SplinterGlossary: Need Some Feedback

avatar

With the re-addition of the edit functionality for the Leofinance long-form content, my work on SplinterGlossary could resume.

I lost the momentum in the meantime, so it would take a while to get back into the rhythm.

But before I do... I need some feedback to gather the community's impressions on this.

Splinterlands was and still is massive on Hive and in the crypto world too.

Despite being in a period of lower enthusiasm for the platform, I believe that will come back in the bull market.

I'd like to add here the final impressions of a top gamer like @edicted on Diablo IV, the last in the very popular series from Blizzard. In the end, he was disappointed and he ranted out as to why.

In Splinterlands, a big topic is bots. So, what happened in Diablo IV? I don't know if players started to use automated bots yet, but Blizzard surely transformed human players into bots to take the shorter route on leveling up, as edicted described. Yes, there were some rewards for the first 1000 accounts who reach level 100 in hardcore mode, but otherwise there are no real-value rewards involved and people still act as bots, grinding the same low levels that offer better compounded rewards at a low risk. Hmm, seems like something Splinterlands solved a while back? Or maybe farming low-level leagues is still going on, it is profitable, and I don't know about it.

Anyway, edicted sees companies like Blizzard as sticking to their old business model and apparently unable to innovate it. And he thinks they simply can't compete with Web3 games on the long run, something I agree with.

So, Splinterlands is many iterations ahead in this Web3 gaming world. At some point, things will align even more than they do now.

When @taskmaster4450 proposed the idea to have SplinterGlossary started on the same model as LeoGlossary and under its umbrella, enthusiasm was still very high for Splinterlands and it could have been a magnet to attract new eyeballs and search engine results to Leofinance. Even though SplinterGlossary is completely different from the overall theme of LeoGlossary, and, at the time, on Leofinance, we started it and it grew nicely.

While the enthusiasm on Splinterlands is not as high right now, I believe as we advance in the bull market, with a couple new iterations on features and products almost completed, things can be back up. But that's subjective and my opinion.

So, I guess what I'm asking you is: should I continue adding to and updating SplinterGlossary? Does it help Leofinance? Does it help Splinterlands players or potentially add new ones?

I am usually using Fandom wiki. I didnt know how you even accessed the Splinter Glossary until now. It could be useful in the future if people can find it and use it easily.

Well... it's built on Leofinance, to help this ecosystem. But that doesn't help much with the discovery or flexibility of the content.

Yeah, I saw it is very comprehensive and could be useful.

I think the Glossary does help LeoFinance and I use the SplinterGlossary quite a bit for my own posts. I think it will help people and I think it will help LeoFinance. It all adds up but it will take time before that actually happens.

Thanks for your feedback, JFang. Especially important since you are a user of SplinterGlossary.

For content creators for Splinterlands, the SplinterGlossary remains useful. In my case, 03 May was the last time I published a Splinterlands' article. In my writing, I tend to include other Hive front-ends, which seems to me curators don't like. Not sure if the dev team shares such a view of the exclusivity of articles submitted for the weekly challenges.

Wow, two months since your last Splinterlands post!

I don't participate in the weekly challenges, and I don't know if it's the fact that I post from other interfaces (than Splintertalk) or the quality of my Splinterlands posts is considered to be lacking, but I don't remember being voted by their account in recent history.

So, yeah, if you received their votes in the past, you should try to analyze what changed so that you don't receive them anymore.

They still upvoted my post that time but the curator plainly advised me that the next time I would write, the content should exclusively be about Splinterlands.

Ah, I was told that too long time ago... To be on Hive and expecting exclusivity, that's like not really understanding this space and what is being built...

That is why I am not sure if it is just the opinion of the curator or if such an idea is also emphasized by the creators of Splinterlands.
