Gates
- The two stratums in a tier may not be the same theme.
- Stratums will give a bit of feedback as to how their current theme was determined.
- Mineral payouts will vary between stratums more.
1. The "2 Stratum in a Tier" Rule is completely uncalled for
No users asked for this rule. What they complained about is the all SHOCK gate. This mean that shock as a status should be tweaked, not implement some arbitrary rule about 2 stratum in a tier. I don't think anyone would object to a all poison gate, or all fire gate, or all jelly gate (see project uJelly), or all ____ gate except for shock.
OOO, I know you're still tweaking the gate construction mechanic, but for god's sake ask the players before you force stuff like this down our throat. Just make a thread in the forum, is that so hard?
2. Confusion about gate construction
So how exactly does gate construction work now? What determines the crown payout for any given strata? What happens when 2 stratum in a tier both meet the mineral requirement for the same type?
3. OOO's Naivety
OOO, i know you have a vision of how your game is "suppose" to work. But now that the game is released please stop treating it like your pet project and updating on things that absolutely no one asked for, and collect player feedbacks before you're about to make some changes. Like I said before, no one asked about the changes for "2 stratum in a tier". I thought the entire point of gate construction is so players can have choice in how they want to play the game, and now you're taking the freedom of choice away from the players without prior notice? Who do you think you are to tell me how i want to play the game?
The same applies to the binding update, I know you have some kind of vision for your items, that some items should be "rare" or whatever. But the fact is the players have evolved the game into a semi-stable market, it is very unthoughtful and completely tactless to just barge in the player-run economy and exercise your developer muscles saying "all 7 of us at OOO think the game should be played 'THIS WAY'".
If you want more player to buy CE just be open and tell us that, I for one would be more understanding. If you honestly think that YOU have some kind of given right to tell ME how to play the game...seriously OOO, how DARE you.

I can see why some of the gate changes could have happened - autosellers and gate variety [and I won't go further into that point].
I applaud the effort, though it also doesn't necessarily solve the silent issue of everyone-plays-only-the-boss-gates lol. I'm kind of interested to see what people will do (in terms of gate choice and CE prices) in the short time that the Jelly King stratum is gone.
