[Implemented] A better prize wheel (26 November)

[Ducky]

Thank you for understanding! Yes, we want to ensure that the wheel will work like a charm when it’s released, so doing the testing carefully is essential and crucial.

[EffBeeEye]

Makes sense to me.

[r2d2]

Have you registered on the forum just say that ?

[detved]

Is there an update launch eta and will this delay also come with yet another rule change?

[Rekonn]

I’m seeing the quest area in the app is blank. Should have an “under maintenance” message or something while down

[JG20]

Looks like we can spin the wheel now.

[zin]

why is the fee so high(0,08 PVR) ?

[JG20]

Yep, I keep “winning” .01 PRV. So I’m actually losing money at this point.

[AK47]

Has anyone who’s won LOTTO seen the tokens hit their assets? I added the token but still have 0 balance

[Chucky]

Hey @AK47 There is a bit of a delay due to high traffic, the prizes should show up in your account shortly. Not to worry.

[Milwauk]

It used to be 0.07 PRV, the chance to get the prize is lower, all you can get for every turn is 0.01, then u lose 0.07 PRV, smart wheel lol

[KittyCatCrunchie]

@EffBeeEye Yeah this is kind of ridiculous. They didn’t say anything about a spin charge other than quest tokens! This is totally unfair

[aaron]

I understand the frustration. We could have done much better with the release and scheduling, and it’s never fun to have the finish line moved. That’s on us.

None of this was intended to disappoint, and everything done so far was only done to create a fun and informative game that shows off Incognito’s privacy tech and points people toward other kinds of privacy solutions, too.

That said, people were surprised by the fee, but it was announced in advance and during pre-launch. It wasn’t a malicious or profit-making change, it was a pivot made to preserve the integrity of the game. We honestly just didn’t expect the Quest to get so big. Even with fees, it won’t make a profit, and the team will still take a loss. We are ok with that if it helps real users learn cool things.

It was never about giving away free money. It was about rewarding/incentivizing true users, people interested in privacy, to learn more. It was about creating the first private, open-source lottery, and the first pApp on Incognito.

If you came for the free money and are disappointed that you get less of it, I think you’re missing the point.

Plus, we made multiple changes that weren’t negative. We doubled prizes to accommodate the amount of players, and changed an entire part of the game (read: rewrote entire sections of code) to ensure that there is a 100% chance that someone wins the Bitcoin.

This was not a bait and switch, and while I understand how it can feel that way, it’s important to see everything in its full context.

So people complaining about paying 0.08 PRV per spin yet will pay astronomical gas fees on ETH for some speculative ICO tokens?

[Tempestblack]

Well put Aaron in defending and responding to the complaints lodged about quest…for indeed quest was created for the purposes of rewarding and incentivizing true users of Incognito…

[aaron]

Thanks for the support!! Are you enjoying the Quest?

[Tempestblack]

To be honest I did not get a chance to play or search for quests…was dealing with real time issues but I have kept up on the chat in the telegram room for Incognito and found alot of the comments funny and entertaining and it seems that quite a few of the regular members on Incognito are enjoying themselves as they should…and well then Jaime, Ducky, and Chucky have been awesome as moderators in the room and very professional and helpful to all…

[Jersey]

Easy guys, they create the quest to let us have a place to play. First time holding, give them more detailed feedback to make it better.

[Tempestblack]

Thanks, Jersey for the comment…it is positive, constructive, and honest…
