We have also made slight changes to the rewards, whereas it was "A small chance to get the new design from the Midgard Wyrm for the player who caused most damage", it is now "A big chance, it’s a “Taurus Bonus Map” and with a small chance, it’s the new design “Thor’s Hammer for the player who caused most damage.”
