dr tinykittylove wrote: Out of curiosity, how is scaling calculated then? How do you account for the differences in node levels at the start (before community scaling kicks in)? As for personal scaling - typically, if I'm busy/feeling lazy I will end up top 20 or top 50 in pve. Why are my starting levels still considerably lower than my 4* roster alliance mates who play as little pve as possible?
Phantron wrote: I'm pretty sure it's your performance and an average of the levels of the characters you used recently to achieve that performance. It cannot be strictly performance based because there are guys who run a 'everyone at level 100' who easily does better than someone with a maxed roster. At some point, those guy should hit scaling equal to that of a max roster, and yet their characters are roughly 50% as strong, rendering the game unplayable for those guys. As far as I know nobody has ever reported this, and we already know tanking your PvE performance takes a long time to drive down your scaling (otherwise you could just place very poorly for a few events, and as far as I know people already tried this and found this to not work). So while it's technically true that your roster doesn't affect your scaling, it only matters if you don't use your highest level characters, which would mean you probably need multiple copies of the same guy.
