We have changed the way we gave DKP from last raid; this has been done for several reasons like to save the time it takes to update it.

The on time/to end time bonus has been removed, instead we have raised the pr hour DKP slightly.

On top of that we don’t give + DKP in adjustments like we did previously, so all DKP you get from a raid is shown under the raid as the raid value, on you characters details page it will be shown as Earned DKP.

Now that we have onyxia on farm status the way we raid has changed slightly, instead of doing onyxia and mc separately, they are now integrated into a combined raid, and because of that, the DKP earned will always be shown at the last "raid" (most likely mc), like in the previous raid, all got 17 DKP for the raid if they were there the whole time ( ~18 - ~ 23 ), because I round up, its from 18 ( start time is the only thing round down ) to 23 (was 22:20) = 5 hours.

So if you only joined for the mc part you would still earn 17 DKP for the whole raid, but I will make a – DKP adjustment for the amount of time you wasn’t there.

This might sound confusing, so let’s take some real world examples from the previous raid:

Farmer: Joined: 18:13 Left: 22:20
= 5 Hours raid time (round up to the next hour) = 17 DKP (highest possible DKP for the raid)

Djidelog: Joined: 18:08 Left: 20:45
= 17 DKP – (20:45 -> 22:20, both round up so basically 21-23) = (3 Hours not there = 9 DKP)
He will get a -9 DKP adjustment for the 3 hours not there so ends up earning (17-9) = 8 DKP total

-----

Then we have the part where people didn’t understand we don’t want spam/chat in the channels, some people would have gotten –DKP for the raid if we was strict on the rule this first time so we have agreed to set a limit of -5 DKP this raid, even if you broke it more than 5 times, this is however only in this raid that limit applied, in the next it will be -1 DKP even if you end up with -20 DKP for spamming.

If you see your missing DKP, leave a private message on the forum, please dont ask questions ingame if you can see iam currently in an instance ( /who csharp ).

I can miss someones DKP, the reason is CT_Raidtracker sometimes shows "Unknow Indentity" for 1 member.
