Outpost Storm should be worth more

For a victory in PvP mode Outpost Storm there will be in the future 100 Shadow Shards and for a defeat 50. The shards are important for the endgame because you use them to upgrade your equipment. There are faction tokens as a reward for participating, and there is also a chance of receiving a fourth item from the reward chest.
