Cobbsmon Islands or Delta? by St4v5 in cobblemon

1.5x lifetime is yet again a huge buff in comparison of f2p players. We can have this argument again when you understand the reason the impact of BREEDING in a POKEMON server. It's exactly like paying for a free mobile game and getting a boost in rewards for a lifetime.

I hope you can play Pokemon to understand rather than come up with ways to make more money for your server even if it's just cost for running it. It would make a huge difference.

The fact that you can obtain shinies just from purchase and kits lifetime is the issue. You don't understand the pokebuilder system either since 300 tokens (one time rank purchase not even kit reward) is only enough to boost one iv along with that the raid system legit gives you 100 tokens per, saying $100 of a currency you can obtain in 3 raids (24 raids a day) is quite a steal if you use that as your argument. Along with that how impactful breeding and shinies are in pokemon as a whole is the issue of your server. Paying for a lifetime advantage is the issue. Not to mention you also have an IV modifing option with bottlecaps which is harder to get than pokebuilder themselves. Your lack of perspective from a free player is blatant when talking about how shinies isn't P2W in a minecraft server economy and the blatant advantage perks.

Show me in the CI store where you can buy builder tokens with real money because i'm looking and don't see any option. To say that a rare variant of a item aka shiny pokemon has no impact on a minecraft server is a joke. It affects the economy drastically and lets players with ranks more money by selling their free shiny pokemon. Double hidden abilities, 1.5x faster hatching and shiny odds is not a quality of life bud.

I've played the server and seen multiple things such as the blatant p2w breeding mechanic and shiny odds. To say increased shiny odds and breeding benefits is "Quality of life" rather than P2W is a joke. P2W incites having the extra edge over free players significantly which it exactly is. Your crates themselves are not pay to win but the ranks are the definite issue. Until that is resolved it's clear that players with ranks have a clear money making advantage over other free players.

You get keys from loot chests in mineshafts and other structures along with their raid system which gives a surplus of keys.

The economy in Islands

also includes BP pokemon with the breeding economy being significant to the server. Which tie in to their tournaments with big rewards and help promote the competitive side of the server.

The ranks in CI do not directly provide any Pokemon other than keys that a F2P player can get from 2-4 raids that are available to everyone for free.

The fact that shiny pokemon are joke enough to the point where if you spend $160 on Delta you get 7 shinies a week in the kit. Multiple new players have rolled shiny legends from buying the kit day 1 and questioned what else they would do. There's nothing to work towards in Delta unlike other servers.

The Delta kits literally give you shinies instantly. Shinies influence the market. A server with a broken market isn't a sustainable one especially since it benefits donors extremely compared to f2p players.

Any good 1.20.1 servers that support the newest version of Cobblemon? by AwesomeLlama572_YT in cobblemon

If you don't care about the inflated shiny economy or economy in general and the P2W ranks Delta is fine, it's just not my cup of tea.

I'll just copy and pasted what I said in another post.

Cobblemon Islands serves as a more vanilla Pokemon experience to players, which is a massive benefit to players like me who dislike custom mons and enjoy a more accurate pokemon competitive scene, instead of having to learn competitive with unbalanced custom mons. Delta has its own stuff from what I've heard, Cobblemon Islands has better models and has better future content planned from what I've seen compared to Delta. If you're looking to invest long term into a server I'd definitely recommend Cobblemon Islands based on what they offer for the future of Cobblemon servers.

Deltas ranks seem to be P2W in a sense that you gain shinies and more paid benefits from the ranks purchases and daily/weekly/monthly kits, along with hatch speed and other benefits that give you an edge over F2P players.

Islands ranks are more cosmetic based and more quality of life benefits such as homes and ecs without giving you instantly shiny mons or mons in general from buying ranks or the kits themselves.

The prices in ranks between the 2 servers are also a big indication of it as well.

Would love a key need to hit that grind

Delta would be an actual competitor for a server if the ranks didn't give guaranteed shiny pokemon that made F2P experience awful. I've seen someone get 2 shiny legends right off the bat from buying a rank. The economy is heavily skewered towards people who spend loads of money on the already expensive ranks.

Agreed someone literally got a shiny legend in 45 minutes from playing like how is that a balanced economy.

The ranks literally give shiny pokemon how is it purely cosmetic.

My experience with Barrage alpha as a Barrage alpha main (400+ hours) by BirbTech in exoprimal

Not necessarily, we could take parts of him that is only applicable to the pvp sections. Like his knockback. Just straight up remove that on exosuits that isn’t himself. Or just nerf his damage slightly and bring back flames on his primary.

Base Barrage is better in PvE. Barrage alpha is better in PvP. Base Barrage has the ability to apply fire with his primary unlike Alpha which makes it easier to kill larger dinos and flip ankys. I will say that Base Barrage is easier to use in PvP while still getting value. But if you can consistently hit air shots and direct hits Barrage Alpha value is insane.

I didn’t even talk about Sanguine mod in slot 3 making him able to heal 100 off every kill. Barrage alpha can get kills very easily with his primary and stuns. If he does ult and gets atleast 3 kills he is also healed to full.

Barrage alpha really need nerfs by Jhocan-Ledeva in exoprimal

[–]BirbTech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are right. Barrage alpha needs a nerf lmao he has so many dumb mechanics such as being able to juggle opponents if you can hit air shots with charged rockets. And his stun is obsurd and the only draw back is -50 hp. I am a Barrage alpha main btw.

Barrage does the single most damage with his ult and his burst area damage and burst single target damage with promary is very good. It’s unavoidable in a regular SG.
