Turn rate math

[Shadow I]

Stored turns trickle into your account once for every 3 regular turns. Which means that in the time it takes to fill from 0-500 turns, only 125 of your stored turns are used. Is this intentional? Seems a bit of a waste.

O_o ...No. You get one stored turn every 15 minutes. So you get 4 turns really. There is no skipping or alternating pattern like you think.

Starting from full stored turns, you get 4 turns every 15 minutes. Which means 125 iterations. Out of each 4 turns, one is from the stored turns, so only 125 stored turns are used between 0 and 500 regular turns.

That does seem like a waste, im pretty sure in every other promi i have played if you got 5 turns every 15mins then if you had stored turns you would instead get 10 turns every 15mins. Only a thought.

They do have a point. There's little point to having stored turns that never fill out. I'd guess you probably could use them all if you ran each time as soon as you had full turns, but very few, if any, have the ability to do that.

[Freenhult]

Lol? I constantly never have stored turns.

[Shadow I]

Well if you run every time you hit 125 stored turns, you're fine. But what's the point of the extra 125? I think the turn rate or storage capacity needs to be juggled a little bit.

On a lot of proms, stored turns come out at the same rate that you get normal turns. I think that would solve the problem - 6 turns every 15 mins as long as you have stored.

Yes, I've tried to change this before, with little success.

[Shadow I]

Change is needed! By the way, Freen, what did you mean by a skipping or alternating pattern? I think you misunderstood my first post about it.

First of all. WoA is -supposed- to be 450. Thats part of the problem.

Also, I read your thing wrong.

[Ruddertail]

Actually, making it 450 would make the problem worse...

Making it 450 won't help at all. The only solution is to double the rate at which stored turns trickle out, or make the stored turn box smaller.

I -never- have stored turns then.

[Shadow I]

That's just a quirk of your playing style. Math says 450 is worse than 500 for most people, and I don't see the point of your argument. 125 of the 250 stored turns are redundant. That is a fact.

[Freenhult]

Uh. 125 is half of your stored turns. Unless you're failing here, you're running withing maybe 4-5 hours of having max turns on average. So 3 * 4 * 4 = 48 turns extra. So you should have around 173ish for stored turns next run, whenever that is.

This is why I run out, within 4 runs, I'm on empty, and I wait a bit to let them refill.

Anyway, its always possible to get rid of your stored turns. Especially on BFR.
