Splinterlands chaos legion goes fully live tomorrow.

The wait is over.

We have seen the previews.

We have saved up the vouchers.

We have even stocked up on those silly credits.

The waiting is over.

The months have passed.

The moment is upon us.

For all of those players without bottomless pockets we have waited a long time to reach this point.

So what do you do now???

We have had all the time in the world to prepare for this moment and personally, I'm still torn about what to do.

I will buy packs but it will be a lot less than I had originally planned. That was to buy 2k packs.

Now it just doesn't seem worth it with the loss of momentum of the game and the huge drop in card prices from previous highs.

The real question for now is how long will the packs last on general sale.

We had all thought that they would go on day one when we were riding high on the wave of new users but i think that figure will need to be scaled back a bit since the downturn.

A lot of our buying power has taken a hit with the price of DEC and SPS tanking over the past month and the crypto market in general taking a severe downturn.

All of these factors will make a dent on the overall sales figure for the game.

The big question is how confident are you in the games continued success over the next twelve months?



2022 is going to be even bigger.



I know that the game has hit a slump after the splinterlands team killed it's momentum with some of the recent rule changes but this is just a slump rather than an end in my opinion.

Like in any bear market, this is the time to consolidate and accumulate.

I have managed to pick up a few extra plots while cards were riding high and now it is the time to max out as many of the new cards as possible or hopefully all of them.

The cheapest way to do this will be to buy them straight from the market but the allure is always to chase those elusive gold foil legendaries.

As sensible as it is to just buy the cards that i need, it's just not as much fun as opening packs.

We are all gamblers in the crypto space and these are just another high for all of us to enjoy.

That's why I will still buy more packs as soon as the markets open tomorrow and roll the dice for those rare and elusive cards.

When the game goes viral at some stage next year and i think that it will.

We will look back on these prices the same way as we are doing with the beta cards now.

The only real question should be,

How many assets can I buy?

Rather than how many should i buy. This game is still the best thing across any of the chains and being based on Hive gives it a technological advantage over anything else that is being built right now.

It just keeps getting better and better so with the right tokenomics and a strong bit of marketing, we could see the numbers explode over the next year.



I'm very excited to see the numbers.



So how many packs will sell out in the first 24 hours?

Any guesses.

Closest number will get a free pack from me.
All guesses must be in before the market opens.
I assume that the team will releases the number public but i will try to find out if they don't.



Try for yourself.



If you haven't played the game before then now is the best time to join. Today is much better than tomorrow and a lot better than later.

Link to the game here,

Play Splinterlands here.



Until then we can just keep playing away and earning even more assets for free. What a time to be alive.

Hey again @niallon11 - following up from my noise.cash comment :-)

I essentially agree with your sentiment about the game's future: after having seen it has reached the 50k players threshold, we can consider it's a huge hit for a blockchain based game, and at the same time it's a drop in the ocean of possible new players, and a laughable figure compared to the ones of popular non blockchain games.

There's no doubt that the Splinterlands devs intuition and decisions will weight a lot in this ecosystem's fate, that's why I'm particularly interested in the recent rules changes you mention, that seem to not have been very inspired and thoughtful from the Team's part. I'm gonna look for some articles around that.

Hey @ijatz saw your comment on noise as well. Thanks for jumping in.

I'm very optimistic and even with the rule changes this sale is going to be a huge success. We will see a lot of new players and fresh momentum for the game.

It's still the top playtoearn game and has the most uses in blockchain so there is a lot to be positive about.

Agreed, @niallon11! I've just seen that there remains 8,330,410 Chaos Legion packs to be sold at the time of writing this comment, i.e. more than half of the 15 million total CL packs that are available, so I guess that the Splinterlands Team is disappointed by this short term result (the most "trending" question among Splinterlanders during the week before the general sale was: "Will all the CL packs sell the very first day?").

Nevertheless, I'd tend to think the way Ancient Greeks used to, lol: "We cannot say until he passed away if a man has lived a fulfilling life". Let's give Splinterlands another 5 or 6 years, the time for its Lands and Resources mechanisms to blossom, for a possible Virtual Reality version of the game to be crafted, and we'll have enough distance to judge in a balanced fashion.

Dude I am soooo waiting for one heck of a crazy day tomorrow. I'm curious how many packs are going to sell out in the first 24 hours. I know 1.5 million are already bulk bought.

It's going to be a massive boost for the game when people see how many packs get bought tomorrow. The FOMO will definitely kick in for a lot of people and probably see a lot of new users as well.

Discord is funny at the moment and seeing a lot of information going around. Will probably see 15 - 20 million in sales for just today. Those are huge numbers.

I can't wait for the packs to start selling but I am buying 500 packs with house money. So I plan on opening some and saving the rest for later. I don't think Chaos Legion will sell out that fast but the first few million packs should go by fast.

Solid plan. I'm doing the same thing myself going 50/50.
I don't think that they will sell out for a couple of weeks but i do think that we will see some big numbers today.

I was planning on doing 50/50 but I just don't have enough potions. I don't really feel like buying the potions so I might just gradually open packs over time.

I believe 2.7mil minimum in 24 hours (the total packs of ALL previous sets combined). But in their poll I said a higher amount, lol.

I think that this is a little on the low side but your guess is noted.

I'm thinking more like 5m

My number on the Splinterlands poll was 4.5mil, so similar to yours. :) But there weren't even 2.7mil in 24 hours. To that result contributed the credits loading issues and the general market sentiment, I believe. But it was a good day nonetheless. Certainly their best day ever.

Congrats on the guess and winning the pack @gadrian.
I'll send you one from my alt account. Is your username the same for the game?
