Wiki PSA for the Game Mechanics page

[DeathsSilkyMist]

Yesterday Cecily trolled the https://wiki.project1999.com/Game_Mechanics wiki page. Luckily he has been dealt with, but unfortunately Bcbrown and Loramin transcribed the combat formulas incorrectly in a few places.

Hopefully this will be fixed soon. For now, you can get the accurate information here:

https://wiki.project1999.com/Combat_Mechanics

On the game mechanics page, the Archery section should look something like:

DamageDoneModifier = 1
If Archery:
DamageDoneModifier = 2
If Archery and Ranger and Mob is not Rooted and Mob is not Moving:
DamageDoneModifier = 1

DamageDone = DamageDone / DamageDoneModifier

On the game mechanics page, the ExtraPercent calculation is missing the maxExtra clamp. It should look something like:

ExtraPercent = 100 + (BaseBonus * <random value between 0.0 and 1.0>)
If ExtraPercent > maxExtra:
ExtraPercent = maxExtra

Oh no!! I bet least two 45 year old diabetic underemployed men lost 0.0005% of their efficiency while the dopamine drip of 8 bit elves played on their screens!!!!1

Bcbrown fixed his error with the archery check. But he put the clamp for the ExtraPercent at the bottom, which is incorrect. It should be directly below this line:

ExtraPercent = 100 + (BaseBonus * <random value between 0.0 and 1.0>)

It should look like:

ExtraPercent = 100 + (BaseBonus * <random value between 0.0 and 1.0>)
If ExtraPercent > maxExtra:
ExtraPercent = maxExtra

Hopefully he will fix it soon. Unfortunately he didn't do a great job in transcribing the formula to pseudocode. This was not my work.

This whole saga has been interesting to watch unfold, I must say....

Indeed. It honestly concerns me. People go absolutely mad when the wiki gets updated to be better. Posters like Cecily actively trolled the wiki to prevent any change.

I just don't understand the destructive and obsessive nature of this.

I would have thought by now that the mechanics of the game were already well known. But I guess we all still have new things to learn about this marvelous game

DSM wiki banned again? ROFL

Cecily was suspended for trolling the wiki. Finally some action is being taken against wiki trolls. Samoht is another wiki troll by the way. He changed the ranking system on a wiki challenge page to give a forum user a lower rank to troll them. He had never edited this wiki page's rank system before the dispute.

OP now deserves a B

Yeah, it moved him from a B- on the new scale to a B.

...

lol, S is no longer the highest ranking.

Hopefully this will serve as a warning to you.

A year ago no one really knew the specifics of how AC actually worked either, surprisingly.

If cha affected charm duration or not was also debated until someone actually measured it.

Stuff like that comes from time to time. "it's been parsed to death" is the equivalent of "trust me bro".

This is 100% accurate. Unfortunately there are people on these forums who claim to have parsed some system extensively, yet they rarely (if ever) provide the parses when asked for said parses.

They do the "trust me bro" routine instead, often times mixed with trolling and/or personal attacks.
