Hello to any of my readers and "Dear (weekly) Diary" 😜
It's been quite a week with prices of BTC sliding and dragging everything along with it. That means HIVE, SPS and DEC have all been affected significantly. I do feel that these volatile fluctuations are part of the game and it'll all look much better if we take a long term view of things. So let's not worry too much about it and just enjoy Splinterlands as a game.
On the Splinterlands dev side of the game, it has been really quiet to be honest. There have been no major announcements that affects Splinterlands and it's thus a rather "peaceful" week. One interesting development is about a partnership with another game company in a game called Chibi Dinos. That sounds interesting, even if it's not directly related to Splinterlands. 🤔🦖
But before I go into detail...
A brief introduction before I start though...
Good Day to all Splinterlands players! (and people of HIVE! 😜) I've made it a point to blog about my weekly progress and experiences in Splinterlands/HIVE in my "weekly diary". Splinterlands & HIVE are what I'd consider to be my entry point into the World of Crypto, and I intend to use this as a means to look back on the path I've taken in the years ahead.⏳⏳⏳
This is now the 77th consecutive week writing in my Diary (of sorts) detailing my Splinterlands Journey ever since I started this game. I talk about what has gone on my personal Splinterlands playing experience, my weekly Guild Brawl Reports, and also any Splinterlands ingame news. 🎉🥳🎊
No week goes by in Splinterlands without some news event happening though. And here's my pick of some of the most interesting ones in my opinion. 📰📰📰
🗺️🧳✈️Updates on my Splinterlands Journey🗺️🧳✈️
There has seriously been nothing new that popped up this past week, and therefore, Splinterlands has basically been all about just grinding for the daily quests and hopefully getting a lucky jackpot or so. (unfortunately, I had no such luck 😅)
The End of Season is coming really soon in about a day though, so activity will pick up over the next 24 hours. I will have to make some preparations for a quick push up the leagues and attempt to finish as high as possible with the maximum number of End of Season reward chests. Let's hope I get lucky too with those chests. 🤞🏻🍀
My quest for more Gold Foil Legendary cards from my rewards chests continues on ("Greed is Good!" 😈). It's a 0.008% chance, at base level, to pull a legendary gold foil, in case you were wondering 😉. Here's to more jackpot strikes in the future (i hope) 🤞🏻🍀🤞🏻🍀🤞🏻🍀.
I have not managed to get any new Nightmare packs to replace all those I've sold. I will wait patiently to get them at the price I want. 🤑
⚔️🛡️Weekly Guild Brawls Report⚔️🛡️
With the end of the week comes my latest Splinterlands Guild Brawl Report for "PIZZA 2 The Deep Dish" too. 🍕⚔️🛡️
I managed to finally acquire the 2k MERITS required for yet another Gladius Case. However, the opening results were pretty disappointing. It was just the bare minimum of 1 Rare and 4 Commons, with no gold foils at all. 😭
🤞🏻🍀🤞🏻🍀🤞🏻🍀 Fingers crossed for a Gold Foil (Legendary!!!) I hope 🤣🤑 for my future Gladius packs. (or any packs/rewards chest for that matter 😉)
My main regularly picks up the ✨🏅✨Gold Foil Chaos Legion Only Fray no.12✨🏅✨ while my alt takes up the ✨🏅✨Wild Novice League Fray no. 2✨🏅✨ every week.
Both my main and alt accounts performed decently enough with them having identical win/loss rates of 7-1.
PIZZA 2 Guild managed to finish in 4th place! 🏆🏆🏆
All our brawlers who participated actually achieved very good win rates, so it was a bit of a surprise that we missed out on a podium spot by 1 position. In fact, it can be seen that our number of losses were pretty low overall. All I can say is that our guild is now facing a severe lack of players who actively participate in brawls. That is affecting our overall ranks no matter how much of an individual each person puts in.
Great Job from everyone who took part in the Guild Brawls! I'm proud of you all! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
On a sidenote, we've still got some unfilled frays too so...
BTW, PIZZA 2 is recruiting 😜 and looking for active players who can commit to attending every single guild brawl. Do hop into the PIZZA DISCORD if anyone is interested (or knows someone who is).
🏆💰🎁Splinterlands News🏆💰🎁
This is quite an interesting development. It seems like this game Chibi Dinos (which I have honestly not heard of before) has come to Splinterlands for their expertise in building games on Web3.
Having a similar partnership with MLSPA in the form of building the Genesis League Goals game, Splinterlands will thus take that experience and build a completely new platform Invennium.
My interpretation is that Invennium will be akin to the Unity Engine, except for the Web3 world. This could be really big if Splinterlands manages to pull this off. The Unity Engine is huge and a large number of game developers build on that engine instead of starting their own from scratch. If Splinterlands manages to replicate this for the metaverse, it could easily turn the entire company into major player in the gaming industry! 😱🤑
I do not know the implications for Splinterlands, but the success of anything related is likely to have trickle down effects. So should we be excited? This could mean possible airdrops from SPS stakes again. With the SPS prices at all time lows, this could be a good time to start accumulating even more.
Weekly Riftwatchers Sales Tracker
Well, CHAOS LEGION IS ALL SOLD OUT! So the next most logical thing to track next are the sales of Riftwatchers.
1,024,023 packs have been sold (as of the writing of my post) out of a total supply of 3 million. There's still almost 500k to the next count of 1.5 million packs sold before we get the next Legendary Riftwatchers Airdrop card. 🚀📈🤑
