Yes please address this while you're at it Bort. It only really makes sense to diminish chance to fire SAs.
I still want to take them over 10.
They all diminish I think. They better question is, say shed block 1-10 gives a 5% chance to break block, does 11-20 give 4%, or is it 4.5 4.4 4.2 4.1 3.9 3.5 etc, and gets lower from 11-20. That is what I want to know

So does this mean that EQ will have gone to waste and won't make my player faster at some point? If so can we at least know what point we hit diminishing or no returns?

any explanation about why the same WR has his packet dropped/corrupted every sim? If it were an error in the database itself, sure, but if it is a transmission thing...?

No it won't, I was simply responding to the testing methods you said you've attempted

Can't comment on that since I don't know the architecture behind the game.

Why don't you upload the code in a .zip file to the web server and execute it locally instead of trying to force it over the internet?
When we do database rebuilds we put the DB on a firewire drive and hang it off a server.

You just described diminishing.

There are so many factors that go into a play that it can be hard to sort them all out in the end to say "this is what's going on here."
There are definitely ratios of skills that tend to work better than others, though, and a good player will not pump one skill and forgo all others. You need a certain amount of supporting skills to make your other skills work at top potential. That's generally pretty well known, though - you need enough agility to use your speed, etc.

Yes, a theory which was shot down by the creator of the game, and is based off of inaccurate replays and scripts holds SO much weight. Bort came out here and said that somethings is probably messing up the calculations...
I applaud your efforts to work on this, and there's no doubt that by exposing this flaw, you've done a lot of good for the game, and I'm certain the problem will be fixed, almost solely due to your investigative work.
I also understand that you're pissed that your one WR who is putting up extremely good numbers will, most likely, not perform as well. That's to be expected. But think of all of your players that may be buffed, or helped when this problem is sorted out. I know you're bitter because your WR is basically getting nerfed, but you have to look at it from more than one point of view here, and realize that one player's loss maybe a thousand players' gains.
Pro Tip: Telling someone who selflessly opened their dominate build up in order to help prove something is wrong that they are being bitter and selfish is ironic.

Kinda need a separate server to sim games. It tends to take up 100% cpu.

Does the diminishing get lower from 11-12-13, meaning every sa after 11 gets lower in succession, or after 10 is 11-20 all the same meaning it is diminishing, but does it not diminish even further from 11-12, as it did from 10-11

So... just to be clear:
It's possible that a WR like PT's was playing at 1 lb... and that's why he was running so fast.
Coincidentally, it's possible other WR's were playing at 10,000 lbs, and that's why were running so slow?

From the way I read it, it's a mistake at creation that never got fixed.
Could be wrong, though.

Gotcha, your SQL.exe must be in the gigs.
