Intriguing. So are PC EU working harder, or are there just more of us?!

ESO_player123 · June 16

It would be also interesting to know how many people contributed for more than 1 platform. I did in on both PCNA and PCEU, so I was cancelling myself out.

Do you believe that Molto's minions are the most hard-working and only lazy players pledge to Ruckus?

I believe that faction scores are mostly indicative of relative populations; I think that Eyes won not because they attracted players who were more active, but because they attracted more players. Similarly, I believe that PC/EU has the highest cumulative score simply because it's the most populous megaserver. ZOS has publicly stated in the past the PC/EU is their most populous server, and this is also consistent with other informal metrics such as the number of listings for items in TTC.

And it seems like EU is a lot more PC-centric than NA. If we take scores as a proxy for relative population levels, then adding up all the platforms reveals that NA has more players than EU, but NA's population is spread more evenly across the three platforms, while EU players are mostly crammed into PC.

Sure there are more of us. What a question?!
We are many! We are the Thousand Eyes!

Well, it is probably time to stop advertising the faction

It's certainly a good insight into population numbers. Though out NA friends, especially on PC, won't be happy they aren't the special ones.

Not to derail things, but it would also explain why PC NA Vengeance seems to have less participation than PC EU Vengeance.

Edit: Also, if we take a view on average faction points. It would suggest that ~45% of the player base is Console.

If we presume a 10,000 average, which is not unreasonable as many will have got to the 10,000 and stopped that's around 80,000 players, or at 20,000 average about 40,000. That's quite healthy.

Another pointless "competition". They really need to stop these. Of course everyone's gonna choose the DPS monster set. There's nothing more to it.

I choose based on who had the most daedrats.

Kinda regretted it afterwards as I liked the big cat and his posse....

I have no idea what the monster sets do.

For the numbers talk, PC EU, there were groups every day and night in group finder for the dailies. I ended up on 20k faction. I got a lot of motifs from those gold boxes.

Onomos · June 17

I chose the Ruckus even knowing how badly it was going to lose. I regret nothing.

tomofhyrule · June 17

This is very interesting, thank you.

We’ve known for a while PCEU was the most populous and XBEU was least, and that PCs were more populous than consoles, but it is interesting seeing that EU skews very hard to PC while they’re not as drastic on NA. I will say I’m surprised to see XBNA and PSEU here, I’d have expected them smaller/larger respectively.

Obviously these scores aren’t direct comparisons to population since it doesn’t account for more hardcore grinders vs. more casual people who dip in and out, but it is still very interesting to see the differences in scores. The other “server competition” we had in terms of the Writhing Wall was absolutely skewed behind the scenes, but these are not skewed by server.

It does make me wonder about the daily increase over time. We do know that EU does concentrate the population around EU primetime while NA tends to be more spread out with lower highs and higher lows. The graphs they showed when talking about Vengeance did follow those trends. We know that also happened with the Night Market due to the fact that PCEU would spin up/down new instances so the Faceted got fixed for EU well before NA finally saw them since instances were not experiencing the same churn.

I've updated the first post with the near-final scores for PC and Xbox shortly before the end of the event.

If only the last coffer reflected the effort. Not even any gold. Very disappointing.

There was gold in the mail attachment.

I just checked on one of my EU toons and there was 3500 gold in the mail with the coffer. Not sure if that scales with favor, but that account hadn't even cleared 1K favor and still got a gold-quality head and shoulders and some banners. I'd say woo-hoo on the banners, except "yeah, whatever" actually comes closer. Night's Den is the only house that account has.

No scale with favor. All the Eyes got exactly 3500 gold.
The second-score faction got 1500.

code65536 · June 17

And, no, the rewards do not scale with your personal contribution. A bank mule account with the base 150 favor from doing the intro quest got the exact same mail as my main account with 19K favor.

Tommy_The_Gun · June 17

Cuz ESO streamer said so...

Not that it matters but what is the point on 1st place ? It was more fun to watch 2nd & 3rd faction going head to head...

There was no point to the competition since there was no competition. Because the faction scores are not adjusted for population, it was just a popularity contest. But the upside of them not adjusting for population is that these scores can provide some insight into relative population levels, which I think is the interesting bit here.

Basbor · June 17

@code65536
Thanks for the info!

---

I've been playing Night Market on the side of the many-many-eyes-faction just because of the interesting dye.
As simple as this.

Overall Night Market just annoyed me.

I'm a regular player playing from EU on NA-server since the very beginning of ESO.

Here's a little info on what it was near the start. I kinda wish it had more participation so that we could've gotten an idea of how much each server was earning throughout the event.

spartaxoxo · June 18

Also it seems likely this gives us insight into which servers have more players.

1.PCEU
2.PCNA
3.PSNA
4.XBOXNA
5.PSEU
6.XBOXEU

Also I better understand why PC players seem to like the challenge slider less. If we assume that the general ranking is accurate (although devs have gone on record that console players are a bit more casual so probably didn't play it at the same percentage of players), then it seems likely that the zones are far more populated on PCEU than console. So as a console player, the whole adventurer coming along and ruining my mob thing is no big deal. I do run into people every zone I go but we are not constantly tripping over each other. So this comes up a low enough percentage of playtime that it's really not an issue or detraction.

I hope they take this into consideration when implementing crossplay (if at all possible).

Huh, thanks! I hadn't seen that thread before. Interesting to see how the ratios changed (or, rather, didn't change) from the start to the end.

Yea, it would've been cool to have gotten snapshots throughout; the idea of recording the final scores didn't even occur to me until the penultimate day of event.

The second-score faction got 1500.

That's not gold, it's pocket change. Zero reason to grind passed 10k next time.

And when counting those numbers differently:

NA v EU
NA (all combined) 439.3M
EU (all combined) 363.4M

PCMR v Console
PC (EU&NA) 444.3M
Console (all) 358.4M

I think regional platform differences are the most interesting and surprising thing.

If we take scores as a proxy for population, then on NA, console actually outnumbers "PCMR", 55% to 45%, but on EU, "PCMR" wins in a landslide 68% to 32%. That's a huge regional difference.

I wonder if it's because Europeans are more cost-conscious and practical? Since everyone needs a computer in this day and age anyway, buying a better computer is more pragmatic (and less expensive) than buying a computer and a separate console device, and game prices are generally lower on PC than console.

agelonestar · June 18

Interestingly, in the end it didn't seem to make any difference (you could play with members of any faction), and to be honest the reward box was "meh" anyway.

I much prefer the kind of group competition where we're all working towards something, to unlock a global reward. That just makes more sense to me.

Sticking the tongue out does not make an insult a joke. j/s
I do not see how the Night Market count reflects pop numbers. Not everyone played in the Night Market; not everyone wants to do group play.

It's unlikely that most people grinded out the full event when the biggest reward was front loaded to just the introduction quest. Idk how much favor that quest gave.

DenverRalphy · June 18

Any chance there was any week to week sampling?

I'd be curious to see per server engagement/retention over the course of the event. Anecdotally off the top of my head, PSNA pulled in the lions share of total favor maybe 4 weeks in before dropping off noticeably.

I did not keep such records, sorry. Maybe someone else might have kept track? Though judging from the lack of posts in sparta's thread, my guess is that nobody thought to keep a record.

I did write a little private addon to snapshot scores (easier to copy-paste from a SV file than manually transcribing and hoping that I don't make a typo while doing so), which is how I sourced the scores for PC and Xbox Play Anywhere for this post, but this all happened the night before closure (recording the score was a last-minute thing that popped into my mind).

But for NM2, it should provide me with daily snapshots for PC and XB (assuming that they don't completely eliminate scoring for NM2

).
