Hello Splinterlands Fam,
We had another Town Hall Meeting and I'm here to take some notes and thoughts on the matters talked. Here we go:
Here are the spekers list from the original Town Hall Summary post of Splinterlands:
Speakers:
Aggroed (Co-Founder)
Hardpoint (Chief Technology Officer)
Chatter (Director of Growth)
Nateaguila (Creative Director)
WeirdBeard (ESports Manager)
JaiaJaguar (Warner Music Group)
WafflesKitty (DYGYCON)
InvestYGator (Rapid Team Developer)
Robbie (Event Manager)
As Always I'm writing stuff by giving priority to the most important things.
Waka Spiritblade Sale
The sale will be live on Thursday, March 10th at 12:00 PM EST (17:00 UTC). The prices of the Regular Foil is $1500 in WAX, Gold Foil is $7000 in WAX. Let's see what was the sales going on around Splinterlands Market:
This means there was no price craze after the cards sold-out. Also not much GF owners put it to market and the 3 GF on the market has no buyers. That's so normal, I think those guys only put it there to see the reactions etc, not to actually sell it!
But now, the price will be automatically get lowered to $1500. Because of that announcement the price of the card right now, which is minimum $2077 is not real because nobody gonna buy now knowing that it will be listed %25 discounted later! This might be a little bit downer for the holders but I think they know that when those cards on Wax sold-out, the prices will stabilize again. In a more bullish market, they will skyrocket in my guess!
Lore
This is what I was talking about. New Splinterlands Narrative Editor came from Marvel & DC. They say he will leverage his network and experience for a Splinterlands comic book. And narrative team is compiling all their stories together to possibly release a book or digital PDF.
That's what I'm talking about, a book will be a very good foundation but Comic Series would be a huge impact on the Splinterlands. That needs brains from Marvel & DC. So good call. Publishing is hard, maybe first starting with a webtoon or manga series would be great!
Please, more of this!
Reward System
It says the team has been building out data models of the reward system and analyzing them. These models will drive how the team changes the reward system to incentivize players. New ranked reward system will smooth out the rewards towards the end of season. The longer you play over the season, the more you will be rewarded!
I must stop you here, this one word there is soo important!
The longer you play over the season, the more you will be rewarded!
Man, the accounts that play longer and more are BOT ACCOUNTS! Please someone tell me that this was a typo and the real thing is maybe:
THE LONGER YOU PLAY AT THE BEGINNING AND NEAR EOS YOU GET MORE REWARDS.
So maybe the reward chart should be like that:
This is what we should be seeking! Because people usually plays in mid season in order to rise in their leagues and where rent prices are normal.
Marketing Updates
One part is important here:
Team is creating a new video series to fully explain how to get into the game
How to create an account, battle, buy SPS/DEC, etc...
Well, that was really needed. The splinterlands Docs are ancient, doesn't have enough and right information. So it will be great for new beginners to have something like that.
Tournaments
This is important I think:
Keeping an eye on:
Prize distributions
Deck Competitivity
Rank Inflation
Yes, these will make tourneys more desirable. System rework is being done, good news.
DYGYCON 8
The information is like this:
DYGYCON is a gateway to crypto projects, talks, giveaways, and community networking

Giving out 25 Chaos Legion packs and 25 Vouchers
I think 25 CL Packs is not enough to incentivize but that's me. I really liked last Dygycon, contest hunting was super joyful. I've introduced to lots of different companies and projects. Also DYGYCON and Gamerjibe may implement Morloth's Workshop but that's not maybe for this Dygycon, it's not that easy I guess.
Modern/Wild
It says Modern/Wild will be released first for Ranked play. We'll see how will that come out, I'm so excited about that! And there are some goodies here they shared:
Land:
It says For the past three weeks, there has been a dedicated team working on Land specifically. Team wants to release a Land roadmap in the near-future for people to look forward too. Not expecting in a month I think.
Other Stuff
Team updates and new creatives etc news are so good.
WMG updates are nice, let's see what will it produce!
Hardpoint and Chatter speaking in conferences is good news.
TeraBlock will be the new bridge service for all DEC/SPS token transfers over ETH and BSC
Stream team should be kicked off in the next few weeks
Zipmex partnership should be launching Friday, March 4th
About Waka Story, I already said in one comment that I was expecting a more dark story than this, Waka being a nice guy, avenging his people is old school for me. you should ask this to Marvel/DC guy whay Deadpool and Batman like characters were trending last years and how they also try to add bit of spice to Supermen, Logan etc. Still great story by the way.
Thanks for reading my thoughts and notes on Town Hall.
Take Care!
