Last week, I dove into the full rules of Bountyfall and came across a big question mark. When I hit the official announcement section "Can I switch Unions?", I paused. Official wording: "Yes! You can switch between Unions anytime. Your first switch costs 50 $PIXEL using a Harvest Union Changer from the Hearth Halls Chamber Shop, with a 48-hour cooldown between changes." You can switch, the first time is 50 $PIXEL, and then there's a 48-hour cooldown between each switch. Then I went looking for the reward distribution rules: "Only contributing players will receive rewards. Rewards are distributed dynamically based on how much each player contributed during the Season." Rewards are dynamically distributed based on each player's contributions throughout the entire Season. I put these two statements together and thought of a problem: If I switch Unions halfway through the Season, where does my accumulated contribution from the original Union go? Does it count towards the original Union? That's essentially contributing to the competition. Does it count towards the new Union? That means the contribution attribution is decided by the final allegiance. Is everything reset? Then all the investments made before the switch evaporate in that moment. These questions have no answers in the official announcement. @Pixels I searched the Leaderboard rules for clues: "Your leaderboard position is determined by your participation throughout the Season, including deposits, sabotages, offerings, etc." But this sentence also doesn’t provide answers. I dare say the answer will become very specific as the Season approaches its end. But the officials only describe the freedom of switching with "anytime". The historical contribution attribution post-switch, the new Union's eligibility for rewards, and the logic behind the Leaderboard calculations ultimately determine how much "anytime" is worth to you. #pixel So, would you be willing to spend 50 $PIXEL for a switch with an unknown outcome?
