Death Inside the Event

When a player dies inside the Jawbreaker, several events occur:

Attackers
holidaylights1.gif

Killing another player in the event is worth up to a maximum of 300 points towards their [EventScore, but is adjusted as follows:

  • Each player who damaged the victim within the last 30 seconds will receive points towards their [EventScore scaled based on their Total Damage % dealt to the victim (ie. 50% of total damage = 150 Event Score)
  • If a player is ever Fully Healed (100% Health), it will clear all Damage History from them of players who damaged them previously
  • Players will receive no points for killing Guildmates
  • If the victim has less than 5 minutes of Time Left in the region, the initial 300 Points [EventScore value of the player will be scaled downwards based on that player's Time Left (i.e. a player with 3 minutes Time Left in the region would have an [EventScore worth of 180 instead of 300)

[EventScore and Rank %
holidaylights1.gif

  • Each player has an [EventScore based on how well they do during an event
  • Players can type [EventScore to see their current EventScore for this event, with scores updated hourly
  • At the end of the event, each player will have an Event Score Rank % determined for them based on how their [EventScore compares to that all other players
  • Example: a player who ranked 100th in [EventScore out of 1000 total players will have a Rank % of 90% (since their score is better than 90% of all other players)
