The reactions page

[Gwynbleiddd]

Since the reactions page needs serious updating i've made this blog with my proposed values.

 

[Grudgeman1706]

Looks good man

 

[Antvasima]

I suppose that this seems reasonable, but it is best if the rest of the calculation group give input first.

 

[Lina_Shields]

We have a rule regarding reactions here. In the rules page, it states that:

Reaction speed has both a distance and a timeframe component, so all calculations that are completed for reaction speed cannot simply be a timeframe by itself. Do not randomly assume a 1 meter distance for each timeframe and use that speed for the reaction speed.

I would like DT's opinion on regarding subject on this. However, if necessary, I am willing to re-write the reactions page according to KKapoios' values in the blog.

 

[Antvasima]

Yes. Thank you for the information. It is probably best to ask DontTalk to take note of this thread.

 

[Lina_Shields]

I have messaged DT about this thread. He will come shortly.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay.

 

[DontTalk]

Hmm... That is for the perception values, correct?

Well, I believe that the reaction time values we currently have were an undiscussed standard (I don't quite remember what was said regarding them in the last thread about the reactions page).

Technically I am in favor of ranking them after a system we know the reasoning of and the 1 meter standard to get the timeframe doesn't sound unreasonable.

Implementation wise one has to keep in mind though, that this would be a ranking system change. So we would have to find and change all profiles that currently have such reactions listed and change them.

While I think not all too many profiles have those, I also don't know if we can effectively filter the profiles to find those that need to be looked at. So making such a change could be some major searching effort.

 

[Antvasima]

Well, given how few profiles that seem to have used it (I have kept track of most things in this wiki, and don't recall seeing it), as opposed to simply usually giving characters the same combat and reaction speed, I think that we can simply change the page, and let members gradually modify statistics if they notice anything.

 

[DontTalk]

I also only know the two I have calced it for.

Well, if they are so few, then I am in favor of changing it, I think.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. Thank you for the input.

 

[Gwynbleiddd]

So should we update the page now or wait for more input?

 

[Antvasima]

Well, since DontTalk is okay with it, I suppose that it is alright.

 

[Gwynbleiddd]

I've updated the page.I think we shouldn't close this in case of an objection.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay.

 

[CrossverseCrisis]

This seems okay enough, i guess...

 

[Faisal_Shourov]

I have no problem, we can edit the profiles gradually if needed

 

[DontTalk]

Lina reminded me on something important: All the reaction time levels listed should have a suffix like "perception" to differentiate them in profiles from actual speed stats.

 

[CrossverseCrisis]

So like add "(insert speed level) perception" or something like that, yes?

 

[DontTalk]

Yes. Since we used that suffix before, I suppose we can agree on using it now as well.

So I will change the page for now.

 

[CrossverseCrisis]

Fair enough.

 

[Lina_Shields]

I can clean up the page so it looks more presentable, if you guys need.

Edit: Nvm, it looks clean. Also, should the term "infinitely swift" perception be added for characters with infinite speed?

Depends on if it's travel or not I'd assume.
