Steem Monsters - New Rules
The new season of Steem Monsters has started, and with it have come a few new changes.
One change that I really like is that melee monsters will have a minimum of 1 attack power. So if you go up against a Zintar, he won't make half your monsters have 0 attack value. That means death splinter doesn't dominate quite as much as it used to. It's still very strong though.
The rewards have also changed. Rather than giving out booster packs, SM will be giving out special cards from the new Rewards Set. These are cards that you can only get from completing the daily quests. Pictured above is one of my favorites so far. I've used it in a few rounds, and I think it was the deciding factor in giving me the win on both of them.
I don't have enough reward cards to do a giveaway yet, but I'll be doing one soon. I'm in the silver group, so that means I get 5 cards with each daily quest completed. Keep an eye out for those to resume.
Thanks for your support!
Well I do hate the new reward system for the daily quest. It feels unfair. I have no problems with the fact that the end of season rewards are depending on the league you did end in.
But because I am only in the Bronze league I will earn 1 reward card per daily quest. You in contrast will earn 5 card per daily quest.
This means that after 10 days, you will have 50 rewards cards in contrast to my 5 rewards cards. Players in the gold league will have 100 of those.
This just does increase the gaps between the league, resulting in a fact that the only way to promote to another league will be investing a lot into the game.
I really regret that these changed this. In the previous reward system, regardless of the league you were in, everybody would earn the same reward. Which feels much fairer than the current distribution.
Cheers,

That is a downside to it. I think it was designed to encourage people to level up and play in higher levels. As it was, there wasn't any additional reward for those playing at the Champion Level. I feel your pain though. It's not always easy to win, even in the silver level.
Yeah, after the full season if you're playing bronze, you should get a total of 18 cards if you complete each quest. Someone in Silver will get 90. It doesn't mean they'll actually get better cards, just more chances. The other thing is that the cards are limited in scope. You can't build a full team off these cards, so if you're doing ok at a certain level, it's not like everyone else is going to outmatch you all of a sudden.
I would have preferred they change the reward to be a beta booster, but a special one that limits the gold/legendary cards you could get. I know they're trying to sell packs, but if they're actually not going to do the XP thing for each battle that they had talked about, the game could get stale for people who aren't spending gobs on money on packs. We'll see though.
Hang in there! We're all figuring it out together!
