Guild Wars 2

So After many many games I’ve noticed that the top stats are wrong.

Screenshot attached shows what I mean with kills/deaths.

The screenshot shows I died 1 time and had 6 kills.

With 6 kills it shows I was 10% of the game. so 60 kills happened in the game…
(crazy number for sure… Maybe it counts shared kills as individuals.. which is bs but a different topic and that might be my error but still makes this confusing.)

Well with 60x kills i died 1 time showing 4.1% of the game.. meaning 100% / 4.1% = 24.39 deaths total in the game… WTF!!! Not even close to 60 or an even number…

Is my math wrong? Not only is it showing a way off number of 60 kills but it’s not even a even number…

If there were 60 kills and i died 1 time it should be 1.6%.
(Or my death count percentage should equal an even 100 or so.)

Please let me know what you think. Maybe I’m wrong, but to be I don’t seem to be and they just have some bad testers/devs checking this stuff. Simple math is not hard..

well. your death is part or a ~24.39 death count if i were to take numbers at face value, but i’ll assume that not all deaths/ will be attributed to players if a beast does it or a fall,or a lord or npc finishes a player off. which might throw off the death kill ratio you are calculating.
kills won’t match deaths of course because you receive credit personally for partials or assists.

Well there are no lords/beasts/ect. Unless a treb counts lol.

I don’t claim to know how they count things.. but at face value it seems pretty bad/incorrect. It should show the raw numbers simple and clear and not require too much effort to know how much you or your teammates helped.

Thanks for your input though.

Well, only treb… I doubt that many fall deaths occurred in game… It must be the common core math… lol.
I think unless they want to look like complete buffoons it is time to release how stats are calculated.

Can’t argue there. Wish they would.

I just would like to know the math/truth.

Multiple people can partake in a kill. Only 1 is involved in a death. Still need to look at math for possible ranges.

Edit: there are 24 deaths. If the average amount of people involved in a kill was between 2 & 3 than you can get 60 kills with 24 deaths.

If you are correct that’s fine, but why make it so confusing to the user.

I would like to know the real math, and I would like even more for it to be straightforward since we don’t know other people’s stats.

Why make it shared if we don’t see theirs. Just confuses us and makes it far more complex than it needs to be.

Thanks for your input though. I do think you are correct in how the math is done, would like an official response but doubt they will.

Just seemed so far off for the numbers in the raw. Keep it simple.
