What’s up players,

In one of my previous posts, I already talked about the upcoming new Energy meter update in splinterlands ranked section which would replace the old ECR system ( Energy Capture Rate) and like you all, I was also very excited to see it come into existence. Today, when I opened my Splinterlands ranked play tab, within some seconds I got very happy because the update had already taken place and the new energy meter was sparkling bright in front of my eyes. It was glowing high to inform its presence and the team strategically put it at the centre and just below the Battle button so that you won’t miss reading the meter whenever hitting that battle tab. By the time I opened the game, the energy meter was already sitting at 47/50, so I quickly played some matches to decrease it by a bit. I hope that by now, all of you have watched and tested the new energy bar as well and if you are a player and not a bot owner, there’s no way that you won’t like this awesome new update.

With the old ECR bar, the SPS reward earning was directly proportional to the available ECR and thus, after playing a number of matches, we would have to wait for it to get recharged back into a healthy percentage again in order to earn more SPS from ranked win. But now with this new meter, we can just play without the headache of keeping an eye in the ECR meter, as the amount of SPS we earn wont depend upon the ECR health anymore. Yes, you can even just play all your 50 matches and even on the last match, the SPS rewards won’t get decreased because of the ECR rate. However, it takes 1 hour to recharge back 1 energy and if you lose all your energies, you cant play anymore and have to wait for a while before your energy meter can recharge at least 1 energy.

Now, some of us should be wandering that what will we do at the season end. Usually, players go on edge and play over actively during the last days of every season end in order to reach their goal tier or leaderboard position, or sometimes just to secure the next season chest. Well, the team has come out with a solution for this case and now we can use dec to buy energies and fill up our energy meter and play accordingly. The price to recharge the energy meter varies from tier to tier, where in bronze tier per energy costs only 1 dec but in diamond tier, per energy costs 150 dec and in champ, it’s whooping 500 dec per energy! However, players will be limited to buying only extra 50 energies per day so that they can prevent farming in lower leagues.

Well, according to me, the team has balanced the reward distribution very well here and for us players, the choices are weather to use a portion of your earnings back into game to play even more and reach your goal or just to play with only the amount of energy you get for free and without spending anything. On the other hand, through this new buy energy option, they have created a sink hole for dec which I think will help dec to reach it’s pegged value sooner. According to the official post, energies can be bought via DEC, DEC-B or credit tokens. In case the player buy energies using DEC or DEC-B tokens, the amount will be burned and if the player buy energy with credits, the team will burn equivalent amount of dec on behalf of that player.

The new energy system is very simple and effective and I think it will really help real players over bots. With the old ECR system, the bots could earn way more than human players. With bots, they can play all day all night by playing just 1 match and again recharge back the ECR to 100% before playing another one and thus earning the highest amount of rewards. But for us real players it’s impossible to sit and play all day night right? That’s why I liked this new update so much because it gives power to the real players.

I hope you liked this new energy update just like me and already enjoying playing with the new Energy system. Let me know your thoughts and opinions about this awesome new update in the comments below and I will be seeing you all in my next post.
