RE: Season End, Hive Hard Fork, & Other Updates

in #splinterlands4 years ago

I like the idea of using the ECR rate to limit bonus pack rewards... you can do an average for the whole season (to penalize ridiculous number of games as you suggested). For instance, if you averaged an ECR rate below 70% for the whole season then you aren't qualified for the season packs. I have played since the beginning and don't know any human that averages below 70%.... of course people can dip at the end of the season but 70% ECR is running your account pretty hard. Good idea imo

Thanks for checking it out! I think I like your idea better as it can be more of a balanced approach to it all. I’m usually hovering between 80 and 100% since I don’t have a lot of time to play but that would average out to be well above 70%. I have had times where I will grind down to about 65% but that’s rare and I stop because the DEC isn’t that good and takes a long time to recharge.

I like that I’ve sparked some conversation around how we can make improvements for the long run!

@cmplxty you came up with the good suggestion, its an elegant and rather simple way to differentiate a bot from a human. If they think about it, while they want the bots playing to keep the matches readily available, the skill of winning in the season challenge should be relegated to humans (or at least based on a bot that plays as much as the humans would play). So kudos to you for the idea, I haven't seen it anywhere before, but I like the idea (and it should be easy to implement if they agree with the solution).

I often dip to 50% ECR and I always play manually.

I just picked out a number that I thought most would fit in. But it could be set lower of course. The idea I agree with is letting the humans earn the season pack ranking rewards while letting the bots play as much as they want. That differentiation is something that I think could be done easier than other ideas, so where the number is set is of course up for debate and analysis if they ever agreed to go this route.

Yay!
