Raised the price of Excavation Sites?

[Aman21]

Even i feel like i ranted for no reason here.

Sure at beginning it seems like a chore but now my investment is paying off with double it's worth. Super rare pokes, big nuggets and plethora of rare candy. I should have waited before ranting i guess

Yeah now i feel money is indeed worth it, my friend found some super epics and he made like 3-4 million from 1 day so damn.

I agree with it being expensive for first few attempts but every good return needs a great investment first.

Right move from staff, rare must remain rare. Pokemon like starly were far too easy to find for a poke that is ridiculously strong in pvp right now.

 

Food for thought, imagine if staff initiated it with the current prices, would anyone have complained then? no.

190962 Nobody is forcing you to go there. If you can't afford it, don't bother going there. The players complaining about the price made decisions without thinking about the risks first tend to lose their investment. And it's unfortunate that players got screwed when the price's changed again, after they spent some cash on it though. But, they can look for chances.

You can buy stuffs from players. If you have trouble earning cash, catch some good pokes and sell them. And it results in some profit. And there are different ways of earning cash. Grind in Dragon Den or Cerulean Cave, hunt for rare poke and items then sell them. Battle bosses, etc.

I do agree that the price is a bit high, but we'll have to see if the price is right or not. It's not fully researched yet, hell even it's been only a week and ya'll still complaining? I'm assuming that the Excavation Sites contains valuable stuffs, which is why the price's increased so that it doesn't leave negative impacts on the economy.

Moreover, ''newer players'', they will eventually attempt to figure out how to earn cash when they progress through the whole game. If they can't, they can at least ask for some advice from players. It's hard to tell what they think without witnessing them playing in these sites. Therefore, don't make claims without any sources supporting it because that won't change anything and probably won't convince staffs to think again.

There are three regions in this game, so that's enough for them to experience the game play. The game is getting extended so that it will keep players playing for a while. There are plenty of contents and soon, there will be many new ones which will extend the game play.

 

About Excavation Sites, think first about what will you do and how you will try to do there. Are you ready to invest your time and money on it or not? Are you ready to take risks which is your time, cash and skill to have a good chance of getting rewards as well as benefits or not? Players should think properly before making a final decision. Good decisions will even result in the succession.

189598 Only two excavation sites have 10k price while the other four have 5k and this was increased so the rare remain rare and it is not mandatory to enter the excavation site as this was made only for late game content.

He does have a point but seems that you missed it. Let me try to explain what I got.

 

''It's not mandatory to enter the excavation site'' means that you don't have to go there so importantly. It offers a way to get some pokes and items which even requires high risks. There are other ways as well, do them instead if you don't want to go there.

If you fail, you can try again as much as you want. Some players said that (unless i'm drunk) there are Pokemon that are only available there, but you can try buy them from players if you don't want to waste your time on excavation sites. Too expensive? Try to sacrifice something good for it. No? Wait for their values to go a bit down. No? Look for a generous seller. No? Wait for Auction House. No? Ugh, no other options lol.

 

And there will be more contents for PVP and PvE in Hoenn soon, it's been like two weeks since the release of Hoenn. So, don't lose your cool and patience. Give staffs a break, will you please? They just added Hoenn and you are already throwing wastes at them for just one content? Ugh.

 

Peace.

I'm not saying you're not right, but the whole point of content, again, is to do it. Why put something in when it's going to be wasted for nothing? I was surprised too when it was 1k for when some players were getting some pretty cool stuff, however like I said, it was swept out from under us. No announcement in game, or on the forum. It wasn't even mentioned in the patch notes, so it seemed like they tried to hide it, which they did. That's shady. You can't just make a drastic change w/o telling the community about it. It just isn't right even if things are subject to change. I would have been fine if it were a bit of in an increase but 5k - 10k is a lot to some players especially when it equals up to 40k a day. Sure, it pays for itself in time. But for the time it doesn't? Until you reach 1k~ish discoveries, you don't really get much of anything. You're spending 200k-320k a week for nothing essentially, for items you could buy normally that aren't that price.

 

I'm surprised as well that we didn't get informed about late game content for Hoenn. It's not even mentioned in Patch Notes just like you said. Probably, they wanted us to find out what's in Hoenn but, eh, they put money sinks there which prevents players with little money going there.

But the Excavation sites has some things that are quite valuable which may be why the price is high.

We'll have to wait first to see if the prize is right or not, since there aren't much recent changes in economy yet. With time, there might be, but who knows?

 

191230 I thought Jakeyyboy against the discovery site idea, since he even said "Why put something in when it's going to be wasted for nothing?" in previous reply.

yet, i saw him in this post https://www.pokemonrevolution.net/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=120&t=31567&start=150 which mean he still do the discovery thing.

I don't really know about this discovery thing since im new in hoenn, but it is funny when see someone who really oppose an idea and yet still doing it.

 

He never said that he doesn't want to do so. He's simply worried about how players with little money will farm in Excavation sites and it's very time consuming and random which may discourage some players. Additionally, they put a high money sink as well.

 

However, there are players who are okay with changes in price. Perhaps they are ready to sacrifice their time, money and skills to gain rewards from Excavation sites. They might know that they won't get what they want while farming there, but eventually, they will get it.

 

Personally, i think the price is fair, but for some players, it may not be. But, they can go there in the future if they feel that they are ready to invest.

Usually players complaining aren't ready enough, so they have to understand that Excavation sites does have high risks which can ruin your investment. Think about it, do you really want to go there despite high risks or not? That's for players to decide.

 

That's all.

Good luck with this topic. :P

 

Edited: Just saw new posts, darn, i got ninja'd, players.

Like I said in my previous post I don't really liked of this new update, but at the same time I can't say that the excavation isn't profible, this is more like a investiment, in the begin you really will lose some money since you will not have any xp points and will not find nothing really good (except for starlys), but after you earn points (sorry don't remember the exactly amount) reaper cloth, big nugget, rare candy, and others good stuff will starts to appear.

 

I assure you guys that after some time the money that you had invested will start to turn into profit, you don't need believe me but I dont have much luck (serious I don't have '-') , and still i can find at least one big nugget per day, not to mention the pokemons and other stuff.

 

Again if i have to choose of course that I will prefer the previous excavations, but this doesn't mean that the current excavations are broken.

Stop crying about the raised Price.

Rare has to be rare, it's a great idea of the Staff and i totally support them.

[Fyre]

because TS are joke

 

That's a real good one considering I never said I wouldn't do them. I'm vouching for the people who have little and cannot participate in such because of such a high income at the beginning with little to no reward, even if it gets better because there is nothing to vouch for. Good work for making yourself look silly.

191236 Btw, if u have millions or not.

 

With 1,2k, which i reached with 5th Excavation site, i found 2 Big nuggets in last Site. I dont even mention all the other stuff. Someone in my guild did all 6 with more than 1,2k points and he got 3 Big nuggets.

So it seems god [Censored] worth it in my opinion atm. :y:

Again.. you're missing the point. Even if it's worth it at that point, that's still 340k as of right now for the first 6 days. I'm willing to bet a good 40-50% of the PRO community doesn't have that kind of money to spend for the result to be that good within that time frame, not to mention it's heavily RNG based. You're not guaranteed the money back at all, but sure you can make some back if you get lucky.

Ffs, u are even more stubborn than any Blissey i had to face, haha.

 

I give up man, i know u wont agree with me or anyone of the others here anytime soon, who agree with the changes. I think i`ve said enough so everyone can use his own brain and calculate if its worth it for them or not.

 

Cya guys at the Excavation Sites (or not :P). Im out. :Cool:
