🍺Happy Hour Q&A🍺 — W4
Since we have Happy Hour section in Discord, the core team have collected many good questions from our dear users. Here we’ll put questions & answers together, in case anyone misses out on what they might want to know.
Q1:
At the moment we only can use 1 land and we know will release the farming mode soon, so I would like to know if the team are thinking in add a stake mode in the future? like players choose a land, place the Botans there and farm AVA. It would be nice and we could use all lands there.
A1:
In the upcoming Farm Mode, players will be able to deploy up to 3 Lands at the same time (only in Farm). For staking, we are considering adding it but maybe in a more entertaining way. Will disclose more details once it’s ready.
Q2:
Hi, the Genesis box sale with islands went through. It was expected that by Genesis meant some kind of bonus at NFT like many other games. It turned out to be the same islands as before. Is there going to be some kind of chip and extra bonus for NFT owners with GENESIS status
A2:
There’re quite a few people asking the meaning of Genesis. I’ll answer here.
Genesis Sales means it’s the first real sales (before that most NFTs were released by free mint activities. Basically in the current in-game features, Land with the same rarity doesn’t have major differences, no matter its genesis or not. However, we might add additional bonus to Genesis NFTs in the near future, e.g. airdrops.
Q3:
Hi all, quick one but would it be possible to elaborate further on the advantages the different stats will have in the arena/world bosses?
A3:
In the first version of the Farm mode design, the team use gamification mode based on the World Boss feature. In this feature, there are different BUFF will be released, for instance, BUFF for certain attributes of the Botan. Therefore, you might get additional bonus if the BUFF happens to be the strong attributes type of your Botan.
Q4:
Hello, please tell me, will there be any modes in the future where it will be necessary to use different BOTANS without using repeated BOTANS in order to stimulate people to collect different flowers of different types ?
A4:
YES! The team has already considered this. This is one of the design features in Collect to Earn. Like in Pokemon Go, you will get benefits if you collect different types of Pokemon when facing different situations. The team is trying to combine more interesting gameplay with sustainable tokenomics to achieve the goal of Collect to earn step by step.
Q5:
I’m a collector who likes to collect different kinds of things, not the same thing. Which is more important for Plant Crossing? Do you care about the number collected or the type?
A5:
The core gameplay in the current MVP version is WALK & COLLECT & EARN among which we value COLLECT the most. We encourage players to collect various types and rarities of NFTs just like you collect cartoon cards in childhood, and will definitely reward such behavior. For example, different types of Land have their own in-game buff. In Farm Mode, we will also take it into consideration (however Farm is based on seasons where each season will last for some time, so not every single season will reflect this coz we’d like to make each season interesting, but diversification of NFT will be a key principle for sure)
Q6:
Hi Gents. What do u think about future of M2E in Plant and other projects at all? For the moment working model mostly steps counting more or less. Do u think web3 will bring some interesting ideas like planting a tree in real life and getting rewarded? Our digital world really can help with real world problems in nearest future, hope so.
A6:
It’s a good question. I like it. The point you raised is also what we try to figure out and present to not only our users, but Web3. GameFi projects started booming in early 2021 initially with the P2E model — players need to pay to purchase NFT, sometimes expensive, to join the game, and play around there with gameplay and tokenomics not well designed — it crashed soon. In the design of Plant Crossing, we try to build a project that lasts for a long time and do lots of trial so far, e.g. choose hyper casual gaming to engage general people, make a single-token model instead of dual-token, and explore interesting in-game features (there are a lot in pipeline). We are more than happy to share more details in the near future!
Q7：
Currently, there are few uses for AVA. Buying at the market is cheaper than breeding. In the future, what kind of uses do you have other than training NFT?
A7:
AVA is the only token in Plant Crossing and Avalon Platform. The utilities are not yet released fully. At present, the utility of AVA is to upgrade Botan NFTs. But in the future, we will empower AVA with more features in Plant Crossing and Avalon Platform. Plant Crossing is still at a very early stage. We just released one feature of AVA. There will be more new features once our App is more mature.
Q8:
Do you plan to do slow mode after sale? To avoid speculation.
A8:
If I understand correctly, you are talking about the pace of NFT release — it’s seriously considered by the team. Basically it’s related to user growth — as more people join the project the demand for NFTs will grow, if we don’t release more assets then many people don’t own NFT and the price will be unreasonably high — which is not good. We are taking this carefully and will share more details whenever possible.

Q9:
When will more information about interaction with AlterVerseGame appear and how will it take place? And if you can briefly what kind of buns will be? Thank you.
A9:
The first step for us is to build our digital store in AlterVerse’s Sky City. In the near future, we will add mini-game and quests in Sky City. We are also working on a series of promotional events with AlterVerse.

Q10:
The first farm mode is expected in early May, where the boss raid will be introduced. I would like to check with you beforehand, how will the different varieties of plants (water, fire, etc) and the Mountain island affect the damage done on the boss?
And then I wanted to ask, will it be a one-time attack as in the arena or a long AFK fight?
A10:
As we introduced previously, the type of Botans, type of attributes, certain Botan combinations, etc. would matter since there will be BUFF during each period. The team is working on the production stage right now. We will release specific rules once ready. As for the gameplay, yes, we use AFK solution since we want to make the app more casual so that more users can join with us. We don’t believe hardcore gameplay will attract massive users from web2 and web3 in the current stage.
Q11:
Hello team! Could you please tell a little bit more about the lines of Avalon platform development? It’s mentioned about SDK service and solutions for brands. Are there only GameFi projects planned or any other branches are also considered? If so, could you please name some of them?
A11:
Good question. We just kicked off development of Avalon Platform and it shares a long-term vision. On the platform definitely not only Gaming projects — mostly gaming and social dapps. We will release some names of partners / dapps in the near future.
Q12:
No one are asking so… team r u thinking in the future add new features like increase the botan maximum stats, update land, players leaderboard (as carnival event) or even attack others players land and battle with the botans placed on the land (battle 3vs3)
A12:
We do have considered battle based on team or what we call it: Tribe mode. This feature is already in the team’s product pipeline. Also in future stages like Beta Stage, the Botan level will be higher than lv30 as in the Alpha Stage. As for the leaderboard, there will be more events with leaderboards for sure.
If none of the above answers solve your confusion, be sure to go to Discord for a Happy Hour every Friday from 1pm to 2pm (UTC) and feel free to ask questions!
