Hey Jagged! You have some great points here, it is so incredibly valuable to have fresh eyes on these issues. I love your idea to introduce a quicker path to modern - rather then spellbook purchase or grinding 100 frontier battles - there are considerations for ensuring new players have a good experience in modern but that is a solvable problem though 😄
I would love to get your take on the experience for a freshly created account -- it looks like this documentation may be for an existing account which does not have the same handling as a brand new account.
For example, we automatically grant new accounts soulbound versions of the foundations cards so that they can immediately play, and we have some guidance in the form of new player tips along the way. The process is still being refined and we have more improvements/new features coming too!
Thanks for your time and efforts with this and I'm looking forward to seeing more of your thoughts as we work together as a community to get those new players sticking!
Thanks @lilyfire, I was exploring Splinterlands in Incognito mode on my browser to experience what a non-splinterlands person would see from the get go.
When @davemccoy says we aren't getting conversions it made me wonder, what do they see?
I walked through our entrance until I hit the "no cards" popup.
I felt that just those initial steps already highlighted areas of improvement.
It's a TCG that seems a tad shy to show that it's a TCG.
