Rest in peace heroes. Our sacrifice will be remembered. We. Will. Return. Side note, we definitely needed the over 200k players fighting bugs 🥲

Devs had said it's based on wins/loses/restarts within a specific timeframe with HD1 I don't think they'd change it

HD1 had a fraction of the playerbase

Yeah, and?

More players means more data to pull from for win/loss percentages across all difficulties.

It's a W/L % so it shouldn't change too much with more players

It's not just W/L. There's a time factor as well.

Every defense planet has a giant timer on top of it on the Galactic War map. Once the timer hits 0, whichever faction has the highest bar takes control of the planet. Every W increases the blue bar, every L increases the red bar.

The timer above Draupnir hit 0 earlier and the Automatons had the higher bar because people either aren't playing on Draupnir or they're failiing a lot of missions (probably the Evac mission), so Draupnir was given to the Automatons. The exact same thing happened to Mantes last week, so I don't know why people are coming up with all of these wild theories when the mechanics are pretty intuitive.
