tomany 7 Posted July 19, 2012 Does the average life expectancy include respawns? if so, why isnt it lower? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WarraW 17 Posted July 19, 2012 Because people last for hours...and some last for 1-3 minutes.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DevilsmilE 1 Posted July 19, 2012 because obviously it doesnt? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaElite121 16 Posted July 19, 2012 some get a bad spawn and just force-kill so that probably doesn't help things either. I'm on my second run through (first REAL run-through) and I've been alive for quite awhile.. several real days. Not bad for a first timer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xwhitemousex 67 Posted July 19, 2012 Life expectancy is going up.It was 34 minutes a few days ago... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JPalmer 3 Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) The average is based on how long you survive in game first off. 20 minutes in game and 20 minutes not playing would be a 20minute character. You have to be alive for a certain amount of time for your life to count towards the average. I have no clue what it is, but my guess is 5 minutes.

Mourek 40 Posted July 19, 2012 it just skyrocketed today, yesterday it was like 36 mins or so. now it's over 40 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skyter 299 Posted July 19, 2012 my guess if they changed the formula for figuring it out, or people got sick of playing leaving more veterans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
schmotto 32 Posted July 19, 2012 I think it's 5 minutes, but only from 3rd party information, nothing confirmed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tarin4med@gmail.com 10 Posted July 19, 2012 I believe I read a post somewhere on here that states any death withing 2 minutes of that life doesn't count towards the life expectancy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Survivor-Kyle 148 Posted July 19, 2012 It could be because of the growing number of medics extending people's worthless lives. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZedsDeadBaby 2287 Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) people got sick of playing leaving more veterans.Averages do not work that way...Respawns are not included. Vipeax has confirmed on multiple occasions. Edited July 19, 2012 by ZedsDeadBaby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vipeax 318 Posted July 19, 2012 I changed the "formula" a bit. The way it is now it should be really accurate. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FrostDMG 398 Posted July 19, 2012 IS TOO DAMN HIGH.But yeah I noticed the rise from 36min to 46 min :o Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whattteva 32 Posted July 19, 2012 I honestly think that number is way off. I probably only have 1-2 lives that are not respawns with that short of a span. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZedsDeadBaby 2287 Posted July 19, 2012 I honestly think that number is way off. I probably only have 1-2 lives that are not respawns with that short of a span.The game is getting like ~20,000 new players per day. Each of those people probably spawn and run to the nearest town and die at least 5-10 times each before starting to change their play pattern.So you're talking about 100,000-200,000 deaths every day that are probably in the area of 5-15 minutes.It takes a lot to offset that kind of volume... For example, if you have one 80 hour survival (4800 minutes) and 99 10 minute survivals, that gives you an average of 33.95 minutes.So not hard to see why the number stays so low.
