So I've been playing the beta game and its really cool. It's quite fun and I can see how it would be even better on a mobile device.
GREAT JOB!!!I looked into getting some bitcrystals and they are around 20 thousand Satoshis at todays price if I am correct.
https://poloniex.com/exchange#btc_bcyHere's the problem:
1x Full deck with all 49 cards. Price 85 000 BCY.
When someone start selling decks of virtual cards in a game that is still in the beta phase for
$6400 USD equivalent... This is just
insanity.
I don't care if the cards are "out of stock", they allow me to shoot little balls of light in a video game, not worth the price of all included family vacation!!!
With that being said, best of luck with the development of the game and I guess I hope when it's finally released I'll generate and fuze cards some moron will pay thousands of dollars for.
Thing is you dont need 49 cards. you can have only 4 cards in hand at one time. yes you probably will need few sets, but for sure no one will need 49 cards to be able to play well.
Now that bcy worth 19.000sat (7,8 cent. $) i think that we have some problem with many old card price.
For example
https://swapbot.tokenly.com/bot/spellsofgenesis/bearwhalecd#chooseBearwhale Card: 1200bcy is 93.6$
This price is Insane expecialy for a 3000 pcs. issued card.
At this price tag I think that it is almost impossible to sell any other card.
I have to proposal to fix this:
1) cut the price
or
2) Burn some Bearwhale Card not alreadybsold so the curent price will be more in line with the card rarity.
The second solution probably is the best. A win win.
Win for who own the card
Win for EDS, probably a deflated card is more attractive for customers.
For example, actually :
https://counterpartychain.io/asset/BEARWHALECD2830 Bearwhale cd are still in EDS stock,
2830x1200Bcy is 3.396.000bcy, that is:
264.888$ @19.000satxbcy and @416$xbtc
Are we kidding?
At 1200bcy price tag, probably the MAX reasonable number of card in circulation is 500pcs , so 2500 berawhalecd sholud be burned
This is a big problem that was statued few months ago in this thread.
And BearWhale card is a perfect sample of it. As i remember BearWhale card come to swapbots right at time when crowdsale ended and everyone was full of BitCrystals. And price raised sky high by numbers of cards sold. So many including me bought few of them at expensive price. Later that was changed. I guess i can call buing few of those as a bad investment. BearWhale emission should be reduced to 1200 cards as the others are.
Other problem of cards i see, that strength of card is not perfectly correlated with its rareness and price.
Lets take a look at Aji-Jaspaar , there are 1000 cards, stats are not that bad 18\3\3 price is already at 1000 Bitcrsytals ($70), but card is only a common one.
I did not played Monga so have no experience, but please be carefull if people will pay $70+ for a common card.
How will be dealt with high price of cards I really dont know.
1) cut the price
in not an option without scamming those that bought them at higher price in past. Altho it was clearly stated that price will be only higher.
