Survival Mode is finally Live:
Survival Mode is now availed for everyone to play, this is a new mode where you can use any card Modern or Wild but when a card is defeated in survival mode, it will be unusable elsewhere until the cooldown period is over or the season ends.
You can only earn SPS in this mode it seams that you will not earn anything until past the 200 rating for now, but as you going up in rating the earnings are pretty huge, for example with less than 2000 rating you can earn more than 60 SPS per battle.
The one with the highest rating (2940) is earning 168 sps per battle.
This is because of very few people are playing it.
All cards are availed to use in survival mode by default but you can unflag the ones you don´t want to use there, only seasonal rentals can be used on survival mode
Review of Survival Mode first days Goals Accomplish.
New modes are absolute necessary for cards games specially for one like Splinterlands, however this is not a mode for everyone, currently there is very few people playing it , even though it is obviously better having than not if we only see as a new mode, however the real intention of Survival Mode or at least as I see it, is to solve the biggest problem Splinterlands have the oversaturated card market, and yes so far it has deliver even with just a few people playing it , the Seasonal rental market has increases their demand and price by a lot, even I have manage to put on rent lots of cards that you normally could not rent on the normal market as they will go for the minimum 1 DEC.
If this continue people will star to put their cards for rent from the normal market to the seasonal , this will reduce the current seasonal premium price but will increases the normal market one, after that even the sell price should increase. We are to early to tell if the problem will be complete solve with this, it sounds quite difficult as the problem is too big but at least is already helping to solve it and that is a win.
Now lets hope we keep getting new modes, currently Splinterlands really need one that can be playing for most players.
Leaderboard Updates
This is a pretty good change overall , the DEC leaderboards has been change for Glint, this you decrease DEC Inflation and it should final star to increases in value(lets hope) however it could be a controversial subject specially for the ones that was earning the old DEC leaderboards prices as they will probably prefer the DEC over the Glint since Glint in harder to monetize, however it is a change for the best that should happen very long ago, we shouldn´t be printing DEC like this if we want it to increases in price.
New Glint Leaderboards prices:
Abuses
Seams that no one are doing abuses yet but I think there are some ways to do it, like with the surrender option, bots of the same person could just surrender between them to boost one or more accounts. It can even be done manually, since now you can see the players name. Will be a good idea if the possible problems are addressed before it happens and put the ecosystem in a bad spot.
I made a post several months ago that show others possible ways of abuse:
