EXODE presale is LIVE; here is our full guide to use our new Shop!

EXODE ship now approaching Planet 'Presale'.
We expect it to be huge.
Our destination next week: releasing player market.

Attention all pilots, attention all friends!
It is happening NOW!

We are witnessing the birth of a new game on HIVE.
If you don't know anything about it, there are a lot of resources to enjoy, from a Game Manifesto, to a wiki, but also, as always, this video:

First messages of a new game!

Today the first real transfers happen.

Also the first valid broadcasts, first messages from exodegame to "print" in an imperishable way all your EXODE assets. Once there on the blockchain, it cannot be lost.

All this will happen with three steps.

Step One: Shopping from cyberdeck!

The first step is YOU, of course.

To do that you just have to access our website.
(disaster prevention #1: if our front comes down, we'll release links to others and make a public post)

You first come to a "preloading" step; very important to guarantee stability with low capacity networks. Since the world is on lockdown, network nodes are known to be extremely fragile.

Then you will come to this page.

You can click on "bonus" to get a new referral code. (more about bonuses here)
Or click on any button (Presale, get packs etc) to get here:

This is where the magic happens.

You can explore all Starters, Boosters, support ships, contracts, crew...

To know more about these packs you can check this post but even better: you can access more descriptions ingame.

You will need a starter to play EXODE, and it would be interesting to get boosters. As you will see from the descriptions, Origins are very important cards - you can get three of them in Starters, but four others are in boosters only.

Boosters also hive you a discount on your entire order. (-2 % to the whole order per 40 boosters)
This can be an advantage to guarantee more profit later.

I can share a few words about the 'hidden Origins'. These four are:

• The Stranded Trader (with an immense cargo hold on his ship; able to move colonies from planet to planet!),
• The Cruise Ship Captain (with an immense passenger capacity)
• But also the Secret Agent: who has a stealthy ship and special blueprints of mankind's last secret weapons!
• And the legendary Pirate.

Maybe you will find the contracts interesting too - they give lifetime drops! The drops begin at the end of this month (once Evacuation is released), and remember they can be sold to the player market.

Step Two: Placing your Order!

Placing your order is easy and guided step by step.

EXODE currently accepts three payment options:
- You can pay with HIVE coins of course! EXODE is a HIVE blockchain game!
- You can pay with STEEM coins. We added that option following a community vote!
- You can pay with Paypal.

To place an order with Steem or Hive, the site will announce you what to transfer and where.

On Day 1, a few options are lacking.

We did not include keychain 'yet'. The reason is because we focused efforts on all other parts of our launch. We have a testroom on Discord which ran for the last 48 hours (with good results) and we had to make sure mobile browsers were okay with us.

Keychain options are announced to be released soon.

We know the stress when making manual transfers - that tingling feeling behind our neck. But it gives you full control.

And it's done!

Once your order is placed - with paypal, HIVE or Steem - it's done.
The blockchain inner workings mean that it will take a few minutes to appear.
For HIVE and Steem, we have a process which scans our blocks automatically.

Once it detects your transfer with memo, exodegame will broadcast a first message to the blockchain:

You should appear as "recipient".
The "exode_newpacks" is the first broadcast acknowledging your assets.

A second one - an "exode_delivery" message, to your account - will be broadcasted also with unique ID tokens of each individual NFTs you acquired.

We don't send them on Day 1.

This is because the blockchain account will be extremely busy with purchases at the moment and the messages will overload the 3 seconds-per-message timer (100 percent chances to do that!).

But to show you the cards worked, we have something: you can already look at your NFTs! It's on a geeky API screen but it's still there. The shop will announce you the link to it.

Every player who ordered EXODE has access to one such link.
Actually, all HIVE accounts can access this API and see how it goes

Here I purchased a starter at 5 USD, which will increase to 10 USD after presale.

These NFTs will be decentralized and pushed to the blockchain at once, with "exode_delivery" push messages, as soon as presale transactions calm down.

Safety measures!

A reminder:

Alpha is made for early backers who wants to play early and have access to collectible content which will be unavailable in Beta. They also get the highest values, the best offers, the priority tests and feedback.

But they don't have the easiest play: they play the game when it needs perfection or even completion.

At the moment:

• You don't have access to the keychain tools, but to paypal and Hive + Steem transfers.

• We don't create HIVE accounts but we give you all the links for it! And actually, if you need help, we can still possibly create your HIVE account (ask for it in payment-support on our Discord)

• If you are stuck on preloading (something which happens on mobile networks in some countries?) : please insist!

• We also added a "skip preloading"' button in case you want an escape and your network is wrong.

• If website behaves oddly at some point, just reload it.

• During EU daytimes (and possibly much more) we will be there on "payment-support" and can proceed with manual investigation (and shipment) of all reports, even those pushed overnight.

• Paypal has several options that triggers with their popup, based on their own "intelligent program". The "intelligent program" they have is so intelligent that sometimes it bugs with itself, depending on what it chose to present you with. If it does not work, do it again, it will come through (happened in all my tests) and you never get to pay twice. Of course I am sorry about that.

• If a transfer is made you will receive all your packs.

• On Steem and Hive the process is automatic. With Paypal we perform manual review.

That's it pilots.
This was your guide to this launch day.

Another post will be made once launch happens - in 30 minutes now! :O
