Hello to any of my readers and "Dear (weekly) Diary" 😜
The entire crypto market seems to be holding pretty strong. Might this actually be a real and sustained turning point? I guess we'll find out soon enough when the Fed meets again and announces their plans with the interest rates. The sentiment for BTC is certainly really bullish at the moment though. 📈📉
On the Splinterlands dev side of the game, the presale for Rebellion is still ongoing. How have the numbers been so far? Is everything already sold out? When will Rebellion be released? What about the previews of the cards and their abilities? We'll take a look at it later on. 😉
But before I go into detail...
A brief introduction before I start though...
Good Day to all Splinterlands players! (and people of HIVE! 😜) I've made it a point to blog about my weekly progress and experiences in Splinterlands/HIVE in my "weekly diary". Splinterlands & HIVE are what I'd consider to be my entry point into the World of Crypto, and I intend to use this as a means to look back on the path I've taken in the years ahead.⏳⏳⏳
This is now the 101st consecutive week writing in my Diary (of sorts) detailing my Splinterlands Journey ever since I started this game. I talk about what has gone on my personal Splinterlands playing experience, my weekly Guild Brawl Reports, and also any Splinterlands ingame news. 🎉🥳🎊
No week goes by in Splinterlands without some news event happening though. And here's my pick of some of the most interesting ones in my opinion. 📰📰📰
🗺️🧳✈️Updates on my Splinterlands Journey🗺️🧳✈️
There really isn't much to mention about my gameplay this week in Splinterlands. We're in the midst of the season and that's usually the "boring" phase. Just log in everyday whenever I'm free to grind out those games. I complete my daily focuses for the reward chests, draining my energy down until it is enough to recharge fully for the next day. Rinse and repeat and that's about it! 😅
There also isn't anything much to talk about in terms of drops too. Sigh. Where has Lady Luck gone? 💔
My quest for more Gold Foil Legendary cards from my rewards chests continues on ("Greed is Good!" 😈). It's a 0.008% chance, at base level, to pull a legendary gold foil, in case you were wondering 😉. Here's to more jackpot strikes in the future (i hope) 🤞🏻🍀🤞🏻🍀🤞🏻🍀.
⚔️🛡️Weekly Guild Brawls Report⚔️🛡️
With the end of the week comes my latest Splinterlands Guild Brawl Report for "PIZZA 2 The Deep Dish" too. 🍕⚔️🛡️
My main regularly picks up the ✨🏅✨Gold Foil Chaos Legion Only Fray no.12✨🏅✨ while my alt takes up the ✨🏅✨Bronze Chaos Legion Fray no. 7✨🏅✨ every week.
This has been a really odd week. Basically, both my main and alts had no battles at all. That meant zero participation for me. And it wasn't just confined to me alone. Most of the guild had drastically reduced number of battles. This wouldn't turn out well in my opinion. 😅
PIZZA 2 Guild managed to finish in 3rd place! 🏆🏆🏆
As I'd expected, the very low number of battles meant the slightest number of wins and losses would make a huge difference. We finished in a "dismal" 3rd. Although there were only 4 guilds in total. This was really odd and is the first time I've experienced it in a brawl. What happened to all the players? 🤔
Great Job from everyone who took part in the Guild Brawls! I'm proud of you all! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
On a sidenote, we've still got some unfilled frays too so...
BTW, PIZZA 2 is recruiting 😜 and looking for active players who can commit to attending every single guild brawl. Do hop into the PIZZA DISCORD if anyone is interested (or knows someone who is).
🏆💰🎁Splinterlands News🏆💰🎁
We've had almost 10 days of Rebellion presale go by us and there's only about 20 more days to go. How have the sales been doing so far? Let's take a look.
It has definitely slowed down after that initial flurry of sales last week. But I'd say sales has been pretty good, all things considered. Out of the 500k packs, only about 200k are left. In fact, I wouldn't be shocked now if it all sells out by the end of it all. There will always be some late game buyers waiting to snap it up to take a surprise lead in the prize leaderboard.
What about other news related to Rebellion? Here's some that I've gleaned from the past week's Town Hall.
Rebellion full release on the 5th December this year.
Card previews to start coming in somewhere before this date.
These 2 pieces of info are what excites me the most! A concrete release date and a quick look at what will be coming with it.
Weekly Riftwatchers Sales Tracker
Well, CHAOS LEGION IS ALL SOLD OUT! So the next most logical thing to track next are the sales of Riftwatchers.
2294218 packs have been sold (as of the writing of my post) out of a total supply of 3 million. There's still almost 200k to the next count of 2.5 million packs sold before we get the next Legendary Riftwatchers Airdrop card. 🚀📈🤑
