Being a mathematicians, it is all just luck imo.

Being a poor and indecisive college kid makes me not care.

Just a dumb question but... would 1-hit owning a mob with powercast/strike classify that mob as being weak? Or is that just a silly hunch and the only real mob scaling would be normals being "easier" than say wells / evils / objectives.

Drop quantity calculation has been rewritten and re-factored to be more dependent on the relative difficulty of the monster you are fighting (translation: more drops for harder mobs!)

Food for thought.

during the time ppl were cheating the system? I don't know floor, but I could see that type of behavior coming from legirotto so you don't really prove anything

amigo, i dunno. it's theory that really bothered me this morning that remains untested by myself. My theory was that it was based on recorded click to kill a monster as it's obvious that lower geared/new players need to click a mob more to kill it. Hence, that's an easy way to calculate ones "eliteness" and use that as a means to "weight" the drops.

Yeah, leticia was actually abusing the bug on 2/7, and FlooR did it on 2/9.

I'm sure they abused the bug that was fixed in December, in February. It seems like this is pretty close to the logic you were using when you discovered this mod, tbh. Dat engineering logic at work!

kill speed has no bearing for sure, people load up with ml gear and kills take longer with no different success.

he was clearly being sarcastic to make a point. Language barrier is in place here I think.

Joe was trying to be clever and belittle my oversight of inspecting the dates of the posts. His oversight is that I don't care anymore

Less items to drop?

I have been doing a decent amount of solo slashing and it seems to me that when you powercast/strike for the kill on a evil presence that you do not get as many item drops.

Has anyone else noticed this or am I just paranoid/unlucky.

Let me explain further by saying: When I powercast on a EP for the kill I seem to get more tier I/II items vs when I dont use skills and kill I get more items that are around my level.

Discuss

Its just you, like all of your other hair brained observations.
