Struggling through Gold to get to Diamond? I wonder if we've battled, because that is exactly where I am at as well. All season long I struggle through Gold ranks and usually hit Diamond 1-2 days before season ends. My guild @acolytesofhelio have talked about the ranked play, how at season beginning its a slaughterhouse for anyone not renting as all those power players are set back. Near league end, however, the power players are all in higher Diamond/Champion ranks, which is how us little gold fishies are getting our diamonds at the very end.
but I wonder that if there were for example, a couple million people playing Splinterlands, does that mean that only a sliver of users will be able to compete at the top because they have a full deck from the early days?
Oh man, we need new ways to buy packs and soon. I'm able to struggle through to Diamonds because I was a semi-early investor able to secure a ton of cards from previous sets before the markets went kaboom. (it was earth shattering) So I was able to get me a Yodin, Llama, Kron, plus all the nice alpha cards that are handy to have. But new players, you pretty much have to use the rental aftermarket/card market to get anywhere.
I'd love to see new cards, and soon.
maybe. I don't like playing people I chat with here - as I nearly always lose :D
I have noticed the same at the start and this time, I progressed a bit faster (played more) than last season. This is only my third season playing, so I have a lot to learn of course.
New cards are on the way SOON supposedly. Soon in crypto though... ;D
LOL. Yeah no kidding, soon in crypto seems to be:
But Splinterlands is pretty solid imo. So I'm not too worried. Just hurry up already lol.
