Difficulty of missions

[HMTKSteve]

Just so all of you know, this is how mission difficulty works:

This is the formula.

((WILL*0.8 )/2.5)+(LEVEL/4)

----------------------------

((WILL*0.8 )/2.5)

This formula decides how the user's will affects their crimes success rate.

Lets show a few examples.

Example 1a.

((WILL*0.7)/17)
User's will: 100

You start by running the functions in the parentheses.

So it would end up being:

((70)/17)

After that you just run the formula

70/17

Which Equals:

4.1176470588235294117647058823529

So using that formula on a user with 100 will would give them a 4.1176470588235294117647058823529% chance of the user succeeding.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Example 2a.

((WILL*0.4)/39)
User's will: 531

You start by running the functions in the parentheses.

So it would end up being:

((212.4)/39)

After that you just run the formula

212.4/39

Which Equals:

5.4461538461538461538461538461538

So using that formula on a user with 531 will would give them a 5.4461538461538461538461538461538% chance of the user succeeding.

-----------------------------

(LEVEL/4)

This pretty much explains itself.

This formula decides how the user's level affects a user's chance of succeeding a crime.

Lets show a few more examples.

Example 1b.

(LEVEL/21)
User's level: 51

Basically all you would be doing is:

51/21

So just run the formula which equals:

2.4285714285714285714285714285714

So if this was the only formula the user would have a 2.4285714285714285714285714285714% chance of succeeding.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Example 2b.

(LEVEL/54)
User's level: 98

As the other formula goes:

98/54

So that would equal:

1.8148148148148148148148148148148

If that was the only formula the user would have a 1.8148148148148148148148148148148% chance of succeeding.

-----------------------------

Now we combine the formulas...

-----------------------------

Formula 1

Example 1a+example 1b

4.1176470588235294117647058823529+2.42857142857142 85714285714285714=6.546218487394957983193277310923

So by combining the 2 formulas with each-other the chance of succeeding the crime is 6.546218487394957983193277310923%.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Formula 2

Example 2a+example 2b

4.1176470588235294117647058823529+1.81481481481481 48148148148148148=5.932461873638344226579520697166

So by combining the 2 formulas with each-other the chance of succeeding the crime is 5.932461873638344226579520697166%.

Does this change with difficulty levels?

[HMTKSteve]

The higher your Will (based on your house) and your level the easier the jobs get.

I'm working on hacking the code to display the actual percentage before you attempt a mission.

[Bobreeder]

Is it actual Will or max Will that is used when you try to do missions?

[HMTKSteve]

Is it actual Will or max Will that is used when you try to do missions?I will have to check on that.

[Bobreeder]

I believe, after recent attempts and yesterday's experience, that it is current Will, as I've managed to do loads more missions today with knowledge of this formula than yesterday when my will was >50% all day. Thanks for giving this info, it is very useful to me :)
