Rate of fire upgrade "50%" actually means add 100% to ROF

Post by Reg312 »

Just discovered Rate of fire upgrade "50%" actually means "add 100% to rate of fire"

17% upgrade to ROF means 20% increase effect
34% means 51% increase effect
50% means +100% increase effect

it works that way because 50% is substracted from FirePause.
e.g. 400 firepause minus 50% is 200 firepause.
formula: effect = 1/(1 - upgrade_percent), e.g. mg_rof1 = 1(1-0.17) = 1.2


I want fix it, if we see 50% in stats - this should mean: +50% to rate-of-fire.
so ROF upgrades should be corrected to real values and game formula should work another way

sadly. i created ticket #3958 and it was closed. i create tickets when i want to make patch. what wrong with to-do tickets? i

Trac is used for bugs & patches.
It isn't really meant to have any other function. It isn't a forum, nor should it be used to discuss potential (future) patches / improvements / new features / or anything that isn't a bug or an actual patch.

The process is, people should ask about X on forums. Have people discuss it, plan it out during discussions, and then finally, when patch is ready, it should be put on trac.

I am not sure why that is hard to understand. :hmm:

Personally, I don't see this as needing any sort of changes anytime soon.

in original warzone dynamics of ROF upgrades is very different than dynamics of damage upgrades.
damage 25% 20% 16% 14%..etc
rof 18% 21% 30%

each next ROF upgrade stronger than previous.
i think it is confusing (at least for me)

I noticed, which was why I decided to switch to a more consistent system of upgrades (which was exponential by nature) when developing Contingency.
