HRC scoring bug

Xilixia

Can someone please help we with HRC's scoring system, what's the explanation for this?
We killed everyone, didn't leave any trash behind and didn't use the horn on both runs, so they were perfectly identical.

First run:


Then with better time and less death, we've got 10k less points:

code65536

First run: 7.96% time penalty (796s over par)... 99959 / (1 - 0.0796) - 16000 = ~92600
Second run: 6.12% time penalty (612s over par)... 89750 / (1 - 0.0612) - 18000 = ~77600

So once you take the time and vitality out of the score and look at the points awarded for kills, you got 92600 kill points on the first run, and 77600 on the second, for a difference for 15000.

15000 happens to be the number of points that you are awarded for killing a boss. So what you ran into here is a bug where one of your boss kills in the second run did not award you any points. Although I have not personally encountered this, I have heard others who have complained that under certain situations, the topside boss during the split would not award points. This is most likely what happened to you.

I see, thanks for the tip!

May I ask you to investigate this bug please? The run was on 10/11/2017 around 10PM CET, on EU_PC.

Thanks!

I've run into this seemingly hundreds of times.

When the group splits, the top boss sometimes doesn't award points. At least on XB/NA, it's been doing this forever. Not really sure what triggers it but it's happened to me countless times.
