contribution is confusing sometimes, like you have 3ppl group which made 150 kills on zone total, but you end up 77

Kills are only one way of gaining contribution, if your just running around the zone only killing things, it won't be enough to get you ahead of the curve, the devs clearly want you to be more active contributing to locking a zone. How you do that is entirely our best guess, though i'm pretty sure i have it figured for the most part.

Great patch.

Prepare to invade ! ... Your Hotfix ..

We did reveal the sources of contribution a while back but never the weighting.

I understand the reasoning, but I usually will play an alt till order attacks the last keep. When siege starts (ram is spawned) I drop wb, and switch to my rr70 WH for Fort. Yes I can still do that, but now my chances of getting in are not so good. Anyway ... just dropped my suggestion in the box, did not really suspect it would change anyone's views. All is good!

I think it is intended, that you gather contribution with the same char, you want to take to fort siege. For similar reasons gained contribution in an active rvr lake is wiped, when you enter with a different char.

But you are not entering an rvr lake. You leave the lakes when you enter forts. Now, if I want to use my WH, I either have to accept a 25 percent less chance of entering, or try to get high contribution (without even knowing what really does).
The problem is all mine. I don't want to hit 80 on my WH, till the game is complete. I play alts all the time. Before forts went live, I had not played the WH since getting full Vanquisher.

Ok. Am worry only we will see all dps in attack or def in Fort

E.g. Play your archetype role. (At least that was stated some time ago) Heal, rez, take guard dmg, etc, pretty obvious.


It's not always about damage, eventhough there a lot of people unable to think about anything else

Yes you did and i totally forgot about that, seems to be working as intended as my tanks regularly get bags.

Is there any chance of personal loot roll coming into fort fights?
