Important notice: Holopacks, Bits, Crafting and Sales pricing will change!
Hello everyone!
We hope you've all been enjoying the latest updates in Holodrive such as the new weapon, items, icons, poses and the new and improved Holopack! We worked really hard to bring those to you as soon as we could :)
But we realized that in order to keep the in-game economy running smoothly we would need to change many of the game's costs and/or pricing points. This is due to all the changes that came with this new update and updates that came before (packs giving more items, different holopacks, missions that gives you guys more bits, etc...)
So starting soon (there will be an announcement) we will reevaluate and implement changes in almost every aspect of the game's economy. Things you can expect:
- Holopack drop-rate changes
- Holopack pricing changes
- Quarks changes (both for receiving quarks and for crafting)
- Bits packs changes (pricing and/or ammount of bits)
We are sending this update beforehand so you can decide the best fate for your Quarks or Bits, please spend them wisely :)
Don't forget that the Dev Team is available on discord if you want to talk to us and send us feedback! Discord.gg/holodrive
Best Regards,
BitCake Studio dev Team
Quick Update: Quarks fix!
Hey everyone!
During this new update we took some time to rebalance the dematerialization costs of items.
The reason is that we are giving you all more items so to make everything fair and square we needed to rebalance how many quarks you got for every dematerialized item. Problem is that 2 bugs appeared that are now solved:
- You should now see the correct amount of Quarks when dematerializing an item
- Fixed a bug where the quarks counter wouldn't go up when receiving a small amount of Quarks (such as 5 Quarks).
Do not worry, everyone has received their quarks correctly and everything is alright.
We were able to solve these issues quickly because our amazing community helped us through our Official Discord! So if you want to help us, please join discord.gg/holodrive and talk to us directly!
See you in the next update!
