This includes cards for upcoming expansions and new game modes. <\/p>\n<p>To try and avoid the perils of insider trading, the testers from Superpower are subject to a set of disclosure rules. They are obliged to report trades they if they meet any of the following criteria.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Buying or selling any NFT on Immutable X for more than $1,000 USD;<\/li>\n<li>Trading volume (buy plus sell) or trading rewards earned in a specific ERC20 token developed by Immutable or one of its partners exceeds a multiple of $10,000 USD (i.e. $10k, $20k, $30k); or<\/li>\n<li>Trading volume (buy plus sell) of a collection on Immutable X exceeds a multiple of $10,000 USD<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Some folks think that the rules aren\u2019t strenuous enough. And in fact, Superpower has already stated that they will disclose all of their trades, which seems only fair. Especially considering that many of these players already have a significant investment in Gods Unchained cards. But players have also raised concerns about impartiality, and the potential for advantages in competitive play, especially when new sets and patches are released.<\/p>\n<p>The Gods Unchained team has mostly brushed aside these player concerns, pointing out that this partnership begins with a two-month trial period. Which is a fair point. But a portion of the playerbase feels disheartened at the whole process, and that their voices aren\u2019t being heard.<\/p>\n<p>You can learn more about Superpower at <a href=\"https:\/\/superpower.gg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/superpower.gg<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.playtoearn.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/C8-026_Spoils-of-War.jpg\" data-slb-active=\"1\" data-slb-asset=\"1042976692\" data-slb-internal=\"0\" data-slb-group=\"41626\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><picture><source sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" type=\"image\/webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.playtoearn.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/C8-026_Spoils-of-War-1024x1024.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.playtoearn.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/C8-026_Spoils-of-War-300x300.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.playtoearn.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/C8-026_Spoils-of-War-150x150.jpg.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.playtoearn.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/C8-026_Spoils-of-War-768x768.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.playtoearn.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/C8-026_Spoils-of-War-1536x1536.jpg.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.playtoearn.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/C8-026_Spoils-of-War.jpg.webp 2048w\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41646 lazyload\" width=\"512\" height=\"512\" data-eio=\"p\" src=\"http:\/\/www.playtoearn.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/C8-026_Spoils-of-War-1024x1024.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.playtoearn.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/C8-026_Spoils-of-War-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.playtoearn.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/C8-026_Spoils-of-War-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.playtoearn.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/C8-026_Spoils-of-War-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.playtoearn.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/C8-026_Spoils-of-War-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.playtoearn.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/C8-026_Spoils-of-War-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.playtoearn.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/C8-026_Spoils-of-War.jpg 2048w\" data-sizes=\"auto\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.playtoearn.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/C8-026_Spoils-of-War-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41646\" width=\"512\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.playtoearn.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/C8-026_Spoils-of-War-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.playtoearn.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/C8-026_Spoils-of-War-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.playtoearn.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/C8-026_Spoils-of-War-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.playtoearn.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/C8-026_Spoils-of-War-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.playtoearn.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/C8-026_Spoils-of-War-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.playtoearn.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/C8-026_Spoils-of-War.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" data-eio=\"l\"\/><\/noscript><\/source><\/picture><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Testing and Gods Unchained<\/h2>\n<p>Gods Unchained has a reputation for delayed balance changes. Often leaving players with an unbalanced meta for months at a time. They have made some progress in changing this dynamic recently. And now they go a step further by hiring an outside consulting group for balance testing.<\/p>\n<p>However, when you\u2019re dealing with complex games with lots of different actions, no amount of internal testing can match the loopholes and edge cases that will be discovered once the game is exposed to a larger, public audience. And for reasons that I am uncertain of, Gods Unchained has always been very reluctant to put up a PTR, or Public Test Realm. They have done so on a few occasions in the past, but it was always very brief.<\/p>\n<p>The idea of a third party testing group is not a bad one. The question is whether or not this is the right move for Gods Unchained right now. I guess we will soon see!<\/p>\n<p>For more information about Gods Unchained, read our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.playtoearn.online\/games\/gods-unchained\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gods Unchained game guide<\/a>.
