Chaos Legion Airdrops:
- All airdrops were determined to be Legendaries
- Next two are already designed and can be seen in Eye Candy
- Then there will be the six Legendary designed summoners
- Legendaries are the hardest rarity to get so it is more of a reward for those who buy packs and receive these airdrops
Land:
- Team has been working on land economics and design decisions, but can't leak any just yet
- Totems will be able to mined/harvested from land
- Overall totems will be scarce and limited
Vouchers:
- Next use-case will be for Riftwatchers
- Other use-cases would be for promotions that the team is in the works of spinning up
- "We want to see vouchers be integrated into everything we put out there" - Aggroed
Tournaments:
- Tournaments will probably see a big revamp in the future
- WeirdBeard is going to enhance these in a huge way!
- If you want to leave feedback for how Tournaments are created and planned, throw it in the #tournament-planning Discord channel

- NFT's are receiving harsh criticism from the general population
- Splinterlands is targetting the percent of people who are open-minded and understanding the advtanges of NFT's and NFT gaming
- Splinterlands is going to be building upon their brand recognition to help go mainstream
Skins:
- Not a huge priority, but everyone wants to see something happen with skins

You guys are very clever with your gamification. I'm here to learn from the best.
~ Prince Rennyn
I love all this.
Continue this, that game can be a number one in all world
What about the results of the quiz on how many packs would sell in 24h?
Should be announced pretty soon! The team received thousands of submissions.
@01:17:15 Aggroed just crushed the dreams of the players who were hoping to have a phallus-themed guild logo 😆
Great town hall. Keeping players informed is awesome. Another reason why Splinterlands is successfdul.
May the "spells" be with you.

Nice job on the summary - people are missing the great vibe of the team if they don't watch these sessions. I always feel blessed the team is always striving to be ultra professional and the excitement within the group is notable. Great things are about to happen in The Splinterverse.
Well said Draygyn! It feels weird seeing a handful of people talk in the townhalls these days, compared to just a few months ago where it used to be only Aggroed and Matt mainly!
Awesome update!
So at the moment, how many packs do u need to buy to get the next airdrop?
Can’t wait to see how the designs grow with new recruits
