April 22–29, 2022

  1. What’s been done

    1. New reward distribution mechanics in Duck Wars. The lap duration will now be 24 hours. The prize pool remains the same, but individual rewadrs will be allocated according to the share of total wins per lap.

      • For example, if you made 100 wins in a round, and the total number of matches of all players was 1000, you will get 10% of the prize pool. If there are 10000 matches - you will get 1%. The Jeduck mantles will also affect the reward size, just like before. Payouts for each round round will be awarded after 13:00 (UTC) every day.

      • Commentary: Some of the visual changes haven't made it to production, but we'll fix it shortly. In this mechanics, we see the complexity associated with the fact that players on the one hand understand that they earn something, on the other hand, we can only specify the exact amount of reward at the end of the lap. **

        The current solution is to show all lap statistics after a win, including the current award estimate. We're open for the suggestions on how to improve this.
