No PP for breaking losing streak of 5

Izz · 01-04-2019, 02:44 PM

Hi guys

I (username: Izz001) broke a losing a streak of 5 today, as per attachment, but didn't receive any PP for it. Am wondering if the off day plus that it stretched from the final day of yesterday's sim to today might have a bearing.

Checked through my transaction history, too, and couldn't see any PP for the broken streak.

Thanks!

Happened again...

Finished yesterday's sim on a losing streak of 5. Lost 2 more today before breaking streak. No PP. Really feel like it's related to the streak crossing over sim days.

Are you sure points are given for breaking a 5 game skid? I know I've gotten points for 8 and 9 game losing streaks, but I don't recall if 5 has ever been a thing. If it is, than I should've gotten some points for breaking a 5 gamer today as well.

You definitely should've gotten something for the 7 game skid that crossed over sim days.

Yep, 5 is definitely a thing. 100 (bronze) for breaking 5-9 game losing streak, 250 (silver) for breaking 10+ game losing streaks, and there's a gold one too, for breaking 15+ i think, but I'm not sure how much that is worth.

Sadly, this season I've had 6 losing streaks of 5+ games.

Gotcha, must be a bug with the losing streak payouts then.
I've had 2 or 3 five gamers this season as well.

This makes me wonder whether they did this by design? I just sifted through my transaction log and found six payouts for ending a losing streak, but I did not get one for the most recent string of five losses.

I went back and checked mine as well, and I had two separate 5 game losing streaks this season and didn't get a payout for either. You may be correct that they changed it by design.

Izz · 01-05-2019, 08:07 PM

Yep, maybe so. Just had another 5-game losing streak (every game lost by 2 runs of less - grrrr!) and once again no payout.

Just today I had a losing streak of 5 snapped and got the points for it.

ElementalKnight · 01-06-2019, 06:28 AM

I had a losing streak of 7 snapped today that got me points. I also had two additional losing streaks of 6 games, and neither gave me points. That makes it appear like they changed it, but if you got points for a 5 game losing streak today, then that's certainly odd.

We have made a change that losing streaks will only pay once per season, so you don't get credit for them multiple times. I didn't realize that was already updated on the server, or we would have mentioned it already (there's a new patch mentioning it where that will be listed there).

Thanks Matt

So if you have a 5 game losing streak and get credit for it, then have a longer losing streak worth more points, you won't get credit for that one? In other words, make sure to have your longest losing streak 1st, then?

No, you can still get one of "each" losing streak, but if you have 4 different 5-9 game losing streaks, only the first will pay.
