Why is it still possible that I lose to someone, while before I regularly attacked him and always won easily. And now suddenly a big loss, while the circumstances have not changed. My stats are also much better than his, and not much has changed in that either. I find this very frustrating, because I have now lost quite a bit of gold this way. On another server I have also lost a lot of gold because of this. If someone is about the same strength, then it is understandable that I can lose, but now it is totally unexpected, and above all very illogical...

Hello,

The combat script has been running for years. It was programmed with a certain degree of randomness (randomness, so rather a very small amount). In short, the greater the difference in skill between you and your opponent, the lower this percentage of randomness becomes. Over the years, this has been further reduced.

Skills are even more decisive, but unfortunately, a loss like yours can still occur even if you have much higher skill levels.

@Nimoe,

No, the mini balancing update is currently only in effect on the game world int7.

And the update doesn't affect the battlefield, as that has its own separate script.

Yes, I noticed. Only solution: when you are full of gold for cover attack the very low level ones otherwise they make you lose and lose a lot of gold. I speak from personal experience

It might just be sematics, but the randomness is not a "small amount" it is every single swing of the sword is driven by an RNG factor.

if FA/PA are close then it is literally 50:50 whether it lands or not - and crits are a literal lottery.

But the FA/PA gap is based on a % difference - and so with very high FA/PA scores you have to get a huge literal value more to start to have confidence.

In my experience RNG is pretty much entirely negated wth a 50% advantage and just about negated with a 20% advantage.

With FA/PA at a nice round 100, that's only 120-150 to make it mostly predictable, but when the numbers get bigger EG 450 PA that means you need FA in the 540-> 650 range to start to get some confidence.

It's a real pity that these sorts of things were never adjusted as the game matured - hopefully when the new battlesystem is released it will be a thing of the past and we can look back and laugh!
