We're super excited for what's going down in Zeelis right now! Ever heard of a Death Match? We're testing to see exactly how many of you scum bags can get on the map at one time...We'll share more details about that in another post...
Meanwhile, some miscreant is concocting a plan to put your Psyber-X NFTs to task.
Who knew that a few NFTs could cause people to get up to no good? Grab your commons and uncommons, boys...the Rares and Legendaries are about to get overwhelmed in this battle scene of NFT vs NFT. Each NFT within the Psyber-X line up has been assigned stats with varying strengths, defenses, speed, etc. There are some NFTs in Psyber-X that have been given special powers over others and of course counters have been built in to smack the powerful ones back and keep them in line. There is balance, but it will only take playing to find out where the "easter eggs" are and what strategies work best.
If you're not familiar with "Easter Eggs" in terms of movies and games, it means there are hidden gems throughout the game. In this case, some cards that you'd expect to be weak turn out to be strong. While the rarities have been set by our crews here at Psyber-X, Psyber-Decks has added some spice by flipping the rules. They're programming it, so it's their rules and their stats. Wanna find an "Easter Egg" NFT amongst the commons or uncommons? Guess you'll have to grab a crate or two.
Each Psybercrate holds 5 NFTs. You can buy them at http://www.psyberxmarket.com where you can connect your Hive wallet and pick up the latest and greatest NFTs. Psybercrates are currently purchasable with Hive or HBD for a limited time. In the coming months, we intend to allow purchasing of crates with LVL only.
If you buy 2 crates in the market, you'll qualify to test Psyber-Decks in its Alpha testing phase. That means once it's ready for players to test it, you'll be able to jump in. That gives you 10 NFTs to play. When the full version comes out, you'll need at least 5 NFTs. Wait! That's exactly how many are in one crate! Coincidence? Maybe...
For those who gain Alpha status and play Psyber-Decks during the Alpha stage, you will be given a special something that will be announced later...we have a nice surprise planned for you!
The current Psybercrates have a limit. There are only 100K crates. That may sound like a lot; however, nearly 10,000 crates have already been distributed/purchased. That leaves approx. 90,000 crates to go. This is the first wave of NFTs developed by Psyber-X. Just like games similar to Magic the Gathering(c), Psyber-Decks will allow variety for your NFT holdings. When MTG first came out, the first cards (called Alphas) became very valuable later on. Who knows if the same will happen with Psyber-X NFTs? We don't...but you may be in for a treat when you can use your NFTs in multiple ways...
Psyber-Decks is going to be the first mini-game provided by these side developers (Psyber-Decks is not developed by the Psyber-X crew, but we're providing the information they need to be able to incorporate our NFTs). They've already let us know that there are several other games they're building at the same time based on gaming formats we all love, like tower defense, top-down shooters, and of course Psyber-Decks which is a turn-based strategy game. Therefore...if you own NFTs from Psyber-X, you'll be able to play Psyber-X related games. With that also comes the ability to rent your NFTs to others who will play.
Similar to other games on the Hive blockchain, once Psyber-Decks is up and running, you will be able to rent out the NFTs you own to others. I also know several people who have told me they're buying crates to partner with others who will play on their behalf. If you're not familiar with this, the way it works is one person owns a set of NFTs. We'll pretend it's 25. They find someone who is really good at strategy games. The two join into a partnership where one plays using the other's NFTs and they split the reward based on a percentage they both agree upon. This way, someone who does not have the funds to buy an NFT can connect with someone who does and voila! a partnership is made and both are satisfied. Did someone mention risk?
First, let's discuss risk...In risk-based games, you ante up something with the chance of earning something in return based on your skills or based on chance. Psyber-Decks is a game based on how strong your NFTs are vs your opponent's and how skillful you are at challenging their attacks and defenses. Will bots be able to play? Yes they will. But just like anything, they'll have to be programmed first, and if you have better NFTs than the bots, then the bots lose and you take the winner's plunder. So your ability to win is not set in stone just because a bot is playing. You still have to use a strategy to beat your opponent.
Every mini-game, like Psyber-Decks, will have an ante to play; however, they will each also have a Practice mode where you can play just "for funsies." At first the game may set differing ante amounts or they may allow players to set the terms, but this is still being developed. There will be a take by the developers for providing the game and it will range between 1-5%. This information will be provided at a later date. The hope is that sponsored games will also be provided so that those who own NFTs but don't have LVL can join a sponsored game to earn some LVL, then reuse that LVL in the anted games. A minimum of NFTs are needed to play; therefore, Psyber-Decks will not be a free play-to-earn game, but entry into the game will be as low as buying 1 crate of 5 NFTs. If you have questions or concerns, feel free to ask the team.
Psyber-Decks is a turn-based strategy mini-game being developed to use Psyber-X NFTs. If you'd like to be able to play the game before anyone else, you simply need to buy 2 Psybercrates at http://www.Psyberxmarket.com for the Alpha testing access.
