May 25th dragonZone features and updates

Post by dragonZone Guardian » 25 May 18 9:54 pm

The dragonZone forge has been quite busy of late, creating and crafting new enhancements to the game, and bringing a few new new dZ point bonuses.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You will now earn bonus dragonZone points finding valid dZ caches based on clan control:

A small bonus for finding a cache that your clan already CONTROLS.
A moderate bonus for finding a cache that your clan does NOT CONTROL.
A generous bonus for finding a cache that your clan did NOT CONTROL, but after your find your clan CONTROLS.*
A large bonus for finding or publishing a geocache in a zone that your clan did NOT control, but after your find or publication your clan CONTROLS.*

Any bonus points you earn can be viewed here: https://geocaching.com.au/my/dragonzone ... /yesterday

* The bonus applies ONLY to a change of control where the find alone creates the clan control change, not any additional dZ points that are allocated after the find.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The dragonZone zone page (ie: https://geocaching.com.au/zone/view/3476 for example) now has information summarising how many caches are controlled by which clan. This will mean a quick and visual indication of who controls what without having to list the caches and count colours.

This same information will also be displayed on the item deploy page (ie: https://geocaching.com.au/my/dragonzone/deploy/booster/ ). This will give a quick and visual indication as to how many caches you need to control a zone or whether your clan controls that zone.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the item deploy pages (ie: https://geocaching.com.au/my/dragonzone/deploy/booster/ ) there will be a new sort order drop down that will allow you to sort by:

Date Found (Newest or Oldest first)
Date Hidden (Newest or Oldest first)
Cache Code (Alphabetical or reverse alphabetical enabling TP to be separated from GA)
Name (Alphabetical or reverse alphabetical)
