- Legionnaire title benefits will be announced before pre-sale
- Planning to use the voucher system beyond the pre-sale to meter out the public sale
- Wait for official announcement from team on this topic!
- Maverick status will most likely be increased to 1000 Chaos Legion packs
- Only counts if you buy packs from store in-game, not from other players
- Packs will be priced based on DEC & SPS market price
- Cryptomancer is 100% focused on the Chaos Legion pre-sale
- Confident to launch the pre-sale on time!
- Pre-sale packs may not be eligible for the SPS airdrop on Day 1 - wait for announcement
Pre-Sale Clarifications:
- To receive the 20%, 15%, and 10% bonus amounts, you need to do buy as a single transaction
- All other pre-sale rewards will accumulate as you buy
- Bonus packs will count towards all pre-sale benefits (title, Maverick status, promo card)
In-Game Marketplace:
- Won't be created before Chaos Legion
- Will almost include all Splinterlands assets to be sold in-game
- Vouchers, titles, land, totems, etc...
Vouchers:
- First voucher drop is aimed to be before pre-sale starts
- Should be able to buy CL packs as soon as the pre-sale timer hits 00:00:00
- Voucher airdrop hasn't been decided, but will be different from the SPS airdrop
- Will occur for 30 days, and will airdrop everyday
- Vouchers will most likely accumulate in your account automatically - no need to claim
- Vouchers won't be worth any SPS points for the SPS airdrop
- Voucher price will be determine by players on the markets
- Not official if needed after pre-sale just yet - wait for announcement!
- CHAOS LEGION PRE-SALE VOUCHERS CALCULATOR
- Vouchers will continue to be a feature throughout the future of the game
SPS:
- Ultimate goal is to motivate players to stake SPS
- Players who stake SPS will receive many more benefits than those who don't going forward
- Additional SPS rewards will be focused in the near-future
Scaling & Dev Work:
- Game has been very stable lately
- Continuing to expand the DevOps team to keep servers running smoothly
- Other team members are being hired to continue feature development as well
- Onboarding team members takes time though to get started
- "Some of the new developers are much better than me" - Quoted by YabapMatt himself!
- Goal is to have a much bigger team in the next 3 - 6 months to focus on all aspects of the game:
- Backend
- Security
- Specific features: Rift Watchers, Land, etc...
- Animation Effects + Enhanced Battle Gameplay
- Other minor suggestions
- Current focus for dev team:
- Chaos Legion
- First Phase Of Land Expansion
- More SPS Features
Land 👀:
- Team want's people excited about land location
- Location will be as important as land rarity/type
- All land plots will have a story within the Praetoria continent
- Regions/Tracts will have all the plots connected
- Regions will have a wide variety of all the land types
- Most likely won't have every type of land
- May be better to specialize in resource/s rather than get 1 of each type
- Not every land plot will most likely require a summoner/monster to work on it
Animations 👀:
- Team wants to include animations to game to elevate overall gameplay
- Monsters will have idle animations at the start
- May have an attacking animation and even a triumphant animation
Why Hive Blockchain?
- Hive was created to be more user-friendly than most other blockchains
- Choose your username for your wallet
- Keys with different levels of permissions
- Keys can be recovered if hacked/changed
- Doesn't have any gas fees
- Players aren't even required to stake Hive to recharge Resource Credits
- Splinterlands delegates Hive to players when needed
Potions:
- Still unsure about changing quest potion back to be bought with credits
- The issue isn't with how it is bought, it is about the effect on players
- Doesn't motivate players to climb higher leagues
- Team has thoughts on new potions that may be introduced in the future
- DEC prices for potions will probably be changed to be based on market price
Lore 👀:
- Don't ignore the lore
- Chaos Legion is going to bring all the lore together
- May be advantages for players who know the lore versus those who don't
Security:
- If keys are stolen/exposed, no other security measures will prevent asset losses
- If active/master keys are kept secure, no assets will get stolen
- 2FA (Two Factor Authentication) won't help with keys are somehow stolen/exposed
