For me the offer is roughly near 17.99 dollars (at current exchange rate), and new bots always went for 750 gems (whether I took the one before or not).

@moifirst, I did notice the two 26% upgrades, some code left behind? Getting the 380 gems made me content enough to overlook at the “upgrades.”

And yes, @vabeachguy, they did away with the spire. Now it is a 53 day challenge

My haul from gold crates doesn’t seem so bad… it made for the gems I could’ve got if there hadn’t changed the game so much:

I used to be able to grind about 100 gems/day averagw, now with this overhaul of the game that rate tanked to a handful. Do they want to do away with the old gem-based system? Would the game offer new bots for old gems? What about the eggspark?

Oh, and now coins seem to be more important than before.

A few things encountered in the game so far: an increase on gold crates’ token price and the cost of in-node recharging, which may depend on the kind of reward been offered for completing the node.

@Lostyyy, my thingking exactly. Low revenue and high maintenance cost. I guess they’d made the math.

@geli, I thought I was mistaken (didn’t really pay attention). With gem grinding at its lowest that recharge cost is steep.

Certainly, they had evened the table for everyone, but the cost of upsetting the long-time players, who are seeing years of upgrades gone for good. Now, with gems hard to get by and a new system that it is yet to be comprehended, it begs the question: are they so burnt out that they want to kill the game?

I’ve installed it as well, it’s going to need some time to get used to the new gem system. Everything seems off as of now.

Anyway, either I will keep playing or finally break off this toxic relationship for good.

Hopefully the final version won’t be so bad.

Great! WMT day… the bots of the event squad can take care of WMTs, but they are too slow at that.

Update:

@fortressmaximus, so far I have seen one green elite pig in the whole event, it must’ve been a glitch.

As far as I know it’s always been 75k sparks for 1500 gems.

@fortressmaximus never thought of that, thanks for sharing.

@vabeachguy, finally it’s here! I’ve been saving for this too, and now I am almost gemless.

In addition to poison blocks: elite pigs.

Thanks @vabeachguy. So it’s been awhile.

@moifirst and @elpapam:

Welcome back to the fray!

Does anyone know how long it has been since the last time the eggspark was offered?
