rvr zone contribution

[Geisthund]

I believe my zone contribution on my account may be bugged ever since I rolled very high about a month ago with only around 100 gold bag modifier. Every zone flip I only receive 10-18 gold bag modification, the past few zones i started writing down my bag bonuses: 159 to 174 to 192 to 218 to 232. (I dont afk the zones, most zones were pugs and I tanked the lord, had multiple bo takes and zone kills) and every zone flip I only receive 2 vanq medallions where in the past it seemed varied upon contribution? Im wondering if this is now standard or..I am, in fact, bugged? My last gold bag was on december 20 and I've gotten 5 blue, 6 purple 4 green and numerous white bags. Thanks in advance for any input.

If you lock zones when enemy have high AAO its very hard to roll for gold, if you are on the other side (destro atm) it seems very strange

That's stubbornly low? I think theres a bigger issue though other than literal zone contribution/zerging side, as i cant get over 2 vanq medallions in a zone flip either.(checked on last 5 zones, 2 every time) It appears to be stuck

I actually went to the lengths of just reinstalling the game...now it works fine.

I can guarantee you reinstallation would not affect your issue in the slightest.

This is what's screwed with contribution - you can be in a zone fighting with very high AAO for hours, then at a moments notice all of a sudden the enemy gets AAO and the zone locks. You're roll for a bag is then nerfed to the ground. I believe some of this bag stuff should be more dependent on what the individual actually does in zone and not the zergs decision to flip the population. Simply put, the best odd of getting a bag is to ensure you have AAO and the zone locks with your side retaining AAO.

PS - Vanquisher drop levels are very bad it makes bag rolls with duplicate drops worse.

Weird then, ever since a couple of patches ago I was literally stuck ..no matter if defending..or attacking, AAO or not with a +10 gold bag bonus per zone no matter what I did..could tanked lord, been in a six man..or just standing on a BO ..solo running into WB's and getting 2 medallions a zone..I kept meticulous notes on it..because i found it so odd..but if you say it couldnt affect me...then i guess..its just a huge coincidence then..I suppose.

Zone contribution is calculated permanently over the whole time, so a case in which enemies leave right before lock en mass won't mess it up.

Apart from that I realized after Vanquisher release it was significantly harder to contribute, since before you were almost able to predict what will be your next bag, but after Vanq released it wasn't.

I guess that simply many more people than before just played more serious and didn't just jump in for a keep fight, but rather contributing over a longer time.

Nevertheless there seems to have been some issue with the .bag command, since the boni didn't add up in my case, but were given new every lock. Dunno if it's only visual though, but getting bags seemed harder.

I dont think the .bag is supposed to show your rollbonus in realtime. It's rather the last value you got after a lock.

Yes.
