RE: New Land Cards? Man and his best friend
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Does land really need more general boosts? There are millions more resources produced than consumed each and every day. The only thing which keeps land resources prices up is that people are hoarding for the next big thing to craft. If this next big thing is even more boosts the problem just gets bigger and bigger.
I would rather see land cards as a specialist role when buildings come around, since the other boosts are not available there. Like lets say you want to make "fancy resource X". First you need the building, sure, and normal cards can do that, but it would make sense that the normal rate is rather bad. Sort of, you can do it, but not very proficient. If you put a "fancy resource X specialist card" on your plot it boost production in this specific building significantly.
Now you could argue, that you already pay for the building, why need cards to do it efficiently. Well, cards can be rented, so in a way, you create an ingame job market where you can send your cards. You could argue that happens now but it is very general since only PP matters. This would even be a reasonable way how to include research into landcard crafting, since your specialist cards need to study how to do stuff (would make more sense than a permit to build x buildings lore wise).
Thanks for sharing the feedback.
More boosts is an interesting one. I think we should make more boosts so newer land players can get them. But I don't want to see massive ones like the initial land card release. That's why these are much more chill in terms of boosts but with a slightly higher PP.
It's also a good incentive to part people from their USDC. It could be done another way but I haven't seen a good one.
Though feedback from @jeffopenscards has got me thinking that the boosts should only apply to natural resources and I think your mention of building is good so will include buildings as well.
These guys are meant to be great generalists. Not specialists, so they don't give any boost for Aura, Research and Sps.
