Mythic Explains Broken oRVR Contribution

Make of it what you will.  I already posted my opinion that they are between a rock and a cross these days.  Enter stage unfortunate circumstance and the wound seeps some more.  I'm sure they'll get everything worked out in the long run. 

This is why as a player, my preference was for them to fix the fundamentals of the game before worrying about pushing people out to oRVR because portion of the players are screaming for it.  Yes, I get oRVR is supposed to be the core but hey, there are more pressing issues in Warhammer right now.

Hmm what was the explanation? I cannot get YouTube at work :(

There was code added to randomly generate a number in case of a tie in contribution from PQs. However, it was never intended for oRVR because how that is factor is different and rarely would result in a tie. But somehow that code went into production to calculate oRVR contribution.

Basically Hud, it was that a piece of code from beta was mistakenly left in. It works fine for PQs, but since some of the calculations there are not taken in to consideration in RvR, it was messing up the contribution rolls in RvR to the point where it ended up being a /random roll for Keep takes.

So while it worked fine in PQs, it was not working as intended in RvR. One rogue piece of code botched the whole thing. It's apparently fixed and in QA, should make it into the 1.1 patch or sooner as a hotfix.
