Influence, a grand strategy MMO, is now available to eligible players in Pre-Release Early Access with a prize pool of 1 billion SWAY tokens.

Pre-Release Early Access Details

This early version of the game launched on February 21st at 3 PM UTC and is available to all players who owned an Arvad or a First Generation Adalian Crewmate before the snapshot took place in August last year. If you’re one of them, be sure to join the game’s official Discord server, create a Starknet account, and get some test tokens for free before diving into the browser-based title. Links to all of these are available in the official announcement.

This phase marks the start of a 7-week event during which players have a chance of earning a share of a 1 billion SWAY prize pool, which is divided into 3 categories: Solo Missions, Community Missions, and Community Contribution.

Solo Missions

As the name implies, Solo Missions are quests you can complete on your own in order to be rewarded for your individual efforts. There are a total of 9 missions to complete, with rewards split into 3 tiers: the first tier requires finishing 4 out of 9 missions, while the second tier tasks players with beating 6 out of a total 9 missions, and the third and final tier requires you to complete all 9 missions.

Community Missions & Contribution

While Community Missions can also be completed individually, there is a collective minimum threshold that the community as a whole must reach in order for anyone to be able to earn rewards from that mission, with a cap also in place “to ensure dilution of rewards is reduced.”

Last but not least, players who want to have a chance at qualifying in the Community Contribution category will want to try and contribute to the game in various different ways. These may include reporting a bug, sharing constructive feedback, providing your own suggestions, creating content showing the game in its Pre-Release phase, helping out community members, and more.

When Does the Public Access Phase Start?

If you’re not eligible for early access, then don’t worry, as the game is going publicly live very soon, on Tuesday, February 27th, at 3 PM UTC (10 AM EST). Once this phase starts, you should also be able to complete various missions for a chance at earning a piece of the prize pool.
