Notagreatplayer Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Why nerf shards in genesis? Yes you could consider this a rant, but for good reason. It’s now NO JOKE, 90-100 shards per ele rock with a 130 Dmg Mining drill. Dude. On 4x. That’s just stupid. Isn’t this game time consuming enough? Now I gotta do 6-7 element runs on gen just to make a skiff? Come on guys...What’s the point of nerfing them this hard? Yes, maybe you got a little bit more than you should. But don’t decrease it by 70 percent...That’s just silly. People come to gen to get tek stuff, but the fact that It takes a entire day to get the element needed for a skiff is just silly in my eyes. I don’t know if anyone else feels like this, but you know where I’m coming from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piffguru Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Its better with an anky btw but I agree I wish they didnt nerf it a while back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamCam123 Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 The reality is that decision was made to prevent pvp op tribes. But it does impact pve where things work differently. Pve is a sandbox for building and breeding while pvp is a man eat man sandbox game. Also I think 99% of the time they lack consistency in their decisions because they are noobs at developing games.

Like in the main lava pit areas? Yes those are the places with the most red crystals but since the magmas respawn 1 or 2 every 15-30 seconds id say, it becomes difficult or even nearly impossible to do solo. I farmed those spots with a tribemate a couple times before with 1 person on a giga killing all the magmas and any that respawn while an anky rider harvests. With a third person and a skiff it can be done very quickly but since I am solo most times I just stick to the easy pit and the outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A guy on PS4 posted a video where he uses a Mek shield to farm solo. I'll see if I can find and link it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It stopped the lava spit I believe then he just had some aggressive or neutral Rex's with. Effective but probably easier to make a friend.

jedikitteh Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 It was nerfed because it made Extinction element veins obsolete. Genesis was producing far more element than Extinction and still does, but now the gap is close enough that running a vein is not a complete waste of time anymore. Farm with skiff. On official servers you should still be getting like 900 element per 30 min run around the volcano circuit. That's still very overpowered considering a 50K ele veins will only yield a fraction of that, and require you to find one, then spend ages doing wave defense.

Piffguru Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Well that looks like a terrible experience, but the surviving the eruption with the mek is interesting. Never tried that one, always just pull out the magmasaur if I needed to stay there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's slower but effective as a solo farmer. I wonder if you have to have shield and be in mek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyBear Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 U r safe inside mek like a magma . I suspect also safe in a tek suit as well. TRibemate accidentally dismounted during an eruption a and he wasn’t killed or damaged. Not sure if that burns up the dura on the suit though.

Snhazzy Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 You can get 90-100 shards per smack on 1x with a decent anky (700+ melee) considering there are so many crystals just on the outskirts of the volcano I usually get 90 element per run which is pretty good considering there are no threats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive been direct hit by volcano blasts and instakilled a couple times in that area. Atleast it didnt 1 hit by dinos and they survived unlike on the lunar zone...

AwesomeRon Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 My math (untested) says clearing all three pits where the magmasaurs are should yield 1800+ element on 2x (4x technically). That’s one run in under 30min with 3 people. One skiff, one anky rider and one giga rider. Anky has 1500 melee. Pretty OP if you ask me. We have nearly 50k element, so it’s pointless to run now.
