Splinterlands: Missing The New Chaotic Experience
I pretty much love to talk about Splinterlands and this isn't because I am a seasoned player or an avid investor, this is because it is my first dive into play2earn. Truth is, Splinterlands is all about the strategy. Strategy with money, strategy with skills in-game, strategies with knowing what is viable and what isn't.
Recently, the new cards have come Into inception and some of these cards have amazing abilities, and they're cheap too, totally annihilating the purpose of the old cards and taking them off board. I was getting used to playing with the water Splinters before the release of chaos legion and when the chaos cards came in, everything changed.
Suddenly, you had these fancy cards with stunning abilities, incredible magic monsters with attack abilities and all, it's of course I've found it rather difficult to understand most of these new cards because I'd been away on other commitments. My former water monsters like the DJINN OSHANNUS can no longer withstand attacks from melee monsters especially the ones like the cursed windeku* with thorn abilities which has devastating attacks.
The Strategies Skills Money Inclination
One of the most stunning thing about splinterlands is that you don't even need to know how to play to win, it's a game where your resources can actually take you really far, however it is, every individual is bringing their A" game, their personal strategy to help them tweak the system to their advantages.
I've found out that being dropped to a lower league after every season can come with its advantages and disadvantages and after having not played for over two weeks, I felt like a whole new player, however, I'm always happy to dump the knowledge I had, or better still, revamp it and of course make better plans as well.
I've been studying some excellent death splinters and some of my opponents pull up with those deadly devils and sometimes, in one fell swoop, they take out my entire deck. What has this taught me? It's taught me that strategies counters strategies and most of the in-game skills we build overtime, comes from actually learning from others.
Adding 88k DEC
That said, strategies about the money aspect sells even better than the in-game skills. Most times on YouTube, I've seen videos with titles on how to do better, especially with limited resources, a lot of people would be actually interested because it's business: everyone wants to have more for owning less
These past few days, I've actually taken to buying DEC, firstly because I have SPS goals, you can actually say I'm obsessed with SPS, why not? For now, I love the fact that I can stake it and earn a voucher at least up until vouchers are no longer airdropped for having SPS. I'm wondering what would become the incentive to actually staking SPS if the voucher airdrop came to an end.
However, I put in that money and bought an extra 88k DEC, so my SPS airdrop flew from 5 to 14 per day, but, this isn't the end goal for my Dec which is at 136K currently, I've been away for quite a while now, but it feels like credit is the the new thing, anyone knows why credits are now desired all of a sudden?
My other aim is to buy myself more cards and of course compete, however for now, I just want to get to SPS before I decide if to buy cards, credits for chaos legion or maybe, just read some more posts and watch more videos to actually see or know more.
One thing is, missing out a day on splinterlands comes with a lot, the game is dynamic, changes with every move and this is definitely exciting and scary at the same time. The games have taken an exciting new look, new players basically needs to play their way in, while people who already had skin in the game, would just relax, put out their decks for rents and actually earn.
That said, I feel some people are already bored with the whole game process, while money is the main motivation for them, they tend to drift away into boredom and one thing is, I love the way, the game always comes back rather revamped, and these new cards are a perfect example.
2022: More & More Games
That said, I'd fully like to try out other games from January, while fully concentrating on splinterlands, I believe its influence on people, the impact and the growth might make a lot of people anticipate the release of Ragnarök, the NFT airdrop and all, overall, giving value and essence to the entire blockchain in general.
2022 should be a year of diversification, and I'm challenging my pals like @starstrings01 and @k-banti to see 2022 as a year of gaming and diversification. @nathanmars said if he'd built with splinterlands in 2019 rather than dtube that he might have probably been set for life.
Anyway, the splinterlands ship hasn't sailed yet, I believe we've all come to terms with the exposure splinterlands brought to hive in general, the opportunities with other games would come, I guess everyone would be taking their time.

Nice. So you also play the splinterland game?
Yeah, started recently, like 3 months now.

Wao. That's nice. So how has it been since you started. Like I mean your experience. I also want to play it but my busy schedule school won't allow me
You basically need the time and resources to actually learn and play, if you're an excellent multi-tasker then you can.

I think I am . But you know the chance can't come like that everyday.. something you have the time and sometimes you won't at all..
Knowing you like Water Splinter and using DJINN OSHANNUS to destroy opponents, that opportunity is still there if one has the Water magic summoner with +1 magic.
Consider looking at the new Earth Summoner with +1 magic, it gives similar ability to what the Water summoner has.
The Chaos Legion cards got me slightly disorganized in terms of strategy, and it's mostly likely for everyone.
One has to keep restrategizing till a better competitive lineup is achieved now.
The credits are basically for buying the current second phase of the Chaos Legion packs.

Yeah, I know about that, it's just that i've been away for two weeks of playing and I nearly left the bronze league but I couldn't due to the collection power I needed, but now, i've got enough DEC to get cards and also collect more SPS overtime, I was left rather stunned with the new cards, overall i've noticed that death and earth Splinters have more potent cards, so i'll be biding my time.
Thanks a whole lot again. Phew,! The struggle is real.

Splinterlands here and there, I've actually come across this some months ago and the issue of being a game discouraged me, because I'm not so good in anything game, but since you said you don't have to know how to play to win but the other way round.
Well it will be good to if I decide to do , but requires times if not mistaken. But mere looking at the gaming system, it look complex to me... lol
Don't worry, you'll also get to play, it's challenging and I know you're lazy normal normal hahaha. But we will run it.

Hehehehe, did you say I'm lazy??
She's not lazy, I will surprise you one day...lol
Wow that is a nice amount you added. You are buying the new cards and playing around with them but I am having a rough time using the starter deck and untamed/rewards. So I can't wait until the general sale to increase my deck combinations.

A lot of people are having the same issue as you, I guess I've come to understand that sometimes we need to just make do with what is viable if the resources isn't much.

I bought some Chaos Legion packs.
It doesn't make sense for me to play, because the barrier of entry ist to high. I would have to invest more, just to be able to get dec rewards. ...like 100$ investment just to get a foot in the door.
It's probably why the game is quite challenging for new starters, i've invested about 700$ and I'm still stuck in the bronze league, this might be partially my fault, but my point is, the game is competitive in nature and a lot of people ba throwing in a lot of money to massively make returns and you know, the more the people, the more crazy the rules gets. I think keep buying the packs, opening them would be rewarding.
135k dec is great and I love the fact that you still playing. I have stop for the main time, waiting patiently for January to come so that I can add a lot of cards to my deck.

I will be using part of the DEC to actually buy cards in January as well, I thinking for now, I'll just use the DEC to earn some more SPS while it lasts.
