DEC Batteries Sale Coming in Less Than a Week

avatar

I'm sure most people involved in Splinterlands know what DEC Batteries will be and have already seen the sale page:

It came with the new DEC dashboard on modernized tech and was updated during the last maintenance window this Tuesday.

So, it looks like DEC batteries went ahead on the website (as approved by the DAO vote), despite a SPS DAO proposal being rejected at the last minute about their first use case:

Regarding the Land Survey "Potions" proposal, I admit I was one of the SPS stakeholders who voted For it until the last few hours, because I will most definitely make those expenses and 20% off is 20% off, regardless of how you put it, from this perspective.

However, I agreed with some of the arguments against the proposal (not to mention the last town hall revealed a host of expenses to be expected for holding land, if you want it productive), and after seeing the tone during the Town Hall and the openness toward a "sweetened" deal, including some potential options (like the one that this presale would offer benefits early in upgrading your land buildings), I changed my vote. Enough others did that, and so, from a passing proposal it turned into a failed one.

And now, we are facing an interesting situation.

We are less than a week until the sale for DEC-B begins (and probably ends), and we don't have clarity about its usage on land.

Since the proposal was rejected, we don't even know if DEC-B could be used to improve survey chances or not (I assume the land survey "potions" will still exist either way), and if we get a sweetened deal or not, after all.

I hope this subject gets clarified by or at the next Town Hall so that people can have informed decisions for the DEC-B sale, on Wednesday, February 8th.

Yes. The Land Survey "Potions" proposal, its first use case wasn't, mainly because it was suggested a better deal could be offered.

I'm unsure what will land actually bring to the game?

Basically, it's an entirely different game. At some point in the future (think years), the products of land (items and spells) will be integrated into the battle system. Those who produce them can sell them to those who don't have them, which is the majority of players.

Splinterlands is an entire ecosystem by itself. And only growing.

It indeed all is getting pretty complicated. I do know and understand that they want to generate revenue to keep on investing into the game, but by some choices they made, I do fear that they are pushing away some die hard players.

Also, I do think that the soul bound reward cards could have a negative impact on SPS. If you do want to cash some earning, this is the only thing you could sell. This could flood the market.

I am getting more bullish about the new developments and plans.

I am also bullish about SPS, despite the potential selling pressure coming to replace the constant selling of reward cards.

DEC-B was voted FOR. Land survey potions were voted against. Still waiting for a better proposal to replace the failed one.

yeah pretty silly really. Not seeing too much of a reason as to why I would want to lock any up yet.

Yeah, I'd want some clarification before the sale begins. Survey potions, if they are still on the agenda, should be in Q1. And 20% off is ok, but an additional 'startup kit' for land as it was described would be better.

I hope this would be very help for Splinter lands ecosystem, but i think they should stop introducing too much thing, this will make the users mind puzzled.

Yes, Splinterlands is continuously changing. I expect, if someone takes a one-year break, it would not recognize the game anymore, no matter when the break takes place.

I don't really have land so I don't think I will be bothering with DEC-B but I do think that DEC-B will require some more use cases if we want it to lock in a lot of DEC. They are gamifying time but I think it's going to be a huge money sink.

Yeah, there is a lot more gamification of time in the land expansion. Aggroed even threw the idea of a different token for time in the town hall, but was quickly reminded what the reaction will be: "not another token!" :)

Thanks for the insight. I've seen the batteries but I don't know what they are good for. Seems like I'm not the only one!

Found this post on Listnerds. 😊

They'll have their use cases, but to me, one use case was interesting RIGHT NOW, and that was rejected through the proposal, and not sure if a different proposal will be made and passed instead or not.

Thanks, John. Well, I was kind of expecting for more details myself. Looks like most people are ignoring this, after the proposal failed.
