crypto gaming War Field - A Pay to Live Genre

[Mr Velocity1577]

 

Gaming redefined by blockchain, WAR FIELD is a multiplayer first-person shooter that uses Ethereum-based tokens you can buy, sell, and win for skilful play.

Quote

The Setting:
Profit or death await you on our first Battleground aboard the Mystery Freighter MS VANGUARD. The captain is missing, the crew presumed dead...and there's a price on your head. Do you have what it takes to turn the tables on your enemies and take it all from them? Additional Battlegrounds coming soon: Amusement Park, Area 51, Pleasure Island...play them all to win GLDR from your opponents!

Q: With a setting like that are you sold?

A: Na, me neither! Lets continue then...

 

This game uses a Ethereum-based GOLDER (GLDR) coin that is used as your WAR FIELD lucre.

Screw dollars and euros. WAR FIELD has a crypto-powered game economy, with more games coming to the platform in the future!

P.s. As you can tell I'm highlighting the important parts.

 

 

Disclaimer: Don't get me wrong, if you want to use your money for this then go ahead. But 'Dude from the Internet', seriously?

 

I'm not a Crypto Miner so to joey blogs this all sounds like a ripe-off and just a little extra info, 2,571 BILLION coins are available to start with at a 1 GLDR = USD 0.01 ratio so if you want to make some money, now is the time.

The following currencies will be accepted:
● US Dollars ● Euros ● British Pounds ● Bitcoin ● Ether ● Litecoin

This is a US and Europe only game as of right now. Release Date: 2018-06-21

 

War Field Development Roadmap:

Spoiler

 

I had chance to have a conversation with them and here is what they had to say:

Spoiler

Me:

Is this like a free to play but you pay for each match/life with coins?

 

War Field Rep:

Hi! It’s absolutely free to play:)

 

War Field Rep:

Currently, the game is available online as a desktop PC/MAC version only. No installation is needed and everything works in the Chrome browser. The minimum PC requirements are: Intel i3 processor or higher, 4 GB of RAM, 200 MB of free disk space, 512 MB video card, Chrome browser version X+.

During later stages of development, more platforms will be added, with iOS and Android coming first, then editions for gaming consoles.

 

Me:

How does the crypto currency work?

 

War Field Rep:

Could please specify?

 

Me:

Does it mine crypto whilst I’m paying?

 

War Field Rep:

No!

WAR FIELD is the first multiplayer first-person shooter game you play to win real cryptocurrency. Join now and get free tokens to start playing...and winning!

Every Kill = Real Crypto in Your Pocket

WAR FIELD has a blockchain-driven gaming economy that uses tradeable Ethereum-based cryptographic GLDR Tokens you can buy, sell, trade, and win for skilful play. You can use GLDR for in-game purchases and win them by defeating your opponents.

Prior to and during the WAR FIELD Token Sale Event, you can obtain GLDR Tokens at substantially discounted rates. After the Sale has ended, you can withdraw GLDR and save them in your ether wallet, transfer them to friends…even sell them on crypto exchanges.

We are here to answer your questions and help you get started. Join now to get the best deal!

During the Token Sale Event, GLDR are available only at www.warfield.com. Do not accept offers to buy GLDR from anyone, including individuals impersonating our admin staff. True WAR FIELD staff will not contact you by PM.

 

Me:

It says about winning Crypto and what are the tokens used for?

 

Me:

kills equal crypto, what are tokens for?

 

War Field Rep:

Every player is required to choose an amount of GLDR tokens to stake on his or her life.

This amount represents an initial “Life Cost”. When damaged in gameplay, a player loses (surrenders) a certain amount of the GLDR (s)he has staked. A player gains GLDR from another player by damage or "killing" that player. Every “hit” from a bullet or other weapon causes damage to a player's character and a certain amount of GLDR is transferred to the player who has caused the damage. If the balance of GLDR a player has staked as his or her or “Life Cost” reaches zero, the player’s character “dies”. In the event of “death”, gear that a player has purchased is not forfeited. It remains with the player and can be used for new “Lives”

 

Me:

So it’s not Free to Play then if you have to Pay to Live

 

War Field Rep:

You can start for free:)

 

Me:

Yes but it’s not Free to Play in the sense you can pay or play free like other games.

 

War Field Rep:

Then you will have the further explanation. Please join our waiting list, then you can receive alll info regarding upcoming crowdsale.

My Final Explanation:

So it’s not Free to Play then if you have to Pay to Live unless you are good enough to kill anyone.

 

Full disclosure: I found this game by chance on a Facebook Ad served to me on the iPhone App. I have no affiliation, nor am I profiting in anyway from this.

 

Ending out by saying:

What I would like to know is, how many Crypto Mines see this as a good thing or do you see it as a scam to those who aren't good at a game and those that are will profit from them. Maybe you have a different opinion on this.

 

Anyway, have a good day and I hope @LinusTech & @Slick, you might be able to talk about this tonight or next week on WAN Show.

People play Free-to-Play and get scammed all the time for more lives, this just has you buying lives first. Read into it further and you'll see what it is about.

I thought exactly the same way to start with and that's why I wrote this article.

I was going to say that. I don't care for crypto but I want to have some fun so I may revive my old game hacking base code and adapt it to this to see. Even if I cant find hooks I could still do something like a color and shape based aim bot.

Mine to Win, hmm interesting..... not.

Pay to win?

Hold my beer

It’s not pay to win, it’s pay to live/play. You have to stake GLDR each life and each kill pays you 1 GLDR back unless you die and you lose GLDR.

what if you run out of that? o_o

You have to buy more at current market prices if they are on sale because someone has to be selling them first I believe because there is a hard cap on how many are available to buy.

Future will be like Gamer the movie.

I thought based on the description you could stake variable amounts, and got variable amounts from other players as you damage them. That GLDR represents life and as you damage them you steal their GLDR. 

 

My impression of of this was all very "C: The Money of Soul and Possibility Control".

Yeah it's like bleeding money like you say. It's quite complicated so that's why I said you lose money when you die.

ICO: this word don't need more explonation

I know what an ICO is. Assuming question is: How do you know they cannot honor their ICO?

I don't, however most ICOs are scams, hence why Google and Facebook planned to stop advertising them, and are often "pumped and dumped" - drive up hype, sell when at peak value and then let the price fall.
