Why not release to the player base the drop rate percents on items. Something like what runescape does with drop percents on major endgame items. It creates a thrill to getting the items.

Depending on the item (or more specifically, the source), this is really easy or unfathomably complex piece of information to give to players.

I think he means dg drop chances. It is quite hard to figure out drop chance of bursts for example.

Items in an actual drop list all have relative probabilities.
Code: <DROPLIST> <ITEM name="Sticky Organic Webbing" level="1.50" prob="0.75"/> <ITEM name="Gloopy Organic Webbing" level="1.50" prob="0.50"/> <ITEM name="Gloopy Organic Webbing" level="2.0" prob="1.00"/> <ITEM name="Gunky Organic Webbing" level="2.0" prob="0.5"/> </DROPLIST> This is the Organic Webbing drop list from GSAs. The chance of getting Gunky Webbing is 0.5 / (0.75+0.5+1.0+0.5). Which comes to 0.1818.... That's not too complicated, but the level bit also modifies the probabilities before hand. The difference in "level" will multiply the probability down on a bell curve, so that the further away you are from the level of the item, the less likely it is. For DGs, this level is proportional to the DF. Also, the DG lists are made up of multiple lists (about 10 or more) which are then added together in code when the roll is done, doing this bell curve stuff. _________________ "What you mean you killed him cha cha cha?!"

Does star sonata really use the 2000s korean game mechanics? The drop rates should not be given to players, they should keep tracks of their loots on their own. It's not difficult and if entire teams kept logs of their loots then they could quickly get an estimate drop rates. I did that for every pps dg/endgame boss and I enjoyed that feature. Giving just the list of items that drop would save players from unnecessary grind. Can some admin confirm that drop chances depend on the differene between player's and npc's level? |

IE a Gigantic GnT is less likely to drop off an MF BG than a 2.8k wattage. _________________ ~DarkSteel / Auxilium Universe Map: http://www.starsonata.com/map/ |

It is based by default off the tech of the hull of the AI, but we can offset or override it completely in the spawner on a per-list basis. As I said before, for DGs it's based on the DF. _________________ "What you mean you killed him cha cha cha?!" Support |
