most new players wouldn’t know what to do with this and this also requires power. See above statement
Something that doesn’t require power. However it doses require Glowing Lamella which new players are not going to be able to collect themselves very well, unless they know what they are doing, and if they know what they are doing, then I don’t consider them new.
While this is something I can see a new player making. the buff to this is fairly small. and the amount of this a new player makes is also fairly small.
Requires power and again something a new player wouldn’t know what to do with in most cases.
My concern is how this might impact the rate new players will level up. I understand that in a perfect world there should be some grind for an „MMO“ Style game. However the situation is far from perfect. We need more new players. New players that are willing to stick around. And while this change doesn’t help the situation, I am just not sure how much it will hurt the situation.
Turning rock into stone is a very fundamental action that every new player will do and gives them a modest amount of exp from doing it.
I feel you should buff the exp gained by mining rock to compensate for this change. As this would remove the potential to transfer it over to an alt and level up the alts if that is what you are trying to stamp out.
