This is perplexing. On one hand, this was achieved because a few things fell in line. Max Xstals, Multiple Crux-Chest, probably a few other plunder spells as well. Looking at actions, it also looks like Chaos also soloed the item phase. So it had to cost money. His seal His xstals. 5-6 dollar seal with 6 dollars worth of xstals so Chaos spent 11 or 12 dollars on this eb depending on if the seal was bought discounted or not. He is also in the Gap player stage of building and the jump of gold contributes to the jump in cost per upgrades. It also puts him in the Active Player Ally market which allies go for a heavy price. So on one hand, I can understand how and why a plunder gain could be so large. Then on the other hand. I feel it is harmful that players can plunder this much on a single Epic Battle. It degrades the worth of stripping players and stripping leaderboard players (because they can start to build back what was stripped and stolen a whole lot faster than ever before.) It also inflates the ally market. Which is something our ally market just can't afford. Now, yes, this was event gold. Though we seem to run a 2 week long event with a boast of crux chest every single month. So I am perplexed. I see and understand the reasoning, though I also see and understand how it hinders the community. My current solution to the issue is something that will not occur. Which is to slash the amount of plunder made. That or get rid of Crux Chest forever. Though so many Epic Battle players love Crux Chest, I feel like they are here to stay My other solution is to have clans unite and farm the holy hell out of the big clans and players who stack like this. That, also, is unpractical because even OSW players will take advantage of these plunder boost. It allows them to build stats and banks. Also I have been apart of movements that aim to unite to fix kaw, both peacefully and violently. In multiple cases, with both views, heads and personality only clashed. Discuss What is your opinion on Crux Chests, high plunder, and the effect of these gold raining events? Do you think it hinders or helps the kawmmunity? If it helps, why do you think it helps? If it hurts, why do you think it hurts? The intentions of this thread to discuss all of y'all's opinions. It is not necessarily meant to change anything, it is meant to open up a dialogue about this situation.
They can also run an hte train and not waste any time on their crux and even use 47 xtals in the span of 2 hours, but hey this game is already basically dead.
You can't use 47 xstals in 24 hours. Xstals have a cap at 26 I believe. It's been awhile since I actually maxed xstalled so the exact number escapes me.
You can use 47 in two hours, in twenty four, kind of, but you can drop 47 in two Say I was a Build clear hansel stripping "UsernameHere" Of 50T by myself. Id track and get the timeslot. 1 hour and 45 minutes into his off time Id drop one xtal. The next day I'd strip at 1 hour and 10 minutes into his off time, I could drop 23 crystals before i was capped, BUT my xtal timer would reset at 1 hour and 45 minutes into his off time, giving me 35 minutes to drop 23 xtals before I could drop ANOTHER 24.
A build complete hansel with EE and 50% extra pay HTE plus probably the 25% boar bonus as well as stacked crux chests. Sounds like the perfect money making machine.
Darth pretty much explained it, but yup I can drop 1 xtal at 3:00pm come back the next day activate my Crux at 2:00pm use 23 xtals, and the use another 24 after 3:00pm when the timer resets. So you have 47 xtals within 2 hours and within the crux.
Also keep in mind if Chaos ran his eb correctly he followed this timeline. - Open Eb - Drop the full bars he had from before eb started. - Xtal until item phase - Run item Phase - On the Sixth xtal skim until 20,000 left then drop both bars to empty and hit eb form pin till pots Would be close to 3.6 hours of skimming eb. Even a 20m spy attack hansel can make 300b in a 4hr hte without the use of xtals or crux
I totally understand man. Honestly, I believe with the implementation of T7, the game has changed forever. It basically has resulted in crazy inflation, never before seen in the games history. As can be shown with the current ally market. Crux chests are a double edged sword. Crux may help many within this community in growth, but also make the value of gold less, as it's more easier to earn it due to this temporary plunder bonus.
100% original plunder, + 60% Prolific Plunderer + 100% Crux Chest + 200% Golden Crux + 25% Boar Banquet Frenzy + 13% Blood Rains Plunder = 498% Please kindly correct me if I'm wrong though, Chaos!
I would have spiked my phone into a wall if I went through all that tapping to get Aqua. Lol. I'm officially requesting that IF a player receives an element drop from an eb, THEN the player gets to choose what element they want to receive UNLESS it is a double drop. ---all we can do is wish.
It's just a number... Plunder rises, and so allies and lands will rise...it'll all even out. So we "earn" plunder with 9 zeros instead of 7 and feel like we're rich...but soon enough 9T will buy what 90m used to...and the next lands will start at 1T. So what feels at first like a step ahead quickly just becomes the norm, but the devs pay their bills in the meantime...
