Search cost at higher level
Search cost at higher level
I feel the search cost after level 27 is too expensive.
The rate at which search cost increases per few level is quite consistent up to level 26.
At level 26, it requires 2,000 gold.
At level 27, it will cost 4,000 gold.
At level 31, the cost will be 8,000 gold.
There is also a massive gold sink in all the nodes we upgrade, I don't see the point of adding another gold sink in terms of search cost. I hope dev can have a look in revamping the search cost because I can't imagine what it will be at level 35....

Re: Search cost at higher level
I understand where your coming from because im only a low lvl 12 but I already foresee the issues in gold. given the fact that when I do a search either players are way to high then me or the ones I do wanna get they are all online so I cant hack. but it takes me like 6-10 searches to go on with the actual point of the which is to hack and not to search.Jaystar wrote:I feel the search cost after level 27 is too expensive.

Re: Search cost at higher level
I don't have a problem with the search thing it is too slow down the process of fast leveling up if it will be not introduced people would be spamming search , you get enough loot from one hack to cover that up you also have a very large database.Jaystar wrote:I feel the search cost after level 27 is too expensive.

Sadly I don't have a screenshot to back this up, but I'm pretty sure lv13 and lv14 cost the same. At least in my account it is.Luminaar wrote:Great stuff, thank you.

Tbh, I think you're right - I just didn't want to delete someone else's input without double-checkingHCX - DReaD wrote:Sadly I don't have a screenshot to back this up, but I'm pretty sure lv13 and lv14 cost the same. At least in my account it is.

Lv 15 is 440....
I'm having a horrible suspicion that the cost is based on Core level.... There's no way the search cost is the same 3 levels in a row, right..?
