thank you so much, now my gemstone rates are nerfed, i cant gold mine and cant level up pets as i used to, just for a new island that isnt fun and new gear that costs 2b. i can still do nucleus runs on ch tho, maybe remove that too on next update??

really messed up, funny how the best thing coming out of this update (and the only thing people can use to defend it) is "new skyblock exp"

the sad thing is, they probably wont. wouldnt be surprised if the whole point of this nerf is to make people play the boring update.
 
The Bal changes are getting criticized by the playerbase for good reason and I won't elaborate on that any further than it already has, everyone has made good points about the Bal changes that I agree with. I get the concerns of the current inflation problems but then why give the garden peridot gemstones and leave it be? The Glistening nerf I understand if you guys are adding the rest of the equipment but if it's anything like the pendant already is then that's very unreasonable, alloy still needs some kind of meter, pity system, forge craftable or a revamp of some sort on it as a whole. I'm hoping the crystal commission is one of those introductory commissions that only appears once, the crystals are rare enough as is and having to make keys for that way more doesn't sound too great. Also for the forge I would personally like to see more slots or some upgradable forge kind of like the Composter in a way, I get we already have a HOTM perk for that and this is just a throwaway idea but the forge isn't it right now and needs to be updated.
 
Quite possible the biggest embarrassment I've ever seen from Hypixel.

1. Why even nerf the Bal pet? It's not like there was anything particularly broken about ruby mining compared to mining any other gemstones; it may be faster, yeah, but no one wants to buy ruby. They don't sell for any extra like sapphire or jasper. All this does is unnecessarily make the experience even more unfair for ironman players. If this bal nerf is about mining things like amethyst in magma fields, why not restrict its stats so that it only affects blocks it's supposed to mine?
2. From personal experience, the mining commission involving getting a crystal from a mineshaft is purely unfair, unless you buffed the rates of them. I have mined ~3million glacite powder, as well as done around 3,000 commissions, maybe 100 mineshafts, and not a single one had a crystal in it. Unfortunately, I will never know if rates are buffed since this post included exactly zero information about anything posted on the alpha.

My main issue is the bal pet being nerfed. I understand the increase to the amount of glacite needed for amalgamations, as well as the nerf to the forge times of the refined pieces and plates. The campfire change was fine, and the new commissions, besides the crystal one, seems fine as long as there will always be a collector commission involve (i.e. collect 1,500 tungsten).

Before anyone is saying "Ironman players chose a harder gamemode and complaining when it gets harder" the gamemode's biggest flaw and motivation killer is the methods of making money, as things that drain such heavy money like dark auction, dungeons, etc. all necessitate the fastest money making method accessible. Mining rubies in the magma fields is the best way, and even that Maybe only makes around 35 million/hr with a max setup. Now it will tank to ~27m/hr.
Difficulty is not making things unnecessarily more grindy, especially when it is given no reason. Things like the garden pest system, which makes the garden less semi-afk-able, makes sense when you consider macroers. There's even benefits to having pests. This update should be thoroughly reconsidered before going through.
 
I like you guys didn’t break down the changes here because you know the Bal and commission changes are terrible. Getting a crystal inside a mineshaft is terrible, I’ve only gotten one out of like 20 mineshafts. And to have one commission take up a slot out of 4 is horrible.
Don’t push this update to live because whoever made these changes need to have a third/fourth/fifth pair of eyes on this because there’s no way this is healthy
 
why don’t you post what the changes are? Don’t just say “changes were made” cause not everyone is gonna hop on the alpha
 
I know it's been mentioned a bunch but the Bal nerf is completely out of the blue and something nobody asked for. The pet seems fine and has it's uses for both Ironman and Classic players without breaking the economy. If this gets pushed to main ill be shocked.

Most of the other changes and new items seem fine. Would like to see a slight change in how Shens and Dark auctions run maybe as when new items are added into these systems it takes forever for them to be an affordable price. Maybe make the drops soulbound to prevent the rich from buying out all products of one type and creating a strangle over certain items within the market. The fact items like Clover Helmet are 10-13b coins is insane for example.
 
Bal pet nerf: I don't have one but even I think this was a bad choice.
Glistening nerf: Probs same bad choice as the bal pet.
Abiphone working in Tunnels: Probs a bug but I hope that's intended since my royal Pidgins decided to nest and refuse to leave said nest.
New commissions: Would be nice BUT you made commission bottlenecks even worse now. The dwarven mines have commissions set up as: Non event com, Event com, Non event com, Event com. Why can't the glaciate tunnels commissions be set up as: Non mineshaft com, Mineshaft com, Non mineshaft com, Mienshaft com. Having one working commission about 80% of the time while trying to get heart of the mountain 10 is annoying when 3 are tied to mineshafts.
Campfire: seeing the fire animated is pretty cool, cold taking some time to warm up might annoy some but that makes it the same as heat in the magma fields,
Improved mineshaft exit rewards: Nice change but is the hologram being invisible or disappearing issue been fixed yet?
Also does /warp basecamp now give rewards for exiting the mineshaft before you freeze? I don't have warp on alpha so I couldn't test that.
 
The Bal Change is good, Now. I know hear me out.
The Bal Pet Changes in Hypixel Skyblock have brought about several positive outcomes for players. These changes have addressed balance issues within the game, ensuring that pets are not overly dominant or underpowered. By adjusting the abilities and stats of various pets, the gameplay experience has become more fair and enjoyable for all players. Additionally, these changes have encouraged diversity in pet usage, allowing for a wider range of strategies and playstyles to be viable. Overall, the Bal Pet Changes have contributed to a healthier and more dynamic gaming environment in Hypixel Skyblock, fostering a more engaging experience for its player base, by making it so there isn't a "meta" and so that pets arent exactly a be all end all.

This is why the Changes are good.

AFTEREDIT:
I believe it should be nerfed to 2 Pristine, due to the fact that it can still be seen as meta, and Im also proposing a -50 Mining Fortune on all Tiers of the Scatha Pet, as a way to combat inflation since the Mining Skill is a Main Contributing factor of this Issue.

Actually it's only approximately 13.043478260869% slower

Edit: Bro it won't let me use the Nerd emoji

Edit 2: Or the crying emoji wtf ಥ⁠_⁠ಥ
 
Hypixel team, please whoever made this nerf to the bal pet... revert it, i'm positive 100% that perk never needed to be changed, in fact mining is already a grind enough, just nerfing it makes nothing better about that aspect of the game work. I would also like to throw in the fact that, players that need to grind something essential to progression... like a massive chunk of iron, gold, redstone, coal etc; will clearly, not have the motivation to do so. Knowing, that this unessescary change to this pet that did not need to be adjusted in any way; shape or form, it basically does nothing but make grinds overall way worse than before.

Thing is this is way more than 15% slower for anyone going for 100m/1b gold collection for gdrag as being able to reach the insta-mine cap from Bal + Blue Omlette speeds up gold rates by an insane amount per cooldown. Not sure the actual numbers but from doing 750m gold collection over the past few weeks, anyone thinking of grinding this after the bal nerf is gonna be in for a way longer grind. o7

You clearly have never mined a single ****ing second in your life and used AI to write this please shut up.

Additionally, what are you TALKING about?? balance issues?? the only balance issue is the fact that the new glacite pets are terrible so admins decided to nerf bal to make them feel good about themselves. "Wider range of strategies" my ass. You think we going to be mining with scatha pet in yog armor?? Do you understand what tf a meta is? A meta is the most optimal strategy. What is wrong with a optimal strategy?

And finally the worst goddamn edit in history. NERFED TO 2 PRISTINE?? What are you ON bro?? Are you a farming macroer trying to make yourself viable or some ****?? And of course let's just nerf the last remaining mining pet into the ground because TONS of people use SCATHA for MINING FOR MONEY????


Also if this is bait outstanding job you actually got me upset for a second before i realized you might be trolling with this one
