NPC Attack Rates Explained

Torven · #1 09-07-2014, 01:56 AM

In this post, I will detail everything I know about NPC rates of attack and offer a few recommendations as to how EQ Emulator can be made to be a more accurate recreation of EQLive.

Attack Rate Defined

Attack rate can be represented in two ways: the time delay between attacks (attack delay) and attacks per unit time (attack speed). It is important to understand the difference when dealing with the code or an NPC database, because the two are sort of inverse to each other-- when one gets larger the other gets smaller and vice versa.

Example: An NPC with an attack delay of 2 seconds would have an attack speed of 0.5 attacks per second.

Be mindful which term I use when discussing an issue in this post. EQ Emulator's code actually uses 'attack_speed' as the variable name for a mob's attack delay, which should probably be renamed for clarity.

The Default NPC Attack Rate

There isn't one. There is no common rate of attack that the vast majority of NPCs have.

As evidence I have this spreadsheet that I made myself using data I collected entirely myself using a parser I wrote myself:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...gid=1227743551

That is a google sheets copy of my NPC spreadsheet which is where I put all my NPC data I gather for TAKP. The actual logs I used to parse the majority of NPCs on that list (almost all of the non-raid boss NPCs) as well as the parser script I wrote can be found on my google drive here:

https://drive.google.com/folderview?...p=sharing#grid

There are however some patterns:

The slowest attack rate is 3 seconds, and every NPC below level 25 has this attack rate. The vast majority of NPCs in classic (pre-Kunark) have this attack rate.
Starting in Kunark, common NPCs start getting faster attack rates around level 25. They progressively get faster as level increases.
Named NPCs have faster attack rates.
Raid bosses have very fast attack rates.
Most PoP mobs seem to have an attack delay of 2 seconds.

EQ Emulator's input variable for attack rate is a percentile modifier to a default attack delay of 3.6 seconds (3600 milliseconds). So if somebody wanted to make an NPC attack faster, they would input something like -50% to get an attack delay of 1.8 seconds.

That is certainly usable, however it is unintuitive and very cumbersome as it requires a calculator to figure out what input EQ Emulator requires to produce the desired attack delay for an NPC. My first recommendation would be to replace this input with an absolute attack delay value in the tens of seconds. I.e. '18' for an attack delay of 1.8 seconds. This appears to be the unit SOE uses because every NPC I was ever able to parse to a high degree of accuracy had an attack delay rounded to the nearest tens of seconds. Also, weapon delays in the item stats box uses the tens of seconds unit. An NPC with a value of 0 could be made to default to 30 (3 seconds).

One more thing before getting into spell effects: The weapon an NPC uses will sometimes change its attack delay. An NPC will have the lower of the two attack delays from either the weapon it wields or its set weaponless rate. I have not checked to see if EQ Emulator handles this as it's sort of a minor issue.

Attack Rate Modifying Spell Effects

Slow spells on EQ Emulator are bugged, very bugged. The formula used in the code is wrong.

Allakhazam's Lucy lists the spell Turgur's Insects as having this effect:

Decrease Attack Speed by 66% (L51) to 75% (L60)

Recall earlier when I made the distinction between attack speed and attack delay. Attack rate modifying spells adjust the speed not the delay. What the EQ Emulator code is doing right now is multiplying the attack delay by 1.75 in the case of a level 60 Turgur's, when it should be multiplying it by 4. How do I get 4? 75% less of something is 1/4th, which means 4 times the attack delay.

But don't just take my word for it:

10-10-11-10-10-10-11-10-10-11-10-10-11

That is the output of my parser. The numbers inside ()s are the number of attacks per round, and the numbers outside ()s are the seconds between rounds. The numbers between dashes are the seconds between bashes/kicks.

This is also very easily verified by using a stopwatch or looking at logs. Yes, an unmitigated Turgur's Insectsed NPC will bash/kick every 32 seconds instead of 8.

The solution is simple: in mob.cpp, change

Code:

	if(GetHaste() > 0)
		PermaHaste = 1 / (1 + (float)GetHaste()/100);
	else if(GetHaste() < 0)
		PermaHaste = 1 * (1 - (float)GetHaste()/100);
	else
		PermaHaste = 1.0f;

to

Code:

	if(GetHaste() != 0)
		PermaHaste = 1 / (1 + (float)GetHaste()/100);
	else
		PermaHaste = 1.0f;

The formula for haste and slows is the same, but for whatever reason, whoever coded this thought they should be different.

Dividing one by the haste% inverts it to modify the attack delay instead of speed. The incorrect slow code multiplies by 1 which does nothing. Note that these formula are used in two places. (they really should be consolidated)

One last note regarding slow mitigation: as far as I can tell, it's implemented correctly in EQ Emulator, and GetHaste() gets modified correctly. Since the problem with slows not functioning correctly is in code executed after GetHaste(), slow mitigation code does not need to be altered and will work correctly with the fix.

Bash and Kick Rates

NPCs have a bash delay that is separate from the attack delay. When that timer is up, they will either kick or bash choosing one with some unknown logic. The important item of note here is that this timer is ALWAYS 8 seconds unslowed/unhasted. Changing the NPC's attack delay will not alter the bash delay on EQLive, but it currently does in EQ Emulator: if you give an NPC a -50% attack rate in the editor, it will bash twice as fast. This is a problem because the default attack delay on EQ Emulator is so high that making NPCs with correct attack delays will make them bash/kick far too often. The fix is, of course, to ignore the attack rate modifier for bashes.

Some parses to back my claim:

Code:

Here is a level 10 mob I parsed dual wield rates with.  His normal attack rate
is 3 seconds, but it is using 29 delay weapons.

Raid boss Aaryonar.  His attack delay is 1.3 seconds.  In this log he is
slowed.  His unslowed attack rate is fast enough that 'double rounds' occur in
the log, so it's more accurate to parse him slowed and divide by four.

A 3 second, 2 second, and 1.3 second attack delay mob all have 8 second unslowed bash timers.

Incidentally bashes having a static 8 second delay on unhasted/unslowed NPCs makes it easier to calculate slow mitigation using bash delays or to simply tell if the mob is hasted/slowed in parses.

One more thing about this bash timer: it resets when an NPC flurries. It currently does not reset on EQ Emulator. EQLive log proof:

On Al'Kabor and in old EQ, Rampages also reset the bash timer but they don't on EQLive currently.
