War games rewards

[echo sapphire]

Ive been given the incorrect bracket reward for one of the war games.

[ripe jacinth]

I had this too, but on my alt where I failed to kill it so unsure where the error lies

I can assure that rewards given to you at the end of events are correct. However, there are some UI issues that we will have to fix to display ranks correctly, like @ripe jacinth mentioned above.

[ripe jacinth]

It's probably mostly just that only 30 ish people managed to actually accomplish the challenge and everyone else got a default time

[vernal veldt]

Yeah, but what should that reward be if we all tied? Should some people get the better reward just bc they did the event earlier?

[atomic walrus]

Yes.

[ripe jacinth]

I think it might be better to treat a totally failed attempt as a non entry (i.e. if you score 0 or otherwise fail to do the task at all)

If e.g. 200 people all score the same score, it's fine to stratify by how fast they achieved it but if everyone just failed I think they shouldn't count

[atomic walrus]

that only addresses the issue for ppl who score 0, but the actual problem here is about ties in any score

plus here we want to be able to reward players for participating

not just for scoring

so their attempt always needs to count as minimum score

[ripe jacinth]

Hmmm, I agree that both being first to succeed and attempting (even with failure) should be rewarded I don't think it makes sense to reward whoever happens to be online at 1201 server time for failing an attempt though

[atomic walrus]

But its not really about rewarding but more as a tie-breaker, as there's nothing else that we can use that's supported by the system to serve as one

Anything else that can be used is worse

[ripe jacinth]

Can you make it so that the minimum score (only) is always rewarded with the participation prize, regardless of nominal time rank?

[atomic walrus]

technically yes, design wise no. We would like to keep in line with the ranking system to avoid confusion

[ripe jacinth]

I'm looking forward to my top 50 ribbon, then 🙂

@runic tundra So there's a bug in regards to how fire damage is calculated here. We've updated your score to the correct one but unfortunately as the issue can only be fixed via a client update, I would implore that you do not run the wargame event again until the next update(as there's a chance you may get the same issue again and we would have to update your score again). As compensation I will reward you with some starbux as well as the Bug Hunter pin.

[runic tundra]

ok thanks

I have also just had the incorrect damage Bug happen to me. IGN Drakeesh

please let this be the instigator to implement server side replay verification for all entries in the top 20 or top 100.
there have been way too many questionable players / results

[vernal veldt]

You mean only 25 ships beating the missile ship, but somehow one did it in 20 seconds?

[dense pilot]

i have reported multiple ships, some in the 4k region, beating endgame players nearly perfect results. There is definitely either some cheating going around, or more bugs.
The best way to be sure is to have the server verify the results. So any abnormally high results are sure to either be legit or because of a bug
