Splinterlands Recent News: Contextual Tooltips for New Players, Affiliate Program Reworked, New Voucher Shop Card (Dollar Cost Calculation) + My Partial Seasonal Results

Yesterday, December 10, 2024 Splinterlands implemented new changes and new features which are listed in the Splinterlands Release Notes section.

The most useful and interesting change in my opinion is the addition of Contextual Tooltips in the game stages that will help new players understand the game dynamics more quickly.

In fact, in the SETTINGS->NOTIFICATIONS section you can enable/disable/reset the NEW PLAYER TIPS.

In contextual tooltips you can also click on the highlighted parts that direct you to pages that explain the highlighted term in detail.

image.png

One of the aspects that I consider very important in games is the level of user friendliness and with these tooltips Splinterlands has definitely improved this aspect! Well Done!

The main pages of the two formats in the Ranked Play section have been changed with new backgrounds and I like both backgrounds although I particularly like the background of the Modern Format which is also my favorite game format because in the Modern Format no bots and battle helpers are allowed but only human players.

The other change regards the Affiliate Program which undergoes a reset and restart becoming the new Ambassador Program.

Within the SHOP->EXCLUSIVE section is a new card that can only be purchased using VOUCHERS.

image.png

Instead of Mana Warden, which is now only purchasable in the cards market, there is Ulfga the Blighted.

image.png

Ulfga the Blighted is a legendary Promo card of the Dragon element with no attack that cannot acquire attack points when placed adjacent to a card with the Weapon Training ability because it has the Untrainable (dis)ability.

image.png

It is the only card on Splinterlands to have the Poison Burst ability that it acquires starting at second level.

image.png

The cost of 1 BCX is 1500 VOUCHER.
Purchasing 25 cards in a single transaction allows you to receive a guaranteed Gold Foil card.

image.png

On September 3, 2024, when Mana Warden was purchasable I calculated the purchase cost in dollars and today I did the same calculation for Ulfga the Blighted.

Today Dec. 11 1 VOUCHER has a market value (Lowest Ask) = 0.04499998 SWAP.HIVE = 0.01489499$

image.png

Based on the current value of the VOUCHER token on Hive Engine:

  • Ulfga the Blighted of level 1 costs $22.34
  • Ulfga the Blighted of level 4 (max level) costs 245.76$

image.png

In my opinion Ulfga the Blighted is an interesting card but its cost is too high in relation to the cost of other cards that I consider more versatile and more useful in battle.

Also, those who have a lot of vouchers will probably buy multiple copies of this card and choosing to buy Ulfga the Blighted later on the market from other players might be the more convenient choice (this is my personal assessment and it is not certain that this will happen).

Ulfga the Blighted would be useful for me in battle but:

  • I don't have 1500 VOUCHERS in my in-game wallet.
  • it would not increase my win rate by much

For these two reasons, I will continue to accumulate VOUCHER while waiting for a card that I will like more.

I will end this post by showing my partial game results in the current season which will end in 3 days and 15 minutes.

image.png

In the Modern Format I have a rating = 2900 and am in the Diamond III league.
I have also accumulated more than 100K GLINT but my goal is to accumulate at least 150K GLINT before the end of the season.
I will also try to get at least in the Diamond I league.

image.png

In Modern Format I play manually and have a lot of fun choosing cards to use in battle against other human players like me.
If you click on the next link you can see the most recent battle I played in Modern Format.

In the Wild Format there are a lot of bots and even though I have Beta and Untamed cards that can be used in this format I have no incentive to play manually because I only have fun if I know I am playing against human players like me.

For this reason at the beginning of the season I used a bot for the first time.

I spent 33 SWAP.HIVE to buy XBOTLITE and spent 2000 DEC to buy the Wild Pass and delegated my Beta and Untamed cards to @libertygame27 (my curation account for SPT tokens).

In the Wild Format using XBOT I started in the Diamond II league and dropped down to the GOLD III league.

image.png

After 11 sessions and 290 battles I earned:

  • 77.38 SPS
  • 27585 GLINTS

image.png

I will wait until the end of the season to make evaluations and considerations but so far the results of my first test in using a bot have not been very positive.

I hope I have given you useful information and some interesting thoughts and thank you for taking the time to read this post :)

Le novità recenti su Splinterlands: Contextual Tooltips per i nuovi giocatori, Nuovo Programma Ambasciatori, Nuova Carta acquistabile con i VOUCHER + I miei risultati stagionali parziali

dividerHive2.png

Ieri 10 dicembre 2024 Splinterlands ha implementato nuove modifiche e nuove funzionalità che sono elencate nella sezione Splinterlands Release Notes.

image.png
Screenshot from: https://docs.splinterlands.com/platform/release-notes/2024

La modifica più utile e interessante è secondo me l'aggiunta dei Contextual Tooltips nelle fasi di gioco che aiuteranno i nuovi giocatori a comprendere più velocemente le dinamiche di gioco.

Infatti nella sezione SETTINGS->NOTIFICATIONS è possibile abilitare/disabilitare/resettare i NEW PLAYER TIPS.

image.png
Screenshot from: https://splinterlands.com/user/settings-notification

Nei contextual tooltips è possibile anche cliccare sulle parti evidenziate che indirizzano alle pagine che spiegano in dettaglio il termine evidenziato.

image.png

Uno degli aspetti che considero molto importante nei giochi è il livello di user friendliness e con questi tooltips Splinterlands ha decisamente migliorato questo aspetto! Ben Fatto!

image.png

image.png

image.png

image.png

Le pagine principali dei due formati nella sezione Ranked Play sono state cambiate con nuovi sfondi e mi piacciono entrambi gli sfondi anche se mi piace in particolare lo sfondo del Modern Format che è anche il mio formato di gioco preferito perchè nel Modern Format non sono consentiti bots e battle helpers ma solo giocatori umani.

image.png

image.png

L'altra novità riguarda l'Affiliate Program che subisce un reset e una ripartenza diventando il nuovo Ambassador Program.

image.png
Screenshot from: https://docs.splinterlands.com/platform/release-notes/2024

All'interno della sezione SHOP->EXCLUSIVE c'è una nuova carta acquistabile unicamente utilizzando i VOUCHER.

image.png

Al posto di Mana Warden, che adesso è acquistabile solo nel cards market, c'è Ulfga the Blighted.

image.png

Ulfga the Blighted è una carta leggendaria Promo dell'elemento Dragone senza attacco che non può acquisire punti di attacco se posizionata adiacente ad una carta con la l'abilità Weapon Training perchè ha la (dis)abilità Untrainable

image.png

E' l'unica carta su Splinterlands ad avere l'abilità Poison Burst che acquisisce a partire dal secondo livello.

image.png

Il costo di 1 BCX è di 1500 VOUCHER.
Acquistare 25 carte in un'unica transazione permette di ricevere una carta Gold Foil garantita.

image.png

Il 3 settembre 2024, quando era acquistabile Mana Warden ho calcolato il costo di acquisto in dollari e oggi ho fatto lo stesso calcolo per Ulfga the Blighted.

Oggi 11 dicembre 1 VOUCHER ha un valore di mercato (Lowest Ask) = 0.04499998 SWAP.HIVE = 0.01489499$

image.png

In base al valore attuale del token VOUCHER su Hive Engine:

  • Ulfga the Blighted di livello 1 costa 22.34$
  • Ulfga the Blighted di livello 4 (max level) costa 245.76$

image.png

Secondo me Ulfga the Blighted è una carta interessante ma il suo costo è troppo alto in rapporto al costo di altre carte che considero più versatili e più utili in battaglia.

Inoltre chi ha tanti voucher probabilmente acquisterà più copie di questa carta e scegliere di acquistare Ulfga the Blighted in un secondo momento sul mercato da altri giocatori potrebbe essere la scelta più conveniente (è la mia personale valutazione e non è detto che questo succederà).

Ulfga the Blighted sarebbe per me utile in battaglia ma:

  • non ho 1500 VOUCHER nel mio in-game wallet
  • non aumenterebbe di molto il mio win rate

Per queste due motivazioni continuerò ad accumulare VOUCHER aspettando una carta che mi piacerà di più.

Concludo questo post mostrando i miei risultati di gioco parziali nella stagione in corso che terminerà tra 3 giorni e 15 minuti.

image.png

Nel Modern Format ho un punteggio di rating = 2900 e sono nella lega Diamond III.
Ho anche accumulato più di 100K GLINT ma il mio obiettivo è di accumulare almeno 150K GLINT prima della fine della stagione.
Cercherò anche di arrivare almeno nella lega Diamond I.

image.png

Nel Modern Format gioco manualmente e mi diverto molto a scegliere le carte da usare in battaglia contro altri giocatori umani come me.
Se clicchi sul prossimo link puoi vedere la battaglia più recente che ho giocato nel Modern Format.

View this Battle -> Battle Link

Nel Wild Format ci sono tanti bots e anche se ho carte Beta e Untamed utilizzabili in questo formato non ho nessun incentivo a giocare manualmente perchè mi diverto solo se so di giocare contro giocatori umani come me.

Per questo motivo ad inizio stagione ho usato per la prima volta un bot.

Ho speso 33 SWAP.HIVE per acquistare XBOTLITE e ho speso 2000 DEC per acquistare il Wild Pass e ho delegato le mie carte Beta e Untamed a @libertygame27 (il mio curation account per i token SPT).

Nel Wild Format utilizzando XBOT sono partito dalla lega Diamond II e sono sceso in lega GOLD III.

image.png

Dopo 11 sessioni e 290 battles ho guadagnato:

  • 77.38 SPS
  • 27585 GLINT

image.png

Aspetterò la fine della stagione per fare valutazioni e considerazioni ma fino ad ora i risultati del mio primo test nell'usare un bot non sono stati molto positivi.

Spero di averti dato informazioni utili e qualche spunto di riflessione interessante e ti ringrazio per aver dedicato il tuo tempo alla lettura di questo post :)

Grazie mille per il tuo supporto

How the heck did a proposal pass that removed our already attained sign ups. That is a big fumble, we can't expect any serious affiliates to put work in to get sign ups with the reality of one day they can be removed. Not a good look at all.

Yes I agree on that point and I would not have made that choice also because I don't see much use in resetting a membership system, modifying it yes but resetting it generates dissatisfaction

I am fine with the changes in regards to making things easier for new users, but I don't like the changes to the referral rewards. I don't see a lot of people liking it even if it helps them earn Glint when DEC/merits are more useful to people.

I fully agree with your thinking.
contextual tooltips are a nice and useful addition
Resetting the referral program is not a good idea because it generates dissatisfaction

Ulfga the Blighted of level 4 (max level) costs 245.76$

This would probably be beneficial to people who have been accumulating vouchers for a very long time. However, this is a lot of money if you ask me. I don't know how many people will be getting this card. It's a amazing card, but 1500 voucher for one BCX is a whole lot

Yes, I agree and I think the cost in VOUCHER is too high and in fact Mana Warden costs less now in the market than before in the shop

What could be the reason why mana warden now cost less?

LEO Power Up Day - December 15, 2024

Since things have changed, people have become very interested in the game again and they are now playing it themselves and telling their friends about it and in no time we will see. That their prices will go up a lot.

User friendly games like Splinterlands tend to have more players
I like that!
