zenijos10 Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Has anyone done a data analysis of the efficiency of influence and XP gain across team sizes? What I mean is, how is XP/ influence/ drops split or modified as team size grows. If I am complete say a fire farm and on average get 1000 inf and 1000 xp 5 recipes 5 salavage and 5 SOs per run solo. If I run two people will they average 500 inf/ xp and 2.5 recipes/salvage/SOs each (provided only the original member fights and everything else stays the same?) If I run 8 is everything split evenly or is there any increase/decrease in total payout? Also, to be clear I am asking if there is an object measurement of this, and I am not requesting off the cuff opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srmalloy Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Normally, I wouldn't recommend any page from fandom.com, but the page it has for experience in CoH has a detailed breakdown of experience as it works in the game that I haven't been able to find anywhere else. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancrusher Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 It's a good link for explaining the distribution of xp, but seems to offer nothing useful regarding how influence and recipe drops are distributed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glacier Peak Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 To answer the OP, no. There's been data collected by many folks and posted on these forums, but no methodological approach that can be replicated for others to test. I'd wager the most time consuming part is that methodology set up. After that it's just filling out the spreadsheet and sharing over Google docs for folks to validate.

Without_Pause Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 I had a long ramble based on dual boxing experience written but the link explained it better than what I had floating around in my head. There is also the factor of the lead getting different/lesser rewards than the rest of the party. I've done enough dual boxing to say the farmer doesn't have an equal chance of getting a purple to drop. Top 10 Most Fun 50s. 1. Without Mercy: Claws/ea Scrapper. 2. Outsmart: Fort 3. Sneakers: Stj/ea Stalker. 4. Waterpark: Water/temp Blaster. 5. Project Next: Ice/stone Brute. 6. Mighty Matt: Rad/bio Brute. 7. Without Pause: Claws/wp Brute. 8. Emma Strange: Ill/dark. 9. Nothing But Flowers: Plant/storm Controller. 10. Obsidian Smoke: Fire/dark Corr. "Downtime is for mortals." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I remember it described way back on Live, each member of a team gets completely independent drop rolls for each type of reward -- invention salvage, event salvage, (disabled) base salvage, enhancement, recipe, thread, shard, etc. -- while the drop rates are low enough that it's unlikely, it's possible for every character on a team to get a recipe drop from a single defeated mob. Making drops independent was a deliberate design decision on the part of the original devs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's where I am coming from here. What's the reality here. That fandom data is nice, but it contains obviously outdated information which makes me questions if most or all of it is actually wrong in 2022. Maybe I will get up the motivation to setup a proper experiment, but mostly I was just hoping someone already had. In the grand scheme of things its not that important, just nice to know.
