Happy Monday everyone and welcome to the my weekly HSBI giveaway for the Splinterlands community!
There was no news worth mentioning about Splinterlands this week either, but rumors and small teasers about the new expansion Conclave Arcana are piling up on X, Discord and other channels. I suspect we'll get an announcement here either this week or next. I'm already pretty excited about it and say that this expansion will be very successful. I can't explain this on the basis of any arguments, I just have a good feeling about Splinterlands. A lot of things are going in the right direction at the moment. Even if the stock and crypto market in general is falling sharply.
Answers to the last Question:
Last week's question was "Which ranked mode do you prefer to play: Wild or Modern?". This time, six people took part and answered the question. Let's have a look at some of your answers.
I prefer Modern because it's the one I have the cards for.
I have often read this answer or similar answers. If you already have the cards for Modern, it probably also makes sense to play Modern, as the rewards are sometimes higher here.
I would go with Modern as Wild needs the pass
Of course, this is also an aspect that should be taken into account. If you pay 2000 DEC for a pass every season, i.e. approximately every two weeks, the costs can quickly pile up and are not insignificant.
For me currently it is wild mode. I just have to much going in IRL to be checking in daily and playing all my battles. Plus recently my guild lost some key players so one one of our buildings got downgraded. So those people being around to talk with is a missing piece.
Doing a battle every hour of every day, so 24 battles a day, is sometimes a bit much, I agree. If you are looking for a new guild, you can contact “Landstreicher” if you like.
I prefer to play in Modern as I mainly have CL and REB cards, hoping Conclave Arcana will add to my rebellion deck and I can move up the leagues, do have a bot for wild though for when I can’t spend all my energy
As I already described, I am also hyped on Conclave Arcana and will buy one or the other card to stay competitive in Modern.
In fact, I can understand many of the arguments you have described and see them in a similar way. I personally prioritize Modern because that's where players play against players and not bots, and I buy my cards accordingly. However, I don't sell cards and am therefore also competitive in Wild mode. This is also necessary because I don't always manage to use up my energy. That's when my bot activates in wild mode.
And the Winner is...
