I think isn't the play. Especially since as far as I know this is the first time doing this and with $100 package. I don't believe they have never offered this before on any previous purchases ever or ever discounted gems ever before. So this seems uncharacteristically. And we all know they make more than enough money without this type of promotion. That said. I am thinking about buying it anyways XD.
There's a significant number of Skyblock players that are willing to spend IRL on the server. The number of those players that are willing/able to spend $100 in 1-shot is much much lower. Rather than 1 in every 500 players that spend on the server getting this item (which they can chose to keep OR sell for insane amounts of coins (it sold for over 500m at first btw)) they should've made it a bonus item that came with the $10 or maybe $20 gem pack. That way plenty of the skin could've been introduced into the economy as affording $10 or $20 is much more ideal for most players on the network. It also shows the community that the developers are willing to reward ALL patrons, regardless if they're able to spend $10 or $100 on their favorite minecraft server. Make sense? Otherwise it looks like the only "important" customers are the big-spenders, and quite frankly, that's a load of crap.
and realistically, they likely could've made more money from making it a $10 or $20 gempack item. I bet for every 1 person willing to spend $100 there's probably 100 people that would spend $10
They coulda made so much more money if they made gems 10% off, it's still enticing for the whales (stock up on gems now), aswell as being a plus for normal players (no need to spend 100$), and would also help the gem economy. Coulda killed 3 birds with one stone, but instead killed one bird and resurrected 2.
I have no problem with the skin. I think skyblock's monetization has been extremely good. Its also not like you pay $100 for the skin, you pay $100 for gems and get the skin as a bonus.
the pest changes alpha was also quite well done imo, and it has resulted in my favorite update of the last year, genuinely. literally all of my complaints with farming progression and its place as a skill were fixed with these changes, and i am enjoying it a ton rn. and it didnt even require a ridiculously convoluted and confusing series of dozens of changes like the mining update (which i’d argue wasnt even as effective in achieving its goals as the farming update). so yea my overall opinion of the game is significantly better than a few months ago, especially after the incredibly questionable museum changes. a skin or two doesnt bother me, because i feel like the money is probably going to be used well given the pattern of how things are going recently.
on the actual hand tho its not a 100 dollar skin at all you all seem to be forgetting that you also get the 100 dollar pack of gems.... if it was 100 for only the skin yes super scummy but that is not the case at all personally as someone who buys gems often i only go for the 100 dollar pack for the best value so this is just a free skin to me
@@toxicreflexes7236 yeah but it is unreasonable to act like needing to spend $100 to get something is the same as it being free. its real value is less than $100 but more than $0, and im not sure where it is, but i’d guess it is somewhere on the higher end of that range because so few skyblock players have access to $100 they can drop whenever they want
here's some p2w features in skyblock: wardrobe slots elizabeth gem upgrades mvp+ travel scrolls getting coins from real life money here's what this skin adds in terms of pay to win: getting coins from real life money how does this change anything??
Wardrobe slots are a QOL, travel scrolls are a QOL, gems is a gray area and gem upgrades too. I can see your points but the travel scrolls and wardrobe are a quality of life and a convenience since you don’t have to swap out armor sets or use aotv more often than other people have to
i think the skin price is fair, people are saying "oh its paying $100 for a skin" but actually you are paying $100 for the gems you'd usually get + a skin. Besides its cosmetic, it does not even effect gameplay for people at all besides maybe lower cookie price because people are buying gems for the skin now, if anything its a good thing.
First off the issues include 1. It promotes and improves pay to win. 2. Everyone who paid the 100 prior during times when events normally occurs missed out on this. 3. People that buy gems generally don’t spend them on booster cookies.
@@ienztine”promotes and improves pay to win” what pay to win? Who are you competing with huh? This is a fking pve game, if you’re complaining about pay for faster progress in pve game then you need to touch some grass.
@@ienztine so u think its easy to maintain a gamemode without adding Things Like that of course it is Kind of p2w but thats how it works If a Game doesnt have a monthly subscription especially in mmo's If u dont Like IT dont buy it then it wont affect u.
Its a cosmetic skin, its not a big issue. The lack of content is a problem but it is a separate problem. We have fire sales all the time, how did you think people got the gems to buy those items?
I think the specific problem in this case is that the investment to get the skin is $100, rather than firesales, which usually can be bought for $10-20
you cant be this dense. its an absurd price for a cosmetic item. its fucking stupid. they make enough money from ranks and other purchases, but now its just pure greed and absolutely scummy. the normal fire sales are like $10 which is still dumb, but not as horrific.
@@Derailious Then again - it's a bonus to buying gems rather than the skin price. So while You pay 10-20$ for a skin on fire sales - You GET technically a skin for buying gems here. Obviously if someone wants that skin specifically then it 'costs' 100$, but You can buy it from people via coins in-game, it's not soulbound, so really the only downside is locking people out of it where the deal is too expensive to take (myself included, there are better ways to spend money personally).
Lack of content is hardly an issue, it's just most of the sweat community aren't affected by alot of these changes like pests or mining. The whole earlygame has been changed this year but "lack of updates" is an issue? Just wait for foraging, shit takes time
I spent multiple thousands of dollars on games like Valorant and Overwatch and some of the hundreds of that hefty amount I paid were for exclusive skins like "Arcane" skins on Valorant or Event skins on Overwatch. If you play a game that you already are willing to pay a couple bucks to look cool, it isn't a crime or unfair for game publishers to take advantage of that. They run the server with the money that you pay willingly. Some people buy a skin to actually look cool while some buy it to make money off of it. Not everything is always meant for everyone.
Which makes it even more rewarding. In Valorant, you buy a weapon skin and that's it. You gain nothing, but Riot gains a lot of money. Meanwhile, in this case, not only you already gain what you're supposed to get PLUS an extra reward.
@@diedeath5805 Why does it matter really. If someone has 500mil and some other person has 2mil. You are not hindered, stopped or impacted in any game play related way by that guy with money. If he could buy hyperion and 1-shot you in pvp thats unfair, but if he buys hyperion and you can't its not unfair in anyway. So i dont see that it has ingame value as a problem at all. Its just rewarding for the people who buy it.
Apart from the $100 skin, they really have improved at communication to the community. Let's just hope they'll get the game itself right. (*Couch* cough, powder mining *cough *cough)

Its a very bad direction for the game to take, when games start focusing on the whales the rest of the playerbase becomes krill, you dont need it but you cant say its dumb to complain on essentially becoming a 2nd class citizen in game from both the whales and from the devs
The 100$ cosmetic is just failed marketing, unless they plan on doing it more often (then this one is just a test). Should have waited for a content drop but whatever. Lower cookie prices is cool
I love spending hundreds of dollars on useless cosmetic items that has no effect on the game, whilst we (the community) suffer the rampage of the lack of updates.
People have the wrong mindset about the skin... 100$ gem purchases have always been a thing... theyre just adding a little something extra as a gift for black friday and people are complaining?? You dont need the skin bruh. It doesnt give progression. If youre so OCD or some shit that you need every skin in the game, that's your problem.
swipe is used in no one taps except midas staff, which is already being removed by removing swipe on rcm damage, every change to swipe beyond removing non melee swipe is a bad change to the game
Thats what Happens in mmo's that let people Put them Up for Sales and also it Just add a Money maiking method for normal profiles which is never a Bad Thing having a large amount of ways to make Money is Always good in mmo's.
I stopped playing a while ago and I’ve now got no clue what is going on, can somebody explain what has been added, removed or just overall happened since the rift update?
it does incentivize spending money on gems but people need to remember it is not a 100 dollar skin its a free skin when you buy 100 dollars worth of gems, for the players that are free to play its purchasable on the ah if you want one just like every other cosmetic in the game
Hey Rail, Just a correction: booster cookies are essentially a monthly subscription. Most players have booster cookies active, which cost ~$17/month. Like in other MMOs such as WOW, you can purchase memberships with in game currency, but the money is coming from somewhere. When players buy booster cookies on the bazaar, their monthly subscription is essentially being subsidized by whales.
Booster Cookies arent actually Essential they are Just qol U can easily max a Profile without consuming a single Booster Cookie, ofcourse maxxing skills will Take approx. 50% longer but it still doesnt make it Essential to Play the Game wich majes it Not a monthly subscription to Play the Game.
Unlike WoW/OSRS/Etc parts of the game aren’t locked behind having it active. I don’t know if you’ve played them but a lot of content is locked behind those memberships. If anything all booster cookies do is speed up progression which could easily just be done without them.
@cyn5185 You’re right that they’re not necessarily the same, but I feel they’re similar enough given the vast majority players above a certain stage have one active at all times. That’s definitely an important distinction to keep in mind though.
@@ArcityArc Right, once they can buy the convenient thing because they make enough money they do. But as said no actual content is locked behind them. Just because it’s something people later on in progression have doesn’t mean it’s a requirement.
@@SomeCowguyyeah I think same damage ist fair for infernal because yes that’s lower than previously but now it swipes every hit which it didn’t before. That’s why I think that would be perfect. And then obviously less damage for fiery and less for burning and so on
What if the mountaintop update does actually exist in the main server already and the admins just were double checking it's possible to access? It isn't evidence against it!!! [INSANITY] achieved
why is everyone complaining about the gem rune skin and not fire sales lmao fire sales are the same concept just in a different form and they do that 10x more often plus cookie prices are going down because of this
regarding the power orb skin: if i understand it correctly, people are mad cause its limited edition and expensive? pls correct me if im wrong, but if thats the case im sorry but imo skins are not necessary to have and hypixel didnt do anything wrong. skins shouldnt be seen as a money investment(altho the generell opinion of skins is exactly that). they should just be for the people who want to support hypixel and have the money and are willing to spend it. skins have gotten to the point where everyone wants them and it feels like kind of a necessity to have? again if im wrong about this pls correct me
Bro why is everyone freaking out about the power orb skin? It’s literally free as you’re paying for the gems… if you weren’t getting the gems then sure but it’s arguable just an incentive for purchasing.
Aurora getting buffed while mage is the strongest for kuudra and outside kuudra while Terror gets nerfed everywhere despite term being mediocre everywhere but mastermode is kinda lame - Reducing damage for damage phase rlly isn't a "buff" for terror, making it just a heavy nerf instead of a "rework" like crimson
I mention the Endstone Sword being used as a way to be able to 1 shot voidglooms and admins listened... MY INFLUENCE HAS REACHED A NEW PEAK MY EGO HAS BEEN STROKED BEING A FORMER NO LIFE PAID OFF FOR ONCE LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO
honestly I like the 100$ skin, nobody is forced to buy it, it doesn't look amazing, it's not soul bound, there's no physical benefit to having it(so not anything resembling P2W), and the real only benefit is that booster cookies will finally drop a bit lol
I mean 100$ skin I totally agree other games have it way way worse Personally I'd let it go just once but the limited time part is totally scummy With the alpha stuff seems pretty good but then again I am a dungeons sweat so none of that really effects me Although I do like they are actually telling us whats going on
People who complain about the skin are just finding something to take their anger out on. The skin is not $100, the gems are, if you buy the bundle because of the skin that’s your problem (I already bought it and I’m malding help(I bought it for the gems I wanted the gems))
To everyone saying this skin isnt p2w you need to understand why. This skin is a cosmetic sure it also comes with gems but its a scummy mobile game tactic were you spend money to save time if a game lets you spend money to save time compared to others then it can be considered a p2w game.
I think the problem is that people look down on p2w already and adding another reason to do it while only enticing the people who are willing to spend more. Its just greedy and nobody likes greedy companies
the crimson changes as of right now are a HUGE nerf. my enderman boss times got 14 seconds added onto them (on average). even after upgrading my crimson set from fiery 5 star to infernal 15 star my bosses are about 10 seconds longer than before
Be Happy its only 10-15 secs t4 emans where never meant to be killed this fast, the faster they can be killed the more worthless the Drops will get, which is Not a good Thing when we are talking about judgement Cores for example.
Who cares about the skin. It takes them barely any time to make it and the skin comes with the gems, not costs $100 worth of gems. People buying the $100 dollar pack of gems aren’t buying it for the skin, they’re buying it for the gems, the skin is a bonus. If someone wants to spend money on skyblock then let them, it lets us play the game for free. Again, this is a cosmetic. The admins don’t owe us updates, it takes them time to make a ridiculously massive update that also ports an entire server to an update released something like 9 years from the one it’s currently on. It’s a free game, so they do what they can with the funding they have. Stop being entitled.
admins do actually owe us updates considering we as a community fund the project monetarily. That's kinda how video game development works. It's not "entitled" to ask for content that we have been promised since 2022.
@@Derailious I think thats a bit far fetched to assume they OWE us updates. Funding hypixel doesn't necessarily mean they have to update the game, just them allowing us to play for free with no pay walls blocking content is already very generous in this day and age. I dont dissagree that we should get updates in a timely manner (foraging) but at the same time from what i've heard it sounds like a very hard update to make, and atleast they are still giving us content while we wait.
@ What I mean by they “owe” us updates is that without them the game (and their revenue stream) would die off. Its supply and demand, we have a “demand” for new content and if they cannot supply it, people will go elsewhere
I don't think there is anything entirely wrong with the black Friday skin. I just think of it as more money going to the devs so more things can be made. People always turn to greed when it's a number above like 5 dollars. Look at what it's not, it's not gacha, it's not gambling of real money, and its not pay to win. If people have a problem with the skin then just don't buy it. It's an incredible amount of money for a skin don't get me wrong, but I wouldn't say it's a scummy move. It's just a fun promotion.
@@mybrain8996 Yeah. I don’t think its greed and agree some people head too far in that direction. I do think it was slightly poor timing with the relative lack of substaintial updates
@@talegamer1310 Wardrobe isn't fully locked behind it. You don't need traveling scrolls to play the game, runecrafting is purely cosmetic and STILL can be used completely f2p. Supercrafting is nice but is completely playable without it. The only part I disagree with is the account upgrade "bazaar flipper." Everything else is purely cosmetic or a small QOL upgrade.
The skin with the gems is a bit silly, but I can't say I really see a huge problem. You're paying 120 dollars for gems to use on cosmetics, ion think throwing in another cosmetic as a bonus is something horrible.
why are they not fixing sven, u legit cant spawn anywhere besides caslte, and without veteran and cookie it takes so long, why cant they buff spawn rates for that in the cave or make the ones in the caslte give more cxp?
At this point I stopped caring for foraging. It's a bit like hytale. It's taken so long to come out I don't care anymore. Now I am hype for mountaintop and hoping for a Christmas break release so I can play it (Grade 12 is unforgiving)
the powerorb skin isnt that different for me compared to the fire sails. Hypixel isnt that pay to win like other servers. Imagine they would add a npc sell price multiplier with ranks
if u actually consider the skin a problem, PLEASE tell me why, because it seems like people just have a pointless vendetta against the admins, and think that admins making money = bad, when THAT is how updates are made, with money, from the players (idiot whales)
Its a completely cosmetic item, you will not gain anything by having/not having it. It's not controversial, people are just salty - dont waste money if you cant afford it. Get a job. That's my 2 cents.
crimson still sucks and will as long as they keep that formula, crimson helm is way better than warden helm at base infernal, so it's prob better at already burning 10*, 100m avarice is better than warden helm, and blaze is better than gdrag on crimson isle and edrag is pretty much just as good everywhere else (except for the end where it is still better just like before)
I think that in order to balance crimson they should make it do physical damage (so it works on blaze mainly) along with proccing every hit but reduce the damage scaling so at 4/4 infernal its 2x damage per hit (excluding initial hit) and the other sets adjusted accordingly. there is also still the issue of the warden helmet being way too good for how cheap it is and i think a fairly easy way to balance it in conjunction with the crimson changes is changing the scaling to 17.5% damage per 25 speed which would put it about equal to a fiery 10 star crimson helmet (which costs around 1.5x more) with infernal + stars outclassing it
I dont think they should Nerf the warden helmet it is good as it is, ofcourse it might be cheaper then fiery Crimson but with using warden helmet u cant use some Set bonusses at all or they get worse.
I love how they went from saying they were going to buff crimson armor so its better than it is on main to then nerfing it into the ground is hilarious to me. Mage is better for eman once again. Even with this latest buff to crimson swipe u still cant phase skip with crimson yet it's easy to do with mage.
Let me know what you guys think here!

First time?
adding this cosmetic took at max 1hour which is nothing compared to the time updates take
Only effect is being able to sell it for big coins because someone will pay for it
Lack of updates is crazy given the amount of updates and content they released only this year

@@The14thPrimei never Heard about that lol, from what i know they will never come Back and keep getting rarer which majes them so appealing to buy
it does incentivize spending money on gems but people need to remember it is not a 100 dollar skin its a free skin when you buy 100 dollars worth of gems, for the players that are free to play its purchasable on the ah if you want one just like every other cosmetic in the game
Hey Rail,
Just a correction: booster cookies are essentially a monthly subscription. Most players have booster cookies active, which cost ~$17/month. Like in other MMOs such as WOW, you can purchase memberships with in game currency, but the money is coming from somewhere. When players buy booster cookies on the bazaar, their monthly subscription is essentially being subsidized by whales.
Booster Cookies arent actually Essential they are Just qol U can easily max a Profile without consuming a single Booster Cookie, ofcourse maxxing skills will Take approx. 50% longer but it still doesnt make it Essential to Play the Game wich majes it Not a monthly subscription to Play the Game.
Unlike WoW/OSRS/Etc parts of the game aren’t locked behind having it active. I don’t know if you’ve played them but a lot of content is locked behind those memberships. If anything all booster cookies do is speed up progression which could easily just be done without them.
@cyn5185 You’re right that they’re not necessarily the same, but I feel they’re similar enough given the vast majority players above a certain stage have one active at all times. That’s definitely an important distinction to keep in mind though.
@@ArcityArc Right, once they can buy the convenient thing because they make enough money they do. But as said no actual content is locked behind them. Just because it’s something people later on in progression have doesn’t mean it’s a requirement.
Good changes but I think the swipe damage should be about doubled again and then it’s a fair update
Because I tested with infernal 4/4 and I was dealing half of base damage as swipe and I think swipe damage=base dmg for infernal is fair
Swipe damage being equal to normal damage should be the bottom line for a 1-2b set of armor, thats just me tho
@@SomeCowguyyeah I think same damage ist fair for infernal because yes that’s lower than previously but now it swipes every hit which it didn’t before. That’s why I think that would be perfect. And then obviously less damage for fiery and less for burning and so on
8:13 yeah take riot games for example there cheapest skins cost like 200 bucks
thank god that i bought mp5mr6 crimson like a month ago
What if the mountaintop update does actually exist in the main server already and the admins just were double checking it's possible to access? It isn't evidence against it!!!
[INSANITY] achieved
Are you dumb on purpose
why is everyone complaining about the gem rune skin and not fire sales lmao fire sales are the same concept just in a different form and they do that 10x more often plus cookie prices are going down because of this
regarding the power orb skin:
if i understand it correctly, people are mad cause its limited edition and expensive? pls correct me if im wrong, but if thats the case im sorry but imo skins are not necessary to have and hypixel didnt do anything wrong. skins shouldnt be seen as a money investment(altho the generell opinion of skins is exactly that). they should just be for the people who want to support hypixel and have the money and are willing to spend it. skins have gotten to the point where everyone wants them and it feels like kind of a necessity to have? again if im wrong about this pls correct me
Bro why is everyone freaking out about the power orb skin? It’s literally free as you’re paying for the gems… if you weren’t getting the gems then sure but it’s arguable just an incentive for purchasing.
Aurora getting buffed while mage is the strongest for kuudra and outside kuudra while Terror gets nerfed everywhere despite term being mediocre everywhere but mastermode is kinda lame - Reducing damage for damage phase rlly isn't a "buff" for terror, making it just a heavy nerf instead of a "rework" like crimson
Aurora isnt meta for kuudra at all lol
@@J______________ What else ppl gonna use with their Hypes? crystal? Aurora gives better stats then Storm while also having attributes
Someone should do an "i'm gonna be real" counter
I mention the Endstone Sword being used as a way to be able to 1 shot voidglooms and admins listened...
MY INFLUENCE HAS REACHED A NEW PEAK
MY EGO HAS BEEN STROKED
BEING A FORMER NO LIFE PAID OFF FOR ONCE
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO
honestly I like the 100$ skin, nobody is forced to buy it, it doesn't look amazing, it's not soul bound, there's no physical benefit to having it(so not anything resembling P2W), and the real only benefit is that booster cookies will finally drop a bit lol
can't wait for cookie prices to go down for like a week and then go back up
I mean 100$ skin I totally agree other games have it way way worse Personally I'd let it go just once but the limited time part is totally scummy
With the alpha stuff seems pretty good but then again I am a dungeons sweat so none of that really effects me Although I do like they are actually telling us whats going on
Do the missiles count as magic damage?
Nice video as always
People who complain about the skin are just finding something to take their anger out on. The skin is not $100, the gems are, if you buy the bundle because of the skin that’s your problem (I already bought it and I’m malding help(I bought it for the gems I wanted the gems))
To everyone saying this skin isnt p2w you need to understand why. This skin is a cosmetic sure it also comes with gems but its a scummy mobile game tactic were you spend money to save time if a game lets you spend money to save time compared to others then it can be considered a p2w game.
Personally, I do not care about the $100 skin. As I will not be buying it
I think the problem is that people look down on p2w already and adding another reason to do it while only enticing the people who are willing to spend more. Its just greedy and nobody likes greedy companies
the crimson changes as of right now are a HUGE nerf. my enderman boss times got 14 seconds added onto them (on average). even after upgrading my crimson set from fiery 5 star to infernal 15 star my bosses are about 10 seconds longer than before
Be Happy its only 10-15 secs t4 emans where never meant to be killed this fast, the faster they can be killed the more worthless the Drops will get, which is Not a good Thing when we are talking about judgement Cores for example.
Oh no thats catastrophic
@talegamer1310 if this is supposed to be sarcastic you're estupido, thats 20% fewer bosses/hour for some people and eman is already a mediocre slayer
Crimson is gonna be so good for eman
Who cares about the skin. It takes them barely any time to make it and the skin comes with the gems, not costs $100 worth of gems. People buying the $100 dollar pack of gems aren’t buying it for the skin, they’re buying it for the gems, the skin is a bonus. If someone wants to spend money on skyblock then let them, it lets us play the game for free. Again, this is a cosmetic. The admins don’t owe us updates, it takes them time to make a ridiculously massive update that also ports an entire server to an update released something like 9 years from the one it’s currently on. It’s a free game, so they do what they can with the funding they have. Stop being entitled.
admins do actually owe us updates considering we as a community fund the project monetarily. That's kinda how video game development works. It's not "entitled" to ask for content that we have been promised since 2022.
I mean many people care about it because it's expensive and overall looks good tbh
@@Derailious I think thats a bit far fetched to assume they OWE us updates. Funding hypixel doesn't necessarily mean they have to update the game, just them allowing us to play for free with no pay walls blocking content is already very generous in this day and age. I dont dissagree that we should get updates in a timely manner (foraging) but at the same time from what i've heard it sounds like a very hard update to make, and atleast they are still giving us content while we wait.
@ What I mean by they “owe” us updates is that without them the game (and their revenue stream) would die off. Its supply and demand, we have a “demand” for new content and if they cannot supply it, people will go elsewhere
Just bought the skin using your code
Idk what about other countries, but for me $100 is like 55% of a regular monthly income lmao
I don't think there is anything entirely wrong with the black Friday skin. I just think of it as more money going to the devs so more things can be made. People always turn to greed when it's a number above like 5 dollars. Look at what it's not, it's not gacha, it's not gambling of real money, and its not pay to win. If people have a problem with the skin then just don't buy it. It's an incredible amount of money for a skin don't get me wrong, but I wouldn't say it's a scummy move. It's just a fun promotion.
@@mybrain8996 Yeah. I don’t think its greed and agree some people head too far in that direction. I do think it was slightly poor timing with the relative lack of substaintial updates
if the spending limit was lower it would be ok
Skyblock's monetization has been really good all things considered. Nothing is locked behind a paywall and you can just trade for the paid stuff.
Travelling scrolls in question:
Wardrove in question:
Quick crafting in question:
Runecrafting in question:
@@talegamer1310 Wardrobe isn't fully locked behind it. You don't need traveling scrolls to play the game, runecrafting is purely cosmetic and STILL can be used completely f2p. Supercrafting is nice but is completely playable without it. The only part I disagree with is the account upgrade "bazaar flipper." Everything else is purely cosmetic or a small QOL upgrade.
Technically true, but realistically most OG/high end cosmetics inflate far faster than the average player even makes money...
A new item for the mmo economy game.
The skin with the gems is a bit silly, but I can't say I really see a huge problem. You're paying 120 dollars for gems to use on cosmetics, ion think throwing in another cosmetic as a bonus is something horrible.
why are they not fixing sven, u legit cant spawn anywhere besides caslte, and without veteran and cookie it takes so long, why cant they buff spawn rates for that in the cave or make the ones in the caslte give more cxp?
At this point I stopped caring for foraging. It's a bit like hytale. It's taken so long to come out I don't care anymore. Now I am hype for mountaintop and hoping for a Christmas break release so I can play it (Grade 12 is unforgiving)
Spent $100 and got 750m from the skin when it first dropped and like 2.5b from the enderman skins kinda woethv
I’m going to take the $100 power orb skin as the team encouraging people to spend those gems on cookies to bring the price down. Yes, I’m delusional
if they update mining again after this ISTG
foraging update coming january trust
the powerorb skin isnt that different for me compared to the fire sails. Hypixel isnt that pay to win like other servers. Imagine they would add a npc sell price multiplier with ranks
its a skin bro who cares skins are not needed for progression it does not matter if you dont get a skin
if u actually consider the skin a problem, PLEASE tell me why, because it seems like people just have a pointless vendetta against the admins, and think that admins making money = bad, when THAT is how updates are made, with money, from the players (idiot whales)
Thats radical
what did they do now?
I dont really care about that nor will i get it i dont play sb enough to spend 100 dollars for that cosmetic
buff mining
imo, the skin is fine if you want to scam yourself out of 100$ go crazy. me being a sane person will avoid that and live life without the skin.
Nice video
Its a completely cosmetic item, you will not gain anything by having/not having it. It's not controversial, people are just salty - dont waste money if you cant afford it. Get a job. That's my 2 cents.
crimson still sucks and will as long as they keep that formula, crimson helm is way better than warden helm at base infernal, so it's prob better at already burning 10*, 100m avarice is better than warden helm, and blaze is better than gdrag on crimson isle and edrag is pretty much just as good everywhere else (except for the end where it is still better just like before)
Blaze is not better than gdrag on isles
@@drip2007 yes it is with swipe legit test it before u talk
I think that in order to balance crimson they should make it do physical damage (so it works on blaze mainly) along with proccing every hit but reduce the damage scaling so at 4/4 infernal its 2x damage per hit (excluding initial hit) and the other sets adjusted accordingly.
there is also still the issue of the warden helmet being way too good for how cheap it is and i think a fairly easy way to balance it in conjunction with the crimson changes is changing the scaling to 17.5% damage per 25 speed which would put it about equal to a fiery 10 star crimson helmet (which costs around 1.5x more) with infernal + stars outclassing it
I dont think they should Nerf the warden helmet it is good as it is, ofcourse it might be cheaper then fiery Crimson but with using warden helmet u cant use some Set bonusses at all or they get worse.

I love not being able to play the game BECAUSE OF HOW TRASH THE SERVRS ARE
Devs actually cooking rn
I love how they went from saying they were going to buff crimson armor so its better than it is on main to then nerfing it into the ground is hilarious to me. Mage is better for eman once again. Even with this latest buff to crimson swipe u still cant phase skip with crimson yet it's easy to do with mage.
