A question in regards to accumulated white bags /no trolling

[Smellybelly]

I would like to ask one thing and then bring something else up that´s been bothering me about RVR.

First off:
The last two days i have seen quite extensive discussion about how contribution is stored and saved per tier, per bag and each "loss" (white bag) means you increase your roll for the next time. However then someone said that server reset actually resets all your contribution as well. Dude had no proof except "some dev said it worked like that".

So what is actually right?
I know the devs dont want to explain exactly what gives contribution and that´s fine, lets no discuss that. I just want to know that my endless stream of white bags might actually end up being a golden egg one day

Does server restart clear your accumulated contribution/number of white bags in a row?
Y/N

Secondly about RvR:
Something i have noticed when one team is a clear but not exactly a 400% AAO underdog, close to lock from one side, the other side just start to mysteriously vanish. Why would you log off minutes before a incoming lock?
Well, to increase your sides AAO. Thats something i have seen repeatedly these past few days, CET early mornings.
Destro zerg at that time, no doubt that. Order have had 80-160% AAO and suddenly close to lock order have 300% + AAO and barely a soul is in sight.
Thus, gambling the system. You get a looser bag but its offset by a massive AAO and at the same time the other team ends up with a even more massive zerg compared to the people who are still online.
Im sure both sides are guilty of doing this. This is not about only order abusing the system.

Can anything be done about this or have i perhaps imagined the whole thing?

No.

Since we are pretty sure AAO affect loot rolls for loser bags. How is it factored? Average AAO over xxx mins or just basically at the moment of the flip?

It is factored using math.

Stopped reading right there. You get a bonus for the bags you are eligible for, if you only ever score enough contribution to be eligible for whites you won't get any bonus.

If there are no greens or blues breaking up the patterns of whites - considering you won't be able to consistently score high enough contribution for purple and gold (e.g.: schedule; logging in and joining zones that are about to flip, pugging, yadayada) - you aren't even eligible for them.

Whenever I have enough time during a week to partake in a couple of zone flips, atleast 30% of my bags are green or blue, there is no endless stream of whites and if there were it'd mean that I have to up my game. Where the bad luck prevention takes a tad to accumulate boni for purple or gold, greens and blues shouldn't and are not difficault to acquire through boni alone.

TLDR: Pay attention to the chat upon log, if it says that you contributed alot you'll get a boni (even if botched by AAO), if it tells you that you did little to nothing... well, have a white bag but no boni.

This was just a pointless answer, i have spent 7+ hours in a zone, guarding, ramming, challenging, collecting BO ticks, killed people, solo roamed, guarded and dpsed the lord etc etc etc and still got white bag due to bad roll. You dont need to lecture me like im some sort of idiot.


Got the answer i was looking for from an actual Dev, thank you

The system was JUST tweaked and implemented today. Last week people were being pretty malicious towards Hargrim all the while he was coding in the adjustments getting them ready to push to all of us to play, test and maybe even enjoy. Let's see how this plays out and remember the old system, the current and the coming changes won't make everyone happy but let's roll with the punches and remember we're all here because we have a common love for the game, the genre and (admit it) the grind.

I normaly don't laugh about this kind of answers but I have to say this one got me.

In my defense this was "pre patch"
