Next update news!!

Looks like a direct pull from Starcraft.

Didn't have that in Starcraft I. Never played Starcraft II. Just googled it and I agree with you. Aside from the trophy range vs gaussian distribution scheme, it's basically a rip off (even the tier names are almost identical).

I just hope that there will not be a penalty to our loots now..

say after th multiplier, our loot is 100k, then we SHOULD be getting 100k..

if we have higher trophy, then we SHOULD be getting a loot bonus base on the multiplier..

lets hope its not the case where only people at "master" trophy region will NOT get the penalty :eek:

Yeah, if they take current values as a future "top notch" value and anyone below would get less loot.... that could have terrible consequences on this game.

Fascinating read, great find, OP.

Question to all the tech-savvy crowd who seem to analyze these data files often... have any of you ever seen an expected development in the code, before it was released in the past?

So, did you all see the Heroes coded before it was released? Or, the valks before they were released? How typical (or atypical) is it to see a potential future development or tweak in the code like this?

I don't see those multipliers working as penalties. They're too punitive that way although it's possible I'm underestimating SC.

I know the figures seem harsh but had someone told me about the 50% multiplier before the TH loot penalty went live, I too would have found it crazy. They might be just beta figures for all we know but still...

Just realized the "Unranked" tier lists 0, 0, 0. As do figures for DE. So the "trophy penalty multiplier" theory seems off. My bad.

If figures are bonus rates then they could be related to collector/mine output or loot, as mentioned.

By being able to establish different trophy-based percentages for each currency on top of the TH loot penalty, SC is quickly becoming the ECB or Federal Reserve.

Let's just hope they are a little more like the Federal Reserve and less like the ECB.

I wasn't there for the heros update but the DE troops were not in the files prior to release. Trust me I was search A LOT.

This might have been scheduled for this update then push back for a later date.

Look at the Promote and Demote ranges. They overlap. Thats pretty interesting IMO.
