Airdrop season, packs and choices

in LeoFinance2 years ago

The sales of Chaos legion packs have slowed down somewhat but that's welcome development for anybody looking to invest in the game. The reduction in the pace of pack purchases opens up an opportunity for smaller investors and it also ensures that more people can gain from the airdropped monsters.

At this moment, there are only 30k packs standing in between the release of the next airdropped monster. The monster in question has already been announced, with details shared on both Twitter and Hive.

In the next day or two, the new monster will be airdropped on people that bought chaos legion packs. Note that it is all your purchased packs that count, rather than the packs you bought after the last airdrop.

The level of competition for assets in the game has really dampened my expectations. Personally, I'm just grateful that I'm in a position to participate in the sales and play my part in the growth of the project.

At the time of writing, I've bought 527 packs in total. In the past, I'd be almost assured of getting the airdrop but in the past, one million packs weren't getting sold-out like fresh hot bread.

Anyway, I'm still over 400 packs away from my target of 1k packs and the crazy part is that it still doesn't assure me of anything.

Speaking of my target, I actually set that goal with the mindset that the pace of sales will be much faster than it currently is. However, things are proceeding a little bit slower than I thought, so there might be time to get a little bit more after.

Assuming the sale lasts for another two months, getting to 1k Packs will be achieved. However, if this sale drags on for five months, as some have predicted, then I'm likely to buy even more than 1k packs.

Looking at the crypto market today, there's a huge possibility that sales drag on for a long time. However, based on the last one million packs sold, I don't think it will be too long.

It must have seemed "slow" but you need to note that one million packs were sold since the last airdrop and that's pretty incredible when you think about it.

Getting to diamond

My short term goal for my battling is to break into the Diamond league. At the moment, my collection power doesn't enable me to enter the league but that's not the real problem.

The real issue for me is actually battling my way into the higher league. The quality of opposition are nothing to joke with and I have to accept that I might not just be good enough to cut it at that level.

If I'm going to have any chance, I need to get all my common monsters to level 7, rare monsters to level 6, epics to level 4 and legendaries to level 3. This will give me a better chance of breaking into the Diamond level.

Upgrading my deck will cost money and that's money that I don't have. The tediousness is also compounded by the fact I'm trying to buy packs before other investors buy them all from under my nose.

Not unless something monumental happens in the crypto market, my only option is to shelf one dream for the other. Sadly, both dreams can be ruined by sudden changes in the market.

At this moment, the price of monsters are relatively cheaper than they use to be. The general price of assets on the market was affected by the wider market condition.

I don't think there's going to be any bounce anytime soon, but what if I'm wrong? A bounce will favour my chances of buying more packs but could work against my chances of buying monsters.

My plan is to find a way to do both ventures and that's what I've been doing so far but if I get too stretched, I'll have to shelf one for the other. If that time comes, I'll make a decision.

That’s a nice amount of packs. I just have so many plans and goals, but with so little capital, I buy packs almost everyday these days, I guess I’ll continue to do just that

I only bought few packs but I do hope to get this Legendary card. It's quite strong.
If I can not get it through airdrop, I will buy it.

Nice. I might buy it as well.

You might want to hurry up and buy. I think they just announced that they are going to be requiring 700 packs to be bought to get the next airdrop or something like that. Maybe it was 500. I could be wrong. I didn't fully read the post, but I saw that a lot of people were upset. I have been bouncing in and out of Diamond 3 the past two days.

Ah shit, if it's 700 then I'm not assured. I'll check in the morning though.

I was only 50 points away and then got beat up so bad, I almost got into Gold 2 😄. The current crop of players are not messing about.

I'm just going to keep improving my deck until I can fight my way into diamond.

Same was happening to me. I was getting hammered and almost knocked back to Gold II after being in Diamond III.

I always like a good card drop. But I have to say it's almost not worth buying all of those packs for the airdrop you could essentially buy them off the market for pennies on the packs.

Diamond level is a serious play I'm just about to head there myself. I think I need to get in the habit of getting these before 4-5 days to the end of the season. As we can see already today rentals rapped up to crazy highs so people can get in and get leveled up into that higher tier.

You make a fine point tbh. Been considering it as well.
If I miss out on the next pack, I'll probably just buy them off the market.

The plan is to buy and hold packs for the future. These packs are going to be expensive in the future.

Facts I'm already kind of storing up packs now getting ready for when they sell out. I'm like 99% sure they are going to be more than $4 once sold out lol
