Implemented Sell Chest Duration

Resources would be a good item to spend on repairing sell chests, as they currently don’t really have a use (they were supposed to pay for build mode but you now get charged $ instead). A combination of resources and money would be balanced, with the price increasing as you repair each chest more
Repair price:
Resources (500 x [times repaired +1])
In game money (1m x [times repaired +1])

So for example, the first repair will cost $1m and 500 resources, and the 50th repair will cost $50m and 25k resources

I dont use minions but i’m sure the sell chests duration inside minions probably work the same as when placed (whenever it’s active the timer goes down), i’ll have to check though.


tbh, i understand why they’re making the changes that they’re making, the economy was very flawed, specifically with bamboo and cactus, and they’re only trying to stop major inflation so early on. I dont agree with the removal of items from cubit shop and not being able to buy leg keys anymore, people are saying it’s a ‘cash grab’ or whatever, but they’re losing out on money due to it as people arent going to buy hundreds of ancient keys in the hope that they’ll get a few leg keys

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Islands have a sell chest duration by the end of the week, if they haven’t got it already

I understand how minecraft servers are generally just a dictatorship, and changes are made that players find annoying, but this is unacceptable. Players spent 25 cubits per chest and there was never even a official mention of any type of duration or limitation on how long you could use them. Yall screwed over anyone who had purchased them because they thought they would be permanent, after Pizza said the map would last months. I agree that they can be very powerful, but they have the price tag to match their value.

All this nerf accomplished was to hurt new players, and players who aren't "rich" yet. A whole month will still provide tremendous value. The issue isn't that a month is too short to make value off it, the issue is that mid season you guys are changing thing after thing on us, and you made people waste $100s on chests that they will lose in only 30d.

The idea to add repairing is better than nothing, and I support it if they don't remove the timer on chests. It'll at least he'll the people who got ripped off by buying the chests not feel as bad about it. But seriously, stop trying to mess with the eco every other day.. first it was bamboo nerf, then Cactus buff.. into a Cactus and bamboo nerf again, ig buff, minion buff, and now a sell chest nerf. These are the types of changes you make BEFORE a map where it won't just screw over players.

#SaveTheChests ;-;

I got 1 2nd Tier Sell chest in cubit shop before. I'm not a P2W player, I'm a broke ass student. Getting 25 cubits took me quite a while, it wasn't easy tho. Now it has an expiration timer, it made me think that maybe I shouldn't have bought the sell chest, all the hard work I've put into saving cubits (without cf-ing them) kinda wasted lol

If sellchests are endless, rich players will invest 200-500 USD or more in leg keys, put the chests into their minions, become super rich and stay super rich the whole season. Noone will have a chance to beat them later. Does everyone want that? If yes, then remove the 30 days thing. - Or do nothing, then (nearly) noone will spend money for the keys. - On the other side some players already bought sellchests and chunk hoppers. Making them 30 days now is totally unfair. - Difficult situation...

UPDATE:

Sell chests are now a lot easier to get from crates, would be cool to see a non p2w way to get sell chests though! Maybe kilton?
