Kekkei Genkai Kage.5930 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Was Last Stand get gutted out of the Scoring System update? Last Stand Last Stand describes the final day of any week long matchup During Last Stand, Skirmish placement Victory Points are multiplied This is intended to make the last day of the match as exciting as the first, and provide a final comeback mechanic for teams that are behind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonSeed.3528 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 I remember the 'catch up' mechanic being mentioned but never implemented for skirmishes. It was brought up again a couple of times in a number of past posts but still nothing really discussed. Maybe now is the time devs could talk about why it wasn't implemented.

Svarty.8019 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 This was always an awesome idea. Devs don't seem to hear it tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Pj.2193 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 I imagine we won't see a macro level scoring change until after they restructure or Decide NOT to restructure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kekkei Genkai Kage.5930 Posted April 5, 2018 Author Share Posted April 5, 2018 They mentioned in their the proposed scoring system revamped almost 2 years ago and did implement Last Stand, thursday nights are boring where no one really plays unless the score is close Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nativity.3057 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Would be a great addition. Currently on Fridays WvW is pretty much dead until reset occurs. With daylight saving time, reset starting at 10pm EST makes the fun short. Let's make the entire day fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XenesisII.1540 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 It was mentioned to be a last option to help balance matches if skirmish mode didn't work as intended. Doesn't look like they think it was needed so far. Now that we're getting alliance mode with populations supposedly going to be more balanced between servers, they may wait until after that to bother looking into this option.

With daylight saving time, reset starting at 10pm EST makes the fun short. Let's make the entire day fun! What was the reason for them not bumping that back a couple hours, again? I know this has been discussed before. I feel like 8EST/5PST would be better than what we currently have. ~ Kovu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenesisII.1540 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Oh lol I got it mixed up with the action level multiplier, my bad been so long. In any case don't think they felt the need to add it in, population balance through links is what they were working on to get scoring more balanced, skirmish mode itself took care of overnight run away scoring. If they added in the last stand option it might have given servers boost in scoring which didn't really reflect their true strength. Could you imagine these days too if we had it with the servers tanking, we probably would have even more players not showing up to play to avoid scoring on that day, especially those servers trying to stay out of tier one. Or even earlier in the week to make sure their scores were low enough to compensate for any sudden hard ppt pushes on the last day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus anet wanted time to do last minute patches, cause friday at 9pm est is a great time to patch before heading home for the weekend... They also like releasing their expansions on fridays, when everyone else does it on like tuesdays, anet being different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kekkei Genkai Kage.5930 Posted April 5, 2018 Author Share Posted April 5, 2018 Activity Thursday nights to Reset is low or just last minute pip farming, only reason liked Last Stand it would bring in activity a bit for that timeframe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunkamania.7561 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Winning means nothing so i don't think this would matter unless they would give more rewards on that day i don't see this doing much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
