for server developers

[Richardo]

Ok, I have played a lot of servers with custom content and I have noticed something, your mobs have "horrible" hp setups, its either A.) Too Much, or B.) Way too less, I saw a level 45 mob with 1200 hp... So, I made a chart for level 1 - 60 mobs, Named, Normal and Boss Mobs...

Simple information, yet very cool information. Thanks for posting this.

Someone should sticky this in "World Development" or add it to a guide.

Custom content also means custom weaps, custom skills, custom spells, custom damage output?

The chart is good on 'Live' type server, not on Custom's ones. Thanks for it though.

Was just about to make a chart like that!

Thanks, I will use your reference!

edit - I just looked at the numbers and created a 2nd order polynomial function to describe the data. Correlation r^2 = 0.99,

normal mobs hp= -33.3+31.6*LVL+1.16*(LVL^2)
Boss/Named hp= -50+80*LVL+0.6*(LVL^2)

I also came up with a more aggressive hp equation -

normal mobs hp= 0+31.6*LVL+1.16*(LVL^2.1)
Boss/Named hp= -50+80*LVL+0.6*(LVL^2.4)

Thus
@lvl 10 462 901
@lvl 30 2415 4455
@lvl 50 5868 11123
@lvl 60 8185 15860
@lvl 70 10905 21634

Just change the exponent to reduce the curve

Well I use this chart of Dark Horizons, it wasn't your server that I noticed this on but I wont say which servers it is. I normally log on all servers just to check them out and see what im up against competition wise even if I dont think the server is very good, I still normally log on each one to look at it, including Shards of Dalarya. You are correct, Weapon/Gear setups will change how your mob dificulty will be but, the majority of servers I have looked through do not really have weapon + gear setups like KMRA that has 100+ ever stat, and 100dmg weapons.

If you do have weapons like that, I would suggest adding another 0 to each hp stat for each level ;p. Anyhow for your server magoth, I have gotten level 50 and through your gear, I would suggest using this chart because it is setup for gear such as yours, ofcourse DH only uses velious type statted gear it should be ok.

if this was in SQL format it might be usefull... working on it...
