Q2 From Telegram User @Modrumz120
From the Time Raiders’ white paper, i read that There are 3 forms of Staking XPND. Can you please mention the 3 forms of staking XPND on the Time Raiders platform, and elaborate more on each of these forms of staking the XPND? Can users be able to use all 3 of these staking forms? Or are there certain restrictions to the number of staking forms a user can use if they wish to use all three? Lastly, what are the requirements needed for users to be able to participate in these forms of staking XPND on the Time Raiders platform? Thank you.
Matthew Charles
Staking plays a big part of the game
There is external STaking via a webpage, our offering of the ‘normal’ XPND staking route
But the rewards are a huge Community Pool, and they are divvied out pro-rata basis depending upon how many people come in and for how long
And, there are expenditures from within the game that top up the pools all year long
So, it’s potentially a much larger upside than the usual set interest rate
Matthew Charles
Staking in-game is also exciting
We are creating loads of ways to stake XPND and NFTs for gain
Simon’s fave is the Factories
How many pools are you intending to make available?
Matthew Charles
There are 4 pools at the start: Quarterly, Semi-Annually, Annually, and Bi-Annually
The best return will be the 2-year lock up, of course
Si Bailey
in game you can stake against weapons factory orders. The factory will produce weapons a unique, valuable order of weapon NFTs. The NFTs can be used in the game and sold on the open market
Matthew Charles
And it’s designed so that 8 quarters will be less than 4 half years will be less than 2 1 years
So the best is the 2-year lock up
Staking in game
Matthew Charles
you can find some awesome unique NFTs with great ingame utility and power
or you can find common NFTs but upgrade them to make them unique and exciting
You have great staking options for your users
Matthew Charles
you can then STake them as a means of Renting them to other players to make income
You can Stake in loads of other ways too
Si Bailey
Hot air balloons unlock hidden high levels, submarines can unlock deep underwater levels
Matthew Charles
each with very cool gains
And the returns are fixed?
Matthew Charles
upgrades to the powers of the NFTs, or even replacing one NFT with something better
Si Bailey
weapons can be trained and named to increase their reputation
Matthew Charles
You the player get to set the rates for Fixed Term or a Profit Share (though the second one may be Q2 instead of release)
Matthew Charles
during the rental staking
Thank you for your Answers
Ready now to proceed to the next question?
Si Bailey
Q3 From Telegram User @sunny_steel
NFTs are considered to be the core of Time Raiders. As you mention, they come in different rarities, with values increasing with rarity and in-game utility. Please share with us the main utilities of your NFTs. How does the interaction between users and your Marketplace is built? How affordable are the NFTs (game items) for game players? Is there a part of NFTs that can be earned through airdrops or can be earned by being active in Time Traiders community? Thanks!
Matthew Charles
in Time Raiders, everything is aan NFT
Raiders, Weapons, Armor, Tech,
Si Bailey
you can enter and play the game for free to start
Matthew Charles
Factories, Facilities
even the little Materials used for upgrades are NFT potentials, despite being Common
Si Bailey
weapons, characters and their companions
vehicles, art, machines all NFTs
Matthew Charles
the player will be able to find NFTs in the treasure hunt
airdrops
Si Bailey
Hot air balloon to unlock hidden levels, submarine to unlock deep underwater levels
Matthew Charles
but also be able to make NFTS
Si Bailey
these are rare
Matthew Charles
in Factories
to use or sell
Si Bailey
graveyard NFTs produce Zombies
Matthew Charles
and he’ll be able to take even common NFTs and upgrade them to give them extra utiliti and valy
Si Bailey
you can use the Zombies in the game!
Is it provided for free? Or at least should be holding native token to use factory?
So all your NFT’s are upgradeable?
Si Bailey
players can use NFTs to unlock rewards and then sell the NFTs on the market
Matthew Charles
all the main NFTs are upgradeable yes
Si Bailey
rewards are never the same!
Matthew Charles
The player can get lucky and find something amazing
But he can also just be a good steady player and upgrade it over time
To make it of much more value
Si Bailey
making money should be fun!
What do users need to carry out upgrades?
Si Bailey
ultimately we will put level creation tools into the hands of the players…..
Matthew Charles
So, during the game, they find Materials
Matthew Charles
these are common
Matthew Charles
and when the player builds up enough, they can use bundles of them to upgrade guns through many stages and even some branches for differentiation
they can take something worth a dollar and make it worth 100s
they could also use a basic item like a knife, in fun and different ways
to give it a reputation
that becomes very valuable
Stabby the Tank Slayer!
and sell their Knife in the marketplace for big bucks
This is well thought out
So many things are in the hands of players!
Thank you for your Answers
Matthew Charles
yes thank you
Ready for the next question?
Matthew Charles
we want to make something fun and very very rewading
Q4 From Telegram User @iceVermithraxx
According to your Gameplay, I noted that Time Raider has their different game levels which are Game one, Game two and Game three. Can you elaborate on these three different game levels in Time Raiders? What are the perquisite for users to belong to each of these levels? Can you also share on the requirements for users to begin to play and earn from Time Raider? I also noted that all in-game items are NFTs and can be converted to Time Raider Native token, $XPND, is $XPND listed on any exchange yet? What are the utilities of $XPND token?
Matthew Charles
Si Bailey
i prefer big bombs to knives but well explained Matt!
Matthew Charles
For every ‘time period’ there are 7 main levels and 3 secret levels
And then, for every level/scenario, there is Story Mode, and then there are a load of other game modes planned
Like zombie mode, or speed run, or rescue or tower defense, etc
Each time you complete a level in the main Story Mode, you unlock the other game modes and the next level.
But, each level gets a little bit harder
so level 2 is harder than the one before it
Si Bailey
players earn daily XPND rewards
Matthew Charles
so it is best to upgrade your Raiders and Weapons in between each level
The player then earns XPND and NFTs by playing the levels
All these levels makes it all the more exciting
Si Bailey
prgress through the game allows you to earn more XPND
Matthew Charles
you can fulfil objectives, fulfill achievements, or find treasure troves to get these
Matthew Charles
and the odd enemy will also do a random drop now and then
Great names! Already caught by them and wanna play!
Matthew Charles
We are attempeting to keep the game free to play and enter
If the economics requires, we will create some form of entry key later down the line
XPND listing is coming, but players will always be able to buy and sell NFTs to each other through our in game Marketplace
direct audience
What are the use cases spelled out for $XPND?
Matthew Charles
So, Earning, you can: get daily rewards, fulfill objectives in levels, fulfill achievements in levels, find Treasure Troves, or get random drops from enemies
in-game utility, XPND is the main currency
So you can spend XPND to: Upgrade, buy Consumables, buy more Energy, Play levels, Stake to power up Factories and Facilities
You can also earn/spend XPND in the marketplace buying and selling to each other, or through rental agreements staking NFTs
Everything runs on XPND in game
Lots of earning potential, and lots you can spend on to improve your chances of doing well in levels by upgrading NFTs, that are then, themselves worth more in the marketplace
Matthew Charles
Thank you for your Great answers
Let’s proceed to the next question
Q5 From Telegram User @Highpee
In order to start the game, you said player will first need to obtain a generic character. Can you describe how players will obtain the initial characters that will be used to kick start the game? What is the difference between this initial CHARACTER and COMPANION which you said is needed in order to operate some types some type of weapons? How are characters and companion collaboratively used during real time game situations, in order for a user to be able to win a combat? Lastly, Since you said these game actors are upgradable, can you guide players on how to go about this?
Matthew Charles
We are finalising this before we do the Live Beta launch.
There are currently 50 Raiders planned for the game, but we are starting with 2 Raiders the player can choose between
a Sniper (Helen the Nun) or a Commando (Jason the soldier)
Originally, we were trying to associated the player with their main character, but in actuallity
Matthew Charles
the player will be able to collect all the Raiders over time shoudl they choose to do so
When you play however, you control 1 main Raider, and up to 3 other Raiders can come into the level with you as a Raid Squad
the AI for the companion Raiders is brilliant
our team are geniuses
but you’ll be able to switch between them to control any of them should you choose to do so
Si Bailey
companions can be trained in game and then rented or sold
Matthew Charles
The Raiders will alll be able to be upgraded in a whole load of different ways and paths
this is what will make the players Raider unique
By the way, do you have an exact date for Beta Launch?
Matthew Charles
he can train him down a set skill path that could be different from everyone else’s Raider and make it more valuable as a result
We are shooting for April, and we’ll release the exact date as we get closer
We want to make sure that we bug-test well before launching
People who participate in the Live Beta will get some form of NFT reward for doing so
Si Bailey
example characters
They Look Awesome
I’m clear on this one
Thank you
This is awesome for community testers!
Let’s Move to the Last question for this part
Q6 From Telegram User @GracieEne
When not engaged in the shoot and loot arcade levels, players will spend their time in the Interdimensional Hub. The ID Hub is said to house a large variety of spaces for players to interact with. What is this ID hub all about, and what kinds of activities can players carry out in this hub. In one of the spaces called The Resurrection chamber, I read that slain companions can be revived. What are the processes a player has to go through in order to revive a slain companion? Is there a maximum number of time a companion can be revived? When a companion is revived, will his strength be exactly as it was or will there be a reduction?
Matthew Charles
IF a Raider dies during a level, when you get back to the HUB, they have to rest for a while before you can use them again or, you can speed it up in the resurrection chamber but they will be back to full strength it would be unfair otherwise
What other things can they do in the Hub?
Matthew Charles
The Hub is the centre of all
Agree! And it’s nice that Raiders do not die completely and forever
Matthew Charles
Upgrade Raiders, Upgrade NFTs, Staking NFTs, Staking ‘Quests’, Factory production of new NFTs
The beautfy of a Time based game
Si Bailey
staking quests?—?fabulous idea Matt!
Matthew Charles
We teleport them back
And of course the black market
where you can interact with other players
oh, and later Multiplayer of course!
Battle Arena Touraments!
There’s so much to explore! Fantastic!
So many Great features, you’ve Done great work

Q2 from Telegram user WOLF Knight

Matthew Charles
We are speaking with Guilds to make plans for how we can partner with them to create scholarship opportunities for their members
Q3 from Telegram user@Abdul_Rahim07
Actually, I’m so amazed with the #PlayTimeRaiders graphics. What are the game modes available in #PlayTimeRaiders game? What graphics system my PC need to be able to play it?
Si Bailey

Q4 from Telegram user
Players who are not engaged in the active shoot and Loot event of gameplay, they can spend their time in the INTERDIMENSIONAL HUB (ID Hub) of the game. Since you said XPND token is necessary to access the hub’s function, how many XPND is needed to open each activity? Are these tokens staked or are they deducted from users’ wallet every time any of these activities is engaged?
Matthew Charles
Each upgrade and other engagement will start at only 1XPND each to begin with
Q5 from Telegram user @surendra040
You mentioned that your game is free to start. Does this mean there is no cost to play your game ?what device can I play your game on mobile or pc??
Si Bailey
free to start the game and its on PC
Q6 from Telegram user
Most games nowadays are very expensive to start with and this pisses off many users thereby making such gaming platforms have a very small player base. For Time Raiders, will there be an entry fee from onset or the game will be free from the onset OR are there any specific conditions that users need to meet to start enjoying the Time Raiders game?
Matthew Charles
We are attempting to have no barrier to entry, and trying to plan our economics to allow this to stay that way. It we have to, we’ll begin later to inroduce some form of entry key
Q7 from Telegram user @kaunjilla
WHERE WE CAN USE THE TOKEN AND THE NFTS OF THE TIME RAIDERS PLATFORM ? AND I WANT TO ASK THAT FROM WHERE WE CAN BUY THIS PLATFORM TOKEN ?IS THEIR ANY WAY TO SAFE FROM FAKE TOKENS SELLERS ?

Q10 from Telegram user @Cheriemike
Some of TimeRaider’s staking features are “Staking for Factories”,”Staking Skin”,”Staking Quests”.So can you kindly provide us with information on the process of each staking features?What are the necessary requirements for each staking?What are the incentives players are to receive when they stake in each features and is it compulsory that players stake in all of them?
Matthew Charles
Staking in game is not compulsory, but the advantages of doing so are that you get to make your own Unique NFTS to use or sell, so it can become a very lucrative means of earning for a player
