Leaderboard Divisions

Dragon Lords,

This week [1/30/23 - 2/5/23] we are soft launching a new feature called Leaderboard Divisions.

Seasons Leaderboards have provided a new dimension of competition for players and provided new ways for players to earn cosmetic prizes. However, we noticed that the top finishers generally all come from the same population of players. To expand the level of competition and ability to earn more prizes, we are introducing Leaderboard Divisions.

Leaderboard divisions follow the same mechanics as seasons leaderboards: players receive seasonal points for earning event points and opening chests and those seasonal points confer prizing at the end of the season. The difference with Leaderboard Divisions is that players will be divided into 100-player “divisions” every season and compete within their division for prizing.

With Leaderboard Divisions, we are aiming to provide an extra level of competition and prize-earning potential for engaged players who may not be able to compete in the broader Seasons Leaderboards.

Since the soft launch is occurring mid-season, prizing for the first Leaderboard Divisions will be currency-based (gold chests, timers) to allow players to become comfortable with the feature. New, more exclusive, prizing will be available in Spring season.

*Please Note: Prizing accumulates every 5 minutes, so if you don’t see points increase immediately after opening chests or obtaining season points, rest assured that they will be counted.
