HG battles
Author: Wayzen
Due to the high amount of presents from Administration for the 1st of March we missed 1 paragraph:
12. The basic amount of all creatures in Hunter’s Guild is reduced – all current huntings have become easier.
-So what was the amount of creatures that was reduced in our hunts?
-Let’s find out!
Reducing happened to be based on some fixed percentage.
But, first of all, let’s refresh our memory with formula for increasing in hunts:
where:
N – new amount of creatures;
n – old amount (before victory over them);
u – skill points that were gained in previous victory.
Now let’s see what happened to our neutrals in hunts using some examples.
Example #1
Before reducing:
18-02-15 13:56: Wayzen[14] vs Death envoys (265)
Using the formula mentioned above, we can calculate that next time we should have met 265 * 1,3^1 = 344 Death envoys.
After it:
24-03-15 01:14: Wayzen[14] vs Death envoys (261)
It’s not hard to calculate that 261 = 344 – 24%
Note: let no one be confused that in the first battle Wayzen has got 1,1 SP, but in calculation we take only 1. If you have a closer look on the same formula, you can see that the power is limited by interval [0.2;1]. Administration has also provided that players using Abu Bakir’s charm will not additionally receive increased number of neutrals.
Example #2
Before reducing:
30-03-14 14:38: ULTRA_XEROX[9] vs Grotesques (363)
Next time there should have been 363 * 1,3^1 = 472 Grotesques.
But instead of it we have:
24-03-15 05:20: ULTRA_XEROX[9] vs Grotesques (359)
359 = 472 - 24%
Example #3
Before reducing:
25-02-15 00:20: Светлана[19] vs Tribal goblins (994835)
Next time there should have been 994837 * 1.3^0,73 = 1204841 Tribal goblins.
But instead of it we have:
08-03-15 18:56: Светлана[19] vs Tribal goblins (915679)
915679 = 1204841 - 24%
Note: correctness of our calculations – 204841 Tribal goblins (as expected to be met next time) is proved by 27-02-15 22:12 Светлана[19] vs Tribal Goblins (1204841), alas that time they were victorious.
-So, we have calculated this fixed percentage, we know that Administration has reduced the amount of our neutrals – 24%. What is the result?
-They have “rolled” our hunts 1 step back from our HG limit (where we are stuck or will be). They “presented” us some HG points. How many of them?
-Let’s find out!
The number of neutral creatures’ species in hunts doesn’t depend on player’s level, but on his HG level. We can create a table with allowed number of creatures’ species on each HG level:
Looking at this table and your own HG level, you can clearly see how many HG points you have received as a gift.
Note: these words are true for those who haven’t reached HG limit yet. For those who are already stuck there – one step changes nothing, thus strengthening AI creates new difficulties to repeat the record.
