bara yaoi.3824 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 why does its forum section have the most posts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeftheWicked.3076 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Least popular? Who told you that? There's a ton of necros in competitive modes and tons of us in open world. Necro might be the most popular profession of all or at least high up there with eles , guards and warriors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeceiverX.8361 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 It's not the least popular lol. https://gw2armory.com/statistics Edit: site seems broken as of 8/19 ._. https://gw2efficiency.com/account/player-statistics as stated by ReaverKane below is working (with previously identical numbers), though.

ZeftheWicked.3076 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Nice site! Also damn, the balance in player population for each profession is mmo dev's wet dream, almost everything has equal representation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably skewed in that most accounts have at least one of each profession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeftheWicked.3076 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Well that depends indeed on how it's measured. Is it by character profession on account, or time each is played vs rest across all accounts. Don't know their algorhitm, so can't say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GW2 Efficiency has it discriminated by play time as well: https://gw2efficiency.com/account/player-statistics Necro is definetly not one of the least popular. But it tends to be the worse off when balance comes through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vayne.8563 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 See, competitive modes get the most posts, but they don't get the most popular support. You'd think that necros would be wildly unpopular due to the posts from people who raid. But as you can see, it's one of the more popular professions. Hard core players, min-maxers are always going to post more, particularly when they feel their profession isn't getting enough love. But I run a casual guild that has more necros and rangers than any other profession. People play them because pet classes make the game easier for them. It's a very popular choice.

Yeah, in terms of player numbers it's pretty much the same, mind you that both sites require players to join, and efficiency is older, that plus rounding will explain the discrepancies in the number of characters of each profession. The difference is the play time, which tells us that Necro is the 5th most played profession, so middle of the table, as opposed to least popular.

Dadnir.5038 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 > @"bara yaoi.3824" said: > why does its forum section have the most posts? Could you please define what you mean by "least popular"? In what gamemode? From what kind of point of view? You throw a statement like a bomb but based on the context it can be proven right like it can be proven wrong. Example: - In high end PvE, the necromancer have never been really a popular pick for dungeon or raid due to [insert whatever reason] - In general, the necromancer is right in the middle of the pack in regard of playing time from the players of the game. - In WvW, the necromancer have always been meta and welcome in zerglings. - In PvP the necromancer suffered up and down but at the moment they still suffer a bit of discrimination due to [insert popular PvP opinion] As a fact, I'd say that Engineer is in a worst place when it come to popularity. This is not a profession with a large population of players and tend to be played less than other professions. It rarely had the occasion to shine in PvE and WvW while in PvP, in all it's history, it tend to be either OP or overnerfed. Players generally don't even have enough of an opinion of the engineer to even be concerned by this profession. I even wonder if they still hope that anet will handle the hugliness of their "hobosac". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swamurabi.7890 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 What you really need is player-hours per class for sPvP, PvE(raids and fractals) and WvW. That would show you how popular each class is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derd.6413 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 it's less "necro is unpopular class to play" and more "necro is an unpopular ally to take in a group (in pve)" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would show you how popular each class is. Not really. It is highly unlikely that if you broke it up between the three modes that Necromancer would suddenly become the least popular profession. It may drop a bit here or there and rise a bit here or there but considering the numbers and how far ahead it is over the last place professions of Revenant and Engineer dividing it up isn't likely to sink it below them. At it's worse it may drop down to their level in PvE but I have serious doubts they would drop below those two in WvW and PvP. Despite the problems Necromancer faces in PvE content, it is still a popular profession for people to play. > @"Axl.8924" said: > I thought revenant was?

Obtena.7952 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Even if Necro is the least popular ... I don't see a problem with that, regardless of the number of posts. I really don't get the point even if there IS a correlation between posts and popularity. It's a big 'SO WHAT?' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
