Today's post is not about Rising Star progress or strategies. Searching through the game Discord channels, I found the community proposal section. In this section, players make proposals to improve the game (at least in their minds). I was curious about how many of those proposals were nuts or actually good ideas for the game, and how many of them were rejected or implemented through the year.
Proposal #1
Add more information about the cards in the game, mainly XP boosts, pizza, coffee, etc.
Opinion: There's a FAQ in the game explaining all mechanics and cards. It might be a bit more about the XP boost because it's different from fan boost (myself made a mistake buying fan boost).
Proposal #2
Option to save or not save drunken fans in the bottle of whiskey.
Give fans Bottle of Whiskey ON/OFF option
Opinion: This might be a very interesting option since we could choose to save fans doing larger missions and not 5 min missions
Proposal #3
In-game shop to buy modifiers and buffs with STARPRO.
Opinion: I do believe that more use cases could be added by STARPRO, but Festival missions works very well to create a demand for that specific token.
Proposal #4
Add achievements based on collection size or certain cards collections. I'd like to also suggest achievements based on collection size.
Opinion: Any modification inside the game could create serious inflation, and benefiting big card holders that are already rewarded in the Daily ranking it's enough. I would like to have something like: achievements based on marketplace activity instead.
Proposal #5
Enable login with Wax wallet and Metamask wallet
Opinion: I think it's a great idea to help new players, but I suspect it will take a lot of work and testing.
Proposal #5
Missions that are being promoted receive a minor buff to represent the effect of promotion
Opinion: Need to give it a thought, because I don't see the point on giving an extra reward to a mission that it's already rewarding players
Proposal #6
Count next to each mission to show how many times you've done the mission
Opinion: It's already implemented
Proposal #7
Add daily / weekly / monthly missions that cost STARPRO to complete
Opinion: I think this will come in the future, now we have the Festival and it's an amazing experience
Proposal #8
Made the achievements scrollable vertically.
Opinion: Definitely yes. Please, consider this for future updates. I think it could be easy to implement.
Proposal #9
Split pizza slices to 5 Pizza bites, so you can recover smaller amounts of energy
Opinion: I like this suggestion. Many times I've been playing and I need like 5 or 10 energy to make a specific mission and I have to use the entire pizza slice. Or complete smaller missions until my energy goes to 0. But I also understand this is a detail that might not be transcendental for the game
Proposal #11
Create a legendary microphone, since there is no such card, and it sure is a great idea, as well as very necessary.
Opinion: We already got the L19 Sneaky Mic
Proposal #11
The cards could be combined to create one of the same type but with better statistics, in the same way as in Splinterlands.
Opinion: I think we're carefully heading toward blending. We have blending options for Festival wristbands and Seasonal cards. Perhaps we could have in the future some other cards available only through blending of existent common or super abundant cards.
Proposal #12
Create a summary of the player profile. For example, how many packs opened, how many starbits withdraw etc.
Opinion: Pizza bot in the discord!!!!
Proposal #13
How about a tutorial or detailed overview?
Opinion: We have many, many tutorials about the game in hive blogging platforms. Perhaps a few of them could be permanently pinned to the Rising Star Web and people access it easily.
Proposal #14
Adding a trade card system inside the game. This gives users more security than trading outside the official game + adding small % of STARBITS per trade which can be burned.
Opinion: An official escrow system through the Discord could be the most efficient and faster way to implement. I don't know any marketplace with a decentralized system to trade NFTs. Building something like this could take a lot.
Proposal #15
Add information such as market sales fee, total amount of STARPRO on the music promoter pool, etc, etc, somewhere visible in-game, FAQ for example.
Opinion: It would be interesting to have, yes.
Proposal #16
Music and drawing competitions
Opinion: This could be a great incentive because the songs or drawings could be included as NFTs inside packs and/or have utility in-game.
Proposal #17
Make blended version of season card valid for doing special missions.
Opinion: I like the idea of adding utility for blended cards. Like a super amazing mission you can only do with a blended card.
Proposal #18
Rentals for the cards like in Splinterlands
Opinion: Probably the most wanted feature. For example, I'd love to rent my XP boost to players that can't afford it and need to advance faster in the game. However, Jux has explained a lot how hard it is to develop a rental system and even harder when he's the only developer behind Rising Star game
What do you think about these suggestions? Did you notice how many of them are already implemented in the game?
Been thinking that a bidding system for each card could be beneficial as well, for both the buyer who is looking for unique/rare cards to evaluate the "demand" value of a card and also the seller to liquidate their cards easier...
