Season One, Race Event 18: Two Hour Party

lvl20 feels like a better requirement for 4 points.
Smooth race for us aside from a group disconnect when we first reached western and clicked the zone entrance (never had this happen before and it wasnt a server crash) and one of our players having a single bail. The bail cost him the demi in the end, and the crash cost our lowest xp player the demi as well, but we took the other 4. Loot was solid, especially hrimnors hymn for our marauder at 20. Desync was noticable but not dangerously so.

We hit western (for the 2nd time) at under an hour and remained there to the finish.

Level 29, 1st place shadow and 4th overall in the end.

GGs all, see you next race!

Stat porn according to the CSV pull I did

Number of living characters by class

Duelist 179
Marauder 384
Ranger 320
Shadow 594
Templar 239
Witch 284
Grand Total 2000

Cutoff experience required to get "Top 20" rewards by class

Duelist 2606511 (L26)
Marauder 2717945 (L26)
Ranger 2619206 (L26)
Shadow 2853398 (L26)
Templar 2656187 (L26)
Witch 2601972 (L26)

It seems at the 'high end' of play the classes are fairly competitive

Average experience and Level per class after removing Level 1 characters


Duelist 1087171 18.16
Marauder 894923 17.16
Ranger 859151 16.94
Shadow 953585 17.86
Templar 1033205 17.71
Witch 930242 16.84
Overall 944957 17.43


This is interesting because the two least-used classes (Templar & Duelist) performed quite a bit better than the "more popular" ranged classes. It's quite possible that those willing to use these classes have more dedicated strategies, and being more experienced players, more willing to run "riskier" or "less popular" characters.


Sum of ranks of top 20 by class
Lower is better. This was the easiest way for me to sort for a metric that would show if the top 20 slots per class dominated the top ranks overall. For example if one class utterly dominated, the minimum sum of ranks would be 210 (the top 20 of that class held ranks 1-20 or (sum of ranks) = (1+2+3+4...+20)

I believe if it was perfectly distributed each class, assuming the top 20 are all also in the top 1200 (which may not be the case!), each class would have a sum of ranks of 1260. I could have done my math wrong. In any case:

Duelist 1342
Marauder 1111
Ranger 1308
Shadow 997
Templar 1336
Witch 1337


Shadows and marauders shook out on top spots, with duelists bringing up the rear.



Anybody want any other stat pulls from the CSV?

Plenty of desycn's and re-running through zones this race. Made it to 21.5ish solo as a witch.
In any case I finally have this now.



See you next race.

In a party race, yes. In the solo race earlier, not even close :

Solo 2h race (level / experience) for #20 of each class
Shadow : 26 / 2582201
Witches : 23 / 1622284
Rangers : 24 / 1856630
Duelist : 24 / 1856630
Templar : 24 / 1871529
Marauder : 23 / 1774076

That is some interesting stuff TyrusDark. Thanks for that.
