Scores in Taimat

I've been wondering what the scoring system in Taimat is, and what all is added to it.
stealth is survival skills (and not tanking skills, that is really different)
stealth is damage
stealth is mobility
stealth is everything
everything is stealth
Stealth make TR OP, but lack of stealth make TR useless.

    Only the devs really know the details of that . . . :)
    SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC! (repeat indefinitely)

    This is Cryptic after all. There is really only one way to know the answer.

    Answer hazy, try again.

    For one thing, the scoreboard seems to reset after every phase. Just check the scores after you have killed severin, or after each round of the dragon heads. It will appear a clean slate, until someone starts hitting mobs at the clerics.
    So, in all probability, the scoreboard is meaningless. The scores/ranks that you see at the end of Tiamat, also seems pointless, if this is the case. Since it only reflects scores from the final phase (I have ended with final scores lower than my score after first phase). Also, what is the point of ranking everyone in the "Gold bracket". Quite Cryptic indeed!

    It would seem Tiamat is not into e-Peen, which would be refreshing... good for her.


    Would think if you're part of a collective group and help to successfully complete the quest/task at hand... why shouldn't everyone get a shot at loot?

    Maybe the scoreboard is just to give the "Super Awesome Uber L33ts" something to look at [& point to] in order to help them "impress" the mere mortals, while the rewards are completely random?


    What's the next thread?

    "Is random just... well ... random? ... wtf is that about Cryptic? What were you thinking???"
    Been looking forward to upgrading my Perfect Sarcasm font, but due to recent changes it seems I will need to grind the Nine Hells for my Pure Sarcasm font... ironic isn't it?

    It's completely pointless, holding down w till you run off a cliff increases your score. There is no point to the rankings, just ignore them.

    It's true, I tested it out in a losing tiamat once and every time I ran off a cliff my score went up.
