Hello Banditos
Usually I say its been a month or something, but this time it's been 3 months. I want to say I am still here, and I see some of our Scrap Bandits are still here. so It's legit to say we are still here!
Playing Terracore is getting harder nowadays because some of the old players have gone. Well for more than 3 years, nothing we can expect for them to keep on playing. Everyone will eventually hit their limit, and play other games for a refresh.
At the #30 update, or the upcoming one, I will make my decision whether I will stay playing this Terracore or not. It's been a great game however yeah... everything has it end or finish line. I will decide to whether I will keep using this account exclusively for Terracore, or I will use this account to explore other HIVE d.apps as I believe it could bring more benefits to our ecosystem
Ok back to Terracore, currently I sit on rank 175. I have jumped 4 spots from rank 179 in 3 months. It means the last 170 accounts are still very active, else I would have easily jumped over them.
I will try to enjoy my journey here. anyway if you are an active Hive authors and you need some support, drop a comment below. I might consider put you into my hive.vote list. It's a small vote anyway, I just want to help some small authors.
MY GROWTH
I do not have any privilege to say that I am a small player anymore. Being in top 200 put me into a condition that at least I am a mid size player here. This is my stats right now:
| STATS | Before | After | Changes | Reasons and Goal |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stash Size | 5.000 | 5.000 | ~ | I think I have reached an ideal stash size for this account. I see no point in increasing it more unless this account decides to fight for the top |
| Favor | 1.000 | 1,000 | ~ | Right now I am considering to upgrade Favor to 5000, just to have some boost for the next update |
| Engineering | 28 | 29 | +1 | I added a point here, which I believe it is a necessity to keep moving forward. |
| Damage | 740 | 820 | +80 | I leveled up 80 point of Damage during this period, this part becomes my biggest growth because I keep losing my targets on my radar |
| Defense | 810 | 860 | +50 | I leveled up 50 defense in this period. Same as the engineering, those points are some necessity to keep on moving forward |
Overall I keep my defensive built but I put more resource on offense. I keep losing some targets because I believe they have retired, so I need to level up to get more decent targets. Robbing people and get a good stash is very important, it is the essence of this game..
NEWBIE TIPS ON BUILT:
1. Focus on your built. There is no right or wrong, or the best build for this game. Everything depends on how you play the game, how often you are playing Terracore, preference in mining over attacking and many more.
2. Always have your defense level higher than your engineering level. Some said it should be at least 3 level higher, but trust me... there is no absolute formula in this game, so how many level it should be higher, all depends on how you play this game
3. Do not do upgrade frenzy... always plan well, save some for next week upgrades so you won't get penalized from being idle without upgrade.
THE RUMBLE
My win rate is 51%, it drops 4% from last year. Have I played that badly recently? Maybe, but the reason is more on people that are retiring. There are some farms, I mean alts that kept to be farming targets of their main account that are disappearing.
After they are gone, this account become targets of bigger accounts. That's how I have got attacked more frequently and put it the factor that I am losing some good targets too.
Because this change of shift due to retiring people is very notable, I could not note who are my biggest enemies and who are the juicest targets I have been harassing on. Well I have no clue at the moment, and it is the main reason why I have some 60k spare scraps, because I am still figuring out on the change of my built.
NEWBIE TIPS ON BUILT:
1. Winning the battles are great however getting more $SCRAP from battles doen't make you get more scrap in overall. There are players who lose battles badly but in daily they are making tonnes of $SCRAPS due to high engineering level. So all be back on what your goal is, winning the brawls or minting the SCRAP.
Ok that's all what I can say today and that ends my 29th Terracore update. Guard your $SCRAP guys, I might be coming to rob you!
