This week in Splinterlands has been rather slow and even the Town Hall we've just had did not change that much. That is expected of course since the holidays are basically here but I was hoping we would at least get the details for the next CL legendary summoner. And unfortunately that did not happen. I don't really know how their development cycle works when it comes to such details as the summoner stats but it seems they did not come up with them before they released the CL set a year ago. That's a bit strange for sure. What if they had sold out all 15M packs on day one...馃榿 This is all we have for the Legendary Earth Summoner so far:
Anyway, let's start with the eye-candy we did get earlier today related to the upcoming soulbound? reward cards.
The initial sketches of a new Minotaur card and their silhouettes:
And the finalized version (at least for now):
The art department have been consistently delivered high-quality art for quite some time now. I almost want them to release a new card every week now just to enjoy their work on a more frequent basis. 馃榿
And the other card which was showcased was this one:
It is obviously a caster of some kind I guess. I would say - a healer but I could be wrong.
I think all three of these could eventually be skins for this card in particular.
Great stuff again. Compared to the old sets... there's no comparison really.
And a rendered version of the green/gold skin. Nate explained they did not want to make skins completely different since they wanted players to be able to quickly recognize the Monsters on the battlefield. This does make sense even though SPL is not a real-time strategy or something where you really need to be able to understand what you're seeing in a split-second. Here you can take your time a bit more for sure.
Another important thing which has actually ju st come to an end is the bulk-buy promo that was going on for the past few weeks. I actually took part in both bulk buys which occurred. I got 232 packs from the first YGG/Splex bulk buy and 228 Salty Bears/4 GF Salty Bears respectively. Then I used all my potions to open 113 packs and was left with 119. For the 2nd group buy I was just planning to buy CLP tokens (for Neal's deal) with whatever DEC I could muster and so I managed to get 102 CLP tokens and I thought I was done, however, thanks to my great guildie @bteim, who told me there was an arbitrage when selling packs on Hive-Engine and buying CLP with the DEC you got from them, I managed to get my CLP total to 204 (by selling all the packs I had), so now I am patiently waiting for my 306 CL packs and 306 Salty Bears. 馃榾 This group buy will move about 200,000 packs so we will be about 10 days away from hitting the 12M packs sold (and some burned) mark. By the way the promo is still ongoing even though the bulk-buy deal is over so there are another 21 days left, so whenever you buy a CL/RW/TD pack from the in-game store, you will get a Salty Bear promo card for each pack bought.
