October/November Giveaways Starting 1 Week From Now
I will be going on vacation from October 10 - November 9. @proto26 will handle the 5 🍉 [MELN] Weekly EXODE Wrap-Ups during this time period (posts # 58 - # 62). Be sure to look out for them on his profile, in the # exode-promotion-posts channel in the community Discord Server or in the #Oneup Community here on HIVE. He is an amazing writer so you are in good hands!
========================================
Hello, Pilots!
A lot of good information has been released this week, and I am excited to see how much EXODE has changed when I come back from vacation!
📰News:
Citizens
Citizen generation has been extended with features such as all members sharing the same last name, random affinities, and skills (of low quality of course),
New Inline Tooltips
Tooltips are also now draggable.
Beta Packs and Cards!
This Friday an announcement of Beta Packs will be released likely on @elindos' blog. This will also include an announcement of Alpha Rewards as well. Get 1 of each card ASAP if you can!
Here is what @elindos had to say about Beta Reserved Packs:
BETA RESERVED PACKS
...
As reminded in a previous message:
...
We will make sure to take into account the current situation of crypto.
So we will "lessen" the number of packs people would feel inclined to purchase.
...
For instance, we would really love to release a Drachian faction contract or other known faction contracts.
But some players don't have the same allowance right now so they would feel some frustration or at least feel like they miss an opportunity.
We really want to find this fine line and perfect situation where players have an opportunity and less frustration.
...
Please note all of our contracts are destined to have a strong identity and utility ingame.
So there will still be some big opportunities out there and we can't avoid it!
...
While we leave Drachian contracts for later, we will still propose:
one new faction contract
and several special assets of 2325.
...
We will deploy only half of our opportunities but some of these will be important.
Promo Cards
@elindos had this to say about Promo Cards:
ALSO, WHO WANTS A PROMO CARD?
...
Also, we will be thinking of a promo card to reward people participating and waiting for us.
As we always do when we feel late on something!
...
The last promo cards were distributed for free and then got close to 100 USD value because of how rare, unique and useful they are.
People could choose among 4 unique card profiles and once distributed, they became of important value.
...
We will think about that, considering our current payloads they will be defined somewhere later in October, but we definitely want to send to our active players their promo reward too!
He also mentioned the possibility of Community Rewards:
COMMUNITY REWARDS
...
We also would like to dedicate one promo card to contests, a card which will be minted in limited numbers and be proposed only in contests once they reach a planned participation size. This will be part of our beta actions.
...
Meanwhile, you can still expect other rewards to come in all kind of community contests!
🎁Giveaway:
This week, 3 different people have a chance of winning:
1x Ayumi
This card was voted as the community's favorite purely because of how good the art is, at least according to 🍉 [MELN] Weekly EXODE Giveaway #1. But she is more than just her looks, she is one of the best fighters in the game. She has the 'Veteran' keyword which means that only one copy of her can be in the deck just like The Kumicho, however Ayumi is an Officer. She is skilled in Warfare, Cover, Speed, Courage, Heroism, and Awareness. Basically every trait that is used in a fight. She is also a Narcophile, but who in the Syndicate isn't? Where Ayumi really shines is in her Bound Items, with a Syndicate Blade. You may be thinking to yourself "What's so cool about that?" Well, swords don't run out of ammo. She doesn't need a gun, and even if you do equip her with one, if she runs out of ammo she can use her sword. As long as she doesn't die, you've got a killing machine. Especially if you pair her with an Arena Powersuit. She also comes with a set of N-Prime pills.
🎉Previous Winners:

My favorite comment came from @cartel-exode:
Counter-suggestion: instead of including weapons in starters, what about characters with bound weapons? Like a guard that is already armed with a stun gun or taser.
This is such a simple and effective solution that I cannot believe I didn't think of it!
