Doom and Things (Re: 17 days in Doom)

If you killed 1000 DF's, if the points where out of 100, you'd only be at around 6.3 points.

That's not what I'm trying to say, I'm saying that given the amount of kills that it takes to get to that point level, you have so many instances of a low chance, thus all together have a decent chance of having gotten one after that many times. If I kill lady mel for instance 1000 times, it's 2.5% chance each time, but overall it's much higher since I did it 1000 times.

The chance for an artifact in the old system was like .05% or something retarded low and they still dropped regularly... you don't need to get 100 points to get an artifact.... in fact mathematically you would have better odds of dropping 2 artifacts in a row than reaching 100 points without getting one. As mb already said use some common sense

That's exactly what I was trying to say, given the amount of kills it takes to build points, you have a very high chance of getting an arty, even with what seems to be a low amount of points, just because of kill quantity.

Not to mention once you accumulate 50 points you have a 50% chance of getting an artifact so then you are gonna continue to fail over and over with 50/50 odds? Fail to roll over and over while accumulating fractions of a point from each kill... how about at 75 points when statistically for every 4 mobs you kill you would likely get arty roll on three of them. Still failing to roll over and over and over and over to reach 100%??? Congratulations Reximus you win the title of head retard July 2014

You guys are too dumb to communicate with.

Eos said:
Most people receive an artifact at 0.3-0.7 accumulated points.

In the observed Doom drops from May 18 to June 18, 118 drops (70%) occurred before reaching 0.7 accumulated points, 148 drops (87%) occurred before reaching 1.0 points, and the highest point accumulation one person got was 2.27.

It's obvious it's out of 1.0 not 100, otherwise you'd have to kill some crazy amount like 16,000 DF's to have 100 points with the points system, if "Most people receive an artifact at 0.3-0.7 accumulated points." and it was out of 100, the point system effectively doesn't do anything.

The code would be simply...

<the formula for points for the boss just killed>
totalPoints += pointsThisBoss;

if (totalPoints > Utility.RandomDouble())
{
if (alreadyGivenToSomeoneElse)
{
// no artie
return;
}
if (some other way to fail check)
return;
//give artie, points reset to 0, set alreadyGivenToSomeoneElse to true
}
else
{
// no artie
return;
}

There must be some other way to fail the check with 1.0 points other than someone else getting one on every boss killed over 1.0, otherwise with "Most people receive an artifact at 0.3-0.7 accumulated points.", the guy getting 2.27 would be statistically impossible, I'm guessing that even passing the points check and the nooneelsegotone check, you then only have 50/50 to get one.

How about reading the words you deleted that are directly before what you're quoting?

Because the roll is out of 100, this means that once you've collected 100 points, a roll is guaranteed to succeed. (Unless someone rolls successfully for the artifact before you do, but then their points will reset and you will likely win the next roll.) In practice, however, people never reach 100 points. Most people receive an artifact at 0.3-0.7 accumulated points.

In the observed Doom drops from May 18 to June 18, 118 drops (70%) occurred before reaching 0.7 accumulated points, 148 drops (87%) occurred before reaching 1.0 points, and the highest point accumulation one person got was 2.27.

There's no reason to concern yourself with "dark fathers til 100" because you would never even get past 5%. Statistically improbable to fail that many rolls in a row even at 1/20 odds.

So noone got over 2.27% chance of getting an artifact with the point system before getting one? I'll go with my theory.

Yes that is exactly what Eos said in the quote you posted way above almost word for word...


And it's not a theory its fact based on a mathematical forumula written in the code...

do you also have a theory that 2 + 2 = 6 ??

I bet you do....

And that given the amount of increase in the points kill for kill, it becomes incredibly unlikely not to get one. For example, having to kill 50 bosses to get from 2% chance to 2.5%, you get many separate instances of low chances, eventually making it practically impossible not to get one, way before you reach 100%.

~12 hours in Doom:



i'm sitting here and cry like a little bitch, where is my valuable items?

does anybody get any artys from DF?

in total i have around ten artys which dropped from lesser bosses and not one from df

and there one thing what i'm doesnt understand, "points" which we are talking about here - accumulate from creep to creep? or theoretically i can kill boss get arty, go to the next room and get arty too?

ive gotten probably 70% of my 26 artifacts from dfs

yes you can you start off with a minimal base % chance to get an artifact, after every boss you gain points which increase that percent chance. When you get an artifact you lose these points and start over at the base % chance again.

Since the point system came out I'very gotten 7 artis, all of them from the rooms. The DF give more points than then rooms but its just random chance....

It means that from the 1v1 pvp events you are ranked 2026 and lvl 1 showladder does not actully give you any info on doom or the point system.


then, we have no chance to see how many points left to get an arty right?

edit: btw that ranking belongs to my tamer having 1585 luck.
