Guild Wars 2

So, I’m wondering if anyone knows how guild influence is actually calculated? Because it seems rather… erratic right now. Is there a secret logic to it that I just don’t get? Is it not working correctly, or is it just, like, a Math.Random function?

So. The other night our guild, which has been saving up for a guild stash, is sitting at an agonizing 999 influence. The following morning, according to the history log, we’ve received 70 influence for member logins over night. This puts our grand total at 1007 influence (because, you know, 999 + 70 = 1007). Great, we queue up the guild stash and are now sitting at 7 influence. So far so good. Later that morning, we receive 4 influence from various events, so now we’re at 21 influence. 7 + 4 = 21.

Maybe I just don’t get the whole ‘addition’ thing.

Lolz. Yep, I noticed the same thing. I think the logs are just delayed and the computation adjusts accordingly over time. ^^ I haven’t bothered to keep close track of it tho, you may want to and share your result with us.

Just make sure as many members as possible log in every day, keep doing events and that influence will be increasing steadily. Don’t bother calculating, just roll with it xD
