  1. There's a bit of controversy in my guild over this statement..

    "Will there be an event ship?


    * An event ship can be bought in the shop from April 3, 2014 to April 16, 2014. After successfully completing the event maps “Dragon Tango“ and “Fire of the Dragon“, you will be granted a rebate on the purchase price of the ship. In the end, you could receive up to a 100% rebate on the ship and therefore not have to spend any diamonds to buy the ship!"


    Now, if you buy the ship before you have a 100% off DISCOUNT from completing the daily bonus map, do you receive a REBATE for purchasing the ship? Another theory is that completing the daily bonus map after you've bought the ship would return some of the diamonds from what you purchased the ship for.

    dis·count
    noun
    ˈdiskount/
    1. 1.
      a deduction from the usual cost of something, typically given for prompt or advance payment or to a special category of buyers.
      "many stores will offer a discount on bulk purchases"
      synonyms:reduction, deduction, markdown, price cut, cut, rebate More
    verb
    ˈdiskount,disˈkount/
    1. 1.
      deduct an amount from (the usual price of something).
      "current users qualify for a discounted price"
      synonyms:deduct, take off, rebate;
    re·bate1
    noun
    ˈrēˌbāt/
    1. 1.
      a partial refund to someone who has paid too much money for tax, rent, or a utility.
      synonyms:refund, partial refund, repayment; More
    verb
    ˈrēˌbāt,riˈbāt/
    1. 1.
      pay back (such a sum of money).



    As you can see, the difference between DISCOUNT and REBATE and how that statement is worded, would change things drastically.

    I am sorry for any confusion but, if you complete the daily Bonus Map for the day you will receive a 10% discount for the current event items, you will keep your discount all the time the event is running, but, As Soon as the ship is bought you will only receive the discount you have already accumulated. If you go to continue to do the Bonus Maps after buying the ship then no, you will not receive any diamonds back as a "refund"

    More information on the Dragon Hunt event can be found in the FAQ for this event which can be found by clicking Here.

    Is there anything else i can help you with?
     
  3. That's what I thought. After doing some research, I found that the German word for discount is "Rebatt". I think there may have been a translation issue because of it's similarity the English word Rebate.

    The wording needs to be changed, because, how it's currently written, you should be receiving diamonds back after purchase, instead of a discount before purchase.
