a week in the life: RDA portal meta data.

[Josh D]

I just did the math, you were at 59 out of 81. That's 72% of the RDAs you were involved in. And by involved = rolled through.

Maybe I don't understand the chart correctly, but that's what it looks like to me

The discrepancy with the pie chart is that it is counting every guild's appearance as the total. So if a RDA has two guilds it adds 2 to the total in the pie chart.

yes and this is what makes the chart worthless.


lets say Faction gate.

25 Werkt showing up and 1 EQMS

and the 1 EQMS getting the same points as the 25 werkt ?

now you understand why this chart is bullshit ?

 

[Young Star]

its very raw, simple statistic being tracked that actually takes a lot of work and cooperation from outsiders to compile. No claims were being made from the data. He set a basis for tracking RDA activity for a week and these are the numbers that were gathered.

I think the main take away from the data is that there are multiple guilds that are finding the RDAs. In the future maybe we will try to track with a different statistic like who got the fragment or something.

 

[GluttonySDS]

The only broken things about RDAs is that it often comes down to who has more tamers that can take counts against the other groups tamers... theres such a disincentive to raid most RDAs because it is nearly impossibly to fight 15 dragons while youre on foot(not really worth risking stat loss).

Maybe make RDAs a non dungeon zone so you can buy your head back for 35k? Maybe make taking counts in an RDA worth 2 counts instead of one?

Like I said -- the normal scenario in an RDA is whichever group has the most tamers in it will just blue PK the others in there at the end.

p.s.

fix faction RDA

 

[Dig'em]

Tankian, they've begun doing that to us lately too.

Werkt guild has unfortunately become very similar to $ guild in RDAs. Its a shame too, I like a lot of them.

As for the charts.....Ill be damned if we (EQMS) get 17.5%, its more like 10%.

As for Werkt finding 50%.....Calsifer..cmon homie...I gave you our data in hopes this would be accurate. You guys had a role in at least 70% of the RDAs. If not, I need the RDA crystal recalibrated, shits broke.

Lol the number if times eqms pks at rdas, you have 0 room t talk, I like you Zelda, but you'll never be able to get your whole guild to just let us be, so we return the kindness nothing personal guys!!

Out of 81 total RDAs here is the attendance:
WERKT=59
Money=26
EQMS=21
TBA=4
T^C/W8=4
Unknown=6

By % of total, which is what you are referring to, EQMS is at 25.93% and Money 32.10%. The "market share" graph offsets these percentages to take account for shared/contested spawns.

thats only because the stupid 1 client rule change

WERKT=59
Money=26
EQMS=21
TBA=4
T^C/W8=4
Unknown=6

stats w/o faction rda plz

because you set 25 werkt guys on same worth then 1 from other guild that just not work

 

[GluttonySDS]

I got no hate for werkt -- you guys dont really talk shit except for JohnnyEnglish -- is he POWER or werkt or? You guys are basically the PVE only version of EQMS and you guys grouping up and getting a major share of RDAs is exactly how a sandbox game should work.

I guess I could organize EQMS to be more into RDAs but PVE isnt really my thing and Id much rather raid an RDA(hard to do with current mechanics) or at least kill people when they come out of it.

 

[Young Star]

As for us acting like $ at RDAs. No. We just treat you the same that you treat us at most champs. We're also not going to go post 2 threads a day to talk shit.

Sorry Girana we cannot break out which ones were factions. Anecdotal view on that is the faction RDA accounts for a majority of $'s RDA count. You guys, based on the US EST timezone, are very active at RDAs early in the day and tapers off in the afternoon/evening at which time we usually see you guys trolling MOTM spots and Covetous 5.

 

[ProdigyOsi]

Calculating attendance by guild would be very difficult and arguably arbitrary. There are several metrics by which you could argue success could//should be measured but non of them are objectively quantitative.

If you have a better idea, and are willing/mature enough to remain impartial, I will help you gather data.

What's the PVE equivalent of reskilling?

I think the arche deamon should be on a random timer also and any ghost or afk chars are left in the area after x amount of time should be kicked out

+ 1 on this.
Honestly ghosting is lame ass shit. Should be illegal.

offered a player driven solution for it using spirit speak to exorsize ghosts that have no corpse to a nearby ankh. I think it is on the list but likely near the very bottom unless that wheel gets really squeaky.

ask happynoob about that he loves ghosting

he use about 10accounts at all these points to ghost all shit 24/7

Its just BS at all ,solution is do not allow it.
But its off topic sorry.
Back to this chart .

 

[Swayze]

Page in if you see a ghost ghosting a spawn guys, we have no issue sending them to town. It is not an intentional part of the game.

If they continue to ghost a spawn we can enforce this issue.

 

[StrawberryInYourFace]

49% might be what you found and did yourselfs but im sure it is much higher when you take in affect the ones you raided and pkd everyone inside. werkt was supposed to be on good terms with TBA but you just come in and pk all of us. some of us are your friends but I guess in the end Gold and greed is more important

I do believe that all rdas should be on totally random timers to keep everyone from having the timers on lockdown and keep clicking the gems to see when they pop like @Faytality mentioned. ant that chart is not correct. maybe for who first found them but not completed them. im pretty sure werkt is more like 60%. and I think the arche deamon should be on a random timer also and any ghost or afk chars are left in the area after x amount of time should be kicked out
@eppy
@Adam
@JoeB
@Shane

Please tell me how it is wrong? It shows any guild that tried or participated in the RDA. It does not show who finished it or who got the fragment. If it did, money would have a bigger piece in the chart.
