Can't believe 5 years in and there's not a mathematically focused employee at ZOS to make the campaign scoring system actually give the best team more points. Cheers to another 5 years!

    best team???

    doesn't "best" team simply mean most consistent player populations...

    yea i guess... which is cool but not perfect.

    i propose eliminating campaign rewards.

    give big rewards if you gain points while online. if i log on and EP takes 6 keeps, i want a gold jewelry.

    system fixed, what’s ZOS doing tonight?

    Ah, yes, "night capping and low pop", which I can't help but hear as "the server doesn't turn off when I stop playing and go to sleep."

    I've yet to see a mathematically focused solution that didn't amount to making Oceanic players able to earn less points than Prime time US players. I mean, it may not be the most competitive of methods, but at least the status quo lets every player earn the same points for the same actions regardless of when they play.

    You will be waiting a while. EP only takes Alessia and Drakelowe. But I can see why you should get a big reward for this unimaginable feat :wink:

    The simple solution has always been to adjust score evaluation periods based on population ratio's this way when the server isnt locked the evals happen less often. And when it's locked they happen every 5m so changes in the map are reflected more accurately and it rewards holding keeps outside of the hourly flip .

    This can sometimes be seen as making oceanic players have less points earning but actually what currently happens is that they make more effect on points then their primetime equivalent players. Because flipping a map when there is low pop is far easier and it's much easier to hold a flipped map during low pop then it is to take it back. So the effort to points should be proportional.
