Major Governance Discussions

Missions and Milestones Ideas

New system for airdrop distribution 

  • Suggest distributing airdrop rewards based on rankings instead of just points. 
  • This change addresses key issues: 
  • Increasing incentives for investment and high-value actions.
  • Reducing the negative impact of multi-accounting, which distorts fairness by allowing multiple accounts to exploit free missions and earn rewards similarly to top-ranked players.
  • Discussion: https://discord.com/channels/760344898200666112/1269720507687764062 

Make Open Beta Competitive P2

  • Emphasize the need to launch the Arena alongside other game components to avoid a significant drop in demand and market interest. 
  • Highlight that the lack of a competitive element impacts perception and engagement. 
  • Urge for immediate plans to either launch the Arena or prepare to promote upcoming features and tournaments.

Silv2 disadvantage

  • Suggest adjusting the system so that SILV2 fuel purchases can also benefit from these bonuses.
  • Ensure consistent value for both ETH and SILV2 users when purchasing fuel.
