Global Nerf Island value of stone bricks.

Drogo believes the precedent on this this decision was set with the nerfing of slime blocks. Stone is far more easily obtainable than slime blocks.
Admittedly, masses of slime blocks also results in local lag.

 

As one of those people with the beautiful stone brick cubes, I agree. I did it to cover up the massive redstone I had at the time and now I'm too lazy to remove it. My is level is almost 2500, and about 90% of that is from stone bricks. I feel like if they either bumped other blocks to be higher again or nerf stone bricks, because tbh its a bit insane how much island level xp they give.

Super Support!

 

100% Support.

When Slime was being exploited as the island leveling block of choice, no time was wasted in nerfing it dropping all those top islands out of the top levels.

Now another block is being exploited, and we'd expect the same and fair treatment.

 

support - I have a lot of levels from just making levels to sort my island into zones with stone bricks, and i've not made any features on my island really, but only a light nerf, no more then 50%, a lot of solid build still use these blocks well without looking like a grey blob, e.g Almeara's island, but i think we should also consider rebuffing some blocks/items up in value, things like tall grass, flowers, fences, cobble wall, ect should be worth more along with other decor type blocks, if someone makes a awesome park/castle/nether fort build the blocks should reflect that and at the current setting they dont seem to have much effect, and perhaps a vote based list of islands too? something where people can vote once a week and have that separate to /leaderboards, to create the best of both worlds so to speak, I've had a hard time finding cool builds and something vote based would be great instead of a blocks placed value system, at least then we have a chance it'll account for builder taste and real people feed back

 

Long overdue bump.

 

All of your analysis is pointless as Drogo never said he ‘would’ do this but said he ‘could’. Very different indeed. Also Drogo never said anything about Woroes’ island.
If your going to go to so much effort to argue a point, make sure you first understand what that point is or risk looking foolish.
The nerfing of stone brick will aid others more that Drogo. As of last night Drogo was rated 1st on leaderboards through use of high value blocks in creative builds. Some masses of some blocks but that seems to be the thing to do.

 

this statement is idiotic. you can't make an argument that blatantly dismisses another counter-argument for no reason at all. bot placement is completely legal and very easy to setup. on economy i had already done this with a 99x99x256 stone brick cube and it built 64 layers in 12 hours, as i'm sure you could calculate this could make 194.048 levels by placing blocks for 8 days. now factor in the stone generation, 10 stone/sec is reasonable. as you said you need 10 million stone bricks so 1000000 seconds or 16k minutes or 277 hours or 11 days. making the time to get a full island of stone bricks on economy 20 days, and you do not even have to be at your computer.

for skyblock you can half the values as you can have double the amount of work proceeding at once. 10 days to complete this feat is reasonable.

you simply cannot say something is invalid/foolish/idiotic when you decide to use the 'regular' case example as a scenario. you must use the best possible case as an example or your statement cannot be taken as a true reflection of making someone elses statement invalid.

 

The entire analysis is not about your island or anyone it's about there is no need to nerf it. Cause no one is going to do it.

No, I'm calling his statement invalid because he wants it nerfed so he can keep his #1 stop easily many players agree with me on this.

 

why everyone so angry

 

Again you are incorrect. Drogo has top spot and can easily keep it as he has 10,000 level worth of high value blocks that he could place in a short amount of time.
That would be 500,000 stone bricks to match it.
This request is more going to benefit others.

 

Ahem, incorrect. skaM can easily take that stop and keep it as he has hundreds of thousands of stone bricks. skaM is AFK placing stone bricks.

 

To quote you, skaM, “It's a foolish and idiotic task.” and now you say you’re going to do it.
Drogo figures that makes sense.
Should you actually achieve it, your actions will only give more justification for Drogo’s suggestion so thank you for that.

 

Support,

As said previously by other players, top island should be islands that have taken time to build, islands that require creativity.

Stonebrick shouldn’t be this over-powered. Plus I don’t see why they are in the first place. To craft them you simply need smooth stone which you can acquire from player shops that sell almost a full inventory just for 1 grass.

 

Just wait.

 

To put the island level value of stone bricks in perspective, they are worth the same as terracotta which, relative to stone is very expensive.
Drogo has not placed much diorite but it appears its island level values is half that of stone bricks!

 

Bumping this.
Devs went to the effort of implementing this feature and a lot of players went to great effort to create great islands. Don’t let people make a mockery of it.

 

Anyone who doesn't think stone bricks should be nerfed is foolish. Most my island is stone bricks, and I fully support nerfing its value. Its value is too high.

Ive even compared it to nether bricks, which is more expensive to make/obtain and stone bricks have a higher value. That alone is ridiculous.

 

Support, I think valuable blocks placed should be the true reflection of the top islands, not most cheapest blocks placed.
