About the Data

Outgoing CC's

Elite Insights provides a data point called appliedCrowdControl which indicates a total count of hard CC's. A hard CC is when an enemy endures a temporary full loss of control having only a stun break to resolve early.

• Ranking Formula: HardCC (x10) + SoftCC + Immob (x5) + Interrupts (x5)
• Hard CC includes: launch, knockback, knockdown, pull, sink, float, stun, fear, taunt
• Soft CC includes: daze, chill, cripple, slow, blind, weakness
• Immobs can be considered a Soft CC but due to it's raised impact this attribute is separated.
• Daze could be considered a Hard CC however ArcDps restricts Hard CC as a 'full loss of control' and I have moved into Soft CC.

Limitations

Some data points are not provided due to a limitation in the game, arcdps or EI.

• Healing: Only players using the Heal Addon on their side with Live Sharing enabled will be represented.
• Long Fights: Fights exceeding ~15 minutes run the risk of not reporting and/or not uploading. Settings exist to manage the maximum upload size.

Troubleshooting

> The program is not doing anything after fights complete.

1. Ensure ArcDps is generating log files. By default this will be in your user profile's Documents folder:
   • Typically under: C:\Users\<User Name>\Documents\Guild Wars 2\addons\arcdps
2. Double check the instructions above regarding ArcDps options. Ensure the squad and enemy size is above the minimum.
3. Ensure in the MzFightReporter Settings tab the 'ArcDps Log Folder #1' is correct. If necessary edit the path accordingly and apply.

> It's not working, I'm stuck.

1. Feel free to ask questions in the Support Discord.
