Vertical market could be fun ROFL
I assume weāre having a communication problem here ā maybe weāre crossing a language barrier? ā so Iāll try to clarify what I said.
When youāre testing a hypothesis, youāre not working to confirm it, youāre testing it. The difference is that a proper experiment will have one of the following outcomes:
- proves your hypothesis
- disproves your hypothesis
- inconclusive
If your reaction to outcomes 2 and 3 is to say āhm, that didnāt confirm my hypothesis, letās see how I can change the experiment to confirm itā, then youāre not doing R&D, or science, or engineering. Instead, youāre simply trying to slap a veneer of credibility on your beliefs through pseudo-scientific mumbo-jumbo 
So when you say āmy goal was to prove that Teimos is still #5 on the listā, that rings all sorts of warning bells.
Again, that might have been simply your choice of words, rather than your methodology, but Iām not really getting that vibe so far.

You could save yourself a ton of time by downloading the devkit and looking at the tables yourself. You donāt need to do any testing when you have the original data in front of you that the whole system uses. That is if you donāt trust the spreadsheets that Xevyr has linked in the past, which most of us can attest are simply extrapolated from the datatables.

I think what @CodeMage was ānot-so-subtlyā trying to tell you thereā¦ is that you seem a bit desperate to put Teimos on a LISTā¦ and seeing as he keeps failing list after list, you seem to want to alter the criteria of said lists to be able to somehow squeeze him on thereā¦
Like I said earlier though, thereās like 200 other thralls between Teimos and a RHTS when it comes to their melee damage modifier and still ~30 even if I only look at the ones with a health / vitality value greater than 72 (RHTS)

Obviously but it was quite fun testing all these thralls. So no regrets
That maybe true indeed. I like playing the underdog. but have u seen teimos get to 96% dmg to strā¦ I have. And I put that on par with both Del and Zerks. definetly lower dmg output. I never said it was easy. hence my disclamer that itās not meant for 90% of the public.
Not necessarily. Contrary to what some people believe, the mods donāt close threads because theyāre capricious. They usually do so when the discussion devolves into toxicity, or when it reaches the end of its useful life.
That said, your belligerent posturing doesnāt give me much hope for useful discussion. And that hope is diminished even further by your attitude toward ādebateā as some kind of a contest you need to win.
You really shouldnāt leave your e-mail in a public post. If you really want to share it with someone, do so in a private message.
I already have a very nice job, thanks, one that involves quite a bit of non-trivial engineering and occasional R&D stint.
As for chemistry and physics, I respect those fields a lot ā and I also respect experts in those fields ā but theyāre not the sole custodians of scientific method and R&D.
And neither are they relevant in any way when weāre discussing a video game. That happens to be software engineering, and thatās been my wheelhouse for decades, so youāll forgive me if your credentials as a physicist/chemist/CEO donāt impress me enough.
That said, nobody in this discussion needs to āgo homeā if theyāre not an expert in a particular field. This isnāt a pŃssing contest about professional experience ā no matter how hard you spam these forums about your own ā but rather a discussion about hard data and your own subjective interpretation of that data that youāre trying to pass off as a scientific conclusion.
Okay, now that is funny. 
If youāre capable of a modicum of introspection, take a look at your communication style, your approach to discussion, and your penchant for ad hominems, and tell me which one of us sounds like heās fresh out of college.
At any rate, Iāve seen enough to conclude that this has nothing to do with a language barrier or a communication problem. I think Iāll just leave it at this and go spend some time on something more productive than this thread.

Yes I like know that Taem - but were would that lead when all u want is to play. These thralls I have tested were fun for me. I could always look up the stats for every thrall ahead of time. But were is the fun in that. I like this game and having fun during my testing
Yes of course 
And I also explained that the value you see on the UI means absolutely nothing in isolation.

Lolā¦ gatekeeping science? Really? Drop the pride and accept you were bias.

IF U can take me down would LOVE to see it. You run away from all challenges in this world. You have NO vision of the future. Do U think the scientific method is the first in line before the theory/goal. You have soo much more to experience . The Scientific Method is a guideline for R&D. But the first step is the idea; on which you and your developers cling upon.
I will not drop it erjoh. When someone challenges my direction in my company I WILL RESPOND. He claims to have knowledge on the scientific Method. Accuses me wrong as I approach it. I guarentee he has no business in the CS/Chem/phys world. If he truly wants to engage with me, I gave him an Opportunity to try even to educate me on my business. (Preface-have been drinking)
BUT to say that I do not follow the scientific method hurts. He CAN NOT understand what my company is doing.
And will never realize it.
Ergoh I dropped it in the beginning . I ate crow for my bias. I have asked for sooooo much forgivness then I deserve. BUT when someone calls out my Company-those aew fighting words.
I wonder - why canāt we get a percentages based on type of food we use to fuel the training wheel? If I want 14% in VIT (on top of thralls own basic %) right from the start and I am willing to spend my effort to produce enough grilled stakesā¦
Very like true. I talk with emotions. Thx for calling me out
So like late comment . As said I eat crow. There is no pride in that. I tested I found RHTS is goD. So what is this about pride? Without a doubt this community has shot me down. ITās OK I was wrong. Itās OK when I put up the title teimos was good. I did all this for me only. When I check out from work I try to just let it go. This is why I play the game. To release all pressure from my jobā¦ I am not trying to get under ones skin, But as U have read I have a diff mission from the scientific method. This game provides me a release from everything in my life. I hope I can contribute.
I already ate Crow. This is an affront calling me out for my vision in my company. IF U can ever prove my R&D is at fault. I will pay U 1 Mill. The board prob not want that but screw them. You could never understand the Tech Iām involved in. In return you can just goto hell. And God willing it will be just that.You have no precedence to even challenge me. (so yes drinking and talking) The new revolution in fabrication belongs to me. I like truly want u to reply. If you cant your afraid of me. I have given U an email address so frigggen use it.
