    Would diminsihing returns effect pearls made from scroll maps? I did a Capricorn map and made no pearls from all 20 waves.

    Would it effect BP made too?

    Just a few days ago neither of these were affected by diminishing returns.

    Additionally, could you please provide forum post links to diminishing returns so that I can read them? (Including any update posts made after the original announcement for diminishing returns).

    I have been trying to understand the rules to it, but every post I have searched seems to reference an update made to the system; however, no links were provided as reading material for players to reference.

    hiya. as far as I know, bonus maps should not be affected by this as they are base rewards per map. I don't know if there is a problem with bonus maps in particular, if there is then you can always post your user ID so a moderator can check your account and report the issue if there is one.

    As far as I also know, diminishing returns does not affect battle points either. however, battle points has its own system, the higher the rank the person is above your rank in battle points, the more battle points you get for sinking that player. this is why some players may give you 5bp and others 35bp.

    As for the faq's about the diminishing returns and any recent updates made to the system:

    The FAQ's about the system can be found here: https://board-en.seafight.com/threads/diminishing-returns.173742/

    Furthermore, There was indeed a recent update made to the system: This Change was made on march 20th and is explained in the Patchday notes as the following:

    Improvement:
    We´ve adjusted the “Diminishing return” system once again:
    - Players can be on longer until they get less rewards
    - the bonus time (+10%) has been increased to 2 hours

    A link to the patchday notes thread can be found at the below link. simply look back to the date in question to find the post.

    Thank you! Hopefully hear back from a moderator then. A fellow guild mate of mine is also getting no pearls from bonus maps. Also, my logbook says you received 0 BP, but my BP goes up every time I sink someone.

    Diminishing returns does not effect Scroll reward either to the positive or the negative. And the BP issue has been forwarded.

    Recently there has been a change to the diminishing returns , however there was no official announcement. I can confirm however that battle points and bonus maps are being affected by diminishing returns.
