Hello,
I've noticed that there is a distinct difference between how quickly the two PvP factions level up. I'm level 298 in Guardians with 734 sinks; and I'm level 231 in Servants with 300 sinks. That equates to 2.45 sinks per level for Guardian and 1.29 sinks per lvl for Servants. Is there any official explanation? Couldn't find anything online.
@daniux5313 that sounds like a bug tbf. I’d send in a ticket here and ask them to compensate you properly if this is indeed a bug.
@daniux5313 could be a difference in winrate, flag luck, or you just played servants during xp boosts more
You're right there was a bug in my data... but it was due to an error in rival ships sunk displayed in game vs on this website. I provided a link with my in game stats and the websites stats side by side; and the website shows EXACTLY x2 the actual in-game amount. I'll report that, but my main issue is still unresolved. Also I've realized the rival faction ships sunk data is a terrible way to gauge this. Actual pirate milestone data is better, as it gives you battles completed and battles won. I overlooked the fact that you're never guaranteed to play versus a Guardian when you queue as a Servant and vice versa. My pirate milestone for guardians says I've won 448 and played 618 matches. 448/618 = 72.49%. Servants says I've won 276 and played 453 matches. 276/453=60.93%. So now my Servants levels to win ratio is 1.19 wins per 1 lvl. The guardians are 1.50 wins per 1 lvl. I only played servants when duo'ing with buddies, and most of my guardian levels are solo; but the win rate discrepancy only furthers my questions!!! I have a better win rate for guardians, and consistently go for high streaks compared servants. My buddy and I wanted the verdant bones so we we're lowering every 4 streak, which is LESS efficient than how I play HG solo as a guardian... I attached a reddit thread going over xp per streak/win at the bottom of my post if you're interested; but basically your fifth win is worth 6600 xp compared to the first win which is only 4200 xp. That's a 157% more xp per win at 5+ wins. So with an increased win rate in guardians compared to servants, and combine that with the fact I go for bigger streaks it still doesn't make sense. This is way too long and nerdy I'll write a tldr lol
tldr; I noticed my PvP factions were only 67 lvls apart despite winning 172 more matches on Guardians with a better win rate than my servants. Servants only take 1.19 sinks per level, and the Guardians take 1.5 sinks per level.
Probably just anecdotal here for me but I got both curses season 8. Did Athena first and it definitely felt like Servants came waaaaaay faster. Same with a shipmate. He had a long grunt to Athena, he is already almost skelly now. So I think there may be something to what you are saying, felt that way to me at least
