More bang for your buck, pilots!
We're upping the rewards for participating in battles — win or lose!
Effective immediately, for all current and future battles listed in the Battle Commission or already underway:
Victory by default now earns 7,000 Credits, as opposed to 5,000 Credits.
Defeat by default now earns 3,000 Credits, as opposed to 1,000 Credits.
That’s a +2,000 Credit increase across the board for both outcomes!
This bonus will also affect team battles and multiple pilot battles going forward, such as Free-For-Alls, 2v2, 3v3, etc. Expect some revised numbers in the battle system document to reflect these new figures!
Note: In Regard To The Saturday Battle Bonus One slight downside with this update is, with these changes, Saturday battles will no longer award bonus payouts.
The Saturday Battle Bonus was a holdover from when the Server first opened up a few years ago, and during that time period, Standard battles were the norm (10 Minute Posting Time Limit), and Arena battles were the exception (2 Day Posting Time Limit). However, as our lives have gotten busier, and more and more folks are operating under different timezones, these figures have flipped. I hate to see it go. But we may try to bring it back down the road for Standard Battles only, or something like that - we'll see.
However, if your battle started on a Saturday and is currently in progress or is currently listed in the Commission and is going to start on a Saturday, you’ll be getting the best of both systems:
Winners will receive 10,000 Credits, Losers will still earn 3,000 Credits,
Let the battles continue — and may your wallets grow heavier!
