Guild Wars 2

Maybe my math is just off (well possible :P) but with the info I know of, the math doesn’t seem to fit.

24 camps, 120 points. 24 towers, 240 points. 12 keeps, 300 points. 1 castle, 35 points.
Adds up to 695 points total per tick (of course, easy to check).

4 ticks an hour -> 2,780 p/h
24 hrs a day -> 66,720 p/d
7 days a week ->467,040 points/week

Adding up weekly scores I tend to get around 610-615k points total instead. Not sure on those small differences, may be the impact of maintenance and startup. Still, that leaves about 145k points unexplained… can someone point out the error in the math please?

Dolyaks and sentries give points.

To add to above poster: those points for dolyaks and sentries are added immediately, not with the points tally. I believe it’s 2 points each?
If you look at the score board for some time, you’ll notice minor point aditions in between the point tallies.

I know that claiming control points after killing the Veteran Guard also provides points. I can’t remember the tick amount, but I believe it was 5 points. Also, I’ve read in several places that Dolyak kills give more points the closer they are to their destination. I have no personal proof of that though as I’m rarely paying that close attention to the scoreboard.

Had noticed the additions, but wasn’t sure what caused it (figured it might be that, though).

Score consistency still seems strange though, if those are one-time additions (makes more sense with a total steady income of about 900 points per tick).

Thanks for the info so far

Sentries give more points based on how long they’ve been sitting there alive. Sometimes it’s 1 point, sometimes it’s 10+ points. Changes constantly. I’m not sure how many points dolyaks give.

I think it was 3 points for killing a dolyak and 5 points for every dolyak making it into a tower/keep—or something along those lines.
