Do Brain Capacity upgrade cards just stop coming in size 3 and 5 after a while?

I'm level 45 with a brain cap of 51. I haven't been dealt a 3 or a 5 upgrade card since last week.
I suppose it could be just the odds.
Anyone got some insight on this?

  • Yep, once you get above 50, you will only get 1s (so you can't go over limit).

  • No insight, but a capacity of 55 and no 3s or 3s offered since May 12.

    ETA: darn slow posting. And hurray for insight!

  • There's a limit? What is it?

  • 60

  • The limit is currently 60.

  • So what happens if someone has a +5 brain capacity card in their hand and never reshuffles while buying brain upgrades? Could they theoretically get their brain capacity to 64?

  • I think they probably could!

  • Stoot: if someone was saving a +5 and their capacity was made to 60, would they still be able to use the +5 card?

  • Well, that explains why I can't seem to find a +3 or +5 upgrade card.  At least I know to stop waiting for one.  ;-)

  •  Ah, thanks guys. So it seems that 60 is the magic number for both levels and brain capacity!. I'm at 96/50 and that must explain why I haven't seen a +3 or +5 for awhile.

  • Darn, wish I'd thought to try that save a +5 to 65 trick ;) This 508% learning penalty makes me sad :P And I can't make it any lower! Is that by design?

  • By the time you get to a point where you can afford a brain capacity of 60, you are likely to have learned most of the skills anyway, no?

  • But... There will be new skills, right?

  • Well, partially what EarthtoGrace said. And, yeah, I see your point. The average player would definitely develop the way you describe. It's only players who put in a LOT of hours who would have 60 brain capacity before they'd learned most of the skills.

    Though I thought the upgrade system was about improving beyond where we were before. I find that with the 3% penalty changed to 5% that I'm about exactly where I was under the old system after spending like 800k img to get my capacity to the new cap we have in the new system. Seems like changing the penalty from three to five wasn't really necessary if you ask me.

    I guess it's just a tad frustrating. *shrug* It's not too big a deal :) I'm not gonna stop playing or paying you over it, or anything ;)

  • As a matter of fact, I am SO over my brain capacity (all skills learnt) that getting upgraded to the max wouldn't change things much anyway...
