 In general I think that supply unlimited blockchained cards is an huge error, and maybe it will be better to set up  an upper  limit (10.000 cards? 50.000 cards?) as a general rule. One solution could be on introducing a sort of "edition" for cards sold out but still necessary for the game play.

This concept should be used for cheap common cards and ultra rare cards.


Why did not give after smart contract release blockchain choose with some kind of script how many cards have and what is price or starting price. Don't ask from me how that script will be made but if I have understand right it will be possible with smart contracts calculate how many cards and burn others. First developers make example 50000 card and send it for smart contract swap bot what will burn before selling start example 40000 cards or even 49000 card

If blockchain choose that will be something what never have seen before and it will make similiar but new kind of random element for game what you have when you go buy un opened packet of cards from shop and hope to get one rarely card.  This will make also comments "devs" only collect money with cards wrong because they can't control it.

What you think about idea?


Edit. When I think the idea why even doing like this. Why not do real packets. Where blockchain have choose card amount/rarely and where you can buy packets example 1000 BCY 5 cards or 2000 BCY 11 cards and there behind smart contracts are all cards and you will get randomly 5 card. If you have good luck you receive some really rarely card Smiley  Then deck building will be more difficult and resellers have still markets in their swapbots. Early adopters also get better position with their first decks what have buy already before released this kind of system.

 It seems that overall low priced cards (30 to 100bcy each) are selling very well even in terms of total revenue, problem is to balance correctly price-rarity-gamepower, not an easy task at all.

 In general I think that supply unlimited blockchained cards is an huge error, and maybe it will be better to set up  an upper  limit (10.000 cards? 50.000 cards?) as a general rule. One solution could be on introducing a sort of "edition" for cards sold out but still necessary for the game play.

This concept should be used for cheap common cards and ultra rare cards.

For example, FDCARD is sold out, what about of a second edition for FDCARD? FDCARD2
Same power, different color.

There is also a second issue we can observe whit Premium Merchant, some cards are simply too costly camparing to their rarity/power. This issue is strictly related on bitcrystals price volatility.

In this case I suggest a massive burn so these old overpriced cards will be attractive again at their original price tag. (example BEARWHALECD, 1200bcy each, too much for a 3000 issued not so powerful card, currently EDS owns 2830 cards, probably 2500 to be burned to make those cards attractive again)

Just some proposal.

lol seems someone bought 447 SHOPKEEPERCD  it seems he really want to KEEP the SHOP

What was important for me in video was the date. So far only date i knew was April and we are in middle of May, so was a bit late to tell the new date when game will start.  If it will not be to hard, would be nice if someone goes thru all webpages, blogs, ... and edit spring or April 2016 with September 2016.  Or better, made new roadmap and place it on visible spots everywhere.

The April date was for Milestone #4

Quote
#4 - April 2016 (release 25% of funds raised)

Final development of the game with over 100 game levels and 150+ cards. With the ability for players to play in groups (guilds), to create their own levels, characters as digital asset, and also trade them.

So that is gone to the end of this month according to the video. 1 month delay ain't bad considering other projects in the space.

However, I agree a roadmap for things to come after Milestone #4 would be good to have.

Great!! Just watch your video. First of all, HI Sog Team!

It was a pleasure to see Yodark and the entire EDS crew.

Said that, please should you communicate the new roadmap in a written form?

just an official EDS/SOG statement to the market in a proper form, so maybe some newsmagazine could use it for articles and web post.

Viva!

Well it seems that the Premium Merchant business model has to be changed. This offer probably will end for the third consecutive time whit zero revenue.


So far in way more then half year i noticed 2 good deals for Premium players.  One was in November and passed in few days so missed it other was offering Ripple and Shapeshift card. The rest was same as if would not be Premium player. I started now buying cards from partner players what is quite funny, since if i would not buy my bitcrystals last day of crowdsale would be one with same amount of BTC.

This was said before, and i think merchant was changed a bit, i just hope it will have some results fro premium players in the future. This cards that now come to premium merchants were issued before new model started.

Hi community !

Thanks for the feedback. I completely understand we should have better communicated the status. Actually we get a bit overwhelmed with the success of the closed beta. The engagement : numbers of game played and involvement really high over our expectations and it keeps us very busy on the slack to address all the concerns feedbacks etc. I lost a bit track of making wide PR.

Today I'm having a call with the publisher to review the roadmap. I'll make a video update by the end of the week !

I agree with a lot of the above.

It seems a lot of peoples concern re: PR, updates etc are being skipped over and ignored.

I am holding a modest amount of BCY and this is the first time I have started to lose faith in my investment.

I'm not fussed about delays, bugs etc but I would prefer to know what is going on regards development rather than look at new/old cards up for sale.

FWIW I think the game is a lot of fun. I am not a gamer but I do enjoy playing this when I have a few spare moments.

However,

Could someone please address the concerns of this community?

......

Juries still out. Seems things are playable and there is some interest, but having zero EDS updates is a terrible PR move.


I agree

EDS does not have a proper and normal market communication strategy. It would be required even anything special, for example it would take a written newsletter on a regular basis (monthly? weekly fortnightly??) in which every head of the development team tell what he did during the reference period and in which the project head (Yodark) update the roadmap .

Yodark had begun well by doing a couple of videos in the first two months, then nothing on a regular basis but the usual and proper "Burning Report."

There Exists "best practicies" that have developed in recent years within the cryptocurrencies ecosystem:

1) open sessions of AMA (Ask Me Anything) made on quarterly basis
2) regular newsletter (at least monthly)
3) web based Roadmaps (there are lots of scheduling webtool)  continually updated

Query the community of some sporadic management choice is absolutely not enough. Even worse is to start making communication and then stop (The first Yodark Video).

I must also insist that despite having been repeatedly pointed out in this thread, today Bitcrystals are not listed on a Chinese Market, and IMHO this is one of the big market related issue where EDS have to work.

Do not get me wrong, these are not sterile criticism, I have made the ICO and over time I increased my position on Bitcrystals.

 In my working life I was responsible for the investor relations of a company listed on the Italian stock market exchange and today I work as advisor  for two companies that deal with the blockchain.

I hope that EDS take this topics in serious consideration.

nobody will pay 80$ for Cards with unknown and mostly shitty stats on a regular Basis.

There isnt an updated roadmap, more infos and this beta is still more or less a Trainwreck because of the ferked up Upgrades.
Sure you can start to play the "its just a beta" song again but this is also the figurehead of the upcoming Game for most of the common and new Users.

So imo you really dropped the Ball on this one.

Business Model, Roadmap and the Quality of this Beta.
All seems pretty much rushed on a closer Look now.
they even linked the wrong apk at the start.

Why are all these supersmart People sleeping on the common sense basics that much?

is this a Crypto related type of thing ?
I just dont get it.

You pretty much summed it up which is why BCY is not doing well right now.

Yes i think this is typical crypto. But I also think you are expecting a lot, this is a low budget game and creating games is a crap shoot. They either come together with great game play or they don't. Just like making movies.

Juries still out. Seems things are playable and there is some interest, but having zero EDS updates is a terrible PR move.

Yeah they really need to step it up.  Been watching this here and there...not happy with where things are and the price.
