Guild Wars 2

Id like to know if the math is tweaked if so then by how much???

looks like they made some minor changes to the maths. according to millenium Elona was suppose to remain in t1 but they dropped down to tier 2. That surprised me alot since im on Desolation server.

Probably not as much as it surprised us – can you imagine the confusion on our TS after reset? :P

People troll millenium…

Look at T3. TC has had 400+ points for 3 hours now, but it shows that we are remarkably low.

It’s just people trolling that site, so don’t put too much trust on it.

it has always been a very reliable site, i still think Anet has made some changes.. an official confirmation would be appreciated.

.. an official confirmation would be appreciated.

Good luck with that. And if they do confirm anything, it will probably be on some social networking site you never heard of instead of their own official forums.

LOL i dont want to imagine :P. Even us, we were confused.

You will know if something changed if SF leave T8.

Yeah, right, after all, they did not confirm anything about the past ratings in this forum, beside the actual formula and parameters, a link to the documentation of the system, weekly updated scores, and a lengthy post by designer Habib Loew explaining the whole system. So, given that history, you better expect nothing from ANet.

\sarcasm.

You mean like they confirmed the map population cap numbers after several hundred forum posts asking for it?? What were those numbers again?

Or maybe like they confirmed the actual (I mean ACTUAL) despawn times for various siege in different situations after several hundred posts pointing out that 30 minutes isn’t the number??

Or maybe you mean how the most detailed prefaces for the upcoming WvW patch have been somewhere on these official forums instead of contained within interviews hosted by third party fan sites?

Got it … my mistake.

Those numbers have actually been known well before this forum has been started. They aimed for at least 500 players per map, one third per server, so the cap should be somewhere around 130-140 players per server. However, I assume they tweak this number regularly as they update the engine to guarantee server performance, so I guess it will be hard to state a precise and universally correct number.

Yes, I remember that well. They answered the question on the first page of this thread. Although I think their system might be bugged, since I regularly perceive a different behavior than the intended 30 minutes.

I am pretty sure they they will post the update notes first in this forum, as they always have. I am sure that there will also be a fancy webpage. But this is future stuff, and I am pretty sure they haven’t fixed all the details yet. So what details you are actually missing?

No problem, you are welcome. I am here to help.

LOL. The stated map cap numbers are bogus and everybody except you knows it. The real numbers appear to be as low as 60 or maybe 80 (ANet admitted that they recently dropped them), but ANet has never given us the real number … most likely because they don’t actually know it (check the queue threads about logouts not being properly accounted for).

Yes, the siege despawn times bear zero resemblance to 30 minutes except for trebs, yet the ONLY official number we ever got from ANet was (and still is per their last comment several weeks ago) was the bogus 30 minutes.

Check out the Dragon Season web site. http://dragonseason.com/Front/tabid/124/EntryId/211/Lunch-with-Colin-Johanson-Part-II.aspx Both have recent (within the past week or so) interviews with ANet staff (Habib Loew and Colin Johanson) giving considerably more information about the upcoming WvW patch than ANet has posted anywhere to this forum.
