Summary0023661: Victory Point system for zone lock rewards not working correctly
DescriptionBased on Praag tonight, there are several issues with the new zone rewards system:

- Permanent contribution from kills to the zone doesn't seem to be counted at all. Praag started at 10% and reached a peak of 22%, however after a trip to take another zone Praag was back at 10%.

- Recent kills contribution seems too low. There were over 3800 kills over an 8 hour period, including a period with 3-4 WBs on both sides and almost 1000 kills in an hour. At no time did the VP system go above 22%.

- Recent kills contribution decays too quickly. After reaching 22% I expected the number to keep increasing as the fights continued, instead it slowly dropped to 20%, then 15% over the course of 30-60 minutes, even as fighting continued. By the time order was ready to ram it had dropped back to 10%.

I was in a WB with around 750 kills by the end of the zone, the reward was 3 war crests and 1352 renown (this is including +25% pot and +20% from the event). Being a BW, I should have received double crests for locking the Empire pairing, so 3 crests suggest this bonus might not be happening. If this reward was 10% of the maximum possible, it also seems much lower than the old system - I would typically expect 20-25k renown and 60-80 crests for such an active zone lock.

Rewards still seem bugged and much lower than expected. VP-wise, things looked good, there was a big fight tonight in Eataine that reached 100% VP pretty easily and stayed there, but the rewards still felt off. I was solo and received 3 crests and 1k renown for the zone lock after 3 hours of fighting (39 kills, multiple boxes, BO captures, participation in siege). People in a WB with 700+ kills also reported low rewards of around 2.5k renown and 4 - 6 crests.

I'm not sure if today's hotfix changed something, but had what I consider too high of a reward now in TC on an Empire char. I logged in just as the siege started and only managed to get a deathblow on a few low levels. I turned in around 3-4 boxes and did not even get a hit on the lord and received 39 crests and 10k renown for less than 20 minutes of playtime. Others in the zone who were there much longer than me reported much lower rewards. There were similar reports in the following zone. Is it possible the contribution calculation is inverted?

I dont think so but we can have a look if you tell me what character you were playing at and around what time that was as we added extra logging for the rewards.

That said assuming you had 100% VP in the zone you had about a 50% contribution share by the sounds of things. Do note that late last night we found some more issues with the system that has pending changes in where VP was wrongly reset just before dealing out rewards.

I was on Bronag tonight, TC locked around 2230 server time and HP around 0115, I felt I did not have much contribution in those zones but got fairly good rewards. Praag and Shadowlands rewards seemed normal however, so there doesn't seem to be any kind of pattern to it.
