Game Mechanics: Mellee miss rate seems excessively high.

Haynar, two questions...
1. For the hard data that you have, at what point or levels do you feel the miss rate is off slightly?
2. What is the current hit/miss formula?

I understand if you dont want to post the formula for the world to see, PM's work.

I am not going to debate what is correct or not. What is right or not. If you remember back in velious, everyone had a parser. And everyone knew how AC worked. And everyone knew that HP > All. And they were wrong.

There are tons of parses on the monk boards. The warrior boards. And Brael over at the SK boards just rocks. I hear he plays a char here sometimes too.

The list of people who have figured out a large part of how it really works is long.

The list of people who think they know how it really works, but don't, is longer.

I am an open source type of guy. I am all for sharing code, but this is not an open source project. But I will post links to the resources I use for figuring out information. There are lots of gaps at the low end. So much of that is just guessing, and extrapolating (with adjustments) to live.

The miss rates currently, are not off much from what classic was. So I am going to quit responding to people who complain about miss rates. And this thread. If you need hard evidence, that this is how classic really was, then go build yourself a time machine, and go back to 1999.
