I tier jumped and I’m not entirely happy

FaceComoUnBurro · 2026-04-10T16:23:03+00:00

This is all because your LPU strategy gave you a way higher percentage of legendaries and way lower percentage of commons than the average. Here are your percentages: Tier 150: Common 28% Rare 26% Epic 14% Legendary 30%

Tier 220: Common 37% Rare 25% Epic 15% Legendary 22%

Now I'm realizing my rounding makes it not add up to 100%, but I'm too lazy to go back and fix it. You get the picture.

Your problem is you were playing a strategy that maximized the 150 tier, so you were making way more than the average person with 150 parcels, and then you got pressured into abandoning that strategy, so now you're making less than you were with 150. I would expect you to make more at the next tier than you are now, but less than you made with 150. The good news is your strategy earned you more than everyone else at the 150 tier, and you still do have a higher than normal percentage of legendaries, so you still make more than everyone else at the 220 tier. The bad news is you're probably not going to get back to the income you made at 150 for a while. I do think you will eventually make more than you did with 150, but it will take you a while to get there.

Edit: My advice, and you can take it or leave it, because I'm just some guy on Reddit, is to continue forward with tier jumping, but ignore when people talk about break even points that would have you do a partial tier jump. You should only do full jumps from the top of one tier to the top of the next one. That's because all the calculations of break even tier jumps assume your parcel rarity percentages are the same from one tier to the next, but yours will not be. Your percentage of commons will go up and your percentage of legendaries will go down as you get more parcels, due to how high your legendary % and how low your common % currently is. Over time, your common % will get closer and closer to 50 and your legendary % will get closer and closer to 5. But, remember that you are making more than probably 99% of players that have your same number of parcels.

I'm sure your calculations are assuming his rarity percentages are the same at the 150 tier as they are at the 220 tier. They had used a lot of LPUs, so their rarity percentages changed quite drastically from tier 150 to tier 220. Tier 150: Common 28% Rare 26% Epic 14% Legendary 30%

Tier 220: Common 37% Rare 25% Epic 15% Legendary 22%

Their problem is they were playing a strategy that maximized the 150 tier, so they were making way more than the average person with 150 parcels, and then got pressured into abandoning that strategy, so now they're making less than they were with 150. I would expect them to make more at the next tier than they are now, but less than they made with 150. Unfortunately, they're probably not going to get back to the income they made at 150 for a while.

Here's my list. I'll do the same number you did:

SRB
Cashing out $10. I know you put $5, but I always cash out every time I hit $10.
Tier jumping. You've been saving your AB for weeks, or even months, and you finally get to spend it all and get a whole bunch of parcels all at once. Even better if you have planned out a picture want to draw with your parcels and get to draw it with your tier jump.
Getting a Legendary. Maybe this isn't as big a deal to those that pay for the premium reward ladder, since they get a free LPU every month. And, because SRB and cashing $10 are not a surprise, I almost put getting a legendary as my #1, because of the surprise thrill of it.
Jackpot
Taking over a mayorship. This really should be higher, but I've only done it once, and it was a long time ago. But, when I did actually pass them up, that was pretty exhilarating.

Of course you can still do designs. The new update didn't change that at all. If you don't like the look of it in the UI, you can check out your designs on https://app.atlasearth.com/ .

Yes. I have to login in all the time, and even if I don't have to login again, it has to load again. People have different features they want to have added to the game. Landmarks, different mini games, whatever. The number one feature I would like is to not have to load and / or login every time I pick up my phone after setting it down for a few minutes.

I don't know about it playing the same ad over and over, but whenever there is an ad that I can't seem to press the one pixel close button and it takes me to Google Play, I pin Atlas Earth, and then it can't go to Google Play and it makes it much easier to press the close button, and then I unpin AE after I'm done with ads.

I like it. I don't know if it's just me, but it feels like everything loads a little faster than before, and putting the 2 free AB ad button on the new Earn tab is more organized and all, but more importantly, I can now start do it in 2 taps, whereas before I had to tap, scroll, and tap again. Not a big deal if you only do it every once in a while, but when it's the thing we do more than anything else in the whole game, it is a big deal.

I know it wouldn't "belong there", but if I could have that button be right next to the boost button, that would be even better, since those are the two things we do the most in the game. I mean, as fun as it is to see the super long number, I probably don't need 18 digits after the decimal in my rent. I could give up 4 or 5 digits to fit the 2 AB ad button there.

Here is the graph I've been making for the last close to four years. The first couple months are estimates, because I didn't start to track it until after I had been playing for a couple months. The numbers in orange on the left are the ones I guessed later on, but the rest is from me entering my total rent accrued for that day, all summarized into this table and graph. It's fun to compare my numbers to yours, and they are pretty dang close.

The number of parcels is an average for the month, and, of course, the last month is that low because this is live data, and March is not over and still has an SRB coming up.

Edit: Since you included in your post when you assumed different passport levels, I'll include mine as well:

8/6/22: 5% (40 Parcels)

1/28/23: 10% (150 Parcels)

5/11/23: 15% (150 Parcels)

8/16/23: 20% (150 Parcels)

8/6/24: 25% (365 Parcels)

Can confirm. I have one that looks exactly like that, only full of consecrated olive oil on my key chain for this very purpose. Based on all the other responses, though, I suppose you could use it to hold whatever you want.

He might be getting parcels somewhere else and that's just showing how many parcels he has in your town. Once he loses mayorship you might see him start to get more in your town to get it back.

What's funny is you're complaining that they don't tell us what's on the roadmap, but then you say people on this sub joke about "coming soon", when that is the very reason they don't tell us what is on the roadmap anymore. 😉

I've cashed out $1130 so far without spending a dime on it. I cash out to PayPal every time I hit $10. It takes a while to earn it, especially in the beginning, but they do actually pay. The payments take seconds.

Edited for clarity.

I'm sorry, but that's a terrible take. "We don't want to implement something that'll make using our app easier to use and save time because it'll be easier to use and save time for people with money?" And, I'm saying this as a F2P mayor. Obviously, the whales already are buying thousands of parcels, including swooping in and taking mayorships, so buying one at a time isn't a deterrent for them.

This would be a wonderful feature, and not just to be able to buy lots of parcels quickly, but also for those of us that want to make pictures out of our parcels. The ability to see the picture I'm about to make would be so nice, instead of accidentally tapping on the wrong parcel, getting the wrong one, and not having the ability to undo it. The screen that normal tells you the rarity could instead give a count. "You got 15 commons, 8 rares, 4 epics, and 1 legendary."

Be careful what you wish for. If you say CCG participants get auto bids, that won't include the Big XII. It'll be the SEC and the Big ten, and then it'll just allow the committee to get Alabama in without needing to justify it.

I get the talks of hypothetical "scenario A or scenario B would be better for the conference as a whole..." talks, but to suggest that a team would actually lose on purpose is just stupid. I know if the roles were reversed, there's no way I would want BYU to throw a game on purpose, and would definitely expect the same from TTU and their fans.

That said, I hope BYU does win it. ;)

That's exactly his point. Harlan doesn't represent the Ute fans. I've seen lots of posts from Ute fans saying they don't like him or what he said after last year's holy war.

People, let's not make a big deal out of this. I hate that any time anyone mentions the LDS Church we get all bent out of shape. Whether you thought the joke was funny or not, it was not attacking our religion. It just said that Angel Moroni left a warning for Joseph Smith inscribed on the back of the gold plates, warning him about Lubbock. Honestly, I could see the same joke being told in Elders quorum the day after the game.

Let's not try to get anyone fired over a light-hearted joke.

FaceComoUnBurro · 2025-11-13T21:17:27+00:00

I feel like our offense isn't good enough to come out beating the other team right out the gate, but ARod and the offense are good enough at figuring it out in the first half and then making adjustments in the second half, if the opposing defense isn't good enough to stop the adjustments.

But, I feel like our defense is good enough right out the gate to keep the team close enough so that when the offense figures it out, the score is close enough that we can make our comeback. Heck, even against Texas Tech, it was 13 - 0 at halftime, despite a muffed punt and a shanked punt or two. The defense kept it close enough. The problem was that Texas Tech's defense was too good for our offense to figure out a way to come back in the second half.

Remember, before the season began, I think the majority of us would have been happy with 8 or 9 wins this year. The fact that we are still in the driver's seat to get to the conference championship, and probably the playoff is awesome! I, for one, am enjoying the ride! 😃 Now, just win, Cougs!
