Hi all,
I have a question on contibution in city sieges. I usually play a Deff Tank and most of the time I end up in the lower third or quater of contribution (16 to lower). Combined with unlucky rolls I end up most sieges with zero bags. Since I'm deff my dmg isn't great, but I do what a tank is supposed to do. I guard, I challenge, I assist on my dd target, I kick tanks, I stagger... but I still end up with apparently no contribution.
I do not have this issue with the same tank in Forts. There I usually end up in the top 20 and then get screwed on the dice roll ( ). But in city it seems I can't get the same. It is kind of frustrating when I see Slayers getting showered with gold and purple bags, while thinking, they wouldn't be able to put out that much dmg if I wouldn't be running along side them.
So ... am I doing something wrong? Is this just incredible bad luck or is the system rigged against tanks?
What exactly gives you contribution in cities? Anyone got any tips?

Re: Contribution in City
From my experience the contribution system is pretty weird in two places:
- 1) Instead of your contribution = your contribution bonus it looks like contribution bonus is awarded at 50 increments from the top of the contribution "scoreboard": first place gives you +750 bonus, second place gives +700, third +650 and so on until the low contribution places. So even if you're high on contribution but really close to someone else your contribution bonus difference will be at least 50, or even more if there are multiple people near the same contribution level (as how it actually should be, duh)
- 2) I have a strange feeling that contribution system actually punishes you for trying hard to contribute: it seems that you get a huge contribution penalty for dying.

City contribution is broken. Thats why they removed gear from gold bags after sieges went live after the first week.

Re: Contribution in City
Kind of removed it but it still stings bags=crests=gear soo you still are f***d
It's OK to heal a Slayer!
Re: Contribution in City
Not dying at city stage 1 and 2 means low contr, no idea why. dying penalty feels like a myth. That from a healer prespective
