Big news was announced in today's Town Hall and I think over an hour discussion was on one specific topic. The major focus was on the future update of staking SPS.
As of now staking SPS mainly earned players more SPS and vouchers. Another function is to allow players to qualify in tournaments based on staked amount of SPS. Matt when in depth discussion with Aggroed and Aggroed bring on the questions.
What I can summarize is that Matt is emphasized the update was planned but it took over two years to achieve. Matt explained that in the near future staked SPS would supersede the Collection Power. This means players will require to staking SPS to earn more in lieu of owning enough cards to have a specific collection power. In summary Matt emphasized entire goal of staking SPS was for this purpose.
For instance I am focusing on holding over 200k CP in order to keep playing Gold I. My monster cards are not enough to get me over diamond league on a steady basis. However with the new update coming out it will mean I need to stake more SPS.
Matt was saying staked SPS will go in a range for earning more rewards per league. That means players can play up to which league they feel comfortable even if they do not have enough CP or enough SPS staked. On the flip side the more SPS staked the more daily rewards they can earn.
Bottom line this appears to be a positive step forward for the game. The fact that we don't rely on collection power and more on SPS staked will make players to buy and hold more SPS. Meanwhile cards will remain important in order to earn more rewards from rank battles. Like Matt said the game is not designed to be a free to play game. There needs to be an investment into the game in order to earn a profit. It takes money to make money. Or better yet have skin in the game.
Until next time thanks for reading!!!
