Guild Wars 2

The outnumbered pip bonus is rather poorly designed at the moment. 4 minutes 50 seconds of hard work in an outnumbered map can be completely negated by people joining at the last 10 seconds.

I suggest that it takes the average number of people over the 5 minute period instead of the number of people at the 5 minute mark (unlink it from the Outnumbered buff).

For example, for every second, take
(total no. player in a server in the map) / 300
//(there are 300 seconds in 5 minutes)
and add it to the “total average count”. Then at a certain threshold, it deactivates the Outnumbered pip.

KISS principle. The tick is only 5 minutes. Yeah it’s frustrating, but I’d rather them focus on other items.

If we are focused on being outnumbered for less than 5 minutes, them the focus has shifted from what outnumbered really means.

lol, yes and on the other hand… we weren’t outnumbered last night at one point most of the way through … but in the last minute we got outnumbered and BAM… also got the extra pip for it. Works both ways.. gotta love it
