πŸ’₯ Company Updates πŸ’₯

Roadmap:

  • Team is still targeting the end of August to release SPS rewards for Ranked battles
    • This change consists of rewarding SPS instead of DEC for winning battles and opening reward chests
    • There will be fixed SPS pools for each league, with the higher leagues having a much higher pool amount
    • SPS rewards will be received as staked SPS, not liquid
    • Part of this release will allow you to burn SPS for DEC
  • First phase of SPS governance
    • Day 1 will be proposals put up by the Splinterlands team
      • Team has a list of questions they want to present to community
      • Community will be able to vote based on their SPS staked weight
      • Allows for community to have a say in some company decisions rather than just the team deciding
    • User generated proposals will come in a later phase
  • Team is closing fast on the prerequisites for Land
    • Big changes have been made to buying SPS, DEC, and credits in-game
    • Non-Card market
      • First time people can buy in-game assets all within Splinterlands market
    • Team is actively working on Phase #1 of Land as well
  • Splinterfest
    • Could see some big details on Land at Splinterfest πŸ‘€
  • Rift Watchers
    • Pack sales will probably begin next month
    • Opening packs will come sometime after pack sale has started
    • There will be a Promo card for RW that can only be obtained through the pre-sale
  • SPS Validators
    • Broken into three different pieces: privatenet, testnet, mainnet
    • Privatenet has been released internally and is being tested
    • Testnet will allow community members to help test with simulated transactions
    • Mainnet is still looking to be released next year
    • Node SPS rewards are estimated to begin next month potentially

General Team Updates:

  • Big releases will continue to occur on Tuesdays
    • Hot fixes or small patches will occur on Thursdays if needed
  • Team is actively working on the GSL platform
    • Reminder that the team is looking to provide airdrops to those who stake SPS in Splinterlands
    • This project has been in the works and discussions have been happening for almost a year now
  • Splinterlands Arcade Game
    • The concept of the game has been completed and pushed to the Wizards
    • Wizards will decide if the team should pursue development or not
    • This first game concept is a Tower Defense Game

Creative:

  • Creative team has been actively generating assets for Land
  • Creative teams goal is to have all Rift Watcher assets completed by end of this week
    • Will allow Devs to implement the cards in the game fairly quickly and expedite the Rift Watcher timeline

Tournaments/Brawls:

  • Team is aware of a bug that is causing certain Tournament/Brawl battles to flee/draw automatically
  • New tournament type will be released in tomorrow's maintenance - Splinterlands Open
    • New tournament type allows all players to use the exact same cards without having to own/rent them
    • Evens the playing field for all participants and lets players play with cards that they may never be able to play with
    • Splinterlands Open will provide a maxed version of each card for the League level selected
    • New tournament type will also appeal to brand new players and let them try it out before investing or getting in
    • This new type of tournament will be limited in terms of only being made by the Splinterlands team
    • First tournament of this type will be done at Splinterfest

Community Feedback/Suggestions:

  • Team reads majority of the feedback/suggestions that the community creates
  • All ideas are taken in consideration, but not all of them are implemented right away because the team analyzes them in which creates new ideas, or creates new obstacles for the team to overcome first
  • Top voted community feedback items:
    • Set SPS to be claimed and staked instantly
      • Team loves the ideal but it is ultimately challenging to implement
    • Allocating a certain amount of DEC earned in a day to go straight to Guild Building donations
    • Adding a PvE campaign
      • Fight preset teams at different levels
      • New Splinterlands Open tournament format should help new players learn how to play without needing to invest first

⚑️ Q&A Summary ⚑️

SPS Ranked Rewards:

  • Team will release a post about the new SPS Ranked rewards and how the pools work before actually being rolled out
  • Since SPS Ranked rewards will have a fixed pool, there will be a fixed amount of SPS for each block that gets processed
    • Divided by total number of R shares - RNG can cause you to receive an arbitrary large portion
    • Very similar to how the current system works

GLS:

  • Game will be a card game, autobattler, and quick sessions
    • 2-5 minute sessions so players can play when convenient

Splinterfest Tickets:

  • Team wants to sell tickets by the end of the month
  • Trying to prioritize this as much as possible so people can begin buying tickets and making their plans to Splinterfest

Rift Watchers:

  • "Better have vouchers buddy" - Aggroed
  • Team hasn't determined how vouchers will be required yet for RW sale
    • Stay tuned for RW Whitepaper for full details

Splinterlands Open Tournaments:

  • SPL Open tournaments will most likely require KYC verification to participate
  • Most of these tournaments will probably start off as sponsor-based tournaments, so KYC will be the best option in order to prevent multi-accounts
