Goldrush Problems/Suggestions...? (idk where to put it)

[MummieSenpai]

well i have a eff 4 spec pick its fast and use it not mutch when i go do gold rush i mostly use a diamond pickaxe with eff X and just go nuts

Lol this just seems dumb and will make perfect diamonds too easy to be obtained and would take the fun away from land whale winning goldrush.

I don't quite see how this would make perfect diamonds too easy to obtain. Granted, with gold rush starting more often with a reduced player limit there will be a few more perfect diamonds in circulation, but at least the perfect diamonds would be circulated more evenly throughout the player base rather than to a few select players for the most part. The highest tier players will still get to split at least half of them between each other considering that at least 12 hours or so or more per day at least one of these guys are here. I believe that a small increase in circulation is a small price to pay for more players from different time zones and schedules having an opportunity to win the gold rush. In my opinion, this idea will increase the morale of the overall player base and will likely create an increase of the populace of the community. I think halving the limit to 10 players or perhaps even lowering it to 5 to have gold rush start is not very much to ask and will have a clear positive impact on the server as a whole.

Personally, I have worked my butt off for many months to have the opportunity to even make a dent in gold rush. In the past I have went in with my efficiency V spectral pickaxe, peach juice and zanite rings and I can barely get 1/2 the scores that Jet, Whale, Frost and a few others are capable of getting regardless of if I pre-mine or not.. I have since given up because I don't know of any other way to mine faster.. I'm sure there are a lot of other players that feel the same way. If someone can explain how hitting this acknowledged advancement barrier that only a few select players have been able to pass (and is now an apparent impossibility) is a positive thing for the server then I'd certainly like to know what the benefit is.

Lastly, if the "real" problem here is the fact that villagers are broken then either fix them, or discover another way that all players have an equal opportunity experience in Craftland.

It's all about mining without stopping, I have a Mouse that lets me empty my inventory with one click, so I can pickup more stuff, saving a lot of time with picking up all the Ores. Besides that Ping is a big factor. Even I can't win with a Ping of 500 ms. And lastly.... you have to Premine, and not just 300 points. I'm talking about the Big Premines. I sometimes spend 40 minutes Premining to have 600 Points there.
Zanite Haste 2 and Efficiency V Spectral is the fastest way of Mining, you can't go faster, no matter what you try. It instabreaks the Stone, everyone literally has the same Chance of winning. I'm just getting lucky when Mining sometimes too. While mining to my Premine I find a lot of Ores. Sometimes there's Onyx + Diamond + Zircon + Gold, every Ore being like 2 Blocks away from eachother. It really is easy to get 1st Place when something like this happens.

Seriously though. Do you think changing the Player cap would help? There's a few Other Players that use the Effi V spectral and... guess what. They won't back down on winning either, I'm pretty sure about that. It'll be more People to win, but probably always the same. Something I heard yesterday. A funny fact. "Goldrush has ended." ... Nothing more. Nobody even looked into the mining World, assuming Frost Whale or I win. That's hilarious. Maybe add a Message saying: "Nobody has taken the Lead...yet" or something

If what you say is true, and if no-one has access to anything above efficiency V spectral, then I agree that reducing the player cap for the sake of creating an equal environment is moot. However, I still think that lowering the cap to a certain degree or "perhaps" eliminating it altogether for reasons I already stated would still give players who live in time zones and have schedules in which they can only be here during times of inactivity an opportunity to compete. I feel it is a good idea and can only provide a benefit.

If i'm doing the same thing that you describe when I compete in gold rush, which that was the strategy I was using, and can't get a score above 500, then my luck is just crap apparently.

By the way, I hadn't considered anyone backing down from competing, nor had I mentioned such an idea, especially if the playing field is genuinely level as you suggest. It would be dumb to suggest that high tier players be banned from gold rush or encouraged to stop participating if the players worked hard to get what they have legitimately.

well i have a eff 4 spec pick its fast and use it not mutch when i go do gold rush i mostly use a diamond pickaxe with eff X and just go nuts

I remember when I used to do that many months ago wondering how the hell Jet, Frost and Whale got so many points.. This was back not long after I started and got my first efficiency X thinking it was the best pickaxe in the game. Those were some dark times

ok just so everyone knows this. i hope the players that found out are not too mad at me if you use spectral eff 5 + haste 2 + zanite ring it gives you insta breaking. So i think that is how you can premine fast and have higher chances to win the goldrush. I think giving this information to everyone makes the goldrush already morre fair. Btw this isnt a bug as you can check the zanite ring feature on a wiki and it says that your hands will move faster the more damage a zanite ring you wear has.

if you think about it all what jet is saying is that if you change the cap land whale frost and jet will just win more often and get more perfect diamonds. and no one else will still get any diamonds and then you all will cry again and again. it wont work no matter what you do.

This was already mentioned by Jet earlier in the topic so if anyone needs a spanking it's Jet

I don't disagree. However, there are a lot of times in which none of them are here based on my own observations. But, that's not the main point. The main point that I'm arguing is that there are some players who don't have the opportunity to play CraftLand at peak times and are often left out of any opportunity to compete in the gold rush at all. I speak for the minority, and the minority deserves a shot to participate

ups did not see that

I just want 420 wins and 420k points.... well points not sure, but the wins hell yeah!
Doing Goldrush isn't worth it anyways with the Spectral Pickaxes. You lose more Perfect Diamonds each Goldrush than actually earning, trust me... I know what I'm speaking of. Unbreaking 3 is too low to be worth it. I'd love to see more People actually trying in Goldrush though... did you know that you can actually beat someone if they miss the start and you mine like 300 Points bc you premined?

I'm just saying, enough Determination and you'll win. Nothing is impossible. You just have to try.
The ones that complain, are mostly the ones who don't try. The ones who try to win a.e. Hades, Randoro, Caity, will be able to win if they just try hard enough.
