As long as these guilds dont get more then 1-2m packs, I think it will be a nothing burger long run, if they take more than 5m packs, will be a riot with pitch forks i think.

ya but he is talking to around 8 and his guess is 2 million for them but now we get how many million from the current players pool also?

It's seems unfair to the community to change the rules in the middle of an event. Especially when large sums of $ are involved.

Hi Steve, thanks for the info and point of view. The packs were going to sell anyways, no one likes to be cut in front of the line but it is what it is I guess.
As with all things, everyone needs to set their own line as to what they'll tolerate and how long "good will" lasts.
For now, I joined Discord. Looking forward to join the pool!

cool details are still to come as a lot of stuff is up in the air and we ar at leat a month and half from the general sale

T think somehow it unfair for small player, but if it help get more player than maybe it worth it.
@eman13088

ya, it seemed that way to me at first but now they just have to be willing to trust a pool if they want the same advantage.

i don't know it is a touchy subject. pools worked out ok for the land sale and they did it because first presale was a bit of a disaster.
we will see how it will all work out.

Ya I know more smaller players are in my telegram and stuff and they did not like it but I think it will work out okay now

Good explanation on the pros and cons of the pre-general sale. I'm not too upset about it, as long as there are still plenty of packs available after all the big guilds and pools get theirs. I suppose if I had been selling all my vouchers to raise money to buy more packs in the general sale I might feel differently, but I didn't.

Thanks man

I'm just glad there are people willing to do pools with the new general sale. Thanks for the insight steve. Loved the vid

If there was no private general sale, pools could have been avoided. Will be subject to scams too but hoping reputable people will organize it. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the Youtube video, Steve.

I think this is another decision that will box out and prevent new and smaller players like myself from really getting into the game. The packs are going to sell out, and I'm guessing very quickly. So why not give all players, most of whom are willing to pay retail price, a chance to get in on the action. I think letting newer players get a taste for building a deck of their own will go a longer way to gaining long term loyalty, rather than make them rent to success with cards that only temporary.

I'm hoping I'm wrong though. I'm hoping the packs don't sellout immediately and I have a chance to pick up a few packs and not pay an exorbitant mark up. We'll see soon enough.

thanks steve for the giveaway..it's my first win in giveaway..and i'm so happy..
btw i'm the one that wrote the post to pitch the idea on general sales in your telegram..and you helped me to upvote..

https://peakd.com/splinterlands/@chinzilla/thoughts-about-general-sales-for-chaos-legion-and-how-we-can-improve-it

for those players of splinterlands and think we can do the general sales better..pls read my idea and help upvote to spread awareness.

Good to know it is not private sale and anyone can join in pools. Thanks for these info.

Nice video. Well explained about the pre-general sale

Appreciate the balanced view, there's still something that feels 'wrong' about it and against the main population of players. Keep us upto date with the pools. Cheers @instamental

Watched your vid and I think it's great that completely new players can get in on the action (so to speak)👍

i did the pool think with marcus too - all went very smooth and got all my cards + bonus packs

and the caad tokens seem to be pretty spendy at the moment ;)

i'm not sure about the presale thing - sounds kinda like little guy gets screwed - we'll just have to see how it goes

One away on the wheel for the second week in a row, maybe I shouldn't have been so enthusiastic about being able to watch the spins. :P

Glad you're covering both the presale and general sale updates. The thing about the general sale is, lots of people thought they'd sell out same day anyway. By the time the final phase of general sale happens, the percentage of accounts that had access to $2 Untamed Packs will be very low, I think it's about 2% of accounts at the moment and that number is only going to get lower. Not all accounts are owned by a unique human, but the demand will definitely be 10 times the demand for Untamed packs.

Thanks for spreading this! I joined the pool after watching your video :D

thanks for the info

Guild or without guild, those packs will get sold out. We have to wait and see. Do note that this is 15m supply over 2 usd per pack. I just hope those guild are here for playing and not only for investing or screwing the players.

@stever82
I am OK even if all of The CHAOS LEGION Packs Sell Out within the First Month they are Available........
That Means we Will Get the Dev Team working on the Next Packs..............

Can't TOUCH This..........

I still have the feeling that this could play out different than most gamers expect.
If there are multiple Guilds then 8mil$ is not much to invest.
As i read it Guilds who will potentially bring new players can skip the line and have higher priority.

Great video discussing the general sale. I am keen to start one for just so to be able to get my hands on some packs that are not overly inflated. Any idea who to contact and how the process works? Still pretty new to the whole Splinterlands environment having only played this for around 5 months.

Also disliking the semi-private sale...
But maybe a pool is the way to go to circumvent that I guess

I understand aggroed's point of view and was never really against it. Especially since his current projections are for about 2mil in those sales and not the whole 12mil that will be allocated to the general sale. I've been making plans accordingly.

I personally don't like the idea of joining a pool because I'd have to relinquish airdrop chances to someone else and the current choices for remedy is either over pay or take value of. I don't want either, I want airdropped cards. That's just me and the way I think about it though.

Hi Steve ,just started splinterlands few days ago ,i think i missed out the chaos legion pre sale already ,subbed and will check out ur channel to see anything will help me throught this game and wow those guild thanks for the info btw.

PLEASE! I have no money to buy even 1 presale pack.
@jhuleader

I'm glad the guilds will be taking part in the public sale and am very curious as to how quickly it will sell and if SPS / Voucher prices will go up even more with players trying to get as many packs as possible before the general sale. SPS demand seems to be dropping though as I think the bigger players have the packs that they need now and are selling their SPS which is nice if you are looking to buy some SPS.

I have faith in the Splinterlands team.

its unfair for small players :( like me

thnx for the video! looks like there isn't going to be a private sale after all :)

The part about vouchers price falling down, I really hope you are right on that one :)

A perspective from a long term invested, maverick player on the updates of the presale and general sale of CL packs.

It's really important to get as many different perspective on the news as possible if you want to help your overall Splinterlands strategy!

I've shared this in the Yield Guild Games Splinterlands Discord community.

Thanks for sharing! - @cieliss

Eager to learn more about the details of the voucherless sale... Not sure I like the idea, but we'll see how it goes.

Thanks for this video! Glad to learn more about what's going on in Splinterlands

Good stuff! I'm looking forward to finding out the stats of the new Chaos cars!

On behalf of @mmunited because I am not using this account to play splinterlands.

You said token name is Cad or maybe cat.
You need to trust a pool. That mean we need to invest or buy tokens for that pool.
After that we will get airdrop cards as we buy using vouchers.
We can also buy with the price 4$ per pack. Maybe less than this.

So how much is the price for this token. 4$? Maybe more I think.

I will be waiting for your updates. Thanks.

Have a slice of !PIZZA.
