Am I the only one that realised that it's clearly not half the rank rewards, its like halved and then halved again.
My breakdown is like this
to achieve rank 18 as I did
Old system was like
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 kegs or something like that maybe even more and you got those from which you already surpassed the rank for. (if I remember these rewards correctly)
Then end of season was your rank = n - 1
New system was like
2,2,3 at rank levels 13,16 and 18 respectively
season end 9 (rank = n/2)
So now I achieve 18 kegs over one month instead of 36+17=~53 kegs over two months.
Then not to imagine these scrap and meteorite powder values but I assume these are much lower and I don't expect to hit the same rank within a month so these values are already skewed.
But then I also consider that questing is a new form of reward to counterbalance this equation. But I only play casually enough to hit maybe 5 extra kegs per month from these quest rewards and sometimes I get a tricky quest like win 5 games with NR (my win ratio with NR is ~25% compared to with my best factions ~60-70%). I am simply better off leaving the quest in some cases to achieve the overall daily 6/18 round reward and I only do these quests so that I don't get 3 quests built up that are difficult to finish, thus bricking my quest pool.
