Splintershards (SPS)
Tech/Customer Support
Chaos Legion:
Pre-Sale Information (~23:55)
Probably will be X amount of staked per pack - Yabapmatt
Promo cards and other rewards for amounts
Top 6 accounts who buy the most may be able to design the Legendary cards

Designing the cards to counter/balance the existing cards (~44:40)
Payment options = credits and DEC (~45:30)

No snapshot most likely, just what you currently have staked (~1:05:50)
May stick to the same burn value as Untamed (~1:09:30)
DEC:
Designed as a stable coin, but market will the determine value (~26:11)
As price goes higher, more DEC is printed (~27:00)
As game gets bigger, exchanges may start listing DEC more (~57:20)
Bots (~1:17:00):
There are no plans to remove bots from game
This is a crypto project, and it is decentralized, the team won't control who or what plays
Scaling Issues (~6:40):
Battle operations are off the blockchain
Still being created via player accounts/keys
Past would take 4-6 transactions per battle on the blockchain
Makes game much more scalable, less demand on servers and web services
Matchmaking is blazing fast 🔥🔥🔥

Team understands that current tech/customer support members are overloaded
They are looking to onboard more members to help alleviate the work

Want to get more lore and content out, compared to League of Legends
Aggroed is working with Nate, but no timeline with everything else going on
Season Rewards (~16:00):
Season rewards will remain highest achieved for this season
Next season will see the changes where season rewards are based on end of season rating
Cooldowns will be decreased as well with these changes
Land:
Still discussing consumable items or not, vast majority may be permanent though (~22:52)
Land rentals are TBD
No intentions to release any more land right now (~52:45)
Card Rentals (~30:30):
Team will get to rental backend upgrades eventually (~30:25)
Peakmonsters is working on a tool where if rentals are cancelled by the owner, it can automatically find the renter a new rental?

Most team members are all about staking current, not selling

Potential Backlog For Splinterlands Dev Team
Minor Tasks:
Add small icon to let players know they are in an active event that requires an action (Cryptomancer)¹
Add DEC pegged value in marketplace so players have an ideal how much DEC would be required to buy a card, or how much they will receive if selling a card¹
Add a new setting to allow players to change the sound volume¹
Fix Hive Engine packs not being displayed properly
Bigger Tasks:
Output more accurate error messaging and possibly include resources to alleviate the issue¹
