Merry Mayhem 2016

WhySoComplicated?

Its simple the more kills you have the more looting events, which then means you have more chances of looting good points. Rest is a lottery!
I kill 100 spiders in solo 5 in an hour. Other person may kill only 50. I have 50 more "tickets" than other person. Yes DPS helps but its till a lottery cuz the person shooting just 50 mobs may loot many glorious stars while i will get none.
There is nothing linear or exponentional or whatever else its simply the more you kill the more chances for good points.

Its not that complicated really if you understand statistics.

Everything in this game and almost everything irl follows some type of distribution. We all know that the system in this game isnt random and therefore it is possible to use statistics to make predictions.

Depending on how points are distributes in relation to dps we can make assessments on gear needed to reach certain goals. Its not that complicated really but its rather useful.

A prediction is not certain but atleast it enables you to know an approximate. Perhaps you and most others don't find this useful but I do, hence the question. Assuming you hunt the same mob, what is the relationship between points and dps. It is not random in the long run, try for yourself and you'll see.

The only real random thing i know of is radioactive decay as in when that particular atom will burst into pieces.
 
Time in Event

Hey people. Want to tell you about my bad experience. I went in solo 2 Kerberos. Rly bad return. Lost 50 $ in one day. Too bad considering i am lvl 16 evader and 33 laser sniper hit and the mobs are lvl 9.
Killing them with Marco 5 + imp ares 8% Hat 3% and pills for 14 % faster reload
Still loosing like i am in a casino
I realized that when i go out of the solo 2 instance and go to kill some other mobs not in the event and come back the event time was still running even when i was out of the event area and i continue the previous hunt event. Is that means that when you start 1 hour event you should wait the time to end?

And yea i really do not honor this event. So poor taught that my 50 $ depo will last me for at least till the end of the event considering i am hunting solo 2. Nope 50 $ in one day gone. This does not talks good to you MA considering the lower reward prices. I am done with this game for sure. 5 of my friends are done also. these 5 will tell another 5 and you can count when there will be no more players playing in this ridiculous casino.

The beginning was so exciting and full of fun. Killed thousands of punies, carabok and gallards, kerberos, argonauts, longus, combibos. I was proud of myself and it is my 6th month. And now what all the efforts were to go hunt a little bit bigger and to loose all the peds deposited considering the fact i am killing mobs waaay below my abilities.

Definitive i will not recommend this game to any of my friends any more, cuz i just realized how bad it smells.

Have a good one yall and take care!:smoke:
 
well everyone knows that event returns allways suck. i have no clue why people still do the major events like MM and such. if u dont have a 100k ped bankroll to blow and 250dps+ then ur chance of winning is zero as well as MA removed the categories. i stopped playing in them and if others would do the same we would maybe get a good event again and not this shit.

I am in the 'It's the number of mobs looted' that matters catagory. (DPS is irrelevent, as the only thing that matters is that you kill the mob, not how). The more mobs you loot the more chance you have of getting a biggie. (this is discounting loot waves, if you are able to time it to a loot wave then all good for you.)

Hey MA, I know crits happen, but its not much fun to die from a crit and have an almost dead mob run across the map and die in the turret. What is the logic of having a turret in an instance where the mobs do not spawn anywhere near revive? Its not necessary, please remove the turret or fix it so the mob does not agro from across the map. Referring to Solo 5 here.:rolleyes:

Hey made a tiny little shitty spreadsheet to calculate FFA point stacks easier, maybe someone else can put it to use.

You can either download it as XLS or import the document to your own google drive.

Basically the odds for the points are linear, so they add up to pretty much the same per type of points.....if having 5k 1pointers then you should have around the same 1k 5 pointers and 500 10 pointers.

Oh no, it's just to calculate the total FFA points easier. Nothing to do with probability, loot rate or anything like that. Took me about 90 seconds to make I just figured maybe someone else could use it instead of a calculator.

Cheers.

You should have a read: https://www.planetcalypsoforum.com/forums/showthread.php?287791-Risk-of-Ruin-Bankroll-Management

With the downs, comes the ups.

Variance increases with highly populated areas/events.
 
Well, I did MM for the first time ever. It started out good with the first 6 hours, but then my loot took a turn for the worst, next 6 hours not a single swirl.

Oh well at least I got 53912 points for 12 hours shooting. :wtg:









Neh just joking about the points, so you can breathe again.
Just got over 900, hehehe.
:tongue2:

Merry Mayhem Finished!
Another event in the books, sadly iam not in the running for top contender but iam hoping my score will reach a prize.
Events stats break down like this
Broke 8 hootfoot 50 and 1 hootfoot 45 = 121119 PED spent
DMG enh 488 ped TT = 2342 PED
Armor 944 PED
AMP Markup 1040 PED
Total spend 125445 PED
Returns
105345 PED in ammo/converted shapnel
1000 PED Bonus
122 PED leftover TT on amps
19397 PED TT Items
125864 Total TT return
Giving me a 100.3 % TT return and yeilding a profit on 419 PED.
Notable loots was a Adj hedoc i recon is worth 2100 PED and remaning MU on the looted items is 1900 PED.
So iam in the running for a nice prize with a 4400 PED profit all n all.

Annoying as hell when losing PEDs too fast.
Imo you used a weapon that was way off from whats needed to be efficient on Kerb S2.
Now, everyone seem to have their own theory and their own way to figure whats best,
so now I wonder two things:
Why did you use that weapon, and how did you calculate it was right one for that mob?
Imo you should have used a weapon doing +100 when having that reload.

Getting too big for your level is a good way to lose a lot of peds (defense cost).

Under power is just as bad as over power...
Its about using right equipment with right values that fit the targets value. If not, you'll lose big.
This event is about creating best values for looting, not best value to get most kills.

EDIT: When I mention damage, its the maxdamage, not effective damage.
 
Thanks for sharing vodka, shows that its not all catastrophy after all right? Even going all out full dps you managed to pull out tt profit. Obviously wont work for everyone each event, but if you would go more eco instead of dps you would be looking at even brighter numbers. Events are all lottery if you are going for prizes, but since calypso events can drop some good UL loots while you are competing or just skilling its a time well spent.

My loot wasnt as great, but i am happy with the result.
Here is a little break down.
Total spent - 133400
Total tt back - 126600
Markup - 3600 ( i havnt sold anything yet, but this is what i am expecting)
So a total loss of around 3200 ped
No big loots worth mentioning
No interesting items for me
No glorious for me either
Gained tons of skills, which would definitely cover my loss, but lets hope i have a shot for some prize :)

#ThankYouMA

For not stacking stars in my inventory as I loot them. I love it when I get too heavy to move because my item count is too high so I have to open inventory, r-click and select Merg All Stacks, only to have to click OK yet again on another pop up message. Awesome. Thanks.
 
When the event started, loot overall was nothing to brag about, but certainly worth complaining about either.
I guess the Grinch came around or something, because after being away for a couple days, loot has been insanely awful. Nothing works. An hour of solo 3 spiders without any globals, and an hour of solo 4 kerbs with only 1 measly 72 ped global, are just two examples of what I'm experiencing.

As a public protest, I'd like others to join me in a mass suicide from the tower in Port Atlantis, and cause a big pile of colonist corpses at the base of the tower.

HAHhahahahhaha Im coming :D
 
i am sooo glad i dont partake...
 
Practice jump:

So how many bodies will it take to literally fill the TP?
 
I'm finding the distribution of stars odd - level 2 - maybe 100+ an hour; level 3 around the same; level 4 kerbs double but I can't take down enough in an hour.

If it is all about number of tickets as suggested before then I should see the same stars level 2 and 4 because level 2 I take down probably 3 times as many mobs as level 4. The weighting is very clearly top ended.

It would have been so easy for MA to have made level 5 an exclusive class.
 
Parachute with auto-deployment?

Off-topic- sorry...
Would be great if our avatars could 'wear' a parachute for moments like these, or night drops into pvp ;)
Auto-deploying parachute, of course. OK back on topic. I'm guessing about 55 avatars to fillup the TP
:lolup:
