Oh My GODS!

Time flies when others are having fun. This month I took some time to have a bit of fun myself and I do notice that although I still play daily itΒ΄s easier to leave the Gods alone for a day or two.


Eighteen months, it has been eighteen months since I started. That is a hell of a long time, and trust me dudes and dudettes do not play for the money. ItΒ΄s play to earn, not play to pay your bills.


After a busy weekend, I came back and clicked the earned fragments button which I had not touched in a while to see what I could claim. I always claim before writing this post so that I can give the update in "Show Me The Money".

It all looked good for the first few seconds looking at what I could claim.

Then I noticed something being different, I needed a little longer because in 18 months I have not seen this before so I thought...Bug.

Hell No, Not A Bug

I consider myself pretty good at math, but I could not make this equation work.

As you see I did not play too much this weekend but I am still Midnight Shadow Rank 9.

But on the 15th of August, I had 2 wins and made 250 Fragments earning me 2.3 Gods.

While on the 27th of August, I had two wins adding 11 Fragments and 0.48 Gods. That is an 80% reduction!!!!

As I hate Discord I checked the community and found @valchiz saying:

After playing for 2days with no rewards or fragments, I had to check out the discord channel and then found out no more rewards for players under rank 7 (Twilight shadow).

Then I checked Reddit and I guess I am not the only one:

So what is the deal?

The deal is that they just made it a hell of a lot tougher to make fragments, maybe for all the right reasons. But I am an 18-month-old noob that struggles to stay at rank 9. And based on what I see in my screenshot, I am at rank 8 right now.

The deal by the way was right in front of us but nobody had time for that:

I would have read it if it would say:** Listen Up Yo, We Will Screw All Noobs As Per Tomorrow**

That blog explains it all. But let me summarize it for you lazy sons of lazy mothers.

NO MORE FRAGMENTS TILL RANK 7

Deck Modifier
This was the old equation:

But they now say Mythics are worth 250? I guess they messed up their own rules with too many rules as I think they mean diamond, but what do I know?

And last but not least, the new Rank Modifiers:

Rank 1-6 = 0
Rank 7 = .12
Rank 8 = .25
Rank 9 = .48
Rank 10 = .74
Rank 11 = .90
Rank 12 = 1.0

Looking at those I think that I might dropped below 9 last night. It would explain the halving in GODS on a 2 win Day All in All, I am not very motivated.

I fully get it, and itΒ΄s probably more fair but the cards I need to upgrade my deck are beyond reach. Hence I will now be struggling even longer in this rank 7-9 range.

So I guess I need to really start doing a couple of things:

Up My Game - Which is hard

Up My Deck - Which is time

Up My Quality - Which is probably very much needed

But I would like to first sell my mistake from last month, I am the absolute cheapest atm, so anyone upping his quality this one is one sale:

Let's see if people will start upgrading and buying once they figure out what is going on....or if they just drop the game entirely.

I will spend my weekend forging cards and selling cheap to get some GODS to up mine..so I can others an up yours.

SHOW Me The Money

When I checked in last month I got this shock:

image.png

Immutable Market is being shut down! And because I am not a fan of change and spending time to figure stuff out again. I tried to find my GODS and ETH balance like I did at the old place, but even after connecting my Metamask, I was unable to find that simple overview of my tokens that I am used to.

And as promised it happened the old marketplace got frozen! And I will need to let it Go.

Most of you know the answer for sure, but if there are any noobs like me you can just go to TokenTrove click on your address top right corner, and move those tokens....

image.png

But you should never do that, you should always HODL!

And if anyone can tell me where I can find my balances in the new marketplace, THAT WOULD BE AWESOME.

Show Me The Money

But as long as I don't have a nice big screen to shoot you will no longer get that easy-to-read view as of now itΒ΄s the wear your glasses Tokentrove view, till I figure it out.

GODS only up 51, thank God. And I did not buy anything by accident and could even claim a nice bit of staking rewards:

I still have not figured out the claiming logic, but I do am thankful because the price of the token did oopsie Dipsy ...again.

I added 50 tokens and lost 30% in dollar value, what a ride. But if all goes to plan, this is the bottom and the next 4 months will be up only.


That is it for now, if you want the link to the full blog on those noob screwing updates just click here

See you next month, and who knows I might make another great noob discovery!

Sort: Β 

I was always anyway using TokenTrove, but I have never been a fan of ETH/Metamask/Immutable X or any combination thereof!! I didn't play for a while so not sure what my rank is.

I use TT mostly but the balance view on the immutal market was just nice too get a good screenshot. I spend like a 100 GODS yesterday upping my cards, not yet buying any new ones because I kinda love my deck but all are shadow and some gold mow lets see if I can make that money back now.

Good luck. The grind is real.

!PIZZA

It is indeed a huge reduction.

It got better after investing quite some GODS into upgrading the quality, not quite there yet and know I need to play like crazy to make those GODs back but at least I don't feel poor looking at my daily score anymore. !PIZZA

Man, this is brutal to hear. I haven't been playing, but I can guess they are being bot-farmed in low ranks. It appears they can't implement robust anti-bot measures so instead removed rewards for low ranks. So much for bringing in new players.

Brutal indeed, I mean I am struggling and yes I am only 18 months in and 12 months serious but these are some measures, like killing an ant with an atom bomb...but lets see, my gut feeling says they will have to get less strict

That must be it, because the lower ranked cards are so cheap now.

Honestly I think any decent F2P player should be able to comfortably stay above rank 7, provided they stop fooling around and understand they are playing in a competitive ranked ladder. That means they need to optimize their deck to be competitive against what other people are playing. There is no place for memeing around if your goal is to maximize your earnings, again on a competitive setting.

This is the Daily Play & Earn we have now. In the future we may have a new system that offers other routes for less competitive players, but for now that's what we have. Bots and abusers were eating away too much rewards from honest players.

Regarding balances, you can also search for your wallet address in https://immutascan.io/

Thanks appreciate the IMXscan. And sure I get the point, and yes I can remain above 7 if I don't have a sucky stroke. But even then I went from 2.5 to 0,5 Gods for the first 2 wins at Rank 8.

This will not bring in noobs, and the noobs+ like me that play daily will have to really invest and up their decks or sell and get out. The latter part is not the most worrying, but no fresh blood coming in is.

Honestly, the game won't go anywhere without paying players. You can't pay devs if people are not spending money in the game.

In my case I'm actually making more $GODS with the same decks I was playing before, which consist mostly of Meteorite and Shadow cards.

At what rank are you playing on average?

Gold ranks atm

PIZZA!
