RE: Advance notice - upcoming hardcore gaming comp. Free entry - 100 steem in prizes, no resteem required.
Yes, it's almost another layer of gamification. I think most people will just do the best they can, rather than watching others. The character screen we can see doesn't actually display total xp, just their level, so I couldn't rank them according to xp without requiring screenshots.
I'd then need the screenshots to come in simultaneously, so nobody gets an advantage.
Too many ways it could go wrong.
Why aren't you, 'that type of gamer'? It's a great, fun game; and it's free.
Maybe give it a download and have a try :)
Well, first of all, I tend to be pretty bad at it, that kind of makes it a bit more difficult to enjoy complex games with steeper learning curves. The second component is that there are other types of games that I tend to prefer. I really enjoy playing games like Pro Evolution Soccer (that might be viewed as lame or too casual for hardcore gamers) so if I manage to set aside some time for gaming, I usually prefer to spend it on that. To put it in perspective, I still haven't played a single minute of PES in 2018 yet and I have an unfinished season saved that I'm eager to finish, so I don't want to risk falling in love with yet another game and not have the time to play it as much as I'd want.
Still, I suspect now that we've talked about it, curiosity will take the better of me and I'll try it sooner or later ;)
Doesn't hurt to try new things, as comforting as the old ones can be.
If we get good engagement, I might run more comps with subsequent new league rollouts.
Perhaps look at some of @holoz0r's dtube gameplay clips to see what it's like.
