The Rogue Star PvE On IMX
We’re taking Rogue Star to new heights.
We’ve come a long way and you’ve been by our side through every step of the process. Today we’d like to proudly announce our partnership with IMX. We’d also like to take this time to outline how we’ll be partnering with IMX to deliver you the best PvE experience possible.
Here’s everything you need to know about IMX and our decision.
What’s IMX?
ImmutableX (IMX) is the leading Layer 2 scaling solution on Ethereum, powering the next generation of Web3 games. IMX’s focus on gaming, impressive list of games and technology is why we believe they are best equipped to launch our upcoming PvE demo.
How so? We’re glad you asked. Here are some keys to IMX:
- Gasless minting
- Blazing Fast (9k+ TPS!)
- Carbon Neutral
- Incredibly Secure
If you know anything about blockchain technology and crypto games, you probably know that all of these factors are EXTREMELY important in order for a game to work properly and scale.
But enough with the technical talk… Why should you, the gamer, care? Why does this benefit you? Why is it best for the game?
PvE Loot System
Looting is a massive part of any great MMO experience. With IMX at our side, we are able to take it to a whole new level.
As far as what to expect: You will earn ship components, skins, $NOVA and more when battling in the PvE demo. IMX’s gasless minting allows this to happen without interruption or failure.
What exactly do we mean? Imagine this…
- Your team destroys the final boss, Dark Colossus
- Loot rains down on you for you to pick up…
- You have to click on a piece of loot (NFT), wait for txn, approve txn, wait again… FINALLY!
- Or… that txn fails, you don’t pick it up, and you have to try again.
- After you’ve picked the first piece of loot up, you have to do that again 10 more times.
WHEW… Kinda sucks, right? This is not an experience gamers will tolerate.
IMX’s gasless transactions will allow you to pick up your loot in seconds and be onto the next raid. THAT’S how it should be, and it’s so important to us and our vision for the core gameplay experience.
The loot system in our PvE demo experience will be similar to great MMOs we’ve all come to know and love, such as Diablo and Borderlands.
We can’t wait for you to get your hands on the game!
FAQs
What happens to my Solana assets?
The transition is going to be seamless and frictionless. You will send your assets to your Stardust “game wallet” and let the magic happen. 🪄
Why IMX over SOL?
Building the PvE demo on IMX came down to finding the best user experience. This demo is going to highlight our MMO/ARPG-style loot system, and the best way to do that is utilizing IMX’s tech.
The problem with a loot system on other chains right now is each time you pick up a piece of loot, you will have to complete a transaction. After you battle the final boss in the PvE demo, you could have a dozen pieces of loot to pick up. That would take so much time… As gamers, we see that as a poor game experience. And as we’ve said time and time again, we’re building this game for gamers, not for P2E bros. (Sorry P2E bros)
IMX’s gas free NFT minting will enable a proper loot system experience.
Will Rogue Star be cross chain?
100%. We don’t want to divulge the details yet, but in short: Chains won’t matter.
You will login through any major blockchain wallet and play Rogue Star. Stay tuned for details on this… It’s tech we are developing with Stardust and it’s as industry changing as Rogue Star itself.
Thank you all for your patience and excitement, Wanderers!! Next up… Getting you into the game :)
