Are Atlas Earth's Legendary Upgrades Worth It After All? - Beer Money Roundtable Ep 2.5 (2024)

[@BeerMoneyEngine]

I promise this'll be the last video on this lol. We'll resume our non-Atlas Earth related stuff next week. Also if you want the tl;dr version, start at 21:30

Something I'd like to see in the inventory is personel. Like a worker, you drop off on a plot of land, and after a certain amount of time, the worker improves the property rarity. After upgrading the plot, the worker moves to your next adjacent property and starts improving that parcle, wash and repeat. Also, an explorer that goes to unpurchased plots and claims them.

[@EndlessRoutes]

I agree I wish they would release more characters and features

[@dantesawakening7662]

Upgrades would be beneficial for slow progressing players as well. Time is a factor that most players don't look at as well. Sure tier jumps are better in the long haul but for some players that would be years. Upgrades would be a way to pick up the pace a lot quicker to increasing their rent.

[@BeerMoneyEngine]

I feel like it'd have to be slightly cheaper for that though. I just did some initial math for the optimal strategy guide and I feel like this is more preparation for the next stage of the game once we're out of land (if).

[@dantesawakening7662]

@@BeerMoneyEngine well doing the math with time waisted on stagnating can be a huge loss in gain of profit. The upgrades can be much faster and each upgrade from common to legendary can bring in anywhere from $3.3045408 to $4.130676 a year profit for 2500AB depending on badge lvl in a 365 day a year with two 32hr SRB's a month. The possible gain with the first tier jump to 220 parcels with average rarity in a 365 day year with two 32hr SRB's a month depending on badge lvl is anywhere from $9.6419808 to $12.052476 a year profit for 7000AB. The jump is not a guarantee that you'll be getting that much. It could be higher or much lower. The upgrades for 3 commons to legendary at 7500AB is anywhere from $9.9136224 to $12.392028 a year profit guaranteed as long as they have common parcels to upgrade. A slow progressing player has to consider the possibility that they might have to wait even longer before they would actually see a increase in profit from tier jumps. The upgrades completely take away the gamble for rarities and gives them an instant increase guaranteed. This is just something to put into consideration for players who are less active in the game.

[@poiklp5615]

Honestly as someone who’s approaching 150 I’ll be buying these… but not until I’ve done a couple other things first

[@MrPink-ro1tu]

Question: if the legendary upgrade was instead a new value of parcel, maybe call it Platinum, which was five times the value of a common as opposed to the four times the value that legendary is compared to a common. Would you then be inclined to buy these? If so, would the 2,500 AB cost be justified? Thanks for the video and any thoughts you have on this.

[@leea9066]

Costumes are a cool idea and there is so many places it can be took for example swapping AB for a chest the gives you a random costume or simply just making the costumes cosmetic but in an AB situation the costumes could have benefit like the badges where it boost income based on rarity or even how many you have collected. This could as be turned into a fun city minigame where like in a city they could throw out 3 of these chests and everyone in that city has to compete for them weather it's watching adds for clues or watching adds to unlock or even paying AB to unlock it. Like a race to find the chests maybe realise a chest event every month for each city. There is so many things they can do with costumes just use your imagination. Really cool idea

[@JRogers57]

There are really endless possibilities, I want a bicycle for my dude

[@CitizenKev2]

This Idea is amazing!!

[@leea9066]

@@CitizenKev2 thank you

[@leea9066]

@JRogers57 exactly endless possibility to add more excitement to the game. We can only look forward to the future and see what they have planned.

[@RetroreviewsPlus]

Okay guys would like some advice here. I'm a free player of Atlas Earth besides the $1.99 I paid in The wizard of Oz which that got me 98 Atlas bucks other than that I'm playing games doing surveys watching ads and going to Burger King and advance Auto parts. My question is does the current mayor get notified when other users are getting close to passing them and becoming the mayor? Right now where I live the current mayor has 146 parcels, right now I have 138, will they be notified if I tie them and they're on the verge of losing the mayorship?

[@BeerMoneyEngine]

No. They're only notified when they lose the mayorship.

[@RetroreviewsPlus]

@@BeerMoneyEngine okay cool cuz my plan is to buy 8 more parcels so we will be tied at 146, then wait till I have 400 Atlas bucks so I can buy 4 parcels of land back to back quickly so that way when I pass them I get to 150, ninja style I guess lol that way if they want to reclaim the mayorship they'd have to be willing to sacrifice the 30x boost to go down to 20x , curious what you think

[@ericblanchard5873]

2500 AB is rediculously high, but the plots are cool looking. They need to lower the price to about 1k AB. Then I'd be buying them all day long. I don't think I'll even be buying 1 at that price.

[@tylerlaflamme1601]

Same here

[@dantesawakening7662]

@@ericblanchard5873 As a USA player, 1000AB an upgrade would literally make tier jumping points. Upgrading 7 commons to legendary with 7000AB would be over 2× more profitable than spending 7000AB on the tier jump to 220 parcels. Not only that a player wouldn't have to wait until they have 7000AB to start increasing their rent. They would only have to wait on a 1000AB to earn more than 1/3 of what the tier jump would give them. The first tier jump has an average of $9.64 per year gain with no badge and $12.05 with 101+ badges. The value of one upgrade is $3.30 per year gain with no badge and $4.13 with 101+ badges. Just 3 common upgrades beat the gain for the first tier jump so that's why the price is 2500AB and not 1000AB for an upgrade. Atlas Reality is not going to pay players who have 150 parcels or less more money at a faster rate than the players who did the tier jumping. That would be extremely unfair considering that if a player spent the same amount of AB as I have in buying parcels on upgrades. They would make about $52 more a year with no badges than I make at 730 parcels 11 badges. That would piss me off not only because I would be making less but I also I have to wait a much longer time before I can start increasing my earnings again, while the player who's at 150 parcels can continue to increase that lead every 1000AB they make by $3.30 minimum as long as they have common parcels to upgrade. I hope this makes you rethink your complaints about the 2500AB upgrades.

[@davincimachen5517]

If a player is able to "design" plot upgrade and sell it, wouldn't that take in direction to something like NFT's lol

[@BeerMoneyEngine]

Fun little secret.. NFTs are really just glorified microtransactions lol.

When I seen this I was like pfft? 🤯For me if I got a 2500 Atlas bucks I'm going to buy a 25 parcels of land

[@stormraven4183]

I agree that they need to increase the "gamification" factor. The arcade is okay, and mini games are good for those who play them, but I want more anytime in-game activity. Besides, you never know if you are actually going to get your arcade points without a loooong wait from support, and not everyone can play the mini games (I have MS & arthritis, so zero finger speed & dexterity). Oh, and for the record, Tastywallet--**I AM** that person who is bedfast most days, and other than possibly a single plot "decorating" my home base, I will never pay for legendary upgrades at those prices. I have plenty of doctor office trips to gather diamonds, plots, and badges😊

[@AffectionateFencers-xx2zjmo]

What's your opinion why they made it the same cost to upgrade from a common vs epic,?an a idea I have is if there not going to let us have auctions why not let us have a give them back a common feature for free or even a fee to get rid of them for the players that went over a tier or would like to go back a tier I mean I might be alone on this but I'd pay 7000 ab to go back to 30 boost

[@SoulOfRaife]

At 150 parcels with all legendary with 24 hour boost at 1 badge yields $1.798 per day so $693.99 per year. $1.90 a day on average. Currently for me at 750 plots at 10% bonus. I make $0.766 per day at $493.43 per year. My SRB is like $12 more per SBR. All in all, if you are home locked. Then sitting at 150 plots and upgrading may be the best way around. But if you are not home locked, then maybe buy 1. But don't go out of your way for the legendary bonus.

[@jamesmiller9690]

I agree. At a first look, it seems to be catered to the players who plan to remain at a lower tier.

[@lukesaxtaxman867]

so based on averages, 5% or 1 in 20, or 100 abs out of every 2000 will yield a legendary....they want 2500 for a legendary upgrade... unless i am missing something hard pass

[@alanlouie2654]

Honestly not worth it you could probably use the same amount of AB and you probably can land 3 legendary land plots in those 25 or even more if you’re lucky

[@trending1908]

I made another account got lucky to get legendary , so I sold the legendary plot to the main account for 150 bucks. 😊 If you got a referral code I recommend doing it so you can recieve extra 10 bucks

[@trending1908]

If you have a spare phone keep making accounts, always make sure to have reference. If your lucky to get epic or legendary sell it to the main account. its a buy buy for your main account at 150 bucks 😊

[@kltil5082]

International gets screwed on everything in this game

[@JRogers57]

I am Canadian, could you please tell me where to stop buying parcels. I have heard 60 and 65. I am at 60 I don't want to go 1 too many

[@BeerMoneyEngine]

60 is 20x.. so if you plan to buy legendary parcels I'd stop there and stick to that. However, parcel power at 60 is very low. You might wanna go to 100 instead at 15x where you'd be able to earn more overall.

[@JRogers57]

@@BeerMoneyEngine Thanks. I will be buying badges now until winter time then I will save to buy 16 parcels at once, to get to the break even point.

[@wrastlinape]

What did you guys mean by the upgrade unlocking “color coding”? I wasn’t following that

[@BeerMoneyEngine]

When using the upgrade, you can unlock every parcel you have and it will color code its rarity (green is common, blue is rare, pink is epic, yellow is legendary). You don't HAVE to use the upgrade, you can always save it for later, so it becomes a defacto parcel rarity checker for 2500 AB.
