💥 Company Updates 💥
Chaos Legion:
- Pre-sale is currently at almost 600k packs sold
- There is not a private sale for Chaos Legion
- Rather, it is a volume discount for those looking to buy very large amounts
- These purchases will still need vouchers if they want the bonus packs
- These purchases also don't have an advantage of buying before anyone else
- Will need to manually make the purchase once general sale is live within the Shop
- Basically, they will be worked with one-on-one to make sure their purchase goes successfully
- Packs can be opened officially on December 8th
- All Chaos Legion cards can be used in ranked and tournaments
- Team does not think Chaos Legion general sale will sell out in 24 hours
- The first few airdrops for the general sale may be adjusted to include anyone who buys within the first 24 hours
- This is to allow everyone the opportunity to get in on these airdrops
- Official news on this topic will be posted in the near-future
Dev Updates:
- Chaos Legion is still highest priority (launches December 8th)
- Team is still implementing the stats of cards
- Devs are committed to making the Chaos Legion launch as smooth as possible
- Trying to anticipate the huge strain on servers and scaling to meet the demand
- Servers have been in a very stable state for the past couple weeks
- Devs are also actively working on the enhancing the market
- Problem: Market items showing as available but actually sold
- Partial Fix last week: warning of problem in real time
- New Fix: New update will drive down chances that you are buying something that somebody else has already purchased
- First version of SPS Governance
- Will work similar to delegated PoS like on Hive, EOS, WAX, BSC
- SPS token holders will be able to vote on Validators
- Validators will run open-sourced software developed by Splinterlands
- Splinterlands wallets will be transitioned to multisig wallets
- Validators will be the signatories on these multisig wallets
- Main change will be in regards to handling treasury funds
- SPS token holders can submit proposals and vote on them
- Validators will sign transaction for the proposal
- Completely autonomous system and gives SPS community full control
- Goal is to have this implemented by early next year
Support Updates:
- Tickets are decreasing overall, even though community and game is growing
- August/September had about 10k tickets per month
- October had only around 7k tickets
- Week over week, there were over 3 million new sessions on the Splinterlands site
- 7.8M unique users -> 10.7M unique users (last week)
- On track to being more than 10.7M unique users this week
Creative Updates:
- Team is under pressure with Chaos Legion, but super excited for the launch
- Chaos Legion is top priority, but other things like land are being worked on in parallel
- Posted last story of the Tome of Chaos
- These stories have some sneak peaks into Chaos Legion monsters!
Community Moderation Updates:
- Welcome HomesteadHacker to the team!
- Main goal is to provide a safe and secure community for everyone
- See the updated post on our official Docs site!
- Once organized, community moderation has some awesome plans:
- Mini AMA's in Discord
- Twitter AMA's/Sessions
- Cooperate with Marketing & Support
Sales & Marketing Updates:
- Team is working on giant deals with guilds/communities
- Goal is to try to get as many people into the game as possible
- Working on a lot of big partnerships as well
- Stay tuned for the announcements
General Team Updates:
- Continue to onboard new devs to take issues off of YabapMatt's plate
- Matt wants to focus more on design and new feature development
- Just added a couple more developers just last week
- Reminder, all team members are players in the game as well
- So when features are created, they are created from a player perspective first
- Don't miss Dygycon this weekend!
- Player Feedback
- Feedback being taken at https://feedback.splinterlands.com/
- Incorporates player feedback into the game
- Community can vote on which feedback they like the most
- Eventually will become a proposal for SPS holders to vote on
- Team is working on bringing in game updates within the game itself
- That way all players are exposed, and don't need to be on Discord or Telegram
⚡️ AMA Summary ⚡️
👀 = See Eye Candy! Chaos Legion 👀:
- Yabapmatt thinks general sale will last months, Aggroed thinks first week
- Team is not going to change how the sale is going to go
- Starter deck will change when the Chaos Legion is launched
- Will be Untamed, Chaos Legion, Dice, and Untamed/CL Reward Cards
- Aggroed will put out a post soon about the volume discounts they've been discussing
SPS:
- SPS utility is coming
- Not top priority but still on the team's roadmap
- Those who stake SPS will continue seeing greater earnings
DEC:
- If DEC decreases in price, DEC rewards will decrease as well
- That is why there will be SPS rewards though as well in the future
- Spending credits in game gives DEC more value
- Team is constantly buying DEC every day in order to allow players to buy from the market with credits
- Sellers receive DEC from sold cards, or rentals, even if bought with credits
In-Game Market:
- Team is hoping to implement the in-game market for land, titles, totems, vouchers, etc...
- Goal would be by end of 2021, but not guaranteed
Land:
- Probably will leak into Q2 of 2022
- After Chaos Legion, land will take the next top priority
- Team will provide sneak peaks through Q1 of 2022
Vouchers:
- The vouchers given out during the presale and post-presale are the same token
- Next voucher airdrop will continue on December 8th
- Will be 66,666.66 vouchers dropped a day for 30 days
- After the 30 days, voucher drop will be 20k/day indefinitely
Modern/Wild Ranked Formats:
- Won't be released until January 2022 most likely
- Collection power will probably align with the two different formats
- Example: Alpha card's power won't count towards Modern CP
Player Feedback/Suggestions:
- Any feedback or suggestions should be submitted to https://feedback.splinterlands.com/
- So if you really want to see a change made, post your suggestion and get people to vote it!
