Guild Wars 2

Sorry I was not clear enough, The first question was aimed at the start of the match

ie, server A dominates the Reset NA primetimes hours. Server B dominates the non NA primetime hours.

Server B does a 100% blackout for the first 5 hrs post reset, then comes in and captures ALL the high value holdings. Would that work or is it mathematically impossible to do better than the worst you could do by playing and losing during the first 5 hrs.

Question two was simply, is the 24 hr period at the end of the match going to be worth more or less total points than it is now.

Thanks, I am pretty happy with how your proposed system works over the week just each end seemed interesting.

ok for your first one, keep in mind I did this months ago, Server B if they did that would be at a disadvantage, they would catch up in score but not surpass server A. I would estimate without running it yet they would get 40% of server A’s score (assuming server C is consistent).

second question – the end of the matchup is potentially worth more as their is the potential for more bonus points to be available. This may or may not be true however depending on where the cache’s of bonus points are. For example if all keeps changed hands on Wednesday, by reset there wouldn’t be as many bonus points available. This has to be true to allow less lame duck situations. While Thurs right before reset can be worth more than Thurs Morning, Thursday morning can take a lot of the available points off the map. Don’t know if explained that well.
