Better Percentage Display for Regions near 30%.

This is something that bothers me quite a bit. A region will show 30% for a defending faction during clockover, but still switch to the attacking faction.

My current theory for why this happens; percentages are rounded ie if defending faction has 29.7% the display shows 30%.

I will start collecting screenshots of this happening; but I know I'm not the only one who has noticed it so I'm starting topic first .

If the percentages are in fact rounded, I would like to be able to see another decimal place....

^ concurs

well up 2 numbers behind coma should do that thing

ker-bump!



^Guess which region turned over, correct, the one showing 30%.....

Bump, again.

Watched a region like a HAWK at clockover... dipped below 30% with 30 seconds or so left, back up by 16 seconds.  I refreshed the map with 2 seconds left till clockover.  Saw 30%.  Saw "calculating".  Saw the region flip.

This is as slap in the face to a LOT of people who worked very hard to keep it at 30%, which we have always been told is the required percent to hold a region.  Either the lightside is playing by different rules or the UI is misleading us.  I don't really think the lightside is playing by different rules.

PLZ FIX THIS ASAP ORIGINAL POST IS FROM MARCH.

Larry,

How long have you been playing the game? Because ever since I started playing the game (Last December) the regions have flipped on 70% or more. This seems to be the turn-over point so why are you going on and on about this?

No offense intended but 70% just seems to be the percentage to get the region to flip over.

No offense taken, no worries  .

I believe it is 30% to hold a region on defense, as I recall being frustrated in the past (on Olympus) that a region would show 70-30 light but stay Dark. I would like to give you a more concrete answer, maybe a Dev will actually post to this topic at some point if I keep bumping it. I will be quite satisfied to have this wrapped up any way it happens, even if it's because I'm wrong about %'s hehehe...

That being said... DEVS... ho hum, waiting, answer expected "soon"? ;P

As far as I know, the attackers need to conquer 70%, not 71 %. This means the defenders will have to keep the percentage above 30%.

Yeah fix it please. This has happened several times lately and considering how the map looks atm, this fix is paramount!

Bobo,

Didn't you see my and John's responses? It must most probably be 70% as flip point.

I'm pretty sure we have experienced one side having 70 % on a hex and not claiming it? As far as I know this has happened before, at least that is what the region did show. Happened at couple of times on the Olympus map.

If the percentage we have is 29,6 % on a region, why does it show as being 30 % on the world map, I think this is the issue?

29,6 % is 29,6 % and not 30 %!
