New Player Introduction Post

avatar

Hello Community,

@traciyork and @lovesniper let me know that I should write an Introduction Post as a New Player.

I am almost 40, German and I love Games since I got my tiny Hands connected with the C64 Competition Pro Joystick for the first Time.

I think I was like 5. Since then i never stopped loving Games and Connecting with People around it. My first PC the Pentium II didnt took to long to get my new Friend of Choice of course. I remember that I played Jagged Alliance until my Screen exploded (no Joke)

I spent most of my Lifetime in Multiplayer Games like the Battlefield Franchise mostly BF2 though.
But i also enjoy other Games since my Steam Library alone has more than 400 Titles 👌

I started my Journey in Crypto around 2014 but never really was into Crypto Games. In Fact I just learned about the Oppportunity itself a few Weeks ago and jumped right into Splinterlands.

Got me hooked up pretty fast

but sadly don´t have too much Buying Power. First Week or so I just kept playing between Novice and low Bronze League. It was a bit annoying as I started to feel like I can do whatever I want I can not Advance, But I think I got along a bit better with the Game in general. I just wish my DEC Ratio would go up faster-but since I think I saw a lot of confused Bots now that the Chaos Legion Packs got out I understand the very need of a System to prevent too much botting.

I finished my First real Season with not too Bad Rewards i think :)

Now that the new Season began I first got pushed very hard into lower Leagues. In fact i got as low as Bronze III. I think most of my Enemies were into Guilds and had like Gold Cards all over. Ok. Cards alone do not Win a Match I see - but Still it felt so Bad that I waited out a bit to see if Opponents get easier over Time.

Now I need to Rent out some nice Cards to try and Advance but even using Peakmonsters I have a hard Time finding Winning Combos.

But this is the Key to a Nice Game. Having to constantly think about How and What to Play Next.
This is why I love the Game even though im a Noob.
But I have high Hopes to Advance soon :)
According to my Profile I have 232 Wins out of 470 Games and my highest Winstreak consist of 9 Games.

If you like you can share some of your Strategies with me - that would be Awesome :)

Ps. I now own a Plot Land...this means I can´t Buy or Rent Cards for a While but i like to Speculate. Wish me Luck:)

Hi @vaporent - nice to see your intro post! I'm a lot little bit older than you, so my love of gaming happened the first time I ever held an Intellivision controller in my hand...😂

Sadly though, I haven't tried the awesomeness that is Splinterlands so I don't have any strategies to share. Best of luck to you though and again, welcome to Hive! 😊

Hi @vaporent and welcome to Hive from down under in Australia, I started on the old Atari with Pacman and can even remember the old Space Invader days LOL. I am pretty new here myself and am still stuck in Splinterlands bronze levels grinding away. I have read lots of different strategies for progressing in the Splinterlands community. I suppose its about finding the one that works for you.

I ended up with two accounts, more by accident than design but that does take more time. I believe consistency is the key. Not missing on a daily quest is good for learning and building but as you have a land plot, I think I should be getting tips off you!
Risingstar is another game that's easy to keep ticking away in the back ground too.

Welcome! It's an awesome place to be for sure.

Ah, Pentium. That's a name I haven't heard in a long time LOL. Love it!

Best thing you can do when you're on Hive on the social side is to get into lots of peoples posts, read them and leave some good comments. If you can do this consistently you can grow your audience and gain more traction as time goes on.

Hope to see you around!

PS Nice first season reward! Many people would love that for a reward hehe
