This Is How We Roll: Decision-Making While Rolling

#22

XD who else skipped the whole thing just to see how long it was.


#23

fuck the horrors of prob and stat class are flooding back now

y’all hear sumn?


#25

Okay, that warrants a :laughing:…and a trip straight to the Level 20 probability tables. :slight_smile:


#26

I see that they just released an 8 pack of these in the store (packages tab). With XP boosters helping to fasten the pace of leveling it barely seems worth even the discounted cost.

Historically, I have used the image three times and have always received a 0 or positive hp/no roll, but that is not statistically sound. Has anyone used them and recieved a negative roll?


#27

Sorry I missed the assumption that you only check the roll once.


#28

I think I used two of them and once rolled 0 and the other time -8 iirc.


#29

From my Sorc, that I used it on:

I could probably put the other one I got (from the Oryxmas Mystery Gift) on my Samurai and see what I get.

i have an idea!
if the roll was above average, the stats would be in a green color, like this:+30 HP
if the roll was below average, the stats would be in a red color, like this:+20 HP
this could only be applicable to the hp and mp stats, or it could be added to every stat.


#31

Or just have something track the roll progress and give you the equivalent of /tell MrEyeball stats.

Honestly I’m so bad at remembering stuff, keeping track of 9 lvl ups and their respective changes to the roll is too challenging ;-;. Especially when I use my extraordinarily big brain to compute 2 + 2 = 5


#32

So, something along the lines of…

Options -> General -> Show stat incr. on level up

As well as

Command: /stats - Shows the difference in stats compared to average stats at that level

Well, that’s just your thoughts translated into my thoughts, translated into my words. Sort of.


#33

Wait… this is not necessarily true if you stop early

Edit: Also how did you create the cumulative Q probabilities table? I’m guessing a Mathematica program to do all the generating functions for you? Or did you manually sum them all up lol

Edit 2: Oh oops sniped by Mynamerr


#34

… rank of that roll or better


#35

No, it’s not, but the math gets all ugly and recursive when you begin to take that into account. Simply taking this one decision into account, on its own, in a relative vacuum, makes things a bit simpler. I do plan on addressing this, however.

 

Excel. It hardly took any time at all. Once I share the spreadsheet things should be much more apparent.

 

That kind of goes without saying, of course. Still, is what “percentile rank” means, good sir.

I got a -1 hp on my knight, have to drink an extra life pot now. rip

Wow. Wtf. So much math. Why and what.

what job do you have if you don’t mind me asking

I’m a mathematician and I appreciate this greatly.


#39

So you just did a bunch of math to confirm with 100% accuracy what seems like common sense? Neat.
