3 stars issue

Guys, my kill points n kills both were more than the 2nd guy, still he got 3 stars and i got 2. Any possible explanation for this. I think the code is still buggy

 

this has been answered many times, contribution to the match is what gets the stars

Yes i know... But look at the score and no of kills, its very ambiguous by the way it distributed stars. Never seen this kind before

 

the other person may have done more in the match, scouting? tried to capture? called for target's? blocked shots coming at teammates? I have no idea, but it's been said my the Devs contribution is key

 

This repeating non-issue would go away if the EOG results were ranked top to bottom by contribution rather than damage.

 

That would be great! I hope they will do this some time

 

I know the reason.

Playing in a higher league actually "punishes" you for being tougher to get more stars.

That is, for the same damage and kill count, you can get 3 stars in challenger III, but just 2 in warrior I.

The requirement rise from challenger III to warrior I is so large that I figured it out.

 

You can get 3 in warrior i too, if your teammates perform bad enough. Stars are calculated based on your contribution relative to the other people in the match. As you rise in infamy, typically other people are stronger, so yes, if your damage stays the same, your contribution goes down.

 

That isn't the point. It is about Challengers and Warriors playing in the same match. I do more damage, and get less stars.

Yes, it is still able for me to get 3 stars. I have to burst out like 6k damage for that. While in Challenger III I could get 3 stars with 4k damage.

 

I think you're mistaken and what you're seeing is different contributions. Damage is only part of contribution. Damage does not directly determine the stars you get.

In other words, it's possible in any league or group to do more damage but get fewer stars.

 

It would help if they would put up a sticky, or better yet a wiki, explaining what "contribution" means. I can only guess they're hiding the Ark of the Covenant somewhere in their contribution calculation. The mere sight of it melts flesh from bone so they can't release it, else suffer the consequences of losing all of their players, moderators, and non-coding staff.

 

if you're a defender/shooter... just deal as much damage as you can, fire as many as you can, hit as many as you can and don't miss too much.... if you're an enforcer or speeder, maximize you're damage and keep on using you're debuffers on as many targets as you can... if you're a fixer, heal heal heal, and stun/frost every now and then if you're using one... it's as simple as that... it's actually easier to get three stars with yellows and fixer compared to shooters/defenders...

 

The devs have stated that they plan on keeping the "secret sauce" calculation for what contribution to the match (besides damage and kills) well a secret. And they will probably tweak thoae factors without telling us. Pretty normal thing to let the player base figure it out.

 

Nobody pointed out yet that op was mk4 and second guy with 3 stars was mk3.. maybe that has some effect too?
