Potential Backlog For Splinterlands Dev Team
Minor Tasks:
- Add small icon to let players know they are in an active event that requires an action (Cryptomancer)¹
- Add DEC pegged value in marketplace so players have an ideal how much DEC would be required to buy a card, or how much they will receive if selling a card¹
- Add a new setting to allow players to change the sound volume¹
- Fix Hive Engine packs not being displayed properly
Bigger Tasks:
- Output more accurate error messaging and possibly include resources to alleviate the issue¹
Thanks for posting and a big thanks for the breakdown.

I listened to this today and it is really amazing how much is going on with this game right now. And it still feels like it's just getting started. There's an entire Guild update coming and the land hasn't even started yet and it's 30x'd. Almost 300k new users with 200k of them joining in the last 2 months. The train has definitely started to roll.
Thanks for the timestamps. Always very helpful since it was a long one today with aggroed staying late to answer questions.
Yeah Brawls v2 is going to be the next big update we are going to see and it is going to be awesome!
Since I had the time, I figured I'd try to add the timestamps to better guide people! Glad to hear it helps!
I'm really glad they gave us this season to adjust before they pay out the current level instead of the highest. Rental market is going crazy already.
This is great, thanks Bry!
Who is Neal? Is that YGG? Or someone else?
So much to look forward to....
Neal is one of the OG players I believe. He is known in the Discord server.
He has an alright collection: https://peakmonsters.com/@neal.cards/collection
😵
I guess.... if you enjoy not having to freak out because you don't have the right card for the situation.... poor guy.
When in doubt, buy more cards
But I'm always in doubt!
Excellent job once again mate. This is so valuable and really helps get the info out there. I always reblog these and post them in my guild!
So much effort. So much SPT upvote!
