You are viewing a single comment's thread:

If there are only going to be 100 winners, those winners are likely going to be the largest whales as they will have the potential for having better cards/nfts/spells/whatever.

If I am understanding this correctly that is.

I realize that this game has more chance/luck incorporated as you don't know if someone will "attack for 100 or 50 or 10" or defend for blah blah

Just for perspective, there are huge games on Polygon like Cryptoraiders that allow staking/P2E that have blown up with almost 0 game play. If this is only going to be on Hive it's super limiting, there's no reason to really develop something ONLY on Hive when it could be on Polygon at this point. That's fine he wants to do that and what not, maybe it could grow big. But many games are Free TX on Polygon because there are already readymade sidechains that connect to Polygon, and the only time someone does a TX is to buy/sell items and thats only like 2 cents or less per tx.

DefiKingdom has over 1 billion usd in Total Locked In Value right now. I'm not sure we can expect much to come of the Ragnarok game as there is little incentive for most people to throw 100 HBD into it and earn nothing because the top 100 get it all at the end of the year. How many thousands of people are going to pitch 100 HBD into a money pit and lose it just to have fun? Maybe there is some way of earning stuff and selling it on the market that makes it P2E but then you need a public to buy those items too of course.

To me, the incentives don't make much sense for P2E unless I am missing something, only 100 people can win the prize pool at the end of a year? So that makes this game have a huge limiting factor of not allowing most people to win, I'm not sure if they can maybe earn doing daily activities/play, but again, I could be wrong, I didn't read through the entire thing.

Why are you already talking about interoperability when the game hasn't even launched and we have a one year testnet to get through? Cart before the horse, friend.

Also, why are you complaining about 100 HBD when that is just a random number I pulled out my ass?
Honestly the entry fee isn't nearly as important as the cost to heal after each battle.

Something you are completely ignoring:

How much are XP tokens worth?
The top 100 players are forced to subsidize all the XP and buy it off the market.
It very well might be more profitable to farm XP and sell it on the market than to actually win the tournament.

Maybe there is some way of earning stuff and selling it on the market that makes it P2E but then you need a public to buy those items too of course.

How are the top 100 going to get into the top 100 without buying a shit-ton of XP?

I realize that this game has more chance/luck incorporated as you don't know if someone will "attack for 100 or 50 or 10" or defend for blah blah

blah blah indeed!

Have you played poker before? (no offense just curious) If someone goes all in over and over again you can just fold until you're pretty sure you have the best hand. Yes, there are a lot of luck mechanics here, but honestly it will be very very hard to beat someone who's ranked higher.

This game requires a player to win quite a few battles before they win a game.
This is going to require chess positioning on top of CCG deckbuilding and spellcasting on top of poker playing skills.
It's a lot is skill and luck all at once, played over and over.
If you play 100,000 hands of poker, the outcome is 99.999% skill.
If you play 1 hand of poker, the outcome is 99.999% luck.
The more we play the game, the less luck will be involved.

To end this rant.

There's nothing to complain about.
Game will come out and you'll see you can make money playing it.
All the money is going to be in XP tokens.
You're either buying them and spending more on the game or you're selling them into the open market.
Again, my guess is that some of the top played players will just be XP farmers.
More on this later.
