FYI: Avatar Regeneration

[NightwolfAA2k5]

I hope our regen rate hasn't been tampered with... IMO, If its going to be tampered with, than it should be like the revamped mob regen, rather than reduced...

I remember some discussion of this, but I also heard some very odd numbers being thrown around. Is it possible the change was back then, and the odd numbers were coming out as a result of the individuals who were testing were looking for a percentage of their own given health (when infact it was just fixed regardless of health)?

Anyway yeah, JC makes a valid point there I guess about fapping up between mobs. But really I can't get myself worked up over this one, its too small an impact to worry about imo, not much difference from the armor/clothes equip decay...

And also, yeah it'd be interesting to hear from people how long they take to fully regenerate. I'll time myself tomorrow. I guess we count from revive until full HP bar (hard to tell for sure if that is full health or not? Can you take a 1 HP hit and still have the bar looking full? I think so?).

Thanks stoikow, so about 7 HP per 20 sec. A few more figures from people and this will be solved by the time I wake up tomorrow morning

Here's me @ 133 health. Looks about 9 minutes.

I counted about 20 ticks as my health jumped its way back up.

Sorry for making the pic too wide.

Cheers so:

243 - 690 sec
156.4 - 575 sec (me)
133 - 533 sec

So its not fixed (higher HP regenerates faster in terms of HP/sec). But its not the same percentage of health per avatar either (higher HP takes longer to fully regenerate).

One thing to note with the numbers is that when you appear to be full HP you're not necessarily quite there. I was able to fap successfully even when my bar looked full at 575 sec.

OK my first guess is formula for regeneration is:

HP/sec = 0.1+0.001*HP

It slightly overestimates the time for all to regenerate, but that is probably accounted for by the fact health bar looks full before it is (and screen is white for a few seconds when we revive so hard to say exactly when we start).

<I might be suffering from late-night nice-round-numbers-syndrome here though...in retrospect I kinda think the error is too large but we need more data>

It *is* possible is is a bug that they missed and was not intentional.

Submit a support case or make an inquiry THEN see what they say.

If it was a mistake, they will fix it.

If it was intentional, they are in BIG trouble!

If they upped critter regen rates and nerfed ours without saying, that is like splitting the check when they had steak and I had a side salad...

[Matrix]

Hmm, maybe this means MA will activate the stamina attribute soon. I hope so.

Touché!
But i still don't think i jumped the gun, or can anybody remember something MA nerfed to our advantage?

With the old system, 5% every 15 seconds, it took 5 minutes to regain full health (and yes, i took a stopwatch back then and checked it).
Some results were a bit different, but it wasn't much longer than 5 minutes, no matter what health level...

And from the first data posted here, it takes rougly twice as long...

[NevadaJake]

Oh god. I hope this didn't really get nerfed

[Polynices]

agree w/Frigid... ^^

gee, thx MA

preparing avatars for stamina implementation?

let me guess, when we reach level 200 Stamina, we will regen 5% every 20seconds...
