Top issues under investigation:
Kraken not dropping rewards
Dev note: While we continue investigating the root cause, we've implemented, Thursday 11th June, a temporary change aimed at improving reward distribution for Kraken encounters by removing the minimum contribution requirement. If you contributed to the fight, you should now receive rewards when the Kraken is defeated.
This is a temporary measure while we work toward a more accurate contribution-based reward system for World Events in the long term.
To note, some players may still encounter reward issues in specific situations, such as being sunk and rejoining the encounter shortly before the Kraken is defeated (within the final 80 seconds).
We're actively investigating the issue and will share further updates as we learn more
