Season, Reward and Changes

This is one of the most tedious Splinterlands seasons I've had in a long time. I still managed to reach 60 loot chests for the season and with a couple of hours to go, I could add a little bit on top of that number.

I was hoping that I'd end the season with a couple more chests than I got last season but I didn't make it.

In any case, the current play and earn system used in Splinterlands ensures that participants will always earn something for their time. Despite my lack of activity, I've still pulled out decent rewards from my daily focus.

Next season, I'm going to try to be more active than I was this season. I don't think I can do worse than 60 chests anyway.

Been getting packs

Over the course of the season, the best reward I've received has been Chaos Legion packs that I've been opening in my wife's account.

I was previously opening packs and splitting the cards between my account and Seed project. Since I started receiving more packs in reward chests, I started accumulating packs instead.

Thanks to my arrangement with Seed project, all I have to do is wait till I have a certain amount of Chaos Legion packs, send a certain amount for Seed project and then send the remaining to my wife's account.

Anyway, the monsters in the packs I open with my wife's account have been underwhelming. However, I have to do what I have to do to get ahead.

Changes on the way

As discussed in the past, Splinterlands is in an advanced stage of introducing the modern and wild reward formats.

Basically, most of the new monsters including all the Chaos Legion packs and a couple of promo cards will fall into the Modern category. The older monsters from Alpha, Beta and maybe Untamed collection will fall into the wild category.

The plan is to create a level playing field between new and old players. According to the publication by Splinterlands, the change should make it easier for new players to compete in the game.

We expect newer players will benefit from playing in the Modern format, as they won't have to compete against older cards which may be difficult to acquire due to their scarcity. Thus they may find a fairer, more level playing field, where truly skilled players have better chances of rising to the top.

Players that stay on the wild side will be able to use every single edition of monster in battle, including the newer ones.

As a player, you now have to start figuring out how you intend to navigate this change. Will you make adjustments in your deck that enable you to participate in modern or can you slug it out with the advanced players that will be on the wild side?

Keep in mind that the collection power of each monster remains the same but on the modern side, the collection power threshold for each league cadre is half of the norm. So moving to the modern side could present an opportunity to get to higher leagues with lower investment than normally required.

I'm going to give it a good thought before making any decision. I have some trusty wild monsters that have serious potential and to be honest, I'm also not completely sold on the ability of some of the newer monsters. Time will tell.
