Rank formula discovered

maximum respect to the OP.

Good ol' Maple. I've used it a few times to help with Numerical Methods, so it's nice to see that there are people out there who are willing to actually figure this stuff out.

I would, but I like writing programs more.

Nice job.

Euler>Maple

in the list where it says 10000...
What does the 10000 stand for?
Buttons, winebottles?

Sorry if this sounds stupid

This isn't rocket science. Just look at the numbers and you'll see that (except for the lower ranks 1-4) the required fame is multiplied by 5/3 for every rank (rounded, more or less).

Fame{n} = Fame{n-1} * (5/3)

This means for rank n you have to multiply with (5/3)^n:

Fame{n} = Fame{0} * (5/3)^n

or, with an offset n0:

Fame{n} = Fame{n0} * (5/3)^(n-n0)

for example, with n0 = 14:

Fame{n} = Fame{14} * (5/3)^(n-14) = 60000 * (5/3)^(n-14)

Cantor >> Euler >> Maple

nice job on the numbercrunching.
thumbs up

Wow, nice work

I wonder why they made such a weird formula for ranks...

they juz took a random set of number put in some other things and accidently u got 100000 fame for rank 15, i bet they are laughing their asses off seeing someone actually calculated wich formula they used.

for me this IS rocket science :P,
GJ

It isn't that weird. For rank4 and up simply multiply the next lower rank by 5/3.

Highly doubtful, they most likely said rank 15 should be 100k, and worked backwards from there.

Just saw a rank 15, use their emote a few minutes ago, didn't get a picture but it was a turtle, I asked them to do it again and they refused =(

Windows Calculator > Cantor > Euler > Maple

im lost...

but nice work anyway

Added to wiki if you dont mind

@Fender: Makes complete sense that they made the r15 value first and worked backwards to r0. That's what they seem to do with skills - a good number of skills have a value that's an even multiple of 5 for attribute level 15. Then there's the ones that are, say, 1..3..3, or Shadow Strike, which is some weird thing at r15. I have no idea how they got that. >.> How much rebalancing did Shadow Strike/Lifebane Strike get? Seems to me like they could only get whatever it was by trial and error.

HOLY THREADCROMANCY BATMAN!

Why even bump this... did you read how old it is?

Hi, before posting, try reading the date of the last post in the thread.

Another bumped thread...

Oh noes another thread res.

I knew this thread was dead as soon as I saw Franco Power. I haven't seen him post in ages.
