Thread: Proposed change to gated resource calculation
For instance, Kammris is a required resource to make Power Hammers. The relevent stat is SR with a range of 903-1000. Previously a Kammris with an SR of 952 would have been considered excellent (95.2%), but now is reduced to a quality of 50.5%.
It seems inconsistent to treat HQ resources as if they are horrible.
I propose the following change. When performing the gated resource calculation that a min cap of 1 is always used. This has the benefit of improving the resource quality for things such as Rhodium, but does not produce the negative scaling effect for quality resources such as Kammris.

The recent change to the gated resource calculation creates a negative scaling effect for HQ resources such as Kammris Iron. While the change can be benificial for poor resources such as Rhodium, especially when using a resource near the CD cap, the change can have a devestating effect due to narrow stat ranges.

952 is poor SR for Kammris. They relative frequency of spawns better than this must be high (i assume its linear). I prefer the stat caps this way, even if it means i have to use a few resource kits to catch up. You can still use this as a generic metal for SR.
I guess they'll just say we can't have it both ways. Which is fair enough I suppose.
I propose that they DO NOT change the system, 952SR kammris isnt a good quality Iron and as such should be reflected as such.

I think you mean "not a good quality kammris iron"
