The change is more xp per level, but more cubits per level, when above 50. It ends up working out to about half the cubits per xp in the current test environment.
I think I remember James making it sound like this was because people won’t need as many cubits for respecs and skill pages in the new system? I’m not sure who is spending half their cubits on respec points, though?
Ye Well as said before it takes longer To obtain cubits and as just builder Only have to build entire village To get even close To level up. At least leveling up For a Core builder Who uses not prestige value blocks is somewhat doable atm. But after update… Lol you need a full city… And that you need plots To get building space… You run out those fast
Yeah… Building XP needs to be increased for sure. If I was designing it, I would probably try taking like half the crafting xp and move it to building and see if that plays better.
With the abundance of gleamball xp, I don’t think there is any reason to keep the game’s xp balanced to reduce place/break xp farming like it seems to be.
Game mode balance aside… IMO, longer time between levels is fine, but reducing F2P plot rewards is hostile.
Lol don’t ask me how many I’ve spent on cleanse and page wipes
So this is your fault‽
Also a giant KILLER COOKIE
I always wish i had more plots im maxed on ny main plotter too:( but farming for lvls is so borring to me who is mainly a builder. Atm I’ve even gone into a slump and am playing other games for the time being. While i wait for the motivation to return to my build
I had the same problem, and that resulted in a year-long hiatus from the game on my end…
Atm my participation has been reduced to fueling my beacons. And since i just used up the last of my usable rough oort (saving the rest for update) i think ill just let my personal portals shut down.
I’d reclaim the Oort and save it for next time you get the itch.
Thats pretty smart actually
Maybe something i should do lol
I remember for the longest time I’d just warp to nearest portal network I found in the beginning by saving the location. Didn’t get portal for good month or 2.
When I took a break, I kept my shards in check, letting my portal lapse as I went.
…though i also realised that a 2x2 portal is 3 times more expensive than a 1x2, and quickly altered its design on return. lmao
even cooler to have one at 10,000? 
probably not.
might give the whole farming cubits a rest now…want to get back to building 
Can we change this thread to a petition? 
I made this appeal to better judgment in the main update thread after it hit me how few cubits I’ve earned in the last 6 months, but the pressure has been mounting as we get closer to release and I have become discouraged to the point that it’s killing my creativity, earning me even fewer cubits…
How are we going to earn double the xp just because we are able to have more skills on one page?
Our restricted skill page wasn’t holding us back from cubits other than some indirect ways, like dying while surface gathering (now we can be a full health tank to collect mats on higher tier). This update is thankfully erasing the inconvenience of the skill cap but wasn’t going to provide much of an xp advantage in the first place.
I have mats to craft for xp, and slingbows and a good fighter page, hammers and a good mining page. What I don’t have is the time or patience to stop building/mentally developing the build to go off and do something that isn’t building.
I’ve been building in someone else’s beacon for 6 months, not using my own plots, and I think I’ve earned maybe 500 plots. With the 10% bonus. The anti-bot measures in place right now are screwing us out of a lot of rightfully earned xp, and the xp values for my choice of blocks are dismal.
When I consciously think about it, I enjoy building as much as ever. But when I’m creatively blocked up and I know that building this whole wall of rock, brick, foliage, and ice is going to net me like… 100k xp in 6 hours… I just naturally don’t ■■■■■■■ feel like it. I’d rather fold laundry and watch a show I’ve seen 10 times because a tidy closet feels better than half a level of xp. And this is pre-update…
Please stop. I am sliding into a depressive state
I haven’t change my play style in awhile. For a bit I wasn’t building much and completed all the atlases. And was still crafting a lot of iron even though I wasn’t building with it. I got up to about 25000 cubits. Now every time I get enough for 80 plots coffer I buy them and keep those just in case. Haven’t worried about plots in some time now. I do smash gleam for levels when I’m bored and am under the 25000 cubit mark.
That was me when I started. For the first 7 months of game play. Started on Raxxa and the first portal network I found was Tiggs Tunnels. I had (and still do have) the hub on Raxxa bookmarked. I warped to it almost daily before I had enough oort from solo hunting to set up a portal.
I think Tigg left and passed the network on to @Solgato.
This is why I like living next to portaliferrific people, if I see my own local portals burning oort right in front of my eyes while I’m trying to stay motivated to sort my bricks or whatever, I just get jumpy.
