First of all, I want to say that in no way or form I want to FUD this project. Everything that I will say is to improve the project for the community and the team should take this as feedback.
I have added some of the things that I have said in xworld telegram.
The DAO is currently useless, this is backed up by the following:
The communication between the team and playerbase/investors is seriously lackluster. This can be backed up by the issues such as:
- Maintenance in games is announced solely on Telegram and rarely on discord. The issue here is that the maintenance is announced at most 20 minutes before. Any big project has to have a fixed schedule, for example, every week on monday at 12:00 PM UTC, maintenance will be performed. Sure, there might be times where critical bugs appear, and for that emergency maintenance can be done, but there needs to be a schedule for maintenance, and not just announcing it 20 minutes early, give atleast 7-8 hours warning.
- Dreamcard Bimbos: No mint cost provided anywhere. After advertising as a giveaway(Proof , it says giveaway and whitelist can be done for free projects as well), the mint price was not announced anywhere, not on twitter or any other social media. The team in discord and telegram later answered that its 0.05 ETH mint, but there was no advertisement done of any sort. When projects mint, they plan for months and don’t just randomly drop a link for a mint ( 9 HOURS HEADS UP , come on, atleast market with the mint date for a week or two). Anyhow, the team assured us that more information will be provided, but that has not come yet ( Yes, there was a medium post, but it didn’t explain any details and a new source of information was to be provided to the community). I want to add that I do own a bimbo and have been waiting for more information (also believe the supply should be reduced to 777 or 1500).
- Mid-February Marketplace maintenance: Again, no heads up for anyone. Marketplace was down for 2 days, after it goes down, some mods say the contract is updating, but this should’ve been informed to the community. Oh did I mention that the marketplace is not functioning properly again (3rd March), no announcement again.
- V1 system overhaul: Cards have their skills/stats changed. Announcement: Nowhere to be found. Patch notes: Not found either.
- Binance NFT converter not functional: No announcement, atleast announce that it’s not working and players shouldn’t attempt it until its fixed.
- Equipment Draw bug: No announcement that it’s bugged, some players don’t receive equipment. IMO it should’ve been taken down after the first 20 times the bug is reported, but now the team has to manually check each player who’ve lost equipment after filling the form.
Some Unfulfilled Promises:
- There was a v2 launch campaign along with bug bounty, which was supposed to end in January, yet no information was provided and the rewards haven’t been given or announced.
- Genesis pool was announced for 1st feb, yet delayed for over an month and last update was beginning of February, where it was stated that it will be coming soon.
- Removal of unnecessary gas fees in v2 (For example, collecting chest reward AND then collecting it again from adventure)
- Binance V2 mystery box: These cards (Gray and Betty) were not playable until mid february. If they were not ready, why sell the mystery box? Also in the mystery box’s rule section, it states: “Dream World Combination Bounty Hunter offers designated Heroes combination bonuses” (Source), yet these characters have not gotten a combination bonus ( It’s been more than a month).
EDIT 1: New Points
Mystery box sold on the notion of getting priority to test V2 - Complete lie. I bought some mystery boxes in order to test V2 along with other members of the community. Guess what? There was no priority, so the selling points of these mystery boxes was a complete lie. Thanks to Luan on Telegram for reminding me of this.
How can we solve it?
The issue is clearly that the team/community mods are not getting clear information from the devs, but the team should try to resolve that ASAP. Devs need to plan ahead and set a fixed schedule for maintenance and have everything ready BEFORE events are announced (looking at genesis pool). Making announcements on the day itself is disrespectful to the community.
While we’re on this point, let’s also try to fix the broken English in the game and social media, I don’t know who is running the bimbos and XWG twitter account, but please give it to J0UINSS8 or Spotter, as they seem to be fluent in English, or hire somebody for social media. The English in the game is laughable and doesn’t put a good image of the project inside the mind of a new player, so I ask that to be fixed asap.
Final Remarks
You cannot run a DAO without being transparent with the community and hopefully the lack of communication will be fixed ASAP. Also DAO considers community’s point of view, so some members of the community should be chosen to forward ideas to the team for a DAO Vote.
I will add more issues if I remember, cause there are a lot more.
