v3.0 NewsHello everyone,

after a while of no updates (last one was the tentative TFS update), I finally got around to bringing the sheet up to date - BUT I had to make a couple of minor and major changes to the spreadsheet that I want to talk about:

The elephant in the room is maintenance requirements versus available time. The sheet grew a lot over the years to a point where it wasn't really bearable anymore to spend the first two days of every content release on Zulmak damage testing. The main culprit here is the increasing number and complexity of exotics - Since many of them don't follow the rules of the default archetypes, getting their data requires a lot of manual data collection, their often unique behavior also requires a lot of mental gymnastics to make them fit our framework and damage model. I therefore made the hard decision to omit Exotics entirely from the spreadsheet and focus on legendary weapons that work way better with our modular system.

In return, I wanted to expand on said modular system - This means less manual data collection and more formulas, allowing for a more versatile system:

- Reload times are now accurately calculated using reload formulas instead of being manually measured. This allows for more options regarding reload perks, mods or exotics.

- Magazine and Reserves now include a base value and a max value thanks to Mossys exhausting data, which also allows for more user interaction.

- RPM is also customizable but it only really affects Cascade Point and Adagio

Which brings us to the crafting feature - I also omitted curated rolls from the sheet as they were pretty arbitrary. The old version only allowed for one crafted weapon at a time in the Database and the UX wasnt really nice since you had switch between pages. Crafting is now baked in to the Database, which should make it a lot more pleasant and accessible to use. There are also many new perks available thanks to the more modular approach described above.

Damage testing will from now on be performed in a two-way setup on Kalli and the Enclave instead of Zulmak, Zulmak was a historic decision shortly after sunsetting was announced but as it turns out, Last Wish was not the next raid on the chopping block :)

***

Some features of the old version are still missing, most importantly the damage over time graphs (the staircase visualization) - I'm working on implementing it for the new version.

Expect some bugs or minor mistakes, I had to rebuild the sheet almost from scratch, i'll work on fixing them asap. I appreciate any message pointing me to things you found.

The old pages including the old Database with all Exotics are still available as hidden pages. They will remain in TFS launch state but can be accessed for now

***

Cheers,
Maeix

Disclaimer /
Remarks		All data got collected manually and therefore can include mistakes like false values or information. If you happen to notice one, please contact us! Some of the parameters are relatively hard to determine precisely and we obviously can't guarantee them to always be correct. As most of the data on timings got determined using frame counting on 60fps recordings, the general margin of error is 16.66ms. This is even more of an issue as some of the values listed in game turned out to be misleading or straight up wrong. (Example: Truth is listed as 15 RPM while it actually is 45 RPM). Even the slightest change in values or assumptions can cause significant movement among the rankings so judge the weapons with caution and common sense and don't blindly rely on this spreadsheet.
102
Some (exotic) weapon mechanics exceed what the formulas can handle and therefore got slightly simplified. Read more on those cases in the 'How-To-Use'-tab
