Q:

I am trying to figure out how the point system works. I understand the points per 15min. However I do not understand how a server can go from 4k points to 9k points in difference in a matter of four hours. As I understand the points:

+5 pnts per Supply Depot
+10 pnts per Tower
+25 pnts per Keep
+35 pnts for Stone Mist

These are abundantly clear as there are tool tips on the WvW Stats and Bonuses window. I mean, do we also get points for killing the Dolyaks, Invaders, Special NPCs, etc? Would like to know what the other points are and for what. If this information is available on the Wiki, I was unable to locate it.

Thanks

EDIT: Do not focus on the main points gotten (ie from the above mentioned keeps, towers, camps and castle), I am looking for the other ways to get points in WvWvW.

If you control 300 pts worth of stuff, it is 1.2k income/hour. 4 hrs is aprroximately 5k pts. Not sure what you are having trouble imagining.

You get points for those “claim for your world” spots guarded by an NPC. You alsohget points for killing Dolyaks. The closer to their final destination the more points you get for killing it. Otherwise yeah, holding 300ish ppt is enough for that kind of point gain in 4 hours.

In this case, the server had 240 pnts per 15 mins. The points are pretty even. 240, 230 and 225. Though that is approx. and the more recent was about the same when I posted the question.

Holding Enemy BL and your own BL completely, 145 points for you times two. 4 Tallies in an hour gives 1160 points per hour. If we assume rest of the maps are divided equaly, that´s 1160 points difference per hour. Four hours would give 4640 points difference in matter of four hours.

Add to that points from dolyak kills and sentries(1 point per veteran, dolyaks vary), extra income if rest of the map is also not equaly divided…5k increase in difference isn´t hard to do.

Maximum difference per hour would be 2780 points, 11120 points in four hours.

Most likely they flip the camps for tally. That can net a nice amount of points difference, and can be gone before you notice.

So far, the focus is on the points that are gained for capping/owning camps, towers and keeps. What are the OTHER ways to get points? So far there have been only two people that have responded to that portion of the question. These points are:

1 point per veteran killed
Variable points for Dolyaks
Points for capping the guard points (?)

It is obvious that there are other ways to get points, otherwise we would not have scores that do not end in a 5 or 0.

I am unaware of any points for killing Yaks. Can anyone confirm or deny this? The sentries give 1 point total to the score, so not accumulating.

I was on tonight, and checking the points as I killed the Veteran Guild Claiming rep, and got no points. Same with the Dolyaks… no points while they were in the supply camp.
