Question for Derrick/Faust

Post by RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR »

Hey i was curious, how do you guys get accurate numbers for skill gain here? Is it possible to get it from the demo or do you just do what feels right?

And i just wanted to say that this shard is the best Ever and please keep making it as T2A accurate as possible even though some players don't like it.

Skill gain has been a work in progress since we've opened, but there have been very few changes recently in actual gain rates. Some gain chance formulas have been tweaked, based on what we know about those specific skills, but generally all skill gain uses a single formula and is based on relative dificulty of the attampt.

Im glad you're haveing a good time! :D

BTW Derrick, (or anyone else in the know for that matter) why has the Power Hour ommited? Was it not part of this ERA? Or is the formula for it complicated? Or has it been deemed an unecessary feature. Personally I used to love Power hour. However if skill raises are spread evenly through out the day, I'm not complaining. Haven't been stuck on any particular skill i.e. not getting raises, and this is due to all the amazing guides I might hasten to add :)

Aye, this was a late era feature and came in as the same time as the anti-macro initiative which required players to move (8x8) to gain skill, which we also don't have.
