5 + 3 = 8

5 + 10 = 13

5 + 10 = 11

4 + 5 = 6

Seems Legit

Should that be:  
2 +3 +5 +5 +5 =8  
3 +5 +8 +8 +10 =13  
3 +5 +8 +8 +10 =11  
2 +4 +5 +5 +5 =6

There are a lot of unaccounted for pluses there. Are we only supposed to add the yellow ones? Really? This screen is really bad for any kind of information. Not sure what it actually is supposed to represent other than someone bad a maths.

Not that I’m complaining about getting my life/armor bonuses converted into attack/magic bonuses, but… Do you have any screenshots or video you want to share with us so we can see the problem? Attach them to your post!

Yes. The screen shows the bonuses for different GW ranks (yours being yellowed) - which can be (is?) counter-intuitive. Perhaps the devs wanted to cram too much information into one screen.

They wanted to point out how cool for the whole guild is to spend resources on sentinels.  
Like path buttons on the world map. Doesn’t matter if you will ever click them or not they are there. There could be a ton of more useful shotcut buttons but theu decided for 2 that won’t be clicked.

My sentinels are giving 0.05 magic/attack per level and 0.09 life/armor per level to others. So, even that varies, not sure if by player or by guild?

Sorry, Bad math. I think it varies by rank and by guild…

Exactly that. Golden + Golden = Green. Whites are ignored. So are all math laws. 😉

Mine don’t add up either, similar to @tacet opening screenshot.

@Nimhain @Sirrian is this a known issue?
