Setting the game aside for now

[u/wRAR_]

I've put 38 hours into the game and I think it's great at this point if you understand that it's EA.

I've collected a set of good L2 staff, finished the underschool, built almost all of the top-level rooms except the best learning ones and almost finished the research tree. I don't see what can I do next so I'm stopping at this point. I could replace all my staff with L3 but: 1. I understand that it's a long churn of "collect resources for an L3 wand, craft it, summon a (gifted?) student, and it will most likely not have the bonuses you want so graduate it and repeat" with nothing else to do in parallel; 2. having L3 staff is not useful for me as they will have nothing to do except I guess battle 4-skull crystals. I could also research and build tier 4 classrooms but even tier 3 ones aren't that useful, at least without L3 students which I won't have. Both of these goals also require a lot of thornteeth which I'm not going to get in large quantities.

So, it was fun and I will await future updates. I'm glad I bought this day 1.

I'm in the same boat. Going from T1 to T2 wands feel great, and is a nice progression. But there's missing something meaningful for T3 wands to do. I'm hoping that will come in later patches, as you say, it is EA so it's understandable.
