Hello all Hive People & Play2Earn lovers,
When I joined the Hive Ecosystem (it was known with some other name), /i was very excited to see how the content writers get rewarded for the Blogs and the Vlogs. Then I com across thee game Splinterlands, that was the start of gaming on Hive blockchain, the play2earn has changed the way user think of the Hive Ecosystem, it has comes with many positive changes on platform. At present I am involved in many games other then Splinterlands also on Hive i.e. are Risingstar, Terracore, HoloZing, Dcrop etc and very recently I stared exploring the Arcadecolony and MoonKart is one part of same. In my opinion the gaming part of the Hive ecosystem is also one secret of success of ecosystem. I appreciate the work done by @aggroed and team.
Basic Requirement for Game Play
Recently I shared a post on Arcadecolony and the game built on the platform i.e. Moonkart. You can check my post by clicking here. In continued to same I am sharing another post on MoonKart, in which I will share my experience of purchasing the items required in the game from the inbuilt market place of platform. In the last post I shared that how I stuck in game as was not having any game asset which are the essential for game play. So may first priority was to identify the basic requirements of the game and then make my first purchase of those items so that I can start playing the game. What i can understand that a player required three basic items to play the game - First is the Kart i.e. the vehicle, second is the driver to drive the vehicle and third is the fuel to run the vehicle. Other are the accessories required to boost the different stats of the vehicle and the driver. So my first priority was to purchase at least one Vehicle and one Driver. I was confused t choose between different variants available but finally I decide to go wit the common rarity to kick start the game. As I am able to understand the Kart and the Driver are available in the market to purchase but the Fuel which is one necessary item for game play is not available in the market and player need to stake item to get supply of fuel in the game itself.
Lets Start the Purchase
The items available in the inbuilt gam market place are purchasable with the Script token or with the Credit. I was not holding any Script token so my first priority was to purchase the required token. The Hive-Engine was facing some problem and my transection was not getting through but fortunately it was normal next day. I was able too swap my Hive with Script token.
The price of Script token was slightly low as compare to the price I saw previous day before the purchase so ultimately it was good only for me that it get delay because of any reason.
Now I was good to make purchase as I acquired the required token but they were in the Hive-Engine and to make the purchase same were required in the game wallet.
The process was very simple to transfer the token form the Hive-engine to the game wallet, you need only one, two and three clicks.
Click on the transfer, the choose the Hive-Engine form the drop down menu and then click on te transfer in option.
It took couple of seconds to reflect the token in my game wallet. That shows how fast the Hive Blockchain is, and their was no gas free or charges on transection.
I as already mentioned I will o with the common rarity so I picked the ASTROKART.
It cost me 0.30 USD and in script token it was 1.262 tokens.
It took second time to reflect it in to my game account after purchase.
A shining Kart in my game collection has been added.
I come back to the race mood to check and when I clicked on the Multiplayer game mode, it opened another fancy page.
I can see he Kart option with shining Plus sign, I clicked on icon to add the Kart I just purchased.
Process was very easy, it gives the option to select the vehicle form the collection. It has to tab to switch one for normal foil and another for gold foil cards. As I have one Kart in my collection so I have single option only to choose.
When I selected the Kart it give the option to equip it, which means it will use the selected cart in the arena. This page also shows the different stats of the selected vehicle like Speed, Handling, Acceleration and Health. Here you can see one option of Stats with red symbol also.
This option shows the change in the stats of the Kart when leveled up the cards by combining them.
Now come back to the game page again and here we can see the Kart selected also get reflected.
Nest is what we required is the driver. So I again comes back to the market section to make another purchase. Here I can see six options to choose form a single rarity. I was not knowing much about them so selected one named SPARK. It is not a cool name for driver.
It cost me 0.21 USD equivalent of Script token i.e were 0.884 tokens.
Now we are ready to add the Driver also and the process is similar as we have done for the Kart.
The table below shows the change of stats when merging or leveling up the cards.
The below is the screen shot when we added the Kart and the Driver.
The left side of the screen shows the final stats of the player with selected Kart and Driver.
I really like the animation so captured the same to share with all.
When I clicked on the find match I come to know that I am low on Fuel. I can still participate in the race but the rewards will be reduced by 100%.
I have to find the way to increase the fuel.
Colony Token
I checked the Colony token available in my game wallet, and that are 28,517.65 in total. Some are still claimable so I claimed then immediately.
