The last upgrade in the Splinterlands, brought us some new nice features, but in the same time brought back some of the lost features and thrills from the past. And if you don't know about what I am talking about it is the excitement of opening rewards chests and try your like same as Roulette to hit it big. Of course this is correlated to your performance and how much you are in the League, thus higher levels will provide you better rewards. This feature was revived in the Splinterlands under the "League Tier Advancement & Rewards", but it came with some perks and specifics that make it more suitable to the current game developments and more sustainable in my opinion.
The League Tier Advancement & Rewards added a new dimension of benefits for the players with the aim to keep them entertained in the game on a regular basis. Play daily, perform, advance and you will be rewarded as you level up along. While having experiences this new gameplay dimension, I want to point out the following perks and benefits coming from it.
Brings back the excitement of opening Rewards Chests
Most of us like to take chances and have some fun while doing that. And one thing that I was missing from the game was the excitement of opening Rewards Chests. The thrill in the anticipation of a possible Legendary Gold Foil that could cost hundred of dollars on the market, is something that offered anyone fair chances to hit it big. And now, we've got that back and maybe even in a better form which I will details in the bellow bullet point.
Rewards are given as you advance and not at the end of the Season
While in the past we were given a number of Rewards Chests to open at the End of the Season, now we are being rewarded as we progress along and we get those for each League Tier Advancement that we perform. Thus, we have the motivation to grind, to fight, to play and engage in order to level up sooner rather than later.
If you are regular player, you can advance 2 - 3 tiers per season
By playing as many battles as you can I believe that in a season you can tap at least 2 or 3 tiers, thus you'll get Rewards Chests at each threshold. This is quite amazing as things are releases as you progress and not at the end of the season. Thus the motivation levels are kept during the entire season and not only as a push at the end.
I am quite excited by the League Tier Advancements rewards through chests as it became a tradition and routine in Splinterlands that we all got to love. Now the thrill feeling is back and I am playing with more joy than when no rewards chests were granted. It is great that we came back to them in a better form and that Splinterlands listens to the community feedback and also to ways of making the game sustainable. There needs to be a balance between that and I think that one step at a time it is established.
