New Island mechanics

Right now the way islands work is simple. You kill certain enemies you get certain drops. For example if you kill a bunch of pirates, you get pirate related booty.

On Tuesday this will be changed so you get loot based on what’s on the island, not what you kill. My question: Will you get loot from invasion events even if they don’t trigger? For example if fire elementals invade an island, can we get loot from them even if we finish before the event starts?

Right now Invasion events are a major pain to trigger and usually involve waiting around which is what causes a lot of the frustrations.

In Tides of Vengeance, we’ve changed how invasions occur. The invaders will now always show up, even if you’re beating the enemy team by a lot.

As a result of the invasions always happening, you will always get the loot potential of the invasion.
