Chaos Legion
Price point for the packs affect the entire game economy
Price to low, players could buy packs and burn the cards for DEC
Won't need vouchers for bonus packs
Buy 100 packs with 100 vouchers, you still receive 110 packs
Vouchers will be minimally traded on Hive Engine, will try to maybe get on PancakeSwap as well
Plan to keep using vouchers at end of pre-sale\
Vouchers are a measurement of your SPS Staked Days
There will be a 1% chance to earn a Chaos Legion pack in chest rewards
The limited-edition promo card may be a Legendary Death Summoner š
DEC:
Reward pool will double once Modern/Wild format is launched
Team doesn't control the DEC market price
SPS:
What happens to SPS when used to buy credits and Chaos Legion packs?
No burn mechanisms just yet, but Aggroed is a big fan of burning š„
Scaling & Dev Work:
Still absolute top priority
Onboarded top notch developers and team leaders, still hiring others
New Hire - Hardpoint
Vice President Of Engineering š
Will work on streamlining, scaling, and managing everything in regards to the game
"Not about fighting fires, it is about building a great product"
Affiliate Program:
SPS purchases may account towards affiliate program - TBD
Land:
Matt wants to re-focus on land expansion very soon
Very disappointed land expansion has been delayed so much
Scaling comes first though!
Content creation is still being worked on
Team is getting more and more ambitious every day with land
Bots:
Bots aren't going away
Will do everything the team can do with exploits in the economy with bots
Not done perfectly, will be fixed overtime
Team knows there shouldn't be an advantage with bots over players
Once Chaos Legion settles down, bots will be discussed more
Modern/Wild Formats:
Modern format will probably have a change in power requirements per league
Exchange Listings:
Have talked to big exchanges all the time
Aggroed is not pushing it as much
Game isn't prepared for the big influx just yet
Be patient, exchanges are reaching out all the time to the team
2PM - 5PM EST on Saturday, September 25th
DYGYCON is created and sponsored by Splinterlands!
What is DYGYCON?
Digital conference with various blockchain projects, games, and influencers

Interesting Remarks During AMA
Splinterlands 11x in August
Doubled in September
On track to double again by end of year
Development team is growing and cloning Yabapmatts!
Yabapmatt will then be able to focus more on core game mechanics
The game growth has been keeping Aggroed up all night
Conversations are moving from millionaires reaching out, to billionaires!

Add a new setting to allow players to change the sound volume¹
Fix Hive Engine packs not being displayed properly¹
Add functionality to automatically stake your max balance¹
Alphabetize the ability list in the dropdown¹
Bigger Tasks:
