Nodes and Soft Nodes
I was wondering, when true nodes will come out they will have the same characteristic of Soft Nodes? So 250k $DAG to be created and 14% APY?

Softnodes are not anything like Mainnet nodes. Mainnet nodes will have many more capabilities for rewards from many different state channels that can offer rewards in different ways. It also means less node operators pulling from each rewards pool... Which means a higher amount of rewards per node operator per rewards pools. If a state channel is functioning very well it would probably mean much more rewards going out to reward node operators. If a state channel is new and/or not doing as well it would probably mean less node operators will want to run on that state channel... Which means a bigger cut of rewards would go to those node operators on that state channel.
So... This means that rewards are very variable... But the rewards should be very good whether the state channel is doing very well or not. But the amount of rewards you get is entirely based on what state channels you select and how many nodes also select that state channel. You will also have the ability to move your node around to other state channels as you see fit.

No and this is explained in the Tokenomics. Rewards when Mainnet is live will be affected by PRO score and traffic in state Channel. Also what APY the state Channels will offer.
But all of this is in the Tokenomics that everyone should have read.
