#### No Bous mining anymore?

Now when I mine, I don't get special "treats" such as ruby, diamond anymore, no matter how many times I mine. Also, my mining time has significantly lengthened--now it takes a while to mine a rock. I feel like it's a downgrade of my previous high level. :(

- Bonus gems and decreased mining time come from Upgrades now.

- You need to get lucky and purchase upgrade cards for mining! Will increase speed and treats...

- Actually, it's pretty awesome, once you get them...I get more gems now than I ever did...I think I'm still waiting on one timing card...but all in all...it's way better now.

- I'm with the original poster, that sucks. I mean, upgrades are great and whatever, but if you spent all that training time..I dunno, it looks to me like the game is probably transitioning to a micropayments sort of thing.

- Its shitty. We spent all that time learning the skill and now we cant even use it. Plus it uped learning time on other skills. They should take some time off learning other skills to make up for it. I only have two left and one is like 70 damn days. Thats insane.

- No Earth money is required for game-play skills or tools. It does take imagination, which the OP should have roughly 100k to 150k of on day 1 of iMG.
  The gameplay now has a longer tail (more things to do which have a gameplay impact, unlike say "Bounder, Tenured"), so a level 31 by design has more to look forward to now.

- JoJack, you're only level 21, and have nearly every skill already. Even in the old rules, the last skills have a huge % penalty. Try unlearning some useless skills (most people consider BA1 and BA2) or, buy capacity upgrades to reduce your penalty.
  You already have all the speedier I/II/III upgades, reflecting you having BL prior to cutover.

- I agree, the way they changed the mining - upgrades needed on top of the skills - really hurt. But whatever. It's how the game is played now and they're not going to change it so.. :: shrugs ::
  Not sure yet if it's enough to get me to quit playing. I am pretty sure it's not nearly enough though. Prettttyyy certain. :: nods nods :: ...

- You have to remember that yes we did have a lot of time put into the skills but you need to look at the changes from a new players view. Imagine getting one of those cards as a lvl 10 that gives you a lot more gems.
  Also consider how fast a lot of players made it to level 60 in the old style. If it were left like that new players would get to 60 just as fast and then get bored and stop playing. The game needed to be stretched out more to keep players interested and challenged.

- I quite like it now I'm used to it.
  Finally got all of my mining upgrades and it feels good. The imagination aspect of it also gives me more incentive to collect it and I'm now getting around 20-30k each game day as opposed to 4-5k exp when it wasn't that rewarding.

- get some reshuffle cards when they are cheap at auction, a few of those and i got the few cards i wanted; most of those were for mining.
  pile up meat and donate it, use ehsp and you will get quite a lot of iMG if you need more. a couple of weeks and you will have your skills to where they were, or better. its only been a few days.
  use this spreadsheet to see what cards you want and then its not nearly such a nightmare:
