ZOS GIVE US A BREAK DOWN ON TRIALS/DSA SCORING

Nifty2g · March 2015

Is it just me or does their new point based system seem buggy? There have been many teams trying to figure out how it works, and they all contradict each other with different times and deaths.

I rly want this info as well..

how much score do you get from the time, deaths, mobs killed?
do the deaths only count when you rez as b4? or as soon as u die?

Nifty2g · March 2015

Well, I completed with a 72minute time and 15 deaths including a few wipes, and finished with a 7950 score. Does having a no death boost your points?

@ZOS_GinaBruno you can't just impliment a new system with no explanation of how it works, we cannot test it for bugs or anything, it feels as if, sometimes you're lucky to get a high score and sometimes you aren't based on a broken system.

Please, please give us a breakdown report at the end of a trial/dsa run

It seems that you have to finish DSA in two hours otherwise you will get just 20 points.

Actually, this is good for everybody playing gimped specs or classes. If points are not rewarded for stacking exclusively the FOTM classes it means everybody got at least an hope to be invited.

For what it's worth, if you pull up the Leaderboard screen while the fight is active, you can deduce some of this.

Granted, this can only happen while you are dead or otherwise unoccupied, but it's a way to tell

Thus far, I can tell you there seems to be +10 points to each (normal mob) kill, it appears, and flat rate points for bosses/waves. Death toll would likely lower this score, or perhaps you get bonus points at the end for each remaining unused rez.

The only tricky thing will be determining the time, but I suspect that could be deduced after a handful of runs, as well.

Designate a clerk...someone whose purpose it to

Stay alive
Watch the counter...
Stand on stones to advance the area

Shouldn't take long to reverse engineer the formula within reasonable accuracy that way.

that is funny thing you asked.

You never get an straight answer you know that right.

How do i know ? They said game won't be B2P ...See what happened.

Our group did finish DSA with 3 deaths and we got 6852 score.
So some explanation is really in need.

Yeah that's strange, we got a similar score on one run yesterday having 15 deaths.

Do you know what the time was for the 6852 score? I think a group effort to simply record clean time and number of deaths for every run would go a long way toward figuring out at least how much those two factors play into it.

Merlin13KAGL · March 2015

Clearing all enemies is supposed to count more than time and death take away. If you're skipping mobs, you're likely losing points (killing boss with mobs still active).

Nifty2g · March 2015

It's likely we wont ever know the scoring breakdown, which is honestly pretty weird, but alright

The time I'm not sure but it was around 75 min and we didn't skip any mobs, neither we had wipe.

redspecter23 · March 2015

I'm scoring this thread a 74. I'm not going to tell you what it's out of or what the units are or how to increase or decrease that score in the future.

Nifty2g · March 2015

flawless system design if you ask me

Nifty2g · March 2015

Just did another 72 minute time with 7 deaths and got a 7900 score, the previous run i did had 72 minutes and 15 deaths.

Care to explain ZOS? Would be nice to know how buggy the system is if you ask me. @ZOS_GinaBruno

Nifty2g · March 2015

@ZOS_GaryA can you please provide answers? I find it pretty hard to be competitive if we have no idea whats going on
