[2020] Server Hotfix for July 29th and Contract Changes

This week the team has been heavily focused on making quality of life changes and adjustments based on your feedback. Thanks to everyone who has reported bugs, exploits, and shared their favorite moments from the game.

Today we pushed an update to improve regional server performance and to make some adjustments to Daily Contracts. We are changing the rates and requirements for contracts for two primary reasons:

• Based on our data they were rewarding a little more Reputation than we anticipated (oops, we goofed!)
• They were too similar in their requirements/rewards and we know we can do better! We plan to add more Contract types in the future.

A good example is the Daily Reward for eliminations, which was designed prior to the release of the Strikeout mode and was just too easy to achieve.

This is not the last time we will adjust contracts, and to be honest, there is a good chance this whole system will see significant redesign over time. Of course, we will not retroactively change progression and as always are interested in your feedback, so let us know what you think!
