If you click where it says >> cancel << it will indeed unregister you from the jackpot battle;)

During the jack pot battle you will be participating in a completely different 'game play' then normal. Your ship will be sailing under the special skull and cross bones flag and your ship will be unable to target anything unless it is also sailing under the same flag. So you will not be able to target the towers, nor any other player or NPC ships unless they have that same flag.

The jackpot battles are pretty much like playing a different game altogehter... there is a prize of real money that is the targeted goal to win, and it is only given to one individual pirate (or in the case of the guild jackpot - to the guild) who gets the most points... so in the end it is every 'pirate' for themselves.



Jackpot BattleThe Jackpot Battle gives you double chances to win! As a solo player, you can break your own Jackpot – and whoever plays in a guild can also rake in the dough!

The battle begins on the last Saturday of the month and start at 14:00 and ends at 20:00 GMT+2

The battle will take place on the normal sea charts. All those who register for the Jackpot Battle will be displayed as Jackpot Battle players and will be identified on the maps in a different color. Players that compete in the Jackpot battle are marked with a skull:

Requirements for Participation

You must have reached at least Level 6 in the game!
To take part in the Guild Jackpot, each guild leader must activate his members for the battle (under „Guild“ – „Members“ please activate the desired members with a check mark). Only with this activation can the guild participate in the guild ranking.

The Goal

To collect as many ranking points as possible! The solo player winner breaks his jackpot with up to $10,000, the guild players win together up to $5,000!

How the Jackpot Battle Works

-All participating players will be marked as Jackpot Battle players on the map – on the mini-map they will be displayed in another color.
-There are special Jackpot Battle NPCs which can only be attacked by participants in the Jackpot Battle; these NPCs will fire back! Every attack on these NPCs brings points – the attacks as well as sinking the NPC.
-The number of points you have is based on the amount of hit points you destroy.
-Of course, you also fight against real opponents; namely against all the others who also registered for the Jackpot Battle. Important: During the Jackpot Battle, the participants are not able to be attacked by “normal“ players – they fight completely among themselves.
-During the Jackpot Battle, the object is to gain as many points in the ranking as possible. For each enemy or NPC hit point destroyed you receive 1 point. If you are attacked, you lose your hit points accordingly. Important: With every hit point lost, you lose 1 point in the ranking!
-If you get sunk, the Jackpot Battle is over for you – your lost hit points will be subtracted from your ranking points. The remaining points still count in the ranking until the Jackpot Battle is over. If you log out, your points also remain in the ranking – and you can continue the battle at any time within the duration of the jackpot battle game period.

Be aware: Lost hit points stay lost even after the end of the Jackpot Battle when the “normal” game continues.

In the ranking on the start page you can see how many points each Jackpot Battle participant has earned. In the future you will see a ranking for each participating player and an additional one for the guild.

As such you have double the chance to break your jackpot! As a solo player you can win – as before - your personal jackpot of up to $10,000. As a guild you can earn up to an additional $5,000 for guild account!

Who wins?

There will be a solo winner and a guild winner. For both win possibilities there are separate ranking lists.

-Solo Player Ranking: The player with the most points at the end of the battle wins.
Guild Ranking: The guild whose Jackpot Battle players during the battle have collected the most points – divided by the number of guild members – wins. Members expelled during the battle remain in the calculation. All guilds start the Jackpot Battle with 0 points. At the end, all points from guild members flow into the guild ranking and will be added together.

The Guild Jackpot! Go on a treasure hunt for your guild – and fill the guild jackpot with up to $5,000! Every pirate who collects the special Glitters (treasures) on the oceans of Seafight helps fill the guild’s treasure chest. All jackpot dollars hidden in the Glitters will be paid directly into the guild jackpot. If you go to battle with your guild in the next Jackpot Battle, you will have the chance to break the jackpot! If you win the Jackpot Battle as a guild, the guild jackpot will be paid out.

Note: If a pirate leaves his guild, he has no claim on the jackpot dollars he collected for the guild. They stay in the guild jackpot!

Ranking

On the start page you will find the current ranking of the Jackpot Battle – there is a solo player ranking and a guild ranking. Every hit point you destroy is worth 1 point; thanks to the rankings you will always be up to date, because the rankings will be updated every 15 minutes.

In addition, the ranking is a global – all charts from around the world included – ranking. It doesn’t matter where you fight the Jackpot Battle (whether on the global chart, on the English or American chart or on one of the foreign charts – the ranking unites all Jackpot Battle participants).

All this and much more information you can find in our Seafight bible (http://en.board.bigpoint.com/seafight/showthread.php?p=498502#post498502) ;)

Ahoy Pirate,
The Jackpot money you collect from the shineys is for you to build up. The only way that money comes into play is if you fight in the Jackpot Battle and win it. So really all the info in the above post you will need to know if you ever want the chance to cash in your Jackpot money.

I hope this has answered your question.



Thank You
