Should chunk loaders take up more chunks than just one?

Personally, I believe that chunk loaders are alright loading one chunk. After it all, it says in the name that it only loads the chunk it's in. However, they are extremely expensive, since they are so rare to get from the most expensive key. If they made it slightly less rare to get a chunk loader, and maybe also add them as a possibility in an ancient key, this might help the server a lot. Chunk loaders are extremely helpful and valuable, though, and so I don't think they should be common, or cheap. Making them load multiple chunks might just inflate their value more, since they become even more useful.

I wouldn't complain if they made chunk loaders load multiple chunks, although doing that might make them go up in value even more. What they should do instead is make them slightly less rare than they are now.

 

In my opinion, Chunk loaders should only load 1 Chunk. They are rare, and are rare because the provide a HUGE advantage to larger islands, as for they don't have to afk every single chunk of the 1k-6k spawners. Chunk loaders are valuable for this reason, and only do need to load one chunk. If thy loaded more than one chunk. This could make Them to overpowered, and make it so that the game is virtually unplayable for the new players, because the top island are always placing spawners in the 2 Chunk area a single Chunk loader is loading. I am on the #3 island on Skyblock Realm #2, so we have 2 chunk loaders, and they help a lot. The chunk loaders spawn our skellys, and we don't have to afk them, we can play on another realm like Skywars or something. This makes money while we aren't even doing anything. They are overpowered now, and i think they are fine how they are right now. The chunk loaders are fine how they are, and don't really need to be changed, Unless they get a nerf.

 

I think while for balance reasons they shouldn't be changed, from a backend point of view, the stress on the server from many people loading many chunks at once with all these mobs could cause issues with lag on the server. I think that the idea for multiple chunks probably did come through their minds however when taking this point into consideration would probably shutdown the possibility.
Just my opinion:)

 

Well its fun you suggesting this, but the problem is that like 60% of the chunk loaders don't even work atm, so lets fix that first and then we can figure out if we want them to load more than 1 chunk, something that I'm against for since they are meant to be rare anyway.

 

I can see how you would think chunk loaders are too expensive, however, they are meant to be that way to somewhat force people to invest in the game and really earn the items they want. For me, I'm on the top island on SB1 (flex), and chunk loaders were really hard for us to get at the beginning, but after playing for a while and earning money through playing we were able to buy the chunk loaders and they are now paying themselves off. There may be some change with chunk loaders for the next season, they might be even rarer, however, the way they are now I believe is fine :)

 

In my opinion if chunk loaders took up more than 1 chunk they would be way too overpowered. I think they should keep them to 1 chunk only as it would make the game a lot more balanced and help the economy.

 

I think keeping them the way they are is going to be the best. Remember they are a luxury that not everyone gets to have. The next thing about them is that we didn't have them at one time. But if they loaded more that one, the price would be even higher. This would make it very difficult for people who can't afford to buy the keys to obtain the chunk loaders. I think that adding them both keys would make them more accessible and lower the price, but that would almost ruin the true value of them.

 

Hey! So i was looking over this post and i think one key point that was overlooked is that Skyblock Season 9 is all about manual farming. It looks like the leadership at mcc is aiming to have a much more active and involved season of skyblock and as a result they have nerfed many auto farming methods and straight up removed others. Given this clear objective, i do not think that they would buff an item whose only purpose is to allow for more effective afk farms.

 

Hello,
There's a reason why they're called Chunk Loaders xP, But it would still be a no from me if you leave out that argument, because Chunk Loaders are a great addition to your island, even if they're expensive, because you'll eventually start turning your loss the the Chunk Loaders into profit since they run day and night.

 

I think the idea of chunkloaders is good but if they were gone I wouldn't mind honestly. It would keep people on more even if they are afk and if they were still here I think 1 chunk is perfect due to how rare they are it makes people want to donate for a chance to pull them in keys which evidently helps out our server!

 

Honestly if you're trying to keep an area permanently loaded, you'd be better off using a console client with an alt, unless they've added an AFK Kicker from last time I checked. And that's ridiculous if you have enough spawners to fill up a 16x16x255 space

 

But if they added an AFK Kicker, just put down n AFK pool and you wont be kicked..
This is what I did before I got a Chunk Loader.

 

Problem is you can't move a console client account with water. Or pretty much anything for that matter. It uses significantly less computer resources & internet bandwidth to have them logged in 24/7, but they're generally strictly chat input/output.

 

and if you have enough spawners to take up that entire space you can probably by another chunk loader on the /ah lol
