Playerstats correct playtime

[Nepmia]

playerstatistic have meta, meta include total playtime.

But the numbed given by the API is not correct, seems the normal number got divided by 5. sadly we don't have the exact number so we can't really process this info correctly.

Actually the number is 4.7 btw

[Nepmia]

yes but WHY it is divided by 4.7

[TrapinchO]

That is the question we all ask. Perhaps it shows exact playtime, but in strange unit

I don't know if it's true, but I think someone once explained that wynn caches every 5 minute (more or less) the players online, and to determine the playtime it checks how many times that player was online in the cached online players..... and the Api returns that number instead of the number*5.

Anyway changing the returned data now will break most if not all the apps using the playtime from stats route....so it's probably best to leave it as it is.

Why 4.7 instead of 5 I have no idea, personally on wynndata I use 5 and it seems to work fine.

[TrapinchO]

Interesting theory.

In my testing and testing of the author of Wynndata 4.7 proved to be the best.

Instead of changing the returned data and risking breaking things the documentation for the API should at least be updated to reflect the fact that it is minutes online / 4.7 instead of just minutes online.
