However, members cannot change their participation status from Yes to No after the Node War starts.
- Members can change their participation status to Yes if the maximum number of participants has not been reached. (However, a fort must be constructed.)
- e.g.) Your guild is participating in a Node War where up to 40 members can participate. However, only 20 members have their status as ‘Yes’ by the time Node War started. Then up to 20 more members that have their status as ‘No’ can change it to ‘Yes’ and fight in the war if there is a constructed fort. (Members can change their status from ‘No’ to ‘Yes’ even after the Node War starts.)
- Members that fought in the Node War can click the ‘Participation Reward’ button to collect their personal rewards. (The Node War that you participated in must end before you can collect the rewards.)
e.g.) There must be a winner or the node must be liberated before you can collect your rewards.
- You cannot apply to participate in the next Node War if you have not collected your rewards. (You are able to apply for the next Node War if you collected your rewards.)
