State of the Nexus

[Weirdomen]

Hello all,
I've played around with numbers from the current factions, just for fun. Scraped character data starting from faction rosters, and churned it a bit. Here's the results, bear in mind that they don't account for factionless characters.
The sums for all factions today are:

Code: Select all

Angel        Advocate             24
             Archon               18
             Exalted Harbinger    14
             Holy Champion         7
             Lightspeaker         20
             Paladin               6
             Redeemed             11
             Seraph               31
             Shepherd              8
Demon        Corruptor            14
             Dark Oppressor       29
             Defiler               5
             Doom Howler          13
             Fallen               11
             Infernal Behemoth    48
             Pariah                7
             Void Walker          19
             Wyrm Master          21
Transcended  Conduit              41
             Elementalist         42
             Eternal Soldier      32
             Lich                 32
             Myrmidon              7
             Nexus Champion       24
             Revenant             29
             Sorcerer             17
             Wizard               38
Mortal       Mortal               56
             

The distribution of characters into good, unaligned and evil factions is quite even, with a bit less characters in unaligned factions (link to the interactive image):



But the transcended are more numerous than angels and demons (link to the interactive image):



Here are the characters broken down by class, but I really suggest to check the interactive image, where you can click to expand (click in the center to restore zoom):



And finally, the composition of good, evil and unaligned factions, separated by character class; again, check the interactive image, it's better, you can click to expand.



The API also gives information about skills... Perhaps I'll check that next!

Interesting info, thanks for sharing!

I find the majority of Transcended classes surprising, as I do find myself leaning more towards Angels and Demons than Transcended. I dunno, thematically the battle between Heaven and Hell hits harder than "oh yeah this third party exists too and they get to halfway ignore a core mechanic of the game". Interesting.

Also, if you've 1 credit or more you can use the "Global Character Stats" on the character selection page that gives data on all players in aggregate, including how often skills are picked. There's a few only one character in the Nexus has, and even a few that have no one at all (or at least, last time I checked).

Hi, thanks! From the global stats it's cool to infer how many ferals are there.
The main reason I got this data, is that if I want to make a certain build, I can check which are the current level ~30 characters with a certain skill, and plan the build better. But graphing it was too cool to pass.

Other cool tidbits:

Factions' renown, divided by the number of members (link):
(showing only Good, Evil and Unaligned factions with more than 1 member).



One would think that evil factions are more effective renown-wise.
However, evil factions also have higher level members, on average (link):



And faction renown divided by average member level sort of equilibrates good and evil factions (link):

[Weirdomen]

And P.S., what vindicates Unaligned factions is that their stats are brought down by several small-ish factions that don't have much renown.

If I only graph the factions with, say, more than 5 members, I get (link):

This is great. The graph of faction alignment and class is my favorite!
thanks for making these

Faction Renown tell no useful information imo unless it shows renown used.

I'm super up to using other metrics, that I can get
