Father's Day 2022



[h2]Happy Father's Day, Hunters![/h2]

Events aren't exactly quick and easy to set up, so this year Fathers get the shoutout. Join us for a mission and 3 tiered comps in celebration of fatherhood, whether you are one, know one, or know someone who behaves like one, everyone is welcome to celebrate in the EHR. And share if you think Father's Day should be a real holiday, not stuck on a Sunday so people can pretend it is one. Like for the same to Mother's Day (wink)

Anyway, putting aside our shameless grab for media presence, there are no collectables for this event, but the scorer is male canines. Male Wolves, Coyotes, and both species of Fox will give you points for the campaign along with the mission and comps.

Participate for the prizes, the trophies, and the glory! The hunter with the most Pop$ at the end of June 21st will win a generous first prize.

But before you rush on, remember animals that spawn specifically for missions will no longer count as scorers. No exceptions.

In order to take part in the event, you will have to click on the big banner you will find in the Launcher (or Website) home page:



Please read on to familiarize yourself with the rules of the event.

CALENDAR


Event Duration: 7 days

Start: 15 June 2022 (Wednesday) - morning

End: 21 June 2022 (Tuesday) - 23.59 UTC



CAMPAIGN


The more Pop$ you collect, the more in-game prizes you are rewarded. Here's how to earn them:




This is how the prize pool looks:



MISSION


This year's mission is called Doc's Surprise

I don't think anyone will argue that Doc's like a father, reprimanding his children, handing out gm$ when he's in a good mood, and insisting everything is best done his way. So we thought we'd put together some gifts for him. He won't mind if it's all a little late, but make sure you deliver everything before the end of the event, okay? Lots to do to get everything ready. Get help from other hunters if you need to.



The mission will last through the event's duration from the 15th June to 21st June.



Completing it will earn the hunter the following rewards:



COMPETITIONS


The event comes with three competitions each lasting 3 days!

Prizes for the competitions look like this:



Completing each competition in any place (just qualify!) will also award the hunter 100 Chick$ points.

Each competition comes with 7 tiers based on your Hunter Score:



RULES


What would a game be without rules?

We have one simple rule for our events: No exploitation of existing game mechanics to gain an advantage. All winners' hunts will be checked by EW staff prior to prizes being rewarded, and the decision will be final.

In case of exploits usage, EW has a right to disqualify the player from this event.

SALES


We've got some tasty sales for this event in the Store, including a juicy 50% discount on some Callers as well as 30% off a variety of weapons.

That's all folks, any questions, feel free to post them below.

Enjoy all!

Game Update



Howdy hunters!

We've been tweaking the QoL again, and we think you'll be pretty happy with what we've done:

  • We've added a new mission UI into the game under Options (Press Esc and look at the menu tabs across the top of the screen). Also available by the default hotkey O (that's the letter, not the number). Yes, this means you now have access to your missions in-game without switching to the launcher or website.
  • The Community League's gotten an adjustment to its scoring system with the new season. Points are now awarded to the top 50 players each week, giving people who might fall out of the top 10 now and again a chance to recover.

Current point system to change as follows:

1st = 15pts
2nd = 14pts
3rd = 13pts
4th = 12pts
5th = 11pts
6th = 10pts
7th = 9pts
8th = 8pts
9th = 7pts
10th = 6pts
11-15th = 5pts
16-20th = 4pts
21-30th = 3pts
31-40th = 2pts
41-50th = 1pt

  • Changed the group spawns for Roosevelt Elks - the groups were homogenous, now they are more mixed for a more natural distribution.

That's all for now, but keep an eye out. We're always plotting new surprises for our players.

Happy Hunting!
