We just issued a change to apply scaling to Focus Activity scoring to help balance out the population difference between classes. We are giving a boost to Warlocks and Titans over the weekend based on previous class concurrency and will issue a more permanent fix early next week.

Although the overall event scoring is based on average Medallion score, Focus Activities have been dominated by Hunters due to them having higher numbers and players understandably switching over to Hunters to get the rewards.

We'd like everyone to play your class of choice for the next few Focus Activities so we can monitor the changes. Go rep your class and don't let the Hunters win without a fight!


If you would like a peek into the data, you can continue reading through details on what we're seeing...

At the start of the event, Warlocks held a slight lead heading into the first Focus Activity (1). Hunters won, and their winnings jumped them into the lead (2). Warlocks continued to push and dunked more Medallions than the other classes until the 2nd Focus Activity (3).

What's happening now? Let's look at yesterday. It appears the Hunters' lead hinges on them winning Focus Activities. Those earnings continue to help them hold the lead. If you look at the gain rates leading into Focus Activities, the rates even out (4s).

Yesterday's Gain Rates Chart

Why are Hunters dominating Focus Activities? It's pretty clear. They started out with high numbers and Guardians are changing from their main class to join the Hunter cause to get that sweet loot. Can you tell when Focus Activities occur from the chart below?

We will continue to monitor the data after this change and give you another update early next week. Also, one final tip, you can dunk medals on any class you like regardless of what class you earned them on.
