Hi everyone

[Dr.Ido]

Hello,

I just joined Cyanide and the Dogs of Wars team to work on all marketing related things, basically I'll do my best to get new players into the game, monitor what you do and tune the shop and all other money related features.

Don't worry yet, my ultimate goal is not to turn Dogs of War into a pay to win game and take all your money. I want to find a balance between making the game profitable enough so that it can live for a long time and yet providing a fun and rewarding game to the all the players, paying or not.

I'm sure we'll have many interesting discussions in the future

Have fun !

Welcome i assume this move means only one thing: the open beta is about to be launched. This leads to the next question, will the cyans system be implemented there for the first time as well? What will be the current exchange ratio €/cyans? Will there be the possibility to turn ducats into cyans (for whatever reason)? Will cyans be tradable?

[Dr.Ido]

You're perfectly right, the open beta is coming soon. We'll to post something official soon with all the details.

Regarding the Cyans, yes, the switch to open beta means that we will open the shop. There will be some other changes, but I'd rather discuss it with you after we posted all the details.

What I can tell you is that the cyan to € ratio will depend on the amount of Cyans you get (more Cyans meaning a better ratio of course). Also, you won't be able to turn Ducats into Cyans, the whole point of having 2 currency is link one to more or less to the playing time and the other to the money spent. If we connect the two, we might as well have just one and it would bring a lot of balancing problem.

Finally, I don't expect Cyans to ever be tradable between players. Having an ingame market or an auction house is not necessarily a bad idea, but that's not how we designed the economy of Dogs of Wars and I just don't think it could work without major changes that would have impact on the rest of the game.

We'll to post something official soon with all the details.
