Results of the GB changes

Edit: For anyone upset that this site was down for a period of time today we apologize.  This post alone has had just under 17k visitors in the first 12 hours and blogger is not set-up for that.  We were also notified that if we want to keep this blog they will start putting ads on it.  Thank you for using this site as one of your resources.  We're not asking anyone to click on an ad when they eventually come.  Just enjoy the site as you were before.  Again sorry for the downtime it should be resolved now. 

So the GB changes have gone live on Beta.  

If you play on the app you will eventually see it but the app is currently broken so go to browser.  On browser you will get a lot of 

Just keep refreshing and you'll get there.

The too long didn't read is...

• Unlocking a GB to level 400 before the change works.  See top picture.  
• Base (copper) levels have improved and cost more 

• The refinery will be very costly so just take spots on other people's GB's to get BP.
• Opening levels costs BP and goods (depending on GB coin, supply and medals)
• Those costs will increase exponentially as the level goes up.
• Copper and silver tiers and silver and gold tiers do level in parallel.
• If you read our post here there are no changes.  People on live server should be getting the BP's for the GB's they want so you can unlock to lv 200 or 400 respectively but don't do it yet.  Let's see how Inno reacts to all the people that just bypassed their tier system costs.

This is the bonus to copper level for Arc

And while all 400 levels are unlocked for my Arc this is what it will take to go from lv 180 to lv 181

And here's a better idea of what it will look like as it gets upgraded.

Now to illustrate the costs to level when GB's do not have their levels unlocked I have asked for screen shots of other player's GB.  They did not want their name on here so no attribution will be given but you have my thanks.  

Let's start with GB's that do NOT get the new tiers.  Here's a low-level Hydra.

So just regular copper BP to increase to lv 200 where it will be maxed (for now).  The FP cost increased from 9446 and the SAT goods cost increased by 100 per good.  The higher the copper level the more you'll notice the cost increase.

We did not get a complete list of the upgrade costs for all GB's.  That should come shortly and land on a wiki but just know the cost to upgrade GB is going up by a lot.  The gold and goods sink is in place.

For GB's that do not require a goods cost to unlock a level it will look like this

So you need both the copper and silver to unlock that level or you'll need a silver and gold to unlock levels 200 - 300 

This unfortunate player primed his Traz and only needed 19 FP to level.  After the GB changes he needs 18.5k more FP to level.

Keep in mind this isn't a higher tier building yet.
You can see the increased costs and increased boost.  You'll have to decide for yourself if that boost is worth the cost.

So let's talk about the GB's that give QI boost.  Blue QI fighters got the much better deal as the CDM copper tier gives base fight boosts and FP.

Red QI fighters are getting screwed.  It took a while to find someone to take a screen shot of the Virgo Project.  So this has been a useless building for a long time and you can judge if it still is.  I'd bet nobody has the ability to open level 400 because it's never on the 1.9 threads.

For people that built this in anticipation of getting red QI boosts there will surely be some buyer's regret.  I would probably be able to justify putting it in my city if it was already levelled to 400 but considering the cost to level it?  Give me a break.

That's the cost of just opening a low level.  The refinery will act as a goods sink while the actual levelling will act as a FP sink.  And some GB's are still trash.

So it's very early morning and we want to give you as much information as possible so here are the rest of the GB's boosts.

Show me someone with a huge Atlantis Museum and I'll show you an a-hole.  What a complete waste of a building.  Does anyone still plunder and if you do who hurt you?  Did mommy not hug you enough?

To be fair to the Atomium (spelled incorrect in game) which is garbage now.  You may want to keep this when the next set of upgrades come out.

You'll notice a lot of these that do not have tiers are still never build.  Just remember that these too will get upgrades and those upgrades may be for game mechanics that are not out yet and very scarce boost when they do so the value goes from nothing to must have.

For all the old players that remember the Holly Trinity of GB's you'll be happy to see they're good again.  Hurt my heart to delete all of them.

Of the three the Zeus got the short-end here but it's so tiny.  For me that 6% boost translates to about 2400.

Anyone around long enough to remember when the CF was so good they nerfed it?  Well it's a top-tier GB again!  Given the costs to upgrade GB's people will start doing RQ again.

Inno shit the bed when they made this a GE boost.  What a wasted opportunity to make this building great.

The Space Carrier may have just become obsolete by upgrading it.  The usual strategy of building the SC to lv58, then destroying it and power levelling it again to lv58 from OF onwards is over.  It's just too expensive to level and tear down, repeat.  It's better now to level it (if you build it at all) and keep until you're in the most current age.  Conversely if you're farther on the continent map than you are in the tech tree you no longer need this building.  You'll get enough from excavation sites to age up fast if you've already cleared the map in space ages.

I think that covers all of them.  Hope this helps when planning what to start building on live server.
