/v2/wvw/matches/#-# kills and deaths oddness
Web Programmer
I just pulled the kills/deaths for match 1-2 and they looked like this when I fetched them from the API:
"deaths": {
"red": 55369,
"blue": 49319,
"green": 51870
},
"kills": {
"red": 61143,
"blue": 49876,
"green": 37534
}
Using the above data, the total deaths with these counts is 156558, the total kills is 148553. The logic used on the map instance server for counting kills/deaths is detailed in this post — total deaths should always be higher than total kills.
It’s totally possible there’s another horrible bug with how the API interprets the counts from the map instance servers (last time it was including OS kills/deaths in the total counts); I don’t see the issue currently manifesting though.
Thanks for the explanation.
