Hello pilots!
Contracts are approaching and it's time to share more details!
Let's begin by one of our arts you know made by @ShinoXL - as it is now a card.
And it became that one:
Shino is currently working on our Kumicho art - the top Yakuza boss.
His other arts are to be found in EXODE Boosters.
You will see all of them soon, this week in our news about our Boosters.
Such as this one who will be in a legendary card:
Now, let's see, what is more to know about Contracts?
Contracts are always ready for you!
When a contract drops its loot, you can come and take it.
If you forgot? the drops will still be there!
And they will add up!
The contract drops will pile up for some weeks.
A lot of words on this card to say:
This one has a sniper rifle, he only knows to Hide and Snipe, and that should be enough to make him a perfect asset for so many situations.
Contracts are ready, even if you don't know!
Let's not be distracted: contracts!
Contract Opening has not happened.
I need time to work on it.
I said in about 3 days?
"About" is that thing we use in computer science; when we look at our todo, and our mind shouts "hey be cautious out there! there's stuff in this".
You know how committed I am to it, you know there is definitely stuff in this, and definitely other upgrades I released to EXODE.
Our collection received all new filters and search features:
We deployed the 'open packs broadcast' this morning.
I released an article on our wiki about how to replay the blockchain on EXODE: this means that any developer can "replay" our assets if the need comes.
And now? let's not forget our playable alpha - I could not complete the next update yet today as a dozen situations came in, but I'll do it first thing tomorrow, because we are a game!
I know we are eager to see more of the good things, and I'll do my very best to make it.
But that is not even a problem.
Because contract drops dates are stacking already.
This means your contracts will have all their drops, whatever date it happens.
And they have it since the first day of May!
Contracts have a love date!
They do!
And now you will understand why we are speaking of dates and drops.
Sunday is to be known as 'Syndicate Sunday!'.
Syndicate contracts will generate their drops every Sunday.
Tuesday is to be known as 'Tom's Tuesday!'.
Tom Settlers contracts will generate their drops every Tuesday.
Friday is to be known as...
well, I haven't found this one!
Gun Friday? I find that super grim because of real life. Fragging Friday? I don't know.
But you know about it: it's the Rekatron weapon drops!
These are the cool guys: they have deadly guns, and they also have deadlier guns.
One of them, the Epic One, is called Judgment day!
Another you'll like is the Galactic Peacemaker.
So help me now. What is our Friday keyword for Rekatron?
Please use the comments and suggest your thing!
What does that mean?
Right now, there was the 5th of May which was a 'Tuesday'.
Tomorrow, there is another. Tuesday.
So, when Card Opening happens this week, all your Tom Settlers cards will shout:
"hey out there! I have 2 weeks of drops ready for you! come get them!"
This means nothing is ever lost, and your contracts are stacking.
Another thing to remember:
Contract Opening mean you will now be able to receive Elite cards:
They receive +3 QL (Quality Level), which is our big number out there, and their max QL is then 13, instead of the usual 10. This means they look like this when you receive them:
And the meaning of these new traits?
Bound items means that the card comes already equipped.
Traits underlined receive an even stronger bonus when the character is generated.
Remembe however that EXODE is not a duel game - these powerful cards are used as character generators, to receive impressive characters in your games, and play with them.
Characters also receive specific possible actions from their equipment, removed from the card here to simplify.
You want to know more?
I hear you!
I am working on a "wikify our cards" program that will release all our card stats and traits to our wiki.
I am working on all this - this is going to be an amazing week with so many cards to open!
See you soon in EXODE!
==============================================
Remember this is alpha and stats and traits might change.
Ayumi is considered for a +2 QL (that will make her QL 8) and other syndicate cards too for a +1 (being QL 7 then). However, they have some awesome equipment too on them; other cards in your contract; and Ayumi is an Officer, meaning a bonus to your crew.
In addition to that, the Syndicate has a leader - the Kumicho - that increases the QL of all Syndicate members. Just imagine what this will do...
==============================================
EXODE is a space colonization game on HIVE.
Playing it needs a 8 USD Starter and the game accepts HIVE coins, STEEM coins and Paypal.
It is currently in playable alpha. We are still only one week in its alpha and many features will be added in May. You can discover the game with its concept video or its alpha footage!
More information about EXODE can also be found on our website, our Discord, or multiple posts such as this one about our epic characters, or this trailer made by a fan, or this review or this one .
There are many other reviews I like, such as this one too from @blueeyes8960 . It was from April and we added so much since!
Need some directions? @jacobpeacock made a tutorial here.
