My Ego Through the Roof! :)
After everyone even remotely interested in gaming on Hive started playing Rising Star, I thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to join the crowd as well.
What can I say? I finally gave in after seeing a sort of walk-through video in which @ph1102 gave some tips to @achim03, who was also late to the party, but not as late as I am.
The game seemed quite interesting after all, I just wish I had joined it a long time ago, but I was stubborned and didn't try it until a few days ago.
Actually, today I reached level 15 (16 now), and that's the level when the egometer shows up on Rising Star.
When it first showed up, I had an ego of over 60%, lol! For those who aren't playing yet, the ego is a balance between the number of fans and the skill level. If you have a higher number of fans (including temporary drunks) than skill, your ego level is higher, and it affects the STARBITS rewards, which go down.
And ego of 60% like I had is enourmous. It should be close to 0%, but at least below 10% at higher ranks, I heard @ph1102 saying.
So I bought some skill-giving cards + made 2 skill missions today which brought my ego to zero. Which is pretty cool!
What I see, however, is that every standard mission (and probably others too) now give a permanent ego boost too, besides the STARBITS and XP. Even at ego% zero. That adds to the pressure put by fans that needs to be balanced with skill. I didn't expect that, but I guess the first 15 levels were too easy.
The game is relatively passive, compared to Splinterlands for example. In Splinterlands you are hands-on in action (except for renting), while in Rising Star you launch a mission and wait (or rather do something else until it's over). If the mission is long enough, the distractions are not very often, but on 5-minute or 10-minute missions, you are pretty hands-on too, because you don't have much time to do anything else in-between missions. That's why I prefer longer missions, but I need more Cold Pizza Slices and to grow the number of fans/level to be able to play other missions.
If you're like me, and haven't joined the game until now, there's a referral link for Rising Star. I'll appreciate if you use it. Pay attention what account you use, multi-accounts are prohibited.
Writing this post from the 1UP tribe interface to try it out for the first time. Nice to see another tribe focused on gaming. Kudos to @flauwy for setting it up.
Electronic-terrorism, voice to skull and neuro monitoring on Hive and Steem. You can ignore this, but your going to wish you didnt soon. This is happening whether you believe it or not. https://ecency.com/fyrstikken/@fairandbalanced/i-am-the-only-motherfucker-on-the-internet-pointing-to-a-direct-source-for-voice-to-skull-electronic-terrorism
Congrats on reaching level 16 and welcome to the ego problematic lol. My first objective is to level up so that I can finally use my millionaire's pass. That's why I do several music lessons every day. This boosts my skill and my level. It's even better if you have some instruments of a certain type to get even more skills per lesson :-)
Thanks! That's a good scenario actually. Boosted ego stands in the rise of many otherwise promising artists, I suppose.
Yup, millionaires problems. ;)
Thanks for the tip!
nice to see you joining the crowd :)
thanks, lol.
Thanks for the mention! To be honest, I was also late for the party for a couple of months that I lost trying to get how Dcity works... lol... It was too much for me to start 2 games at the same time, and I picked the wrong one... :)
Anyways, you are doing well reaching already level 15! Just a short hint to the future, the best missions that I'm doing at the moment are those from 5 min, over 30 min to 1 hour... Mixing and combining them to keep the EGO boosts lower...
Good luck with the game!

Well, we both joined Dcity about the same time. You a little earlier. And both of us way too late, lol.
Well, I couldn't help myself and threw about a dozen Hive. Not more, because I'm pretty fond of it, lol.
Hmmm, interesting. I'll keep an eye on them and what ego they give each. I thought for the little reward both in Starbits and XP, the 5min mission ego boost is too high compared to longer missions, but I'll keep checking.

Thanks for tyring out 1UP. Great to see more Rising Star content. This is why we created this tribe.
Yup, great to see another gaming interface besides Splintertalk (maybe there are others I am not familiar with).
