Publish 122 "Cracked eggs" have no turn in value ?

in General Discussions

They should have some value, nonetheless, to my opinion... by spawning they took the place of other eggs so I think they should be worth at least something.

Also, considering how a Mature egg costs 10,000 or even 80,000 points, the turn in value for eggs is way too little.

I mean, with an average of mere few points for an egg (how many flawless eggs one might get ?), it will litterally take thousands and thousands of eggs to get and turn in before one can finally get 1 Mature egg.

I think that either the cost for a Mature egg is way too high or, the value for regular eggs to turn in is way too low.

    Tell me you have not tried this, without telling me.

    They have a value of one. Where did you get the information that they have no value?

    He might have gone to TC or someone else did.

    You don't get any cracked eggs from the egg clicky.

    Whomever went, did not do any content that would give you a cracked egg to test.

    @popps I guarantee that someone will have the 80k dragon on day 1.

    A guy has a bag of Flawless on a vendor. Did you look at my matriarch thread and see how many eggs I got in one night?  I've done that MANY nights and there are others who play a lot more than I do.

    I used the clicky to get regular eggs countless times and I got not a single cracked egg... got all of the others but not the cracked ones so, I figured that they had no value and that was why the clicky was not giving them.

    This.

    Hence I figured, if the clicky was not giving them, that it was because they have no value (and thus pointless for the clicky to give them).

    The highest that I saw is the flawless eggs giving 20 points.

    Now, 80,000 / 20 = 4,000 flawless eggs.

    Considering that the odds of getting a flawless egg in a pack of the other eggs is 1 in... I guess quite a low figure, in order to get 4,000 flawless eggs HOW MANY regular eggs a players would have had to gather ? 100,000 ????

    This is beyond absurd, to my opinion.

    Why do you think you need the 80k egg on the first day? This is permanent content.

    It is based on NL the more you play the more you get.  YOU asked for that.

    @popps did you notice the other clicky that gave magical eggs?

    Have you taken that 80k beauty for a test drive?

    Yes, I saw and used the other clicky that gives the magical eggs...

    Too bad, though, that (I assume) this eggs worth a lot of points are only on the Test server for testing purposes and won't be (I imagine) present also on Nests when the Publish will be released...

    If Flawless eggs with 20 points will be the highest points eggs, it will take a ridicolous amount of time before one can get to 80,000 points...

    But you will eventually get one.

    Eventually...

    One needs to consider though, the serious time put into the effort if the figures remain these (20 points higher turn in value for a rarer to get flawless egg and 10,000/80,000 for a Mature egg to claim)...

    And this, to perhaps even then find out that, due to the RNG, when one converts the Mature egg, it turns into a 110.0 Wrestling Juvenile Umbrascale rather then a 130.0 Wrestling one ? Wouldn't this be a real bummer after so much time spent to get it ?

    A whole lot of time that perhaps, just perhaps, could have been spent in something else, more profitably ?

    But turning in eggs isn't the only way to get that mature egg. My hopes are more on this bullet point in the notes:
    • Greatly increased chance for a Mature Umbrascale Dragon Egg 

    Which comes in the list of the contents of the nest when undertaking the super massive dragon nest maps

    It is a mistake to make those kinds of assumptions.

    I think you’re treating a video game like it’s a quarterly earnings report. Yes, the point totals are high. Yes, the RNG might give you a 110 instead of a 130. That’s the nature of games. They’re meant to be played, not audited. If someone feels “a whole lot of time could have been spent more profitably” that’s usually a sign they’re approaching the hobby with the wrong mindset, not that the system is broken.

    Most of us log in to relax, have fun, and maybe snag something cool along the way. If the only way an event feels worthwhile is if every minute spent converts into maximum value output, that’s not gameplay, that’s a job. Play because you enjoy it. The rewards are a bonus, not a contract. 

    That is at least how I see it, or at least how I believe I see it, or at least how I currently understand myself to be seeing it. Your mileage may vary, of course, at least that is how I see it, in the extended, needlessly reiterated, redundantly clarified sense of seeing it.
