I Can't Sleep I'm This Close To Taking Out My Repression On My Partner(s) Someone Please Help Me God

Ok so Soul Points are cool and all and everyone wants them gone right



You see those five percentages? Cool stuff very cool (Wish new people knew to hover over the item but whatever that's not the point of this post)

Anyways that's cool and all

So I decided to view all 15 states of soul point depletion and record my findings on the 5 percentages



Very cool

Very cool stuff

Very consistent, constant +10%s and +4%s very nice
10%,20%,30% and the 60%,64%,68% and so on very cool very clean



Since all the percentages have a fixed increase someone recreating the soul point system would be able to just mathematically generate the numbers rather than manually type all fifteen variants which is very nice



Now

That being said



Someone do me a favor

find whoever is responsible for setting the numbers

open their door

drag them all the way here

and tell me







What in the goddamn holy ungodly mother-Azathothian HELL



IS THE MEANING OF THIS

Hi, Purple Emerald. Thank you for your post! We here at Wynncraft know how much mathematical sequences please our players. To this end, these soul point steps actually do follow a defined sequence. This very simple sequence is:

where x is how many soul points the player has, and f(x) is the drop chance.

Python proof:
>>> y = lambda x: (3324564480 // (2**(x*6))) % 32
>>> [y(i) for i in range(1, 15)]
[16, 13, 10, 6, 3, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]

Hope this helped!

Please feel free to reach out for further information!

Ummmm I think you forgot to carry the 2

 

That doesn't look very simple

 

I actually can't tell if this is satire or not
I'm sure the formula is sound but I legit don't believe that soul points are this complexly calculated

 

Do you really think they'd use bitwise and? Even if it were rewritten as modulo 32, that'd be pretty silly, wouldn't it?

 

You sound like MumboJumbo
"See this [extremely complicated thing]? It's really quite simple"

 

hello nice post

 

this image made by salted sums up the entire thing:

 

it's clearly max(0, floor(10/3 (6-x)))%

also did you check the 0 soul point state or does it not exist

 

I just had a mildly humorous thought reading this

Has anyone just tried... asking the guy?

I mean like, think about it
How do we know all this mystery regarding class builder stuff isn't Salted purposely "concealing his inner workings" and simply just random Wynncraft class builders assuming that the devs won't explain the numbers in detail should they talk to them because they're like "not allowed to" or smth

It would actually be really funny if Salted just straight up explained it in detail the very moment someone tries



I'm sure he'll be more than happy to elaborate if we just ask nicely (/j(probably(i'll take my chances)))

There isn't one

 

I don't think it's that easy to get in a conversation with salted
You can't dm him on discord and if you DM him on the forums he will have too many messages to reply to them all - I've tried

 

Reading this now I'm actually afraid that my original post came off as genuine

My OCD makes me mad at the random inexplicable break in the pattern but it's less of a "ffs the devs need to fix this ASAP" and more like "omigerd literally unplayable (/s)", I expect that nobody's going to bother to touch a feature that's already one foot into Death's Realm anyway

Speaking of which I kinda already figured that the numbers were probably hardcoded, otherwise this wouldn't have happened in the first place
I gotta be honest I'm not sure why someone would make a formula for a completely in-expandable system, at that point it's not even the funny "programmers spend ten times longer to automate a small task" joke it's just an actual waste of time even in the long run

 

hmm when did they remove the 0 soul point state

anyways i think 0 3 6 10 is perfectly reasonable, happens when people want to divide 10 into 3
