#

It usually does matter for the highest content only

#

And then you get into a discussion on whose job is it to deal with it

cunning oriole
solid sun
#

Should it be on the dev team to base their decisions around the trickle down effect

#

Or is it on the community to not be doofuses

cunning oriole
#

The answer to that is always the doofuses

solid sun
#

Is it

mighty valley
#

it’s a balance but it’s also not a great idea to put a ton of resources into an item acquisition quest that on balance makes people way more grumpy than happy

solid sun
#

Think about Tazavesh hard mode

#

It became very toxic

#

Is that blizzards responsibility to design around

#

Or the doofuses being toxic

#

A lot of people would say it’s on blizzard

It’s blizzards responsibility to make a game that is well balanced and doesn’t encourage degenerate gameplay, yes

We had this discussion earlier in bear discord, blizzard can’t obviously take fault for the community being shitters or toxic but they can design the game with systems to encourage learning and growth

I actually need to do tazavesh hardmode for achhievement.. who want to do that with me NA

Because they allowed it

drowsy comet
mighty valley
#

they react to the systems and incentives they are presented with

#

If zookeepers put pythons in the same exhibit as little rodent dudes and the pythons ate the rodent dudes, is that the pythons fault, the rodent dudes fault, or the zookeepers

#

This is a flawless example

#

I’m so good

#

No holes at all

undone beacon
#

If you design a system to punish the entire group for the mistake of a sole contributor that’s going to breed resentment. Part of the game and part of life, and there’s an onus on people to not be assholes to eachother but at the same time systems to help players learn and grow and traverse are still lacking

cunning oriole
#

Maybe I don't understand....you're saying people can't do certain content, so they are toxically salty about that...and that's Blizz's fault?

#

Dude I suck at FPS...will never be any good at that type of game...should I be salty at Treyarch, etc?

undone beacon
#

The argument isn’t that people are toxicly salty at better players, it’s that people become assholes to those around them in a system that punishes people not only with wasting time, but falling behind in power (when the whole point of the game for a lot of people is accruing power)

mighty valley
#

imagine if treyarch made a reward that required you to win with Mahkarn on your team and he kept fucking it up for everyone

undone beacon
#

In the hard mode example for instance, I ran it for a few weeks with the guild. A very close friend of mine made a mistake on an easy boss and cost us all the myth piece. It was hard even then to not be outwardly pissy about it because there goes time and effort for nothing

#

I’m not mad at people who finished hard mode though

solid sun
#

Which isn’t to say we can’t have the taz hard mode

#

But it could have been implemented better

mighty valley
#

im back to proposing mandatory game design service for gamers

If I could fix one thing with that mode, would to make it a daily lockout at worst, so ppl could feel they can fail it. Make it less stress ful.

Honestly, should just be resetable, and let ppl grind it down and learn together in an challenged yet more relaxed enviroment.

#

Had friends who really took it hard when they failed the group, not worth the reward at the end.

That’s because you don’t do anything at a level where it matters

i assume youre trying to make a calculator for IP

cuz the formula from wowhead should be it

I was testing in the Dornagal dummy area. I've moved to the Rookery dungeon, and the Ignore Pain tooltip remains unchanged.
Yes, a calculator for Ignore Pain.

Fight through the pain, ignoring {$s2=50}% of damage taken until {$=}{({$s1=0})*(1+{$@=}versadmg)} damage has been prevented

1+ vers%

#

too many multipliers inside vers calc

its 2 seperate brackets multiplied with each other

thats the old tooltip

lusty grotto
#

is there a purpose for calculating these?

#

its a legitimate question, but why would anyone need an IP calculator

#

just for fun maths maybe?

arctic marten
#

Yes. I just didn't realize it could be this complicated for Ignore Pain.
As a comparison, for another absorb-based defensive like Dark Pact, it was as straightforward as reading 'Spell Power * 2.5'.

strong forum
#

you should see the conditionals for the sims i wrote a few years ago xd

well yeah adark pact is a full absorb not a partial one

i cleaned those this week nome

im doing my best not to ruin it

either way its back to oneline cause i wasnt sure that was gonna be parsed that way, i just did it for readability

arctic marten

Um, I feel that I should've understood the explanation, and I apologize that I didn't, but what was the Ignore Pain calculation formula that was found?

lusty grotto
#

oh i wasnt talking about the calculation

remote ocean
#

oh .ty. i couldnt find any. just fishing to 300 tho

lusty grotto
#

you have Atk Power twice

#

and yeah like nome said

#

you have way too many things calculating versa

#

when you can just take the value from your character sheet

#

also whats ignore pain multi

arctic marten
#

The current Ignore Pain attack power mod is listed as 11.9438, so I used that as a multiplier. That's not correct, then?

strong forum
#

dunno, i dont deal with spelldata

that mod is just absorb amount it is the AP mod

not what you add to IP used in the formula from the spell data

Hey guys...this isn't a warrior question, but maybe you know or know a place where I can ask: I have a new guildy that is a brand spanking new WoW player, he just bought a wow sub and Midnight. From what I've seen online, he should have access to TWW stuff from buying midnight, but he doesn't seem to. Anyone know how this should work? How he can get started? Does he still need to buy TWW?

Stats (on my character)
14% versa = 0.14
AP = Str * Battle Shout * Mastery
AP = 699 * 1.05 * 1.142 
AP = 838.1709

--------------------------------------
IP Formula:
(ATP * AP mod * X) *  (1 + Versa)
(838.1709 * 11.9438 * X) * (1 + 0.14 vers)
10,010.94559542 * X * 1.14
11,412.4779787788 x


11,412.4779787788x = IP Tooltip
11,412.4779787788x = 13,736
#

so the ap mod is not 3.5

#

but yeah you got it right

#

ap mod = 11.9438

#

its not exact cause there are more modifiers

#

but thats obviously without BrV

arctic marten
#

The formula above gives 11,630.28, but my tooltip ingame is 13,910.
I am not talented into Brutal Vitality or No Stranger to Pain.
What else could be causing such a big differential?

lusty grotto
#

additional hidden mods

#

ah

#

sorry i got it

#

versa is not

#

the damage increase amount

#

remember defensive portion of versa is half of the value

#

damage/healing = versa amount

#

mit = versa amount / 2

#

as illustrated here

#

so on versa you use the damage taken decrease amount

#

i fixed the formula above

#

theres a lot of decimal values etc involving versa that are probably rounded into tooltips

#

so its not gonna be exact

arctic marten
lusty grotto
#

its .05

#

thats just an error, but the math is right

#

well actually let me check

#

oop nope

#

good catch

#

ok that definitely throws everything out

arctic marten
#

The differential is too large to be a mere rounding error, and while this is purely a guess on my side, I suspect either the formula is wrong, or at least one additional multiplier is absent. This was the same issue Nomeratur ran into earlier, when he was trying to figure out the formula. Do you have any idea what it could be?

lusty grotto
#

only blizzard knows

#

we're missing something for sure, but there's no reason why it would be different than what it is in the tooltip

#

the zero is the problem

#

we have part of it due to older iterations of IP having Atk Power explicitly in the tooltip

#

and AP mod being a listed thing in spell data

#

but there is something else in there for sure

#

the zero is just a black box

arctic marten
#

Is that the conclusion, that the formula is simply not known at this time?

lusty grotto
#

if you consider the formula not known by only missing a variable, then sure

spare tartan
lusty grotto
#

i highly recommend not talking to the dmg guy btw

#

youre very likely not gonna get anywhere with him

arctic marten
#

Well, if even Nomeratur couldn't solve it, then I guess it really is impossible.
Thank you for taking the time to try and help.

lusty grotto
#

there is a way

#

we have known values, can just solve for x

lusty grotto
#

but its late and i dont wanna math anymore, id rather play

spare tartan
#

cus alot of people throwing around formula and no one really knows exactly. i if somone can figured out my logs can help

lusty grotto
#

nobody cares about your logs

arctic marten
lusty grotto
#

hmm

#

is it a multiplier to ATP?

#

or im guessing youre assuming it is

spare tartan
#

any again any time i post something an instanty block message pops up. some thing is wrong with these guys for really. they alike jealous ex girlfriends.

#

i dont understand

arctic marten
# lusty grotto is it a multiplier to ATP?

Entirely guesswork, but under the assumption that the rest of the formula is accurate (impossible to verify), and that exactly one unknown multiplier is missing (also impossible to verify), Goal Seek would be this to match the ingame tooltip:

(852 * 11.9438) * (1 + 0.1429) * 1.196015423```
lusty grotto
#

ok gotcha

arctic marten
#

I'm giving up. Maybe Nomeratur will return to bless us some day

lusty grotto
#

i'd say its more in line with Atk Power * AP Mod * X but either works

#

so basically zero (black box) = Atk Power * AP Mod * X

#

also if you want reference you can look at the changelog for IP, thats how we know AP is calculated in - remember this is an older version, im just putting it here to show the differences in tooltips

#

i fixed the formula above and put strike throughs on the stuff that i dont think is relevant, just in case we want to search back to this discussion

#

also its definitely the full versa amount and not the damage reducing factor

#

@arctic marten im suspecting its mastery

#

the problem

#

we're using Strength as AP

#

but not taking into consideration mastery

#

i dont have a character sheet with AtP values

#

but

#

let me check with just math

solid sun
#

You’re waffling on sleep ya goober

lusty grotto
#

yeah i mean mastery should be one of the multipliers on Attack power for sure

#

but it still doesnt quite get there

#

gets close though

#

any addition to AP will do it

#

racials (if any), etc

arctic marten
lusty grotto
#

i see

#

mine didnt at least

#

tested on my 2 warriors and i get x being 1.170 and 1.206

#

just wanted to check if it was a constant

what can you do 🤷‍♂️

unkempt hazel
lusty grotto
#

im obsessed now with solving this

#

just to think its kinda irrelevant due to the tooltip reflecting the information

#

@arctic marten sorry for the ping

#

but i figured it out

#

its our weapon

#

i had forgotten all about mastery and weapon factoring into AP

#

but i have to confirm cause its possible your addon isn't taking it into account when displaying AP numbers

#

you can see it if you equip a weapon without strength

#

the IP tooltip changes

#

equip and unequip

#

luckily i still had this from DF s2

#

equipped

#

not equipped

mystery solved

so the IP formula (for Midnight Prepatch 12.0.1) effectively is:

IP = (AP * AP mod) * (1 + Versatility)
or
IP = (AP * 11.9438) * (1 + Versatility)

where:
AP = STR * (1 + Mastery) * (unknown Weapon calculation)

and my brain goes into looking to why its failing

the other day heard a song I haven't in a while and with that song came some memories of playing a certain game

and it now bothers me that I cant remember what it was

what platform was the game on

unkempt hazel
#

pc

#

prolly back in windows xp days

lusty grotto

yeah that shit just drives me nuts

and like the only things I kinda distinctly remember is it was about cards (kinda like gwent or some such) and some knight in green ish armor

I meant more like gwent within w3 lol

a cards wc3 mod?

unkempt hazel

I mean witcher 3

lusty grotto

the only wc3 mods that i remember are DotA and Aeon of Strife - and also the Dreadlord one that you needed to figure out who it was

#

yeah i know gwent

unkempt hazel

pretty sure it was before wc3 but then again idk even anymore

#

altho maybe it was browser game too

mighty valley
#

ff8 and 9 had card games in them

unkempt hazel

but yeah if it was a random browser game it could’ve been anything

When taking a big hit with Stance Mastery Defensive Stance, is the entire hit reduced by 15%, or only some portion of it?

lusty grotto
#

thats a complicated question

#

its 15% dr

#

so obviously its multiplicative with any other dr thats in place its an absorb

#

but a scenario where that would trigger would probably not happen with additional dr aside from def stance

drowsy comet
#

Morning fart smellers!

lusty grotto
#

or well its only 20% of hp, so it will happen more often than not

arctic marten
#

I was thinking of Will of the Necropolis, where only part if the incoming hit was reduced, but it sounds like that isn't applicable here. Thanks.

Yes

Its applied to the hit that would take u below 30

Sample scenario, I have 100HP, take a post-mit 100HP hit to the face, only remaining calc in that dam taken being BSV - will the hit kill me or will it cut off the

D4 got better since Bobby Slopdick left Blizzard and you feel that in the game, same as Rod Fergusson, this old gramps ruined D4 from the start

i need to stop throwing slurs, i know mods are listening..

solid sun

I really don’t think they had much to do with d4 at all

daring marlin

Sounds like vibes

solid sun

D4 has progressively gotten more things added to it from D3

So more people are starting to like D4 more as a result

D4 is better simply cuz they added Paladin

I gotta play that again

So they’ve been changing it

Rod FOR SURE had a big hand in this next expac.

# daring marlin Rod didn't leave THAT LONG ago.

You notice that after a few seasons since he left. Just look at how more open the Diablo devs are compared to while they were at Rod. Oh and fun fact, this guy blocked me on Twitter because I called him out on why he ruins D4 so much lol

drowsy comet

many felt the same that it may be the art style or the color scheme

Isn't Rod a notorious blocker? lol

I never got the complaints people had about D3 til powercreep went insane.

I liked RoS. Shame they stopped expacs there.

Diablo Immortal should have been an D3 expansion

lowkey

solid sun
#

I think art style and graphically, D4 has been great

daring marlin

I actually stopped playing D4 a bit after the first expac cuz I hated the class and the setting

drowsy comet

still not sure if I should buy the new D4 expansion tho, maybe maybe idk. 2 weeks till Midnight imma play D2R, then Midnight, 3 weeks or so after that M+. then a month of grinding. Then D4 expansion O.o so much ngl

I like Druid

Add in that the class was super giga busted it wasn't fun to play with them trivializing everything

release new class, make it incredible powerful, release dope skins for certain class, nerf class after the season

going on with Paladin rn, and will happen with Warlock too, look

Paladin at least is out now before the expac. If it's a crazy outlier SURELY they'll adjust. 🙂
