So lately I've been playing steem monsters. After looking into it I discovered that there may be a little bit of money to make playing. And so I took the venture on.
I have noticed a few things though. 1st of all, we are not playing to beat one another. This is because we do not get to choose who we play against.
Our opponents are chosen by their computer. So the other thing I have noticed is that if the computer already knows who will win once the battle begins, It already knew who would win when it picked your a opponent. This means, that the computer determines 100% by itself where you are at in your rank.
I don't believe the computer is trying to find a component that matches our level of magic and mayhem. I believe the computer is looking for a match that will look even compared to you and your level. The computer already knows who will win and who will lose before the match even begins. Therefore the computer has complete control over your rank and whether or not you are able to complete tasks and quests.
I also have discovered that after playing for a while, unless you are willing to invest an extremely considerable amount of money you will never make it above the lowest ranks.
The fact that the game works in this way, unfortunately, makes me feel as though the game will not make it long turn. At least not without some changes.
I believe, that there should be an ability for us to challenge one another and pick who we play against, to help raise the level of fun. I also believe that unless the game is changed to allow us the humans to interact There will also be problems. Maybe something along the lines of when a card's turn to play comes up, we choose between A couple of different attack choices. At least this way we the humans playing the games would have a chance to affect the outcome. I believe this has to be better than allowing a computer to determine 100% whether we win or lose before the game even begins.
I am not saying all of this to be mean to the game designers, but only to help them. I really enjoy steem monsters but I don't know how long it will last and its current state. Sure, the whales and the ultra rich will probably play but without a base how long can it possibly last?
