RE: Upcoming Changes & Downtime

in #splinterlands5 years ago

Additionally, we are investigating whether there should be changes to Novice/Kobold tournaments to encourage newer players to participate and we welcome feedback and suggestions on what changes, if any, should be made.

We also have many other more involved changes to the tournament system in the works, including new "allowed cards" options, and new formats, and we will keep the community updated on our progress with those as they get closer to being ready for release.

This sounds promising and a good way to expand the tournament scene, stop the abuse of it and hopefully try to get more new players into it. Novice/ Kobold Tournaments could be restricted to the Silver and below ranks unless there are not enough players joining them to make a successful tournament.

Sort:  

Another suggestion: Novice / Kobold Tournaments have cards as prizes, maybe lvl 1 summoner cards because they are notoriously difficult to obtain and accumulate when first starting out.

I like this idea. The lack of summoners has been the biggest hindrance for me.

Same here!! I barely got the beta rares to at least level 6 before they really started becoming unobtainable in the numbers I still need them. Having to drop hundreds more dollars just to be able to finish upgrading playing cards makes it feel like I'm not really going to advance any farther than I have.

On another topic, @yabbapmatt, how long before we start seeing other variations or entirely different games we can use these for? I recently thought it might be nice if there were a version in which the player chooses two teams at the start and replacements slide into play as positions open up. Or tag team, so every card tags out when it takes damage. I also think there's a very powerful Dungeon Master tool buried in here, too, but that's a whole other thing.
