Hey everyone. I really love this game — I’ve been playing since 2020 and regularly support it with donations. But leveling up has become insanely difficult lately, and honestly, it’s starting to feel catastrophic. Please do something about it 🙏🏻

The game is becoming incredibly boring and depressing when all you do is endless farming for experience. Getting an animal with an EXP perk, even a common one, feels like winning the lottery now.

It’s especially painful when you only have a little free time after work to log in, relax, and enjoy the game... Back then, leveling felt so much better and more rewarding.

Please consider adding EXP food buffs or give players a way to buy EXP bonuses with silver or real money. But the current system really doesn’t feel good at all. At this point, gaining even one level while playing only 1–2 hours a day can literally take an entire month... and it honestly kills the motivation to keep playing.

# pale heart I'll put it in my report

Thank you so much for listening 🙏🏻
I really appreciate it.

Also, in town, it would be much better if players could buy more than just 2000 EXP — maybe larger amounts for silver or real money.

That would honestly be fantastic and would help a lot of players, especially those who only have limited time to play after work. Thank you again 🙏🏻

his is a very important topic for my alliance! I've recruited players up to level 120, and they want to level up, but they can't due to the high level requirement! We have an alliance with a T7 headquarters, and we're facing a similar issue. The members can't complete mines or activate 5 buffs!

Well keep producing 1 t7 bait for pigs a day,and just take one every day so u must get one with rare or epic Partner skill overtime.
Than just take it everywhere and to CT and spam it for coins,sugar,expirence.
No much need to lvl.up fast now
New tier not gona come soon. Better to develop skill tree good I belive.

I understand your point, but I have already tamed 100+ boars, and not a single one had even a common EXP skill. That doesn’t feel normal.
And it’s not only boars — there are also bears, alligators and wolves. The problem is the same: everything depends too much on luck.

There actually is a need to reach at least level 120. I’m currently level 117, and I’ve been trying to gain one level for more than a month. But I simply don’t have enough time to play and farm for half a day every day.
There should be alternative ways to get EXP for players who want to progress, but can only play for a limited time 😉
And about bait… my friend got a boar with epic EXP skill on his second try, while I haven’t been able to get one for half a year 😂

#

Also, low-level players can’t really apply to strong alliances. They are forced to stay in weaker alliances, suffer from low gold income, or eventually quit the game.

I’m honestly close to quitting myself… Leveling has become extremely exhausting for me, and at this pace it may take me half a year just to reach level 120.

That’s why I really think the game needs more alternative ways to gain EXP, especially for players who still love the game but simply don’t have enough time to farm every day. 🙏🏻

Well yes u right. Thay shoud have offers for that. Even vip dont help u there if u dont have time.
Bears and gators I used uncommon Partner skills.
No luck with pigs yet,but I also slow down,no need to rush expirence once u hit 120lvl mark.
As alliances goes keep in touch,if spot opens or hq is upgraded,we dont mind 115+,for example,there are those that look other things than just lvl.

yeah, adding alternative exp food buff would be nice

#

it should be around 100% to 150% xp buff as t6 food as levelling up becomes harder after 110 level.

#

especially from 115 level

slim hazel
#

make around 100+ boar bait , you could easily get a uncommon partner skill perk boar

#

may be rare one if you are lucky

#

i got a rare partner skill on boar today.

#

i need around 100 bait to find that skill

#

i found out 4 uncommon and 1 common partner skilled boar.

#

my tips would be make around 10 baits and go to flooded plateau and lure boar and keep checking their skill and keep farming coal and chromite ore

#

i hope you know how to check lured pet skill without taking them to ranch

#

if you don't make your energy very low and lure pet and take them to silverton it will show their skill , if don't get the required one , release it and lure another else take it to ranch

Low level players?
Problem is, leveling too fast have its own problem (there’s a reason why I level locked myself at 55, until I can get “enough” shoes, and skills).
||One thing I can suggest is, let the one selling XP in Silverton, sells it mixed, a constant value, and a fraction. e.g. Instead of 1000 XP, it sells 1% + 500XP (numbers should be scaled better, as idk how much XP one need to level up each level).||

# summer spruce How?

make your energy very low and lure pet and take them to silverton it will show their skill , if don't get the required one , release it and lure another else take it to ranch

#

not necessarily silverton but to the location that takes more energy than you have and less than 100 energy

#

for flooded plateau silverton works well.

Unplayable without the EXP pet perk. Literally the only reason I invested into pets was to get that 75% exp bonus.... Once again, very bad game design. Exp gain is completely revolving around having that perk because the entire game is balanced around PAY TO WIN players who literally don't need anything and can complete any content with ease... at which point it begs the question why they're even doing any content to begin with but... yeah... that's the so called ''balancing'' for ya

# pale heart There never been any rush with the level , you are free to take your time with i...

I understand that. I've been playing this game for a decade as 100%F2P and I'm lvl 105... I'm just stating the obvious that EVERYTHING in this game INCLUDING EXP GAIN is balanced around PAY TO WIN Players who DO NOT NEED ANYTHING and can complete ANY CONTENT. That's why some systems in the game are super hardcore... because it's not geared towards normal ppl but instead MONEY whales... who have the maxed out gear, maxed out lvl, maxed out everything, infinite energy etc but are still playing the game for some reason and things are still balanced around these ppl... why... MONEY! f off, give me money. That's why.

Just add to report,there are working people with very little playing time,that even vip dont help with 2x expirence in higher lvls. So make Gustav sell book of expiremce based on our tier.
Whats t7 player gona fo with 2.000xp,u can get more in iron mine.😅
Make it like 200.000,500.000 ofers for 50 and 100coins.

# pale heart Yeah , i know . As a moderator i write down all problems players encounter , and...

Well, since you're asking 🙂 I personally feel that the wagon and random safe needs to be changed. The random safes need to be somehow different. The missions that require safe transportation are not good because the wagon is too expensive to move and the wagon needs to empty to move the safe. And then I think that the random safe should be an EXTRA thing that I can find and be happy that I found it, instead of annoyed that I once again don't have my wagon with me and therefore cannot take the safe. That whole mechanic isn't working for any type of player because nobody is moving the wagon to every map they play so everyone is always skipping that safe. Maybe all of this can be addressed by changing the wagon. Not sure.

Anything else ?

# pale heart Sounds good . Imma put it on report

When a player opens a new area many things in the game will jump to the next TIer, examples would be Timed events, tracks for lvling up, quests and maybe even the ranch attacks, not sure. This can and does often happen before the player is ready for any of this content since they only just opened Tier 5 area for example. So a player with T4 equipment is faced with T5 enemies, tracks and quests they cannot complete and thus will have to ignore. Perhaps if the tier jump was connected only to the character level it would feel like a better experience. Not sure. Also, a quest board mission asking to collect map fragments in the T3 iron mine is bugged currently. When you enter the map there are no fragment loot points to interact with.

#

The new threat mechanic also jumps to the next tier and is way to difficult.

You can even see such a complaint right now in cowboy chat

Yes.

#

We should have board full of opportunities, and cap to do 2-3 as daily.

pale heart
# trim nimbus Yes.

Buying map is not worth it at all , since the price is way too high . We do the quest for silver , not for anything else

I wished we could have option to do missions with only one reward - Silver coins.

Basically 10 coins and some ores because of bug..

The best I've got is the rare bleed...

And epic jump (300% damage on first attack)

When you lure an animal, leave the location and click anywhere but the ranch a pop up appears telling you the animal will run away and you can also see its rarity, fertility and traits.

You could even enter the same location and described above appears. Useful if you are equipped with plenty of baits and you’re looking for a specific features in a pet. You don’t have to keep it, just reenter and it will be gone and you can continue baiting. Saves you meat, but you loose points for turning in pet in NC.

# trim nimbus In my humble opinion, It's not possible for pet to use that perk - target needs ...

It works just fine against bandits and animals that are actively aggressive.

i just have to go near the bandits, enough for them to see me/target me, then my epic (300%) sudden attack bear can see them and target them. For T7 enemies I let the bear hit first then shoot the bandit they've hit. This kills most bandits, the flamethrowers and bosses generally need 2-3 bullets after bearsmack.

For wolf packs (aggressive from the start) my bear will also go for them as soon as they run at me, I don't have to shoot first.

# solid rock I donated the boar 🐗, I only have the bleed one...

bleed is better for boar anyway I think as it's relatively low damage, because bleed goes straight against hp it can make a lot more difference
sudden attack is worth it in bears where they pack a massive punch to begin with, and ofc in puma where it's the default skill anyway and they can have a second good one too

Just enter the same zone again. You would get a warning and show the pet's skills.
