💥 Company Updates 💥

Tuesday Release Update with Investygator

SPS Staking Multiplier for Ranked Battle Rewards

Collection power requirements for advancing to higher leagues have been removed! Instead there will be a reward multiplier based on the amount of staked Splintershard tokens (SPS) the winning player has, including both staked SPS that they own and staked SPS that has been delegated to them.

For full details of this change, see the announcement post here.

To assist with this change and to provide players another method of increasing their staked SPS, a SPS Rental Market has also been introduced.

Behold, a new market!

A new market has been added for renting staked SPS delegations. This market operates via a bid system, where you can place a bid asking for an amount of SPS to be delegated for a certain amount of Dark Energy Crystals (DEC) or Credits.

All rentals on this new market are for a one week duration and cannot be removed early.
Note: All delegations need to be removed manually after the rental duration has ended with this initial release.

Riftwatchers for DEC

As per the recently passed DAO proposal, Rifwatcher packs will now be priced at 5000 DEC instead of $5 USD worth of SPS.

Tech Modernization

Fixed an issue with the display of BCX sum calculations on the new Card Market and Collection that was showing incorrect values for some older sets.

Filter selections now persist between the Market and Collection.

Gladiator Cards now appear under Modern on the new Market and Collection, and not just Wild.

Made some spacing tweaks on the card details page.

Fixed an issue where some older sets did not properly display partial level advancement on the card image when they are selected.

The Wild icon now defaults as highlighted, since that is the default selection. This also is the default selection on a filter reset.

General Updates

Per this passed DAO proposal, all market transactions will now have a set 6% fee. 4% of this fee will go to the market that the sale took place on, while 2% will be burned to reduce the Dark Energy Crystal total supply.

The Nightmare Pack sale has ended, and they are no longer available for sale from the Shop. They can still be found on the non-card market.

The Welcome Back page has been updated with a link to these notes!

Unstaking tokens and cancelling unstaking tokens now requires Active Key authority.

The way initial rental payments are handled has been updated to function like all other market transactions. The owner of the card will now receive the full amount of DEC, and then fees will be deducted - as opposed to the renter paying/seeing the fees on their end.

Added a link to the SplinterLore site in the footer of the pages!

Items Hotfixed into the Game Prior to the Release

Fixed an issue with Credits costs calculating/displaying incorrectly on the Market (shortly after the last update).

Fixed an issue with Untamed Cards not appearing when the Modern filter is selected.

Fixed an issue with Untamed Cards not appearing as the proper level on the Market and Collection.

Fixed an issue with Cooldown tooltips not appearing on the Market and Collection.

Fixed an issue with the top bar of the Market floating incorrectly on some browsers.

Fixed an issue with the season reward claim button not appearing under specific conditions.

Added a Nightmare Pack Icon on Hive Engine & fixed the broken icons for other packs.
