Development teams have been releasing some very smooth updates recently
- License sale went exactly as planned without any issues
- Ranked Reward changes rolled out super smoothly as well
Ranked Reward affects
- Primary objective was to limit the amount of reward farming without having to own any in-game assets
  - Starter cards reduce the amount of Focus Points & DEC earned
- Additional goal was to reward the higher leagues
  - Incentivizes players to create high level decks over spreading cards across multiple accounts
- Team plans on releasing more, new Daily Focuses in the near-future
Modern/Wild updates
- Modern/Wild will go hand-in-hand with the new Ranked Reward changes
- Will benefit guilds that run scholarships and allow them to bring new players into the game

In progress items:
- Splinterfest designs
- Polishing up Ranked Rewards items
- Modern/Wild concept art
- SPS spinner (not just the monster teeth)
- Ton of other Quality of Life items
- Land!
  - Phase 0 wireframes have been created and forwarded to rest of the team
Creative team is creating on Monster Quips
- When selected to be on your team, their quip may go off

Byzatine Kitty and Yodin Zaku plushies go on sale today! (See Announcements)
Splinterfest is still being planned in terms of ticket prices and travel guides
- Panels and other hosted events are still TBD for the weekend
More partnerships still coming down the pipeline
- Big names for upcoming tournaments

About to pass $6M in tournament prizes
Looking to organize a mini townhall next week for those who want to talk about Brawls/Guilds
There is a known bug with non-Splinterlands tokens not being distributed properly with tournaments
- Should be fixed after tomorrow's update

Splinterlands TV is almost going to cross over the 1000 subscriber threshold
- Subscribe here if not already:
- Streamer spotlight includes select streamers to give away packs to viewers

Voucher rewards for License holders should begin soon (See Announcements)
- Team decided these rewards would start sooner than originally planned due to investor uncertainty
- Overall goal is to incentivize new people and players into the ecosystem

New Ranked Rewards is being worked on to be compatible with the Mobile App as we speak
Team is going to analyze the new reward changes over the next few seasons before making changes
- They are listening to community feedback as well, but aren't going to make any changes until fully analyzed
New Daily Focus selections will be introduced soon
Bronze rewards are ultimately down after the new changes
- Diamond & Champion rewards have drastically increased as intended
- Overall inflation is down while player owned card rewards are up

Even with the increase in voucher distribution, price should be set by Node License sales
Vouchers will continue to also be necessary for every single promotion going forward as well
- Splinterfest
- Rift Watchers
- New Promo Cards
- etc...
