RE: Trying something new, tutorials and learning on the fly

Same here, it was a wonderful game when started, also we are now talking about crypto and blockchain, like when HS came out none of that was a thing (I mean the NFT part and the ownership of NFTs in game, ETH came out in 2017 with smart contracts and HS came out in 2013 with the first beta and went fully live in the next year I think)
I defo understand your view about the "problem" and idk, like it seems now that if a game it's not on the block-chain does not deserve to be played, I think we are still years away from having proper games on a block-chain with the ownership of your items (NFTs) [and by that I mean games that are actually enjoyable to play and not being played only because of some $ that can be made on it], we are getting there definitely but it's not going to be as fast as some people imagine, FOMO is just FOMO, then everything slows down and comes back to earth, so yes in your view it is a problem because you are in WEB3 and owning you asset is huge for you, but 99% of the world is still behind this shit and does not have a clue, so for them it is not a problem but just a normal game.
Blizzard is a business that makes money and brings a great player experience to the players (or at least they used to, I haven't played their games in ages so idk now!) so paying to buy some packs in a game that brings you endless hours of fun it's not a "problem" in my opinion, maybe yeah its lack of ownership is not cool for people like us, but normal people are fine buying shit that they don't own and this is not going to change as quick as we may want, it's just the way things are in a Capitalistic society run by Corporations. (All of this is IMHO)
We may be the first people that see this as a "problem" and hence we are shifting to WEB3 and P2E games with real ownership, but honestly 99% of the games out there look like shit and the good ones won't be out in just a year or 2, it takes time to make good stuff and we can see it with GU, how many years in alpha and beta?
Cheers :)
That is not what I meant. I still like many non-blockchain games. For example I regularly play League of Legends: Wild Rift. I often post about it on the Hive blockchain, so you can see it. If you also play it, then my username in the game is [HUN] Xplosive. You can add me as a friend.
Blockchain gaming is still a very new thing. I am sure that it will greatly develop in the upcoming years and decades. Maybe already existing games will also switch to the blockchain model in the future. We will see. But that is certain that Splinterlands is actually enjoyable. I am playing it since 2018.12.30. While nowadays I am probably (unnecessarily) overconcerned about the price of the cards, I still enjoy to play it. It is fun and entertaining to play. Especially with the different card abilities and game rulesets.
And they could use the blockchain technology to make more, while also providing the opportunity for their players to earn more. If executed properly, then this could be a win-win situation for everyone.
Of course all of this takes time.
Have a nice day and have a nice weekend.
All the best. Greetings from Hungary.
Thanks, I do agree with everything :)
I'm glad you have fun with Splinterlands, I forgot about it, and yeah it may be one of the few going in the right direction, I'm the weird one that does not like that game lol
Thanks and greeting to you too from London :)
