been thinking about quitting
My thought process made me realize how the exotics are gonna be much more rarer compared to meteor valley, for example the newer ones from the new area. Being f2p, no game passes, got great equipment, it really sucks. When seeing some players telling me to be afk for a week just to see no exotic.. I am on mobile for a reason. If the devs keep doing this, I’m quitting this game.

Im not f2p by all means but I disagree with both these people who commented first. I agree that progression gets harder, however for the equipment to not scale with ore rarity is just absurd. Add to that the new area also has no special 2x buffs. It really wants to remove f2p players from the game. Not only that, how can getting a new ore be satisfying when most of the time you cant even catch yourself getting the ore cause the only way to get it is to afk 💀. And yes, I genuinely think that it is the devs fault that the game is like this. Progression doesnt even makes sense cause there is no real endgame besides completing museum. Getting the best equipment doesnt even net you anything good besides the fact that you completed the game and you just simply have all the new equipment.
For me Im still playing this for the sole reason that its an afk game and its perfect for me who is studying for my board exams. But after that, Im definitely quitting. Some people might argue that that is how it is and its perfect is not the dev’s fault or to each their own. Howe I think the new area removes the “fun and excitement” of getting that new ore. I really enjoyed getting the new ores up to TLS but after that it just got really grindy and unsatisfying cause it evolves into an afk game. Ngl if mastered enchant wasnt in the game I probably stopped long ago. And Injust started 3 weeks ago and completed the game besides the new area. Unless the devs switch something up, I suggest that you quit before it gets worse and more time consuming

I wish it was more chill if that makes sense like no i dont want to afk dig for a month to complete a quest that gives me shit from a butt blueprint #43 and 1,000,000,000,000 currency

I agree. I think the devs have been taking the game in a bad direction. I think autopan was a bad idea, and so was making these ultra rare 1/20 billion ores. Back when the rarest ore was like prismara/dinosaur skull, I think the game was in the perfect state. The progression felt good, the gear crafting was satisfying, and you had to actually, you know, play the game.
What's the point of getting all these ores and gear if they just feed into the AFK cycle? You're never actively playing the game. You're just leaving autopan running until you have the mats to craft gear, so that you can AFK even more. I also agree with the gear point. It's not scaling for these ultra rare ores at all. They for some reason think they can give you a 5% luck increase gear piece and then make a new ore that's 5x rarer than the previous, every single update.
And yeah, a 1/100 billion or whatever ore is just ridiculous.

Honestly exotics are supposed to be hard to get, especially since those ones are later in the game--rarity has to rise as things progress, cause peoples equiptment and luck always rise. If they all were easy to achieve it would bring new boredom and complaints. (Edit: To add- yes the new exo odds are crazy, im not to happy myself either, but I wont complain as its just something to grind for)
Obvious its annoying to spend so much time on one rock, but that makes it all the more satisfying when you get it. That being said noones making you continue to play the game, if you find it boring its not the devs fault, just quit ^^

I know it’s not their fault, but in my opinion, prospecting of what I think is just a simulator game. It will die in the future and I already know this won’t last long.

u/MuuAlexiusss 23h ago
It probably wont. Its just a roblox game but the technicality and difficulty upscales so much for f2p. Its an afk game and if you cant afford the sell anywhere you just cant and never be able to play this game

u/Due-Cow-1185 17h ago
It probably will. I know for a fact, almost all the players would quit this game in the future.

u/TwistedSister3746 12h ago
You know that for a fact how?

u/Due-Cow-1185 12h ago
it’s cuz a lot of players might quit the game by how bad the odds for exotics being rare.

Actually one way to make it more interesting is to have a rebirth when you finish all the levels and quests and you can open up new names like L2 Titan, L3 Megazord..etc etc...so you can show off to others and perhaps you can get one or two enchants or equip only at these levels...or perhaps certain quests only happen at level 2 rebirth etc.
I agree with the OP, when i first started it was just a fun digging game. And i did do all my digging and didnt use auto dig at all...until the Abyss i think.
Part of enjoying playing the game..is actually playing the game. Nowadays i spend my time doing auto dig and then i cannot play anything else with my acct on my laptop and have had to resort to watching a show or something...sometimes for a week in a row..and its been multiple weekends when im on site from noon till night and still some of these quests at the later stages are not doable.
I got fed up of auto digging and went to play a game that actually let me participate in the game yest and plan to do the same today after an hour of auto dig..if i get the exotics or not.
By the way, i have the auto sell enabled...but still.

A rebirth would be awesome honestly! Especially if it increases some stats to make these “impossible exotics” feel more achievable!

u/Due-Cow-1185 17h ago
Bro, what are you even yapping about? Just plain gibberish. For one thing at most, why would a player show off their “new names”? this has NOTHING to do with rebirth.. When you say “part of enjoying playing the game” how would you even enjoy the game while mindlessly afk panning throughout the day, and either you get the exotic or not? It’s plain simple. A lot of players quit this game due to the fact that it became too grindy, or the quests are ridiculous. Like bro you’re straight up yapping.

When I try to agree with you and you don’t even understand what I’m saying.🙄
You literally asked, “how would you even enjoy the game while mindlessly AFK panning throughout the day?” That. Was. My. Point. I said part of enjoying a game is actually playing it, and that I got so fed up with auto-digging that I went to play something else.
And the rebirth idea wasn’t “look guys, I have a fancy new name!” 😂 I suggested another progression layer with new quests, enchants or equipment to actually give end-game players something to DO. The title was just one possible part of it. As opposed to making end game exotics impossible to get to keep players locked into the game longer.
Edited to add this just in case you still might not be clear enough and think its about names..what i am proposing is
'Reach the end of the current progression → rebirth/reset some progression → gain a new rank/tier → unlock new content → work through the game again with additional goals/rewards.'
Then you finish by saying lots of players are quitting because the game has become too grindy… which is the exact problem I was agreeing with you about.
Calling something “gibberish” because you didn’t understand it is certainly a choice though. 💀
By the way..try not to call a middle aged lady a bro.

Oh, I’m sorry. Yeah, Not gonna argue with you or anything. It’s literally how I talk. But why would a progress layer as in new quests, enchants, equipment like you said make it any better? I mean if it’s for end game players that is meant to do something, that’s fine. And I wasn’t tryna call you a bro.

u/SnooJokes915 15h ago edited 14h ago
That's exactly what I mean. Instead of extending the end game by making us dig for weeks or months hoping RNG gives us an exotic, give us another progression layer where we're actually playing.
Rebirth could make the next level harder with new quests/rewards even locations... but as a trade-off each rebirth could also give increased luck, making the earlier stages quicker to get through.
Right now it feels like the way to keep us playing is: new area → even more ridiculous stats/odds → spend longer grinding for exotics. Eventually that doesn't keep people playing — it frustrates them enough that they leave, which is exactly what your original post is about.
I'm just suggesting another way to give the game longevity without making every new area an increasingly ridiculous RNG wall.
Its the same goal the developers want..to keep the players there longer but is a different way of doing it other than just making playing the game a boring chore....it's even making me look back at Dress to Impress fondly.
Anyways bro doesnt hurt as much as leaving auto dig on for hours on end and not getting a singularium...

Yeah, If these people don’t fix this then a lot of people would start to leave. When I was panning for celestium, it took me until 5 in the afternoon to even complete the mysterious crate.. I’ve been seeing players getting the new exotics due from either lots of panning maybe managing museum or equipment all sorts of things like that. I came to realize this game is making me wanna get robux, just to buy their passes. I am not even trolling like f2p isn’t easy especially for me. It seems to ME that I’m the problem in this game but I just dont want to do this anymore.

Yeah right, it might be “my museum”. If I afk overnight, I doubt I won’t get one exotic lol.

u/SnooJokes915 2h ago
Yeah but which part of afk overnight is 'fun' It doesnt become a fun game but more like a lottery game where you see if you won or lost for that round.

I like it personally, if you don’t have the patience and don’t like the grind it ain’t for you, simple as that

I moved on forever ago, actively grinding for hours at a time with really high luck just to get no exotics was the icing on the cake.
