But it is winnable by investing gems and figuring out the patterns yourself. You don’t need others to tell you if you just look at a finished underspire map and look at the emerging patterns.
It’s not like it’s impossible. It doesn’t need extensive testing. One or two finished underspires should be enough if you pay attention.
Yes, everyone can get the info, if not through other means then by figuring it out themselves.
Yes, you can.
Invested doesn’t mean that info is hard to aquire, just that there is even an interest in doing so. Either by figuring it out yourself or by using one of the many resources.
But many players don’t want to do either. Those are the super casual players.
You’re not one because you’re already here. That is more than the “just let me play, I don’t want anything else” players are interested in.
I didn’t say invested in the community. Invested in the game is enough.
Players figured out the patterns, not by illegal means but by observation. You can do the same for yourself.
I’m not talking about any class of “elite” players.
What’s currently happening is that everyone gets punished, and I mean literally everyone, because a few players min/max everything (devs are in the wrong for doing that).
Several nerfs to the vault? Because of the devs using some hardcore players who min/maxed for measuring, everyone is getting less now. That especially punishes newer and less hardcore players.
Also, don’t get me wrong, I’m not blaming the players.
I’m blaming the devs here because it’s just wrong to
A) punish everyone because of some overachievers
B) use overachievers to measure outcome
C) implement patterns and then are considering changing patterns once we figured it out
In terms of dungeon, okay, I didn’t like it but I can sort of understand taking the seeding away (or changing it?).
But for underspire, everyone can figure it out. You don’t need other people to tell you.
It helps but it’s not necessary.
Instead of taking it away for everyone, and costing everyone more gems (because you should know that’s how it would turn out) they could give other players the necessary hints to figure it out if they really cared about fairness (they don’t).
I’m a little mad (not at you, of course, or at any player) so maybe I’m being too sarcastic and not stating as clearly what I mean. So I am sorry if you thought I wanted a secret society of elite players or something.
I love that we’re helping each other.
I’m mad that the devs/CX thinks that this is something that needs to be punished.
