Hi All, On economy the island leveling system seems to be off, specifically the leveling system is geared towards placing as many stone bricks as possible for the greatest $ to point ratio. The larger point earners tend to have alot of stone bricks placed normally spanning the max radius of the island and multiple levels even. I myself have my island sectioned off with multiple levels of stone bricks to increase my building space. This has given me more island levels than the hours I've spent making for example book cases. I think the block to level ratio needs to be reviewed. Not necessarily nerfing stone bricks but maybe increasing the levels given by other bricks to encourage more interesting island builds rather than stone brick islands. Thanks
Support I really think it would be a good time for a balance change on levels on skyblock the main source of levels is slime blocks these are just exploits in the system which people are using to come out top
I've never liked the levelling system and I think it is too late to really fix it. The only things that can be done now would be balancing the block types. I have certainly said more than enough on the matter last year. If you dangle leader boards at this community people will exploit it unless the system is not exploitable. How can things change now that everyone is so attached? Same issue with hopper and spawner limits. We can't lose players so compromises get made instead. But the mindset doesn't leave.
I agree that dramatically changing it in order to "fix" the situation would be a mistake but I think increasing the levels of other harder to obtain blocks would provide a good compromise. As I mentioned in my first post, book cases are hard to make due to the amount of resources required however they seem to give very few levels at the moment, lets increase things like this to give an advantage over stone bricks.
Also remember that once you get a good huge farm going bookcases, for example, are super easy to make. It may take more work but once the incentive is there to use a block to level up the island, people will use it a whole lot and the issue kinda remains
One could argue it would still be more effective to do stone bricks even with the increases of other blocks. Stone bricks would still be readily available we are the other bricks are not so much. Regardless I don't see it making the situation worse. It would at least give an incentive to use something different.
I believe other bricks also give the same amount of levels, but are harder to mass produce. Might be wrong though
Support maybe a check up would be nice for it considering pumpkins give like one of the most if I'm not correct
