Ever since this morning when they converted the event points into larger numbers, our guild (Perfection)
was not included in the top 3. I was just wondering if other guilds out there were knocked off the top 3
due to this past event page update. fyi we were ranked 1 over VIE and collateraldamage by at least
400-500 pts... and no, no one left guild. Maybe an error or bug? Either way GM's please check it out :)

o.o. VIE don't mean to win guild event this time. We got our own emblem and that's enough. Guildies just run dung as they suppose to do as usal. So being on top of the leader board is just unfortunate and out of our control ^^!. Hopefully GM can add "never win a guild emblem event" as a prerequisite to join this event. Anyway good luck to yall!

It being a 1:1 ratio now doesn't explain how the other 3 guilds went from being ~600+ points behind perfection to all passing it. You're talking about them all practically more than doubling their score between one interval and another when it updated. Considering the scores that's like...seriously impossible. That said, I think it'd at least make some sense if we could see more than just the top 3 guilds. Going from on the board and in the lead by almost 2x second place to not even knowing where perfection is with the change is quite disorienting because all of the guilds should have been boosted equally by the change in ratio.

*while in perfection I honestly don't give a crap about if we win so no, I'm not arguing about it just saying it's really unclear what happened with the rankings*

for all you cd haters. we are damned if we do and damned if we dont. we win you complan we lose you make fun of us. i for one have only run dung sence i was lvl 170. thats what alot of us do. if this was a grind event you wouldnt see me NEAR it its a yawn fest, dung event thats just my cup of tea. least now it takes 8 secs to find a partner and not 20 mins. about the title yeah would be super nice but i would rather have rank 14 one anywho.

It's possible that guilds' dp are being counted equally now, but they were not before.

perfection guild and the others guild in the top3 had a problema with the calculation process so that was fixed, the guilds that appear now are correct.
It's for this that the DP has increased considerably from one day to other one and if u wanna win then run dungeons like a bishes.

As in,

Before: Perfection had a lead because their DP was being counted more than other guilds

Now: The DP count has been fixed so the real top guilds are being shown


Of course that's just a possibility and the vice-versa is also possible. Unless GM's say anything it's a 50/50 of either.

Hello!

We can confirm that the Guild Leader Board is accurate in showing the top 3 guilds in each tier.
We intended the Total Guild DP count to be a simple 1:1 ratio from the start, however there was an error to the calculations in the first couple of days of the event.
As stated this error has been resolved and the Total Guild DP is 1:1 as intended and the top 3 guilds are shown accurately.

Good luck to all guilds, there is still plenty of time to catch up.

Okay, so if there was an error prior to the first couple of days, how about after those first couple of days?
If every guild's points were CORRECTLY multiplied then why not ours? Perfection out ran every guild (no disrespect)
and kept a large lead throughout the past week. Everybody and their grandma knows that we no life'd that first
week and kept a big lead. Why? So that we could have a large cushion to relax.

BEFORE that point conversion update in the morning (12:40pst) the score was:Perfection 23XX VIE 18XX CD 17XX.
Thats saying in 6 hours three guilds managed to surpass us in points by 3000-4000 pts using 1:1 ratio . Let me give
you an example; lets say VIE, CD, tieulong had TWO mo parties going(which i highly doubt), that would mean they
would need 25-30 runs / 60+ runs if they had 1 party in 6 HRS to surpass us, USING 1:1 ratio. Okay.... so lets say
Perfection is down 4k and we DO have the capabilities to run MO with 2 parties, so how do we catch up?

140dp(2 parties) x 10mo's = 1400 a day. (so how'd they do it in 6 hrs?)

During the 1st week of the event we ran 10-15 mo runs a day (not including our 2nd parties or ft2 runs) I will bet my own wet panties that no other guild ran that many mo's A DAY. That's ridiculous, we were never down by that much nor were we ever down.

With all that being said I don't even care anymore if they did or didn't do something about this. It just comes to show you how flawed their event system is and how dedication doesn't pay off. BACK TO MO PEACE!

AND how did apocalypse lose a larger lead than us in venus? fk logic eh

I wouldn't care if we were just loosing the event. But when they have us believing that we have a comfortable lead on the other lvl 5 guilds and then randomly "fix" the points putting us in 4th, that's kind of like a slap to the face. It's like running a marathon with a mile lead on the 2nd place feeling confident in your pace and then the refs tell you that they forgot about 3 other runners that are actually 2 miles ahead.

You are probably underestimating other guilds

I am sure a lot of guilds will say they ran so many dungeons that it'd be impossible for any guild to outscore them, but there are guilds who do outscore them.

I don't even want an emblem cause I find them annoying and the title is so meh not to mention temporary.

It just doesn't make sense that any one guild would be unfairly favored by a flawed system before and if it WAS it'd make sense for the GMs to say so. That said it should have at LEAST been shown what the scores were before and after the conversion instead of just been blanketly implemented and changed without a word.

I even think some people are QQing too much even if I see where they're coming from. But it seems crazy to go from 1st place by a comfortable margin to not even showing in the rankings. It's like if you were running a race of such a distance and your distance so far was measured in miles then they suddenly changed to kilometers and the rankings were all changed. By them self either ranking system should be fine but when you convert one to the other and things drastically change it's a big wtf moment.

This said imo what SHOULD have happened is they should have announced the flaw, had the previous updated standings then shown the new changed standings after the maintenance instead of randomly changing them mid-day without any notice or explanation.

The point of the thread isn't that the leader boards are changed now. That's fine as it stands and they've been going up as normal. The fact of the matter is if you take x, y and z and multiply them by whatever say 10, you end up with 10x, 10y, 10z. The base should be the same, modifying how the dp is counted shouldn't have changed the order of the scores etc, but it did in multiple cases. If we had a clear showing from each day of the previous scores I'd try to show what I mean but it doesn't make sense for all the guilds to have say multiplied in score by 10 but then for certain ones to have changed significantly beyond that by a LARGE margin. I mean even now guilds are getting maybe 1k points at most a day. Compare that to the lower growth before and account for the multiplication when the way it was measured changed and some guilds, such as perfection effectively "loss" what should be equal to thousands of dp with no clear reason or explanation.

The problem here isn't one (at least in my case) of complaining over win/lose etc it's over understanding of how/why. What's the point of competing in an event when you're miles ahead of the competition and all of a sudden they change the route so you're in the back all of a sudden?

All of you guys are saying you are not complaining, but you really are just complaining.

Now: The DP count has been fixed so the real top guilds are being shown


And from what I can see, a lot of you (looking at you cocopuffy) have the attitude "we run so many dungeons its impossible for us to not be in 1st place, no other guild runs that many MO's and FT2's." I'd say that if you were so confident in the amount of dungeons you run, then it should be no problem to catch up with the 17 days remaining.

How about work harder and actually prove you run a lot of dungeons, by running dungeons instead of complaining and giving up when the event isn't even half over. In any type of competition I'd call that bad sportsmanship.

The only person on this thread who has any type of point is Beserk Fury, who says that it's a slap in the face to let you believe you're in 1st for a few days, and then tell you you're not (i'll admit that would make me feel a bit sad). But even if the leaderboard says you were in 1st, in terms of DP count, you were never 1st anyways; it was just an error.

And if you were just gonna slow down and pace yourself because you thought you had a lead, that just shows complacency, and underestimating other guilds in terms of what dungeons they do. "Oh we do 10 MO's a day no guild can do that" and then you slow down and stop doing 10 MO's a day, while you aren't taking into account guilds that do 20+ MO's a day. A guild who worked hard could be in 4th place and jump to 1st place over a couple weeks (*HINT HINT* maybe thats what perfection should try to do).

"Oh we do 10 MO's a day no guild can do that" and then you slow down and stop doing 10 MO's a day, while you aren't taking into account guilds that do 20+ MO's a day. A guild who worked hard could be in 4th place and jump to 1st place over a couple weeks (*HINT HINT* maybe thats what perfection should try to do).

Until a GM say's that perfection was in first due to them mistakenly being given more dp than possible that's a wildly far-fetched assumption. One guild out of all the guilds on the game is just randomly counted more than others? That makes absolutely no sense.

I just want to understand how the conversion worked when they changed it and why it seemed to affect different guilds differently when logically it shouldn't.

As I said the "reward" is relatively meaningless and I could honestly care less, I'm just not a fan of when things get done/changed and there isn't an explanation for how/what was done.

And from what I can see, a lot of you (looking at you cocopuffy) have the attitude "we run so many dungeons its impossible for us to not be in 1st place, no other guild runs that many MO's and FT2's." I'd say that if you were so confident in the amount of dungeons you run, then it should be no problem to catch up with the 17 days remaining.

How about work harder and actually prove you run a lot of dungeons, by running dungeons instead of complaining and giving up when the event isn't even half over. In any type of competition I'd call that bad sportsmanship.

The only person on this thread who has any type of point is Beserk Fury, who says that it's a slap in the face to let you believe you're in 1st for a few days, and then tell you you're not (i'll admit that would make me feel a bit sad). But even if the leaderboard says you were in 1st, in terms of DP count, you were never 1st anyways; it was just an error.

And if you were just gonna slow down and pace yourself because you thought you had a lead, that just shows complacency, and underestimating other guilds in terms of what dungeons they do.

One thing I can't understand is why you keep commenting on how EST is running this event, when in reality you're just as clueless as everyone else. Just like before they "fixed" the DP calculation you kept people that everything is being done right and that there's a ratio used in the calculation. Well guess what, turns out you were dead wrong and their system was glitched. So what makes you think that you're any more right now than you were before?

I'd say its not an assumption considering GM's have confirmed the current top 3 is correct.

And the correction HAS to have affected guilds differently, because if it affected everyone the same, it wouldn't be an error to begin with. Do you understand what an "error" is?

I bet you guys aren't even trying to collect DP anymore, which just proves me right further.

Except you're wrong, again.

If you're running MO more than any other guild, like cocopuffy claims, then you should have no problem making it back to the top 3 within the next few days.
