Dice

[Sharkyland]

I'm not going to talk about why I hate them or anything, but... is it me or does the dice sometimes stop on the dime or sometimes stop and then move to a different number?

Like I get a 5, stays a 5.
Like I get a 6, it moves to a 2.

Game peeves me off when I'm happy to get a 4,3, but suddenly the 4 turns into a 1.

Lag (I have that problem)? Or could it be that:

Def and AP are normally swithced (If you get a better DEF, it becomes your AP, but not vice-versa), unless it is disabled when you set up a team.

I seriously don't think it's lag. I mean everything else is running smoothly. Do they think they are trying to imitate real dice because it flucuates for a second. Sometimes when you get a high number it favors a low number. I think it's too weird to be a lag.

Here:
Play a team... when you already have rolled your dice giving you a set number, do you see when the computer rolls and it almost becomes exact to your number, but one number switches (the one most probably rolling still).

I get what you're getting sometimes too, even more on the 'Judge' roll for abnormalities.

Just imagine though; sometimes when you're playing a board game with dice, a dice that's leaning on a 6 might tip over and turn into a 2.

Holy hell, I had some lag on ep3 servers today. I could see my dice roll one number at a time for 5 times in row. It sucks to see what dice you could've gotten.

It was like 2,1 then 6,5 then 1,3 then 4,2 then 3,1... argh.

heh, yeah the dice do that all the time. it can be frustrating thinking you got a great roll and it turns to crap right before your eyes. but the revers happens too.

do not hate the dice! you must embrace te dice and accept the good and the bad. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

(mmmm, i love it when my opponent hates the dice...!)

If you've played Mario Party games, you'll know this is common with game dice -.-

[Sharkyland]

Not all the mini games depends on dice. Usually I don't care what dice roll I get in Mario Party. Usually I was the best button masher, then I taught this one girl, and she literally smokes people. ._.

Must be lag. But I agree with getinthegame, that could ave been disabled.

The dice in the game are not random. For one thing, the dice roll that determines who gets to go first are not random in that they cannot be equal. I think if they are suppose to be random, the random number generator they use is not very good.

I don't think its lag all the time. I do agree with the person who said that it might be trying to imitate a die slowing down but still rolling over a corner to another number.

I wonder what the dice code looks like...

a = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} // atk
b = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} // def
c = 0 //dice +1, +2, +3, etc. type things
d = 0 //new atk (part I)
e = 0 //new def (part I)
f = 0 //new atk (part II)
g = 0 //new def (part II)

random a
random b
d = a + c
e = b + c

if d > e,
then f = d & g = e
if d < e,
then f = e & g = d

end

for just random number but for dice slowly stopping a bit, I wonder how that would be included (of course, this random thingie doesn't include dice half or set rolls like 3,3)

its not lag. what the original poster was talking about is something that happens every time you play the game, online or off.

the die slows to a roll, it dosent stop on a dime every time.
