⚡️ AMA Summary ⚡️
SPS:
- New potential feature coming could be auto-staking
- If set, would auto-stake the SPS you receive from SPS staking rewards
Land:
- Potential plan is to allow tract & region claims to be split before revealed
- So these claims would turn into individual land plot claims
- Then land plot claims can be revealed individually
- Allows tract/region pools to be distributed evenly
- There will be 14 different geography types
- Aggroed wanted 30+, Nate cut down to 14
- Each geography type has 4 different rarities
- Also magic-based land and non-magic land, and occupied/unoccupied land
Reward Cards:
- No plans on reducing the total max supply of reward cards
- Team doesn't want to constantly be adding new reward cards into the game
Riftwatchers:
- Aggroed wants to require vouchers for 100% of the Riftwatchers sales
- Matt is hesitant as a lot will probably change by the time Riftwatchers is released
Chaos Legion Airdrops:
- Regardless of how many packs are sold in phase 2, the airdrop drop rates for the 2nd and 3rd airdrops will remain as they are
- 0.33% per pack, 300 packs guarantee one airdrop
- The subsequent airdrops will have larger drop rates as it takes in consideration the amount of packs sold
- Drop rates aren't officially announced until closer to general sale
- All packs bought in pre-sale and phase 2 will count towards all subsequent airdrops
Ranked Reward System:
- Team wants to do a high-level overview of the reward structure
- Looking to improve the incentives for climbing to higher leagues
- Will keep bots vs players in mind so bots never have more advantages
- Always looking to keep players interested and reward those who try to climb higher
Chaos Legion General Sale Stream:
- Team wants to do another stream for the start of the Chaos Legion stream
- They did a very similar one for the first day of opening Chaos Legion packs
- Lookout for a stream link on Discord/Telegram!
