Topic: [AHM] Annoying hungurian math - example accelerated target locking
Srsly eighter use normal math or RENAME freaking extensions so they would tell the truth!!!!!
Accelerated target locking:
"Each level of this extension reduces the target locking time by an additional 5%."
Well for regular player it means: #locking time# = #base locking time#*(1-*#level#*#bonus#)
With my current extensions it's : 12,5*(1-10*0,05) = 12,5*0,5 = 6,25 sec
Ok, but maybe I'm dumb and I don't understand english language.
"Additional" == extra, additive (http://www.synonym.com/synonyms/additional/)
but hey you can't trust ze internetz, so lets try geometric series. Why geometric?
Maybe because it's like base (a0) is 12,5 sec and each time you level up the extension this base is multiplied by 0,95 (1 - 0,05), so:
a0 = 12,5
q = 0,05
n-th part of geometric series will be a_n = a0 * q^n in our case it'll be:
#locking time# = #base locking time#*(1 - #extension bonus#)^#level#
when n = 10 (which is maxed level of accelerated target locking)
n10 = 12,5*(0,05^10) = 7,48421174 sec
Cool, but it still isn't 8,33 sec which I currently see in my mesmer's specs!!!!
WHAT THE ***!?
Seriously make those descriptions understandable for *** like me, because I clearly must be mentally disabled since I can't count and read properly, even with a help of various dictionaries.
