Been a bit since I made this thread......we now have golden shovel back.....I still don't understand the whole clan thing...but it's all good I suppose. Will just take some learning.
Another question though about Survival changes.....what's with Alchemist losing a bunch of perms we used to have? :( and the kits being changed...I donated for all the building blocks I got...plus the ability to toggle /god....now I get a ton of chests, bookshelves, etc...useless items, (the beacons are kinda nice I suppose, not that I can use them all up quick, nor can any other players, with as long as it takes to accumulate pyramid blocks). I do like the hoppers, sea lanterns and a few other items...but the rest is just a waste imo.
I am total builder when it comes to survival....this has put a major dent in my abilities to build, and build fast. I used to build shops and exp grinders for players to use...just to promote activity......
I have been playing again solid now for a few months...and still have yet to accumulate much for any player to take interest in my area. Main reason I don't care to spend all the time gathering resources: I work 40 or more hours a week.
Sincerely,
Tali
