4️⃣Gaming 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.

Now available in MetaFight:

Why are there rarities ?

Supports Balanced Progression

  • 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.

Encourages Collection and Personalization

  • 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.

Enhances Player Engagement and Motivation

  • 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.


What's the difference between each rarity ?

We identify three main differences between the various rarity

Experience & Loot

  • Experience: The amount one fighter card provide after a fight to increase the Manager's level, which as its rise

  • Loot: The amount one fighter card provide

Transferrability

  • Tradeable: These can be traded

  • Non-tradeable

Range of Stats

  • The range of each stat is different according to the rarity:

    • All stats on cards: The range of available stats is reduced as the rarity rise, resulting in a higher overall powerness Example: If any of the Physical Stat is [1-10] in Common, in Bronze it ranges [2-10] and so on for following rarities. Nor the numbers no their factor are accurate and serve only the purpose for example.
