Players are incentivized to invite more players who now are more incentivized to spend more tokens who want to draw in more players.\ \- Token utility should be tangible. Best when players can viscerally feel the difference of having spent tokens vs. not. ## Character Attributes \- Starting with the launch of "Age of Heroes", EthXY characters will be able to level up 4 attributes: 💪 Strength (STR), 🎯 Agility (AGI), 🧠 Intelligence (INT), ❤️ Stamina (STA).\ \- Each attribute has an Attribute Point (AP) range from 0-300. Characters start at 0 AP for each of the four attributes.\ \- In order to increase Attribute Points (AP), players need to collect Training Points (TP).\ \- Obtaining 1 Training Point (TP) requires 1 Hour + 1 SEXY.\ \- Each AP cost linearly increases in TP cost. Strength 1 AP = 1 TP, Strength 2 AP = 2 TP, Strength 3 AP = 3 TP, ... Strength 100 AP = 100 TP.\ \- The total TP required to get to a particular AP can be calculated by (n^2 + n) / 2, where n = desired AP level.\ \- Players can choose to activate training in one or all of the attributes simultaneously. Choosing to train in all four attributes will require 4 SEXY per hour.\ \- Training 0-300 in one attribute will require 45150 TP or about 5.15 years. This will require 45.15k SEXY to max out one attribute.\ \- A total of 180.6k SEXY over 5.15 years will be required to have a completely maxed out EthXY character. \ \- Players interested in having the strongest character in game will want to turn on training upon launch. Step-by-step instructions for how to do so will be coming in the future. Follow @ethxy to be informed.
## Attribute Utility \- Given the high costs of training your EthXY character, what is the utility you get in return?\ \- We designed the mechanics such that you can feel powerful when you have a character with high attributes.\ \- Your attributes determine your starting hand in a game of Texas Hold'em.\ \- You will battle boss monsters and other players with their respective hands of Texas Hold'em across a familiar board with a flop, turn and river.\ \- You can start with more than 2 cards on the basis of your attributes. Your attributes change the texture of your starting hand. ## 💪 Strength (STR) Corresponds to the rank of your cards. Having higher STR removes lower cards from being selected. This impacts your first two cards. \- No more 2's: STR 25\ \- No more 3's: STR 50\ \- No more 4's: STR 75\ \- No more 5's: STR 100\ \- No more 6's: STR 125\ \- No more 7's: STR 150\ \- No more 8's: STR 175\ \- No more 9's: STR 200\ \- No more 10's: STR 225\ \- No more J's: STR 250\ \- No more Q's: STR 275\ \- No more K's: STR 300\ \ Achieving a Strength of 200 would mean your first two cards will consist solely of Broadway cards. ## ❤️ Stamina (STA) Corresponds to the number of hole cards. Having higher STA means you get more starting cards. \- 2 Cards: STA 0\ \- 3 Cards: STA 100\ \- 4 Cards: STA 200\ \- 5 Cards: STA 300 Achieving a Stamina of 200 would mean you would get 4 cards. Hypothetically if you were battling a noob with Stamina of 0, they would only get 2 cards. You can imagine what an advantage this gives you. *For experienced poker folks, the Omaha restriction of having to use 2 hole cards does not apply. If you had 4 hole cards, you can use 0-4 hole cards + community cards to make the best 5 card hand.* ## 🎯 Agility (AGI) Corresponds to the gap of your first two cards. Having higher AGI means your first two cards will be more connected. \- Elimination of 10 gapper: AGI 30\ \- Elimination of 9: AGI 60\ \- Elimination of 8: AGI 90\ \- Elimination of 7: AGI 120\ \- Elimination of 6: AGI 150\ \- Elimination of 5: AGI 180\ \- Elimination of 4: AGI 210\ \- Elimination of 3: AGI 240\ \- Elimination of 2: AGI 270\ \- Elimination of 1 (Guaranteed pocket pair): AGI 300 Achieving an Agility of 270 would mean your first two cards are guaranteed to be neighbors (i.e. J and Q, K and A) or pocket pairs (T♠️T♣️). ## 🧠 Intelligence (INT) Corresponds to the suitedness of your first two cards. Having higher INT means its more likely your first two cards will have the same suit (♠️❤️♣️♦️) \- 5% more likely: INT 15\ \- 10% more likely: INT 30\ \- 15% more likely: INT 45\ \- 20% more likely: INT 60\ \- 25% more likely: INT 75\ \- 30% more likely: INT 90\ \- 35% more likely: INT 105\ \- 40% more likely: INT 120\ \- 45% more likely: INT 135\ \- 50% more likely: INT 150\ \- 55% more likely: INT 165\ \- 60% more likely: INT 180\ \- 65% more likely: INT 195\ \- 70% more likely: INT 210\ \- 75% more likely: INT 225\ \- 80% more likely: INT 240\ \- 85% more likely: INT 255\ \- 90% more likely: INT 270\ \- 95% more likely: INT 285\ \- 100% more likely (Guaranteed suited): INT 300 Achieving an Intelligence of 150 would mean that you would first roll for a 50% chance to guarantee suitedness. If you didn't pass, there's still a random chance to get the same suit. *In the event there is a conflict between the attributes (i.e. it's impossible to have suited pocket aces), the more favorable effect will prevail.*
