Player introduction - Iceflare - Top 5 world on leaderboard

in Gods On Chain3 years ago

Hey everyone,

I'm Iceflare and I've been playing Gods Unchained since the beginning of the year. I'm currently consistently competing at top 50 in the world.

This was my rank yesterday!

I'm a gamer at heart, and I have played games in every genre. I have played everything from MMORPG(Guildwars, WoW), MOBA (HoN, Dota, LoL), turn-based games (Heroes of Might and magic, Hearthstone, Auto Chess, Underlords), and shooters. I have played it all. Have you played any of these games, let me know in the comments below, and maybe we can play some games one day! :)

I have a master's degree in finance, and currently, work as a big data analyst for a media company. In 2017 I was working as a portfolio manager for a cryptocurrency hedge fund and was devouring everything in the crypto space. This is how I stumbled over God's Unchained.

I signed up for their beta Mon 11/26/2018 at 2:31 PM according to my Gmail, but I didn't buy any of the promotional (which I VERY much regret now), and I didn't purchase the genesis card packs, which I also regret a lot.

I think I started playing Gods Unchained earlier this year because of a random email I received from the Gods Unchained team. I figured I'll give the game a real shot, and downloaded the client, hooked up the wallet, and started playing.

The game surprised me so much, I got REALLY hooked from the first day I played. The game was actually good. It feels like Hearthstone, with an added layer of complexity with the Sanctum and card interactions.

I found the TST discord server and got help to build some good F2P-decks and I reached mythic in my first week and got 20 wins in the next weekend ranked tournament. The fact that you can compete at the top in a P2E game with a F2P-deck is amazing.

My favourite deck at the moment is this:

My next posts will be an in-depth guide to this deck, other decks I like, how I like to play (when to be aggresive and go face/when to trade with your opponent). If you want to hear more from me, please upvote and comment what you want to learn more about.

I'm also new to HIVE and hive.blog and Gods on Chain. Hello everyone, and thanks to @acidyo for inviting me and answering all my questions. Cheers

Sort:  

Welcome maybe due to your expertise it would help for you to run through some of your favorite deck or deck types in each god and perhaps highlight the main combos within the deck or what made you choose it.

Also just guessing the average viewer may not be as vested if there are cheaper alternatives to certain key cards that are more affordable to newer players.

Hahaha! Hello, Moral!

Sent you some hivepower delegation btw so you can post and comment more times per day (until you earn your own HP)

Thanks, dude, you are the best <3
How do I get more HP? Is that through staking HIVE, or what? I ran out when I followed a bunch of GU players here.

Post rewards from posts and comments bring you 50% hive backed dollars (HBD) and 50% HP (hivepower). You need to have some Hive power to use the chain since transactions are feeless, if u have 0 you'll run out quick (like 3 comments/posts per week). It's not an issue after like 30-50 HP, no one would need more than that for their social activities so most people will get to that eventually.

Another great thing for hive's scalability is that soon we will be able to just delegate Resource credits instead of Hivepower to get RC. Meaning it won't cost them any returns (since you get curation rewards from your hive power).

Thank you for that great reply!
Starting to understand how this all works now. Thanks for all your help so far :)

But yeah, you stake Hive into Hivepower, it takes 3 months to get it all back into Hive in weekly installments.

Congratulations @iceflare! You have completed the following achievement on the Hive blockchain and have been rewarded with new badge(s):

Hello @iceflare! This is @proteancreator from @ocd (Original Content Decentralized) team, and I just want to say that that's some fine introduction post you got! Congratulations and welcome!

You'll find tons of gaming communities here on Hive, just make sure to subscribe to these Communities that you like, so you could share your blogs there to have a wider range of audience 😄. Check out the Communities Incubation Program for more info.

If you are looking for tips and information as a Hive newbie, click here: Newbie guide. If you have questions, you can hop into Discord server and we'll gladly answer your questions ✨.

Also, letting you know, since content on the Hive platform is monetized, using other people’s ideas or images could be considered as an offense and which is also viewed in a serious light on the blockchain. Here is a useful collection of resources about how plagiarism and abuse is viewed and handled on Hive.

Thank you for that nice welcome @proteancreator / @lovesniper and @ocd !
I'll check out the other communities eventually. Right now I'm mostly focused on content around Gods Unchained, but I also want to post about all things gaming / NFT / cryptocurrencies / DEFI and of course Blockchain Gaming going forward.
I'm currently working on my second content piece that I will hopefully release today. This is very exciting! I love the platform already! :D
