Honor System Decay Equation

We had this discussion already, R14 is 6 weeks in SOM too… With 2X RP and 40% decay.

But there are an infinite amount of solutions for setting N / 2 given the RP earned and decay… so no those aren’t the only “two” solutions

But there are only 2 logical solutions…

All solutions are “logical” that fall under the 24,000 decay mark.

Not if you live in the real world.

It would make no difference setting decay to X, and RP earned to Y to halve N as long as it’s achievable within 6 weeks.

Except they have already chosen and the values are 2X RP and 40% decay. Keep fighting it if you want…

proof, you seem to believe it to be true. Based on what?

Logic and years of experience. Did they teach deductive reasoning at all to you when you got those 3 degrees?

“logic and years of experience” would only tell you that ranking got faster.

But yeah, nice source!

I listed the only 2 solutions that would be considered by a sane person. I showed you why one of them is not the answer.

You are just to stubborn to accept reality, and that you were wrong.

N = log( (60000 - (1/d)(R))/(0-(1/d)(R)) ) / log (1-d)

Solve for D, and R such that 5 < N <= 6, and both logarithms are defined under R

That’s all I have to say.

Don’t worry you will get over being wrong. Everyone makes mistakes.

None of this math matters. Som had at best a 4 month life. The faster rank is fun and all but I and many other will quit at bwl/aq gates. Game is too easy

this makes me want to quit tbh

i was looking forward to ganking but can’t do it

Well I mean they could have released classicn2019 unchanged but they had to listen to the retailers and SJWs so here we are. I’ll get my r14 for a a couple months and go to pserver. I’ve only been saying this since before release

No?

Oh, thank God.

Thank you, this makes sense.

F = CR(0.6) + (0.4)Tw*5

Reading this post I feel like this is pretty much the exact same convo Lizzard had 2 hours before launching SoM.

It’s simple really.

50% decay,

60000/(((1/0.5) - (1/0.5)((1-0.5)^5.01)) = (w)
= 30960

Which means you’ll need to give 30960 / 13000 => 2.38 times more RP…

there’s just infinitely more solutions.

So at 50% decay, and 2.38x the RP you will get R14 in ~ 6 weeks.

With a 50%, and even 40% decay the price becomes harder, and so does the competition.

At 40% you can’t get rank 14 if you’re earning exactly 24,000 RP per week (12,000 RP in bracket 13)

You have to push.

At 40% decay and double RP assuming you earn 24,001 RP it will take you 15 weeks to get R14 from 0.

But practically you’ll be getting around 12,500 (25000) RP per week in bracket 13, which will take ~7 weeks

Everyone below bracket 13 will not be able to get rank 14 unless they push.

40% makes no sense for the player base, 10% does.
