Good day everyone!
You may have noticed that Breadcrumbs no longer show on the Rankings tab of the Arena. As of today Breadcrumbs are no longer in the game and there should be no mention of them on the website or in game.
This was a large code push so if you notice anything wrong let us know in discord under the #bug-report channel.
GOLD
Gold will now become the main currency used in game. As a team, we are still working on the balancing of gold. Due to this you may see the amount of gold you receive during Quests / Arena battles change.
Also you may see the cost for repairs / items / potions etc.... change.
WHY battle in the ARENA?
Without the breadcrumb payout why even battle you may ask?
First off the old breadcrumb payout and weekly prize pool of breadcrumb payouts was not sustainable. This caused the original development the difficult decision of closing down the project. Before this could happen we took over and our 1st design goal was How do we make Holybread sustainable.
In doing this we had to eliminate the weekly payout(buyback) and eventually breadcrumbs.
We will now have different types of Arena Awards:
Blockchain Awards & In-Game Awards
Blockchain Awards
I truly believe in the model of being paid-to-play games. However I don't believe in passive income games on the blockchain. Many of these have come and gone (FAILED!) once so called investors moved on.
Instead we will continue to power up our accounts and use them to reward our player base.
If the Top Arena players comment & upvote our Arena Rankings posts (twice weekly) they will receive upvotes based on their ranking.
An example: would be the top 10 players get a 100% upvote and the next 10 get 50% upvotes.
Now before everyone jumps into the comments about this. I have not worked out the upvotes yet and I will build a bot to do it.
(If you have thoughts on how the votes should be weighted, I would love to hear them)
In this way the top players earn a Tangible reward that they can use outside of the game and with their upvote & comment show their commitment to being an active part of the game.
This reward is completely optional you can play and be in the top and never comment and vote.
This brings us to
IN-GAME Awards
Note: These may change as we work through balance. They are to give you an idea of the direction we are going.
Ranks 1-3
Receive a crown that can be worn and gives stats.
Also all rewards for 1-10 & 1-50
Ranks 1-10
This has to do with an energy rework coming that we have not announced yet, but these players will get a SMALL boost to their energy
Also all rewards for 1-50
Ranks 1-50
Will get an increase to their chance of finding a Set Piece during Quests/Dungeons.
Yes we are introducing item sets. When you have all the pieces of the set you will gain an additional ability.
Now some players may say that isn't fair that just makes the top players stronger. We are looking very closely at the balance of these rewards and will adjust if needed. We want players to have the ability to climb into the top ranks, no matter when they started playing.
These rewards are also only available if you are in the current rank.
Now I hope this gives you all an idea of the direction we are heading. I know it may raise as many questions as answers. So feel free to ask question in the comments below.
As always please "SMASH" the upvote to support our development.
