Cave monthly and SARC Changes

I'm making this topic to discuss possible changes to cave monthlies and the SARC. I have suggested some of these ideas on other topics but wanted to consolidate them together here for discussion.

Cave monthlies: Cave monthlies have been a great addition to the cave. They make going to the cave more dynamic and allow newer players to quickly get some rarer creatures. The first few cave monthlies released have a rarity in the 50s, however, with the new steal every 20 minutes system, recent cave monthlies are reaching a rarity well over 100.

In order to limit the current month long rush for a monthly I suggest that egg cave release one new creature a month into the cave and then retire one existing egg cave creature. This will keep the number of creatures available in the cave constant and give users a reason to care about the creatures that have been in the cave for awhile. You never know which creature will get retired at the beginning of the month.

You could also offer the retired cave creature in the csp for the rest of the month.

SARC: Next I suggest that the other cave creature go into the science and research center for 2.5 million ex and retire at the end of the month. This will be huge for the egg cave economy. It will bring the value of ec way up, combat the intense inflation we are experiencing and make the science and research center a much bigger deal.



What do you think?

I really like the idea of getting new creatures in the science and research center. I think it would be awesome to be able to buy something new there, and like you said, it would give EC more buying power, which is obviously something users want.

@poe yeah! Thanks for the response 😊 I think it would even encourage users to amend more on cc because they would have a more dynamic trading economy

@gabrieltaft I think this is a great idea im new ad have a hard geting rare creatures so the cave monthly idea is great and the SARC idea is perfect ec value should really be increased. 😊 nice thoughts.

@lechubacabra I reply to your "im new ad have a hard geting rare creatures":

Yeah, well... That doesnt go on its own. It takes time and effort. Everyone has or had to do it at some point so thats not really a reason to increase ECs value.

@gabrieltaft

As for the cave release ideas, I'm somewhat neutral. I do agree that the twenty minute thing is making these monthlies less and less rare. Although I do like that these cave monthlies expire. And I agree that they should retire some older cave creatures although maybe once every two months.

And I agree wholeheartedly with the Science and Research Center creature ideas.

@gabrieltaft

I'm with @sandstorm99 on the monthlies and maybe retiring some current commons.

It'd be nice to see some new SARC creatures, 😊
