Hello, Had to make a new account to post this, since all the old accounts were migrated from before :P What are your guys thoughts on the upgradable pick? I've seen mixed reviews. Personally, I like the upgradable pick since it brings mining more into the meta and sort of levels the playing field, since it takes for everyone (immortal or rookie) to rank up their pick. I guess the pick taken together with the spawner nerf were designed to shift the focus away from the spawners. Do you guys still think spawners are a viable option in season 7? Or has mining become the new meta?
This season is definitely more mining-heaving. The upgradable picks were added to encourage grinding and less p2w. Spawners are still a viable option this season, just less used because they have been significantly nerfed. Mining is definitely the new meta, by the way. They're the main source of income for a lot of people, which also encourages sell shops. You can view more changes this season here =>https://mccentral.org/community/threads/30th-january-2020-prison-7-0-changelog.40443/ Have a nice day.
Hello! I agree with mxbel. Mining is the new meta for prisons and to add to what mxbel said, it helps people rankup prestige faster. Last season it was annoying because you needed 100,000 blocks mined, but with the new upgradable picks, it allows you to not worry about mining 100,000 blocks because you most likely already mined that much and it is the most efficient way to make money. You can sell your ores and you increase the amount of Token Doubler enchant on your pickaxe and sell those prison tokens at a profit shop. Most people use prisons as a KitPvP 2.0 but now those pvpers are actually ranking up instead of staying at rank A all because of the new upgradable pickaxe. I hope to see many new features added to the upcoming prison updates/announcements. Have a great day/night!
