Hi guys,
This is an entry to the weekly splinterlands social media challenge. For people who might not know what this challenge is about; it is a contest from spl that allows you to talk about anything spl from battles to talking about things that have to do with spl.
Today I won't be talking about a battle but rather the glint shop.The glint shop is a new addition to spl after the overhaul after the season ended last 2 seasons. When it was announced that some changes were coming to spl I was one of the people who were disappointed. I have my reasons and I feel like they are valid even if one thinks they are not.
I've not been playing spl for a very long time; to put this into context am less than a year old on spl and since joining there has been a lot of changes to gameplay and the gameplay dynamics. Some of the changes have been pretty interesting for me to witness but I didn't think there will come a day when the daily focus chest and season focus chest will be taken out of the dynamics.
All though spl is play to earn game, the excitement of having to wait a whole day to see what you earned from your daily focus was always an ideal way to start my day. Being in the bigger leagues meant that you had bigger hopes to earning bigger rewards from your focus chest. Apart from the daily focus, having to wait14 days to see what you accumulated from the season chests was also exciting.
For me, a game should have that mystery to it and removing all that can spoil the fun it has for some people. I think the reason why am complaining so much about the removal of the chests is because of the removal of sps from the daily and season chests. If you were a player before this upgrade you'll know that for players on the diamond league upwards were always excited when they opened their chests cause you could never tell when your lucky day will be; the day that you'll get those big sps bags.
Even though it has been added to the win per game I still think that element of excitement for the chests has been defeated.
Talking about the sps per win I think its good right now. For now I get a little over 0.3 sps per win in the wild league in gold league. If I am able to win about 35 games per day that leaves me with about 10.5 sps per day and then if i am consistent that will be 315 per month and remember the higher I go the better the reward. Am not saying one couldn't have earned this from the daily and seasonal chests but it was kind of rare getting that much. So looking at it from a compound way then its actually a good change.
Now the glint shop has a lot of new additions and the main focus is the cards draw. For a common draw all you need is as low as 100 glint but as you go for higher draws the amount of glint needed is higher.
For a rare draw you'll need 500 glint. for a epic draw 5000 glint and for a legendry draw you'll need 25,000 glint.
For random draw collection you'll basically need about 150 - 5000 glint to achieve those draws. You can also shop for resources like merits, energy and potions.
There are a lot of nice things about the glint shop and one will love it if he is not already used to the old format. But even if you're used to the old format you'll need time and effort to get used to this new format which I hope will not be revamped any time soon.
