Rising Star, My Impressions After a Few Months Playing

Today I would like to make a different post, actually, a friendly and relaxed conversation about everything I have lived and learned playing Rising Star.

I joined the #HIVE on May 8, 2021, and so far my only regret is not having entered this world before. What a fantastic place, with people, posts, communities and games that I enjoyed since the beginning! I'm learning more every moment and I really hope to learn a lot more things and that I can also teach more people about all this.

My first game that I had contact with was Splinterlands, so it took a while for me to get here on Rising Star. At the beginning I confess that I didn't really understand how the game worked, I'm not much of a reader about things, I prefer adventures, I find it more exciting, I play my adventures and discover things as I progress.

That's always been my way of playing things, that's my spirit and I love that way of acting. So after a few months of playing I started to understand how cool it is to play Rising Star, as it's something you can do anywhere and anytime on your cell phone or computer, for example.

Sometimes it's kind of poorly explained, how long do I play? I'm not sure haha, I believe it was in June, because my first pack, I bought it on 05/07/2021, so it was practically 1 month playing to buy the first and hard-earned pack!

Perhaps what is most disheartening is this, you have the determination to spend 1 month or more playing to collect 10k of starbits and buy your first pack. Sometimes I think it's a little scary, but I'm the type who knows that nothing comes with open arms for us, we have to fight and chase things. We have to keep in mind that play to earn doesn't happen overnight and much less will we get rich with it.

Well, actually, getting rich maybe you will, but then it depends on how much you invest in the game, I started with “zero” investment, in fact, I invested the most precious asset we have: The Time!

I believed in the game and took it as part of me to play and have fun with each new discovery, with the anxiety when buying packs, which card comes? What will I do? Does it come epic or legendary? Today I've even made guides (And I already have a few more in mind).

I believe that a game has to be fun, the rest you get is profit, be it friends, posts, discoveries, tokens or whatever, have fun! That's what matters, I confess that, Rising Star fit perfectly into my life and I'm loving it.

What I hope first of all is that the site will receive more updates and improvements. My impression is that the site is “dropped” in a corner compared to others like Splinterlands and dCrops.

I'm afraid sometimes to say these things, but I think that just like in life, suggestions and criticisms (if made constructively) can grow us a lot in any segment and that's what I think.

Of course Rising Star had events and some news, but it seems to be taking slow steps, as a player who loves the game by heart and is enchanted at every moment, I want news like:

• A more attractive and modern layouts.
• Tools that help you get data and history to be able to post with more quality.
• Something that shows me more clearly what I've done, how much I've done, how much points or starbits I've earned in a day, or in a week.
• Game transactions force me to press F5, or go to the home page and then go back to the page I was on, why not put a command or button that forces an update and leaves me on the page itself?

[EDIT] Thanks to @soltecno52 for the following improvement tip:

• Indicate more clearly how luck works, for example: every 10 luck = +1 Min Skill ~ +2 Max Skill!

• Indicate more clearly how fans influence, for example: every 100 fans = +10 Max Starbits!

These are some things I've noticed during this time, I think there's more to it, but I won't go into it further.

Well after this text, on a personal level, I hope to be able to evolve more, better understand the game mechanics and learn what to do from the middle of the game onwards, I still have some doubts about what to do, which missions to focus on and things about like, but I believe I can get over it all!

As I said, I like to learn things with emotion, as if it were an adventure where there is no tutorial or walkthrough! I like to explore everything I do.

A summary of how I am today, sometimes I can't believe that a few months ago I was only with the starting card and now I'm in this shape. When I can perform the missions optimally and with a little luck, I get 10k Starbits in 2 days, so for those who made this value in 3 or 4 weeks, it turned into 2 days, this is very satisfying!

Very happy with everything I have achieved, that's all I can say. The community is amazing, the game is super fun and it still has cards, friends and challenges, I think that's what captivates me the most.

So far I've managed to bring 3 friends to this great adventure and I hope to be able to call more people, I want to fill up with friends on Rising Star! Help them to have fun, clearing up doubts and giving tips, I know I'll get it one day.

I'm grateful for the opportunity to get to know the entire HIVE ecosystem and hope to be able to achieve bigger flights! I'm fine and happy, thanks!
