Once your staff says 100%, you won't miss. You will just be evaded, and resisted, and probably troll parried to make you go WTF

Nah, if you have 100% accuracy, you won't get evaded, resisted or parried. Two patches ago. Then the first part of monster upgrades came and suddenly 100% doesn't actually mean 100% anymore.

Funny thing, I bought a legendary focus staff a few days ago to test this very thing, and right before I finished leveling it I found this staff. Good thing I decided not to use my mats on it before it was leveled. Now I'm left with a useless test pieces that I don't know what to do with.

Here's the interesting bit that I kept asking here and there for a while now: Did monsters (except the dragons in D&D) could actually E/P/R our attack/spell 2 patches ago, or did we all just being delusional about it? ... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)


PS. It would be funny if anyone attempt to answering this by citing Tenb words... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) ... AFAIK all of his info regarding this were extremely vague and almost impossible to interpret precisely.

You sure about that? Considering the time it took you find this staff... On the bright side, at least you can easily hit 100% accuracy now ^^

It was supposed to end here and that latter statement after "at least" was supposed to be the joke. Not a LOLOLOLOL joke but was meant to make readers smile - not go "wut?" (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Well... accuracy doesn't really matter at all now... lol... Just resell the staff.

And I think theorycrafting is alright. As long as you're doing it right.

Yay, I think I hit the jackpot (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Legendary Ethereal Katalox Staff of Heaven-sent

Shame about the prefix though, would've been perfect as a hallowed staff, or even a demonic staff (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif). As is, it gives me a measly 5% evade.

if that pic is real then Tenboro lied to us about accuracy

He didn't lie. That was before the forge was implemented.

Also, I'm not the first person to have 100% accuracy, I just got it today. The reason why I know you couldn't miss with 100% accuracy prior to 0.6.8 was because a reliable source told me.

Edit:
Anyone wanna sell me 2 H-G Wood? Need it to test something and just ran out of wood.

Tenb didn't lie, but I don't think the automatic (forced) leveling thing isn't in his mind when he said that. How much time do a player need to reach lv.400+ without that daily 10% EXP bonus?

Sent you 2. You can buy or just give them back whenever your monsters brought you some.

I couldn't wait and already paid a ridiculous price for them earlier. But sure I'll take yours as well.

You should not pay ore then 50k each for them.

now that we have confirmed 100% accuracy watch tenboro "fix" it in the next patch

Nothing to fix

Rounding error

CODE

Magic Accuracy = 1 - (1 - base) * (1 - equip_bonus) * (1 - aura_bonus)
* (1 - prof_bonus) * (1 - WIS * 0.1%) * (1 - INT * 0.04%)

If you have a staff have more than 100% accuracy, you will never miss or this formula is wrong. By the way there is no need to nerf it because of resist/parry/evade and i am sure the countermeasures will never get you to bypass them at 100%

So it's not a rounding error, just an error, yet it shouldn't be fixed. I'm sure that will go over well with Tenboro. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Anyway, this looks like a 10 second fix, so I'm sure it will be gone pretty soon.

Not like it'd do anything now considering the practical accuracy of players is well around 70%.

Could be a perfect time to employ linear diminishing returns though! Yep yep.

Since it's pretty apparent people don't like to read, guess I'll reiterate a few points.

1) There is no rounding error, it is what it says, 100% accuracy. Now whether that means 100% chance to land hits is a different story.

2) Fix? Why fix it in a future patch when it was already "fixed" in 0.6.8?


Interestingly, after some testing, there's no noticeable difference between 95%, 99%, or even 100% accuracy. The usuals still resist/evade like a slut. Since accuracy means jack shit, the only thing focus is good for is its mana conservation. Then again I do get 100-200 rounds further in using it than with my destruction staff so I'm kinda conflicted as to what to feel here. :3

tee hee

Though to be fair, that particular piece of code was written on Friday.

You should explain to this guy about your findings. That would be very interesting.
(Go thorough his arguments about how good magical accuracy is) (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

And at your level, focus staff may work better; you deal so much damage that it longer matters (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
