Hellfire Launcher Damage not so bad actually? did some math

[Szalord]

@Bratok

It is about the theory that the Hellfire Launcher is worse than a normal rifle.

Yes, and the Hellfire IS worse than a regular rifle. I’ve brought a lot of evidence to this.

@Bratok

I can’t show a video, since i don’t have a setup for it nor do i have any account for hosting said video.

So you’re saying you’re unable to create a Youtube account? And you’re unable to download and use any video recording tool, such as OBS or whatever the hell you like ? BS.

@Bratok

It happens way often in real combat though. I can hear it, i see it. It was the first thing i regonized since i got my Hellfire Launcher back than.

Ok dude. I just let you meditate on this:

N-ray

@Bratok

You said grenade generation is not RNG, which is not true. I heard of said grenade points creation, but there still RNG whenever will load a grenade though.

To quote the patchnotes:

Mechanic: Grenades

• Loading Grenades now uses a Procs-Per-Minute system that scales with the amount of Assault Rifle Energy spent casting Power abilities. To put it another way: Spending more Energy on Grenade-generating Power abilities will generate more Grenades.
• The number of Grenades generated per minute on average with base energy generation is 6.

The more energy you invest the more grenades you will get (probably part of that grenade points you gather). And it says the AVERAGE grenades are around 6 with BASE energy generation. That doesn’t mean it is fixed.

Me & Theck (mostly Theck) spent a lot of time during the closed & open betas, directly in touch with Nirvelle, who was basically in charge of developping this new grenade mechanic. You’re not gonna quote patch notes and try to teach us anything about that, it’s not gonna go well for you.

Grenade Mechanics Modeling (aka "How Grenades Work")

The rebalance patch overhauled the way that Assault Rifle grenade mechanics work, and for most players the new mechanics are a bit of a mystery. The goal of this thread is to put forth a model of those mechanics so players have a better understanding of the system and can make informed decisions. Everything in this thread is based on data I collected during the patch’s beta period, along with some discussions with the developers. I meant to post this all last fall, but then got swamped at work …

To quote the “RNG” part: while there IS a random part in the algorithm itself, it only serves to actually make the grenade generation as reliably spread out and consistent as possible, and the end result is as steady as it gets.

@Bratok

So what can i say to your video, unlucky, sadly. But it does happen, i have seen that so many times and it is not rare at all.

I’m not gonna make a 30 minute video doing the same stuff, i have better things to do. I’m just rather gonna say you’re full of lies.

Now, since you’ve managed to post screenshots, can you present and explain the results? And can you provide ACT parses that correlate these results (while giving log files to use at the same time so we can check them ourselves, just in case you decided to doctor them).
