Title: Warp Bug
Post by: Mobius13 on December 23, 2008, 01:24:35 PM
I recenty hit someone less than 1/3 my fp 6 times, that person had a 95% warp chance all those times (i checked)

although i consider myself lucky i wanted t report it so that this does not keep happening... the chances of that happening are very slim and i doubt it was just chance.

if anyone can look into this please do

Ok thank you. 5% can happen, it's 1 in 20, it's a nice chance...

Ahh but computers are not entirely random in generating numbers so yes that may be the pure statistical chance but its not the chance in reality.

I get a one in 64.000.000 = (((1/20)^6) / 1) = 0.000000000005 % as the chance but it does not really matter :12:

You either neb them before a few attacks and you've been unlucky. You got the very low chance probability of hitting some with 5% of your power multiple times. If I had to guees the Irrational number generated by the current time using Java's Pseudo random number generator made you get a success 6 times in a  row its a fluke. It it keeps on happening then there may be a issue with the code.

Everyone has something incredible improbable happen to them you got 6 attacks on a guy with a 5% warp chance others win the lottery. You got the short straw.
