The board treats each recurring issue in r/WarDogs like a listed stock. Its price is the share of posts talking about it, so you can see at a glance what the community is raising more or less than usual.
How the quotes are made
24h share is the percentage of new posts in the last 24 hours that are about an issue. One post can be about several issues, so shares don't add up to 100.
Change compares that share with the issue's average daily share over the previous 7 days, in percentage points. Moves under half a point are shown as flat.
Each day's share uses every new post once we hold 100 or more for that day. Earlier days use the month's top posts instead, which lean toward popular threads. Days with fewer than 15 posts are marked as a thin sample.
How posts are sorted into issues
Every post and comment is read by Jev, a classification model from TypeSafe AI. Jev doesn't write text. It answers fixed questions with a probability, and we ask it the same ones about every post:
- Does this say anything about the game at all?
- For each of the 14 issues: is this genuinely about it? A passing mention doesn't count.
- What kind of post is it (bug report, complaint, suggestion, question, praise, meme…), and how does the author feel about the game?
A post counts toward an issue when Jev puts the chance at 40% or more. Posts with almost nothing to say about the game (under 30%) still count in the day's total but toward no issue. The whole history was labelled with the same model version (jev-1.13.0), so past and present quotes are comparable.
Before Jev, issues were matched with keyword rules. They are still used for anything Jev hasn't labelled yet, and to spot patch notes and official statements in post titles. A model can still misread sarcasm or very short posts, so treat small moves with care.
Sources
Public r/WarDogs posts and comments, collected every few hours. Reddit's feeds carry no vote scores, so a post's rank in the month's top list stands in for engagement.
Steam is read separately: the studio's announcements and the General and Report a Problem forums. It is never mixed into the Reddit figures. Steam announcements and developer replies count as first-hand official word. Statements relayed on Reddit are counted but not verified.
Other figures
Gold price is the price players quote most often on a day, when three or more posts agree. It is what players report, not an official figure.
Faction tone counts positive and negative words in posts that mention a team colour. It is a rough, consistent signal, not a verdict.
Words on the move compares how often words appear in the last 5 days against the period before.
What we publish
Only aggregates and links to public posts. No usernames or post text appear on the board. This is independent analysis, not affiliated with Bulkhead, Reddit or Valve.
