Important DAOC Formulas

[Tarcon]

If your level 20, your rp's per kill must be caped. I've recieved over 1.2k at times from a kill, from time to time, usually solo kills. Often in a group, specialy in a zerg, I wouldn't recieve more then say, a few hundread.

Your level 20 character, is caping out on his gains per kill no doubt. Mythic puts in those restrictions to keep things from going way out of control.

If your a Low realm rank character and you solo kill a high realm rank character, 2k rp's for the kill isn't out of the question.

They recently changed the RVR server formulas to match the PVP server formulas. The to-hit clamp has been removed and the RPS clamp has been removed as well I believe. I could look it up on the herald but I'm too lazy. This further supports my theory that all things evolve towards PVP.

Any ideas on "You are too close to an enemy to hide!" formula? Seems range is affected by stealth spec only, "enemy" level is not included.

For "enemy uncovers you!" formula level should be included; is chance changing with distance to enemy or spec?

Any idea of how the buff's are computed ???
Because I've only seen the buff cap formula's...
I bet the buff formula take a lot more variable like receiver level, caster level, buff specpoints....

It's similar to heal formula:
factor = Math.Min(1.25, 0.25 + (lineSpec-1)/Spell.Level);
buffValue= spell.Value * factor;

edit: maybe they use just lineSpec (without -1), not sure now...

[Aavan]

Ok, but what is Math.Min ?

[nor]

Math.Min Method (Double, Double)
Return Value
Parameter val1 or val2, whichever is smaller. If val1, val2, or both val1 and val2 are equal to NaN, NaN is returned.

PS lineSpec should be float else you get funny results.

Ok thank you !

Doesnt sound right to me.

that 1.25 should be 1.5 for spec buff's like str/con dex/quick
but for piety buff there is no 1.5 cap so it can go very high.

So i think it should be
if buff = spec {
if buff = str/con or dex/quick {
factor = Math.Min(1.5, 0.5 + (lineSpec-1)/Spell.Level) + toa buff bonus;
}
if buff = piety {
factor = (lineSpec-1)/Spell.Level + toa buff bonus;
}
}
if buff = base{
factor=Math.Min(1,(lineSpec-1)/Spell.Level) + toa buff bonus)
}

Tests show that they use this formula for buff effectivness:

Code: Select all

int effectivness = 75+(specLevel-1)*50/spellLevel;
if(effectivness>125)
effectivness = 125;
else if (effectivness<75)
effectivness = 75;

It has nothing to do with 1.25 cap on base line buff and 1.25*1.5 cap on spec line. If spec buff level is same as spec it is less effective than on buffLevel+1, proves that they use spec-1 everywhere.

And again info on the web is incorrect. I saw 25-125%% everywhere...

just an info for the rp formula:

if a lvl 50 kills another lvl 50 you get 900rp base, + RR - 10,
example: you are lvl 50 and kill an lvl 50 8l8 char then u'll geht 978 rp. Your own RR doesn't matter.

So formula has to fit with that ;>

Any changes are from keepbonus, groupbonus a.s.o.
