# Gaming Update #4

## From Common to Unique: Reshaping MetaFight's Rarity Dynamics

*Whether you played during the Alpha version or joined the project more recently, come and discover the new types of cards that will be usable in the game. It drastically changes from the previous version as we wanted to go deeper into the simulation, the strategic aspect, and the realism. This is also a perfect opportunity for new players to understand and join the game.*

We've slightly reworked the rarity system so as to dose the progression curve and open up the realm of possibility. We've got a feeling of advancement for all players as well as a coherent system paving the way for future developments.

### <mark style="color:red;">Why are there rarities ?</mark>

#### <mark style="color:orange;">**Supports Balanced Progression**</mark>

* A well-designed rarity system helps in balancing progression by providing items and characters that scale in power or utility. Players can start with common items and work their way up to rarer, more powerful ones, which provides a structured and rewarding progression path.
* It helps in managing the game's difficulty curve, ensuring that players gradually gain access to more powerful tools as they become more skilled.

#### <mark style="color:orange;">**Encourages Collection and Personalization**</mark>

* Collectible elements with different rarities cater to a variety of playstyles and preferences, allowing players to personalize their experience. This customization can make players feel more connected to the game.
* The rarity system supports a collector's mindset, rewarding those who seek to complete sets or acquire the most unique items.

#### <mark style="color:orange;">**Enhances Player Engagement and Motivation**</mark>

* Rarity systems create a sense of excitement and achievement. Players are often motivated to collect rare items or characters, which can drive ongoing engagement with the game.
* The pursuit of rarer items can keep players returning, providing a long-term goal that enhances replayability.

* Non-tradeable

#### <mark style="color:orange;">Range of Stats</mark>

  * All stats on cards: The range of available stats is reduced as the rarity rise, resulting in a higher overall powerness\
