Confirmation Bias

You lack the data necessary to make a reasonable guess on how many deaths occur in one day. Even if we knew precise numbers on simultaneous Dust logins we don't know how many are in matches or not. Your guesses and estimations mean nothing.


was I submitting them to be scientifically accredited?

it's an estimate, it might be right it might be wrong, take it as you will.]]> Mon, 10 Mar 2014 16:53:00 +0000 dustsearch/guid/1598406 <![CDATA[Observation - Million clone event - by Requin Toblat]]> https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1919699#post1919699 Nelo Angel0 wrote:

that's 2700 clones per hour that's 64000 clones per day, or 194400 clones lost during this event. I think we will be a bit shy for this event. you might think this is low like perhaps we have 10 games going on during peak, well not during peak we will likely have 3-5, also if you play ambush matches might be quicker but the clones lost less, especially for the side running nothing but tanks.

to give you my personal record I have been playing for over a year and i barely have over 50k kills i think, and that's not even clones bleed out.

your estimates are off, there's roughly 3-4k people on at any given time. that's around 100 (rounding down, for people online but not in a match) games going at once, 32 per battle. it breaks down to about 100 kills/terms per day per player. the million kill mark will be easy to hit.


You guys are forgetting dust and eve numbers were counted as one total during the launch of uprising. The number isn't really 3-4K on dust at any given time. prior to uprising it was more like 1-3K

DUST is usually between 3 - 4 k players playing at any one time, the combined total of EVE & DUST players playing concurrently is anywhere from 40 - 54 k

Just letting you know there's more than 3000 people on during peek. You can't fix stupid.. stupid is forever.


Nope I think he's closer to being right than you give him credit for. We will need a lot of active and aggressive players on over the weekend.

even if you triple the games played at any given time, we are still nowhere near a million.

I was low balling it because in situations like these where you have no concretete numbers just estimations it's safer to low ball then overestimate.]]> Mon, 10 Mar 2014 16:28:00 +0000 dustsearch/guid/1598314 <![CDATA[Observation - Million clone event - by pyramidhead 420]]> https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1919601#post1919601 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 16:21:00 +0000 dustsearch/guid/1598312 <![CDATA[Observation - Million clone event - by Nelo Angel0]]> https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1919602#post1919602 pyramidhead 420 wrote:

6 games?
If there's 3,500 people online and everyone's playing that's like 109 games going on. Now lets say only half of the people online are playing, that's still 58 games going on.]]> Mon, 10 Mar 2014 16:08:00 +0000 dustsearch/guid/1598263 <![CDATA[Observation - Million clone event - by Ripley Riley]]> https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1919537#post1919537 calisk galern wrote:

A single player (or fair-sized corporation, for that matter) can't accurately estimate how many matches occur across FW, PC, and public contracts every day. Without that number we can't estimate how many clones are lost per day. It's silly to try to guess anyway, just play your 10 matches during the window, kill/die a lot and hope we get some kind of a reward.

CCP wouldn't setup the event this way unless we could at least hit the bottom reward tier with minimal participation.
