- Estimated date for opening and playing with RW cards is Tuesday, September 27th
- Total packs minted is 3M
- Price per pack is $5 in SPS + 1 VOUCHER
- RiftWatchers will be the mini-set for Chaos Legion
- Main Set is mainly for the company to make revenue
- Mini sets are more for adding in burn mechanisms to give DEC/SPS/VOUCHER more utility
- SPS used towards RiftWatcher packs will be sent to the DAO
- These funds will be voted on by the community on how they should be used
- RiftWatcher cards are a bit more high mana focused
- There is a new ability being introduced with RW called "Fury"
- Fury allows the character to do double damage against targets with the Taunt ability
- RiftWatcher set will include six new Epic summoners (See Eye Candy)
Splinterlands Tower Defense (SPLTD):
- New Splinterlands game being developed by Double Coconut
- Around 30 Double Coconut employees working on this game solely
- SPLTD will be a PvE game, not PvP like Splinterlands
- SPLTD will be an autobattler where you will set up your Towers then watch the gameplay automatically battle out
- As you get further through waves and bosses, you will be able to Press Your Luck for the bigger rewards
- The futher you get, the more you will be rewarded
- Each game you play will consist of you defending your rewards
- Instead of just a win/lose battle, you will either earn more rewards or lose rewards depending on whether you get through the wave or not
- Rewards for SPLTD will be decided by SPS Governance Vote
- One set of rewards will be earning in-game NFTs (like you can in Splinterlands)
- Another set of rewards will be SPS (new SPS Governance vote)
- Big portion of the SPS reward pool may consist of SPS taken from the internal team's SPS pool
- Rewards will be gauged off of how much SPS staked your account has
- Towers will have an ECR embedded in each Tower, rather than on your account
- Each time you use a Tower, that specific Tower will get its ECR reduced
- Depending on how this goes on SPLTD, this could be implemented in Splinterlands later down the road
- Staking cards in Towers will restrict those SPL cards from being used in SPL battles or being sold/rented
- You will be able to unstake the cards out of SPLTD, but there will be a certain period of time you will need to wait before being fully unstaked
- Splinterlands Asset Bonuses:
- Some SPLTD items will require DEC only
- VOUCHER tokens will give a discount for certain items as well
- SPL cards can be staked on towers to boost the stats of the towers
- DEC + VOUCHER may boost the unstaking time for SPL Cards staked in Towers
- DEC + VOUCHER could be used to increase your ECR on Towers
- Initial pack sale launch will include around 25 Towers
- Every Tower will have certain upgrade paths
- Team's goal is to start TD pre-sale on Tuesday, September 20th
- 2M TD packs
- 250k packs allocated to the pre-sale
- Exlcusive hero for those participating in the pre-sale
- $8 per pack
- Can only be bought in DEC or Credits
- 1 VOUCHER = $3 discount
- Packs will consist of 5 random Towers
- Out of the 25 total Towers in the intial set
- SPLTD will have a closed Beta for purchasers of 500 packs or more in the pre-sale
- Extra benefit to those larger buyers to get first access to the game!
