My right hand to god, I'm not trolling. But I never think it will be addressed. so it's kind of fruitless to talk about. Also I'm never bringing this up to cause harm to P99, It's just one of those things.

I mean, I certainly am not going to sit here and tell you that you are wrong... however, there are two things to consider:
The first is that you literally would have to dig through years of log data to show this to be true (LoLN). The second is that true randomness is streaky AF. | ||

Oh yeah, I should have been more clear. What I meant is that going through old logs is useless unless you recorded a specific test session prior to the perceived change and can run that exact same test under the exact same conditions as before. Since no one just creates test cases and runs them for posterity just in case something changes later, old logs won't work. In essence there are too many uncontrolled variables.
What we're left with is the current RNG, which can be tested for standard dev and proper RNG distribution and streaky-ness. So a little bit of work and we can see if the RNG is truly R or at least acceptably so. But we'll never be able to tell if charm is breaking more than before unless we look at the charm code. | ||

Charm had a lot of minor bugs that made it harder to use in classic. None of them on their own was a big deal but added up together they were a significant pain in the arse.
Charmed pets fleeing when low on hp, sometimes attacking people in your party, if you told them to "sit down" they'd wander off, people getting hit through their pets by melee even at long range from the mob, pets would classically take a share of party xp as an extra group member if they outdamaged the whole group (I bugged this one on p99), and there are more if I search my old charm posts. Lots of little things that added up to a brake on charm. Another one I just thought of is that lower frame rates meant you were pushed more and for longer when hit in melee, set your FPS to 15 and try it. This made channeling harder. | ||
