Here is what GREE Said.

"We have also reduced the random factor within the algorithms so players will now receive more consistent influence point values in battle."

I call BS!

The variance in the points is exactly the same.

The only change was to reduce points across the board.

Gree. Please just be honest with what you do.

I agree with that

I agree. Variance probably did drop a small amount, but the average IP per hit considerably decreased.




Gold user with additional influence bonus didn't hit a single number over 550 this weekend.

Same here, never beat 550 despite +25% Syn bonus and own 20% bonus..

Before the change was getting 650 points approx every 8 hits or so, but with a far wider variance than now

I'm sorry for the lack of clarity there. We didn't say we were eliminating the variance, we just flattened the range (which did happen).

I had around 40 wins and none of them scored over 500 even with +58% influence increase

I don't know CJ. I guess it depends on what you mean by consistent points. I read it to be if you hit a person you
would receive consistent scores. I.e. 400, 425, 375, 400. Something like that.

For me I still had rather large swings from 298-540 on the same person.

It was definitely more consistent, usually id hit someone get 500+ then hit again and get less than 300. That didn't happen at all this time which is what gree said would happen
