TOPIC | Anyone else wish we had more Swap Genes?
1 2 3
I honestly dislike baldwins. When it was first introduced, it never had anything I wanted to make so I never used it. Now with the amount of genes you can brew, I wish I'd leveled it. Now level 24 just feels so unbelievably unattainable I'm just disappointed whenever i see a new baldwins gene.

I like the swap stand method of getting materials. The mix of Gathering items and mid level coliseum venues. I won't say i love the coli, but it seems so much more accessible to me than baldwins. I love Firefly, and Blossom has given me a reason to finally gather more plants lol.

After Blossom, no.

Yes! I'd love more genes that accomplished exactly what blossom did: incentivizing high gathering levels. Swipp has proven to be an effective way to accomplish that.

Swipp needs some improvements. If you aren't looking for something that was just added, it can take weeks+ for the trade you're waiting on to show up.

Baldwin's on-demand. Yeah, leveling is a thing, but if you aren't caught up, there's people willing to rent out their cauldrons. It's entirely effort-based rather than luck-based if you can get what you want on your own.

Nope. I don't use Swipp for a variety of reasons, but it comes down to it just being "push a button to generate a random number. Did you get lucky? Nope, try again!"

I'm super, super not into gambling-type things, and to me that's what Swipp is. There's no effort or skill involved, just luck, and it's thoroughly boring.

Anyways, at least Baldwin kind of feels like I'm doing something, not just pushing an RNG button over and over, hoping RNGesus does what I want.

Baldwin's is healthier for the economy and easier to access. It's really not hard to level your cauldron, and because so many people have high levels, the prices of Baldwin genes end up as a tiny upcharge on the price of all components anyway - so it's not like people who never Baldwin are locked out of them.

Also, I don't like the way Swipp incentivizes gathering. 'Get 20 of this four-star item' just pushes you into grinding the same element and game gather type for months. That's not fun at all.
