EQdkp-Plus - DKP System - Raidplaner - Guildportal - Gildenportal - WoW, Lotro, Runes of Magic home of the EQDKP Plus Projekt

Hi. With the release of Wrath of the Lich King my guild will need new DKP system. And we will of course need at least two pools (10ppl and 25ppl), so further use of EQDKP+ is natural choice. But raiding in Burning Crusade show us very serious flaws in current EQDKP+ mechanics, when player stacked tons of points without gearing themselves in midcontent drops just in expectation for one big throats cutting biddings at Illidan.

So now we want to implement decay system, when between last raid at tuesday and first raid at wednesday (or whatever new instance reset day will be) admin will click "Deflate all DKP data in this pool by 10%" button, so it is will prevent to stack too many points by players. At some point they will weekly lose as much points as they earn by raiding. It will also prevent them from taking too long vacations :>

I could easily program this functionality, but... I'm lost in multi-dkp databases. It is somehow unclear to me, how the system stores this data in tables.
Where can I find some documentation for this feature?

Best regards.

Multi DKP doesn't save DKP per Member. It saves the raid and its points and saves the attendees of a raid. Later it calculates the DKP per

Sum(Sum(all raids the member attended),Corrections)

So if you want such a decay system, you need to add the decay as a group / individual correction.

Thanks for help. Is this calculation done once and cached, or is it calculated every refresh? Which multidkp function is responsible for this calculation?

Some of my ideas:
- succesively week by week multiply all previous raid values by 0.9 (and same with corrections). Done by script launched by admin.
- leave current raid value but for the calculation don't get bare dkp value, but value multiplied by 0.9^n (where n is the number of weeks that passed after particular raid, rounded down). This could be done without any ingerention into database and seem to be most elegant solution. But from the other point of view - may be performance killer.

Any sugestions?

Best regards and thanks for all the good job with EQDKP+ :)

It's done every refresh and currently there is no function to do it, it's implemented on every part of code where it's needed (e.g. listmembers, leaderboard, quickdkp). This will change with cleanups coming with v0.7.

Thought about adding "on the fly" decay for 0.7, but scrapped it cause there will be questions like "what happend to my points?"

Best solution imho would be a plugin/seperate function for decay (and maybe point cap) which creates adjustments, so people can see "hey I lost XX DKP due to decay or cap".

Might be a feature of 0.7, lots of things to do ;)

We use a decay system for our raiders.. And it's based on attendance and a set amount of decay.

Here you can see an example:
http://dkp.leftoverexiles.com/attendance/attendance.php
http://dkp.leftoverexiles.com/attendance/att08_08.php

The decay is manually added with "Add Individual Adjustment" after each month is passed.

I can put up the source for these php files if anyone wants.

Hi i have been looking for something to do exactly this

90-100% attendance 0 decay
50-90% attendance 20 etc
(values dont need to be exact just eg)

if you could post a plugin/script you used would be most appreciated.

does this also require the raid planner addon to be up and running or can it be setup as in our guild does 5 raids a week so when the data is uploaded it will check that weeks attendances and calculate from there?

/bump
Would love to have someone who knows some PHP to code something up to add a decay :D

I would love the source code for adding a decay column to my EQDKP at http://sanguis-attexo.com/eqdkp. If you could post the source files for your work I would really appreciate it.

Bump once again, this would work so well.

Also, is there a way to do a percentage based adjustment?

I can give you a script in the next few days, if you like. Its not a real plugin. its just a script, which adds adjustment for ALL members who have more the 0 DKP, but i don't know how it behaves with a multidkp pool, because i dont need one.
