This is the Office Hours Report, your Friday recap of the NBA Top Shot Office Hours.
Bolded text indicates my own thoughts and opinions.
Office Hours - July 30th
Challenges
Next Metallic Gold LE challenges to be announced soon.
Team promises more varied quests and challenges headed into Series 2 Summer.
Long Term
Improving collector experience, building tools/features to support. I should stop including this in every Office Hours, the team says this at least once a week.
Team is looking for utility options that don't rely on engineer/developer time. An example of this would be the in-person experiences. Discounts at games, exclusive merch, these are just two ideas that I could see implemented in the future.
There are surprises coming that haven't been announced or teased yet. Ooooh, very exciting.
Series 3 will launch with a roadmap.
Miscellaneous
The team works with partners to meet expectations and requirements regarding which Moments are minted. There are numerous reasons why a certain Moment will or will not be minted.
It’s inevitable and only a matter of time that there will be more Moments for legendary players. The example given was that Dirk’s RIB Moment will not be his only. People want to see these all-time greats and legendary players, no matter the rarity of the Moment.
No updates on topics listed on image. Below is said image.
This image does give us a good idea of what’s to come albeit maybe a few months away. Rakeback is coming, it’s time to put the money into the hands of the people. Hardcourt is exciting, it will be a great way to introduce people to Top Shot. Trade Tickets we know are coming, they will most likely be introduced along with the ability to burn/stake moments. A Marketplace bid system would be a much needed shakeup for the market, definitely a gamechanger. The biggest future change I see on that list is the ability to sell unopened packs on the Marketplace, people definitely want Moments but I think more than that they desire packs.
Rebound Packs
Rebound packs are not off the table come Series 3.
Today's packs acting as a sort of pseudo-rebound pack. Not really sure what they mean by this.
Series 3 is allowing the dev team to get more creative in terms of what rebound packs look like.
Series 2 Summer
Run it Back players are coming, little to no correlation with existing RIB collection. We want Shaq and Kobe!
User Concerns
The team believes that the best way to stabilize market is to provide a great experience for collectors. Happy customers, healthy product.
Utility
Continues to be the top priority. We have seen this manifest itself in the form of in-person exclusive experiences.
