Necroing the shit out of this...
It still seems to me that the drop rate is unusually high with a certain amount of luck. And it only drops 1 bottle per wave. So I almost always get 1 bottle per wave.
Gimme a sandbox and I will make statistics for it ;)
@Kami I just checked Holgars code:
override public function calculateSpecialDrops(creep:Creep, droppedCards:Vector.<StashCard>):void
{
if (!_droppedStuffAtWaves[creep.wave.round])
{
if (isSpecialDrop(0.02, creep))
{
var potionStash:PotionStash = Mazebert.instance.player.potionStash;
droppedCards.push(potionStash.getStashCard(new MeadPotion()));
_droppedStuffAtWaves[creep.wave.round] = true;
}
}
}
private function isSpecialDrop(chance:Number, creep:Creep):Boolean
{
var diceThrow:Number = Math.random();
var dropChance:Number = chance * creep.dropChance * this.itemChance;
return diceThrow <= dropChance;
}
Well scaling with item Chance is a plausible explanation for the behavior.
In any case the skill description is misleading. Holgar is quite strong mid game because of this skill. IMHO there is no better tower until a high dmg carry is needed. Which leads to the feeling that he is op so a tweak would be needed. But this will make the whole game harder.
Right. 2% chance to do X implies the skill is based on luck. So in terms of usability the implementation needs to be adjusted. Also, the automatic caps of luck calculation will balance this skill a bit further. Ticket added!
