Hi Everyone,

It was brought to our attention that the calculation on Epic tier up was coming out incorrectly. When investigating this we discovered the formula we have been using for the enchantment bonus was causing the bonuses to be rounded down a full enchant level, or rounded up a full enchant level. We have made the correction to the formula, but the results will show on many of your pieces of equipment. Roughly half your items will now have a slightly larger enchant bonus, and roughly half will have a slightly lower bonus. This change will also fix the Epic Tier up bonuses.


Enchant Bonus Calculation Change Details:

Idea is 5% bonus per enchant level. With the new changes it will be much closer to 5% per level.


Was:
level * max(1.0, round(amount * 0.05));

Will now be:
round(Level * max(1.0, amount * 0.05));

Example of it going down:
37 Speed, Enchanted to +30

Was:
30 * Round(37 * 0.05)
30 * Round(1.85)
30 * 2
------
60

Now:
round(30 * (37 * 0.05));
round(30 * 1.85);
round(55.5);
------
56

Example of it going Up:
149 Armor, Enchanted to +30

Was:
30 * Round(149 * 0.05)
30 * Round(7.45)
30 * 7
------
210

Now:
round(30 * (149 * 0.05));
round(30 * 7.45);
round(223.5);
------
224

How does it work for items with +1 per enchant? - do some enchantment levels give +0 increase? - or what rounding is going on there? - because on my +15 ring, I still have +30, when based on these calculations, it should be +23?

I just noticed, when putting an epic item in the reforge system, it shows the perfect stats not being perfect any more...

e.g.
24 speed shows 24/28
144 AP shows 144/172
56 Endurance shows 56/67

Comparing to Annie's Tier 2 item, these appear to be the stats of a Tier 2, but on a Tier 1 item?

Hi Andaho,

Max takes the max of two numbers. The 1.0 in the max function makes sure you get at minimum 1 per level.

Ah, thanks, yeah, that's good... but how about the reforging in my follow-up post? - is that a bug? - a bug that can be abused to get higher re-rolls?

Hi Andaho,

Yes it looks like there is currently an off by one issue there. It is showing for the next tier up... We will get a fix in for that early tomorrow.

WARNING TO OTHER PLAYERS:

*************************

Do not attempt to try and re-roll your equipment to the temporarily displayed perfect 'Stat Roll'...

I tried with 42 epic crystals (14 times, locking no stats), and not once did any stat roll above the 'correct' perfect stat. - So it seems that it is only a visual error.

So there are two things I'd like to sort out:
1. Do I understand correctly that if I tier up the equipment, it gets a permanent boost of stats +20 % and even if I refine it, I still woudl get 20% more on the new stats (primary + secondary), right?

2. Say I get lvl 45 (when it comes out). I'll be able to buy HoT boots lvl 45 for 100 HoT tokens. The other possibility is to upgrade my previous boots - I hope buying Epic upgrade kits in total won't cost 300;400;500 HoT tokens?

Hi FuriousS,

1. Right.

2. The cost of the Hall of Trials will go up at 45 to balance with the increase of tokens you will be able to get each day with the newly available hall of trails levels.

Hello David,

Thank you for the quick response!

So the amount of HoT tokens to buy lvl 45 gear and to upgrade old one will be reasonably balanced?
