I think I feel a massive blizzard coming this way....
Is it cold in here, or is it just me?

It might seem like this would be the case, since the red, yellow and purple minerals will be deposited less now, but you're forgetting one very important factor here: no one deposits minerals skillfully anyways ;)
Also, if less of certain minerals are put in, the gate start paying you more for them (this is probably how it works, I'm not going to check). So the money-hungry folks will still deposit those minerals.

Looks like Heater and Skelly Shields might get more attention.

That's actually a really cool (ha!) side effect of minerals being used as a crafting material that I hadnt thought of. I love it!

They will probably release
They will probably release new sprites in the future that use the blue/green minerals, so I am holding on to them, thank you very much.

@Theopholis
At the absolute maximum, a gate will only pay 4cr per mineral. Even at that point, the players trying to maximize their minerals would be better off waiting for new sprites to be released; the motes, dusts, stones, orbs, and stars are going to get crafters well over 4cr per mineral.
:C Looks like that Master Miner achievement is going to have to be put on hold for me, again.

......And if all of the rational players hold their minerals, then the irrational ones will decide the gates.
And I predict that the irrational players will on average hold more green and blue minerals.

But would the irrationals deposit all the same minerals for 1cr or hoard them too?

They'd deposit them. If they found the arcade.

"They'd deposit them. If they found the arcade."
That is a very big if.

There are enough of them to make it happen for some of them; and inevitably they will be next to the only ones depositing.

Look, Fehzor. Manipulating gate construction is like fighting global warming.

Time for Kat Hat/Skolver Coat combo :P (Finally!)
...also, less fire and shock strata!
...and fiend strata...

What is of interest to me is the non-ice themed levels. They should be random? Either random or random slightly favoring things that use blue/green.

People are stupid, but i don't think they're THAT kind of stupid. We just need to give them a map.

Well then...
Better start looking for a frost resist UV...

Actually, its pretty much hit or miss with ice for armor. If you want to prepare for the blizzard, I'd suggest getting dread skelly shield + heater shield + [ironmight/omega with ice UVs], and then just straight up chaos for the actual levels.
Sun, 08/04/2013 - 11:11
#20
Wait...
This is all operating under the assumption that people will actually bother picking up Valestone and Moonstone againymore. Plus, if you go in parties, there are still people who will pick up the other two minerals that are useless to you that you'll deposit.
Sun, 08/04/2013 - 11:40
#21
nope. I beleive that if you don't pick up a mineral, it goes in the gate that will substitute it. so blizzard is coming.
if it's totally random, well, I hve my ideas and none's gonna stop em.

It looks like the core is dying out. The temperature is getting colder and not even loose heat can level up our weapons (we have to forge them with concentrated heat blasts from fire crystals)
It's also stopped producing mist, so Knights are now powering elevators with what reserve energy they've stored up beforehand.

Lets say a huge green and a tiny purple drop. Which one would you choose?
Sun, 08/04/2013 - 13:27
#24
I'd pick up the yellow one.
I'd pick up the yellow one.

@Owlert
That isn't true, the max isn't +4cr. I've seen +5cr before at the newest gate, months ago; Its a rare thing.

Purple. Because I legitimately need it.
In other news, it seems that there's a lot of Crimsonite being used for Sprite food, as it's at 4+ CR at several gate's stratums.

So it begins.
The great ice age of cradle. Or something.

Actually Fehzor, to answer
Actually Fehzor, to answer your titled question, it is just you. You completely ignored me the other day. And you ignore just about anyone whenever you want, as I gather. Don't deny it; you are what's making it cold in here.
On a slightly more serious note, you have enough minerals as I recall to be your own gate, so you could stop this you know.

Well, good thing Skolver set
Well, good thing Skolver set was my first 5* armour set so I will survive the blizzard. Though I do wish I have a heater shield and a magma driver.

So someone else noticed.
We do probably need two more sprites, all things considered.
Or we could just set the Arcade to "permanent randomize" and hope no one notices.

[Comment removed]
as much as I agree with you, I feel that this might be a welcome change to the constant creation of strata that requires dark matter. I'd rather let them be randomly chosen, unless people suddenly stop dumping dark matter into gates en masse for whatever reason. Hey, we can actually get SLIME STRATA for once! A-and, dare I say, FIRE strata!
