Talk:Outnumbered

Buff

It should be noted, the Outmanned buff has been bugged since game launch, it does not award any additional karma.95.93.225.158

It does give a 15% bonus. (e.g. Drop of Liquid Karma gives 460 instead of 400 karma.) Sardaukar 04:39, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

Are you sure you didn't have the guild +15% buff turned on? Turinpt

Yep. No buff. Sardaukar 01:41, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

Just tested with a Jug of Liquid Karma and just got the usual 4500. The Outmanned buff gave nothing extra. That doesn't mean it's bugged though. Perhaps it only gives extra karma from WvW events. --Alad 05:04, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

Trigger Point

I know Anet seems to hate to give out precise numbers for things like this, but has anyone been able to guess/estimate what the trigger point is to activate these boons? My guess is that is is some kind of formula that looks at the moving average logged in population of each and if a world's percent dips below half of the other three it fires. I am sure that is not it exactly but something along those lines. Any ideas?

This is a guess, but I think it's probably works out to be a 3 or 4 to 1 ratio. I also think that both opponent forces are lumped together in the calculation. The guess is based on seeing different map forces moving on and off maps and trying to get a rough estimate of the number of opponents we encounter. Granted, it is a bit difficult when everyone is moving around and you're in combat. Mystikpretzel (talk) 21:06, 19 August 2013 (UTC)

Unprecise Description

Does anyone know what "greatly" means? 10% more, 20%? 178.83.192.130

Is it really a Boon?

Boon icons have the orange/golden backround. Does Outmanned behave like a boon, for example in relation to traits that add damage etc.. when a boon is active? Incidentally, shouldn't this be added to the effect nav? --Alad 11:27, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

Not an actual boon. Think of it as an environmental effect. Puk 12:55, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

Experience Earned

Does this affect experience earned in any way? Or just through enemy kills? or capping? or can it apply to experience earned from crafting? (Usaf1a8xx (talk) 17:14, 13 June 2014 (UTC))

Kill experience is definitely increased 33%.

Event experience, experience from daily/monthly achievements, and experience from reviving I don't know about, since I don't really pay attention to those amounts and am not sure what the normal value is.

I don't know how it interacts with crafting, but it probably only increases "regular experience" (levels up your character) gained via crafting, rather than "crafting experience" (what levels up your crafting profession). 33% more CEXP would be silly. Vili 点 23:09, 13 June 2014 (UTC)
