RE: Splinterlands: Untamed - Info & Release Date
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Unlike previous exclusive cards, The Chain Golem will be part of the Untamed edition instead of the Promo edition, which means it will be subject to the same combine rates and DEC burn rates as the rest of the Untamed edition cards (details on that below)
Honestly this should have been communicated before people made their pledge. Chain golem not being part of promo reduces its value significantly. All cards from kickstarter have been promo so far so there was no reason for anyone to suspect otherwise.

We screwed up with the Chain Golem in that we gave away WAY too much value for too little money. As it stands, a max level standard foil Chain Golem will be worth about $10 and a 1 BCX Gold Foil Chain Golem about $40 - $50 just in DEC value, which you get as a bonus for the $200 contribution level which already contains over $200 worth of value to begin with. So it's really a crazy good deal for the backers, and we won't be making that mistake again in the future.
If we left it at promo card burn rates, then they would be worth nearly as much as the package price itself which we just absolutely cannot do.
We definitely should have thought this through more before adding the reward, and given away fewer cards at each contribution tier, but we did not so we will have to deal with the fact that we're giving away much more value than we planned to.
If you would like to cancel your contribution just let us know and we will issue a full refund.
Thanks for your reply. I don't intent to cancel my pledge. I stick to my commitments. I was just looking forward to promo card ranked battle bonus. Don't care about the monetary value that much instead battle value.
Byz brought this up in Discord, but in case you don't see it there, you actually promised a level 2 gold Chain Golem at $200, which is 2 bcx now. So moving it to Untamed doesn't actually solve a whole lot.
