Suggestion #14240

Regarding Survival Balancing

While the survival economy did need a balance overhaul, the current implementation feels too much. I think some adjustments should be made to how certain systems work on Survival and here are a few suggestions.

1. Vote Crates

Please bring back Iron Golem, Cow, etc back into Vote Crates. Because of the reward percentages, most Vote Crates only give Shard Box I, Money Bag I, or Soul Pouch I making them feel unrewarding. I suggest adding rewards similar in SC to EC, excluding wands and the unechanted diamond/netherite junk. The drop rates for Harvesters, Chunk Collectors, and Spawner Extractors should also be increased to around 0.03%, as the current rates are extremely low. Add all boosters back into Vote Crates.

2. Event Crates

Harvesters, Spawner, Spawners Extractors etc should be returned back to event crates but with reduced drop rates if balancing is a concern. Eg, instead of a 2.5% chance to obtain a Harvester, the chance could be reduced to around 0.5% or 1%. Also boosters should be removed from Event Crates and moved to vote crates since it feels more appropriate. Add wands to Event Crates Instead of it being in Boss Crates.

3. Boss Crates

Wands should be removed from Boss Crates because they are generally undesirable rewards for such a difficult content. Although some wands, such as the Tinker Wand and Magic Wand, are valuable, they do not justify having all the lower value wands in the Boss Crate reward pool. Moving wands to Event Crates would make much more sense.

4. Wand and Booster Adjustments

Some wands currently have very little practical use. The Dynamite Wand should be removed entirely because it has no use in Survival. The Experience Wand, Crusher Wand, and Crystalizer Wand should have their durability increased from 10 to 20 uses. Tinker Wand/Magic Wand is already very op for survival and should be nerfed/removed. If going the nerf route, reduce durability from 10 - 5.

The Soul Booster should have its duration increased from 60 seconds to 120 seconds to encourage players to farm souls instead of purchasing them with coins. Also Durability Booster should have its usage restricted on PvP arenas since its way overtuned for fights. It makes sense to have them in boss fights but not in PvP.

5. BattlePass
While the general need for a nerf to bp rewards is understandable, the current reward pool is more punishing to normal player right now since its mostly junk. I suggest reworking the random reward pools to just Vote Keys/Bp Keys/Resource keys instead of the other junk.

Another Adjustment could be that players can earn 1x BP key if they complete **all their weekly quests**. These changes would get some pressure off legit players and can lead them to do bp without it being underwhelming.

6 Tokens
While EC can never have tokens via voting since its easily abusable, i suggest a compromise, make it so players get a fixed 25 tokens ONLY IF they vote on all voting sites. Most sites already handle VPN/Bot automations already, this would make voting feel more rewarding.
