24 hours daily focus instead of 23 hours of getting a new daily quest. My problem here is that, eventually, you're going to have to pass the focus to the next day. 24 hours means that, even if you are at your PC, at the time it happens, you're still delaying the start of the new focus by a few seconds, probably a minute or 2. A bit more if you want to get a new focus. However, people have a life outside Splinterlands. No one's going to always be at their computer waiting for the quest to reset. Eventually, it's going to pass onto the following day. To me, the solution is simple, make the daily focus last 23 hours. That way, even when you have to delay it a few hours, you can recover those hours in the following days. Also, when it ends during downtime, you're forced to start the new focus later than you would otherwise. It would also be nice to claim your focus before the time is up, when you know you won't be playing anymore during that day. But this one is not a big deal, it would just be nice to have.

My experience, playing on Silver 1 and getting Silver rewards, is that it is impossible to get the full rewards on both the daily focus and on the season rewards, by playing normally. What do I mean, you ask? It means staying in the same league and playing enough every day that the ECR doesn't go too low, you're never gonna reach the max possible chests, even with a very high win rate. I'm not saying this is a bad thing. I think it might be intentional. The max possible rewards are high to cover for exceptions. If a player knows they won't be able to play for a few days, they might want to run their ECR very low and get as many rewards as possible before taking that little break from the game. A player buying/renting a lot of cards that puts them in a higher league, will much more easily reach a higher number of chests. In the following season, they will be back to earning fewer chests but from a higher league. I don't know if they want to tweak the numbers, but I believe they are the way they are to allow for these exceptions to work better. Players have to keep in mind that the max possible rewards are just not intended to be possible, especially day after day and season after season. If you look at the max 30 per day and max 150 per season and expect to come close to those, all the time, you're gonna be disappointed.

I also think that the Modern/Wild split is perfect for this new rewards system. I'm sad that it is taking a bit longer to implement but, when it comes, it will allow newer players to not play against some cards that are too expensive to buy or even rent and also have a more manageable number of cards to know and plan for.

I am very happy with these changes and I can personally say that the game is more fun now than before. The 2 things that I believe need change, shouldn't be too complicated to do and the team has acknowledged the possibility of not just having one Splinter per day.

It's bad timing on my part, or maybe it is good, to write this as they announce changes but I'll comment on those, as well.

I believe this is a good change. There's not much point to putting players in a higher/lower league for the daily focus, than the one they currently are in. I had not thought about this but it makes perfect sense.

Makes card ownership even better, although, I would personally prefer if they allowed the first starter card used to have a lower penalty. As a player who joined the game after Untamed was sold out, I can't really justify buying those cards, not when I can work on my Chaos Legion cards for a fraction of the cost. But it shouldn't impact me too often.

This one I'll have to actually try out for a while to see what's available and how it works. At first glance, it doesn't seem too necessary and it just makes getting the desired Daily Focus less likely.

This is a very good one. Instead of giving us multiple options for the Daily Focus, it's about every battle counting, with the Focus giving a bonus. I did not think about this solution but I do believe it's a smart one. Let's see if this does end up being implemented because the team says they are considering this change.

This doesn't have much to do with the rewards system and, ironically, I believe it would have been more important to implement during the old system, however, it's nice to have the option to rent for a whole season, without cancelation, and people have been asking for that, for a long time.

I see these as overall good changes. The ones I'm not sure about, it's because I'll need to try them out to see if it's better or not. I am still hoping for a change of the 24 hours rule to 23 hours.
