Commissioner Beketov 9,126 Posted October 11, 2018 Commissioner Share Posted October 11, 2018 This isn’t anything major so it’ll be nice and quick. Starting in S63 we’ll be changing how we handle donations slightly. The new system will offer options without tying them to specific dollar increments so you can choose what rewards you want at each level. For the max level you still get an additional one as always. So, here’s how it will work now: $5: Pick One $10: Pick Two $15: Pick Three $20: Pick Four, can double any of the non-cash options (maximum of one option can be doubled) With the options to choose from being: Free Week (12 TPE Capped) $1M Player Store Cash 5 TPE Uncapped Doubles Week Like I said, not a major change but it allows for a little more flexibility and a free week becomes a proper free week. There is one caveat to mention as well. Previously we have been allowing doubles weeks and free weeks to be combined. This will henceforth no longer be the case. You can get both via a donation but you can no longer use them in combination. This change affects free and doubles weeks that are given out as well, not just ones via donations.

I was told people have been denied previously or else I would have done it.... lmao I'm assuming you're talking about the doubles/free combo. I was also told that I couldn't combine the two, so it being allowed in the past is news to me.

Gotta be unique. Also, the vagueness of it before is what led to the decision of taking an official stance. Some updaters would allow it and some would not. Now there’s a clear line saying it’s not allowed. Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/54134-minor-change-to-donations/#findComment-557233 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure you get the same amount of TPE but you don’t put in any of the effort for it. People also tended to stockpile the free weeks to be used when the league offered doubles weeks which are supposed to help increase activity. No increase if you’re just slapping a free week onto it. Plus yeah, there was no official stance on it so we wanted to make one. There will still be times when we offer actual doubles free weeks but we don’t want people simply buying them.

Wait is that a typo that says Free week is 12 tpe capped? Shouldn't that be 6?

Shouldn't that be 6? Not a typo, also a change. Donation free weeks will count as full weeks free rather than just a free PT. Unless otherwise stated other free weeks will use the old system but donation ones will offer full weeks.

Where in the old one you could only do it one time anyways with a free week + double week. Its actually a better gain in the new change.
