I've never used the decay function, but I seem to remember that the calculations are done at night. So if you make changes today, they won't take effect until tonight when the magic happens. I think that's right at least.
I just checked this and I have no idea what is going on??? Think I have seen something like this before, but everyone has far too much DKP. should be around 40 max... not in the hundreds. This is definitely down to the decay.
I have then set the DKP Decay to the following rules: Full period legnth: 0 days Fully decayed value: 15 Decay period: 3
This means that every point is INCREASING to 15. So your points are slowly increasing, rather than decreasing. If you want 15%, then you'll have to enter 0.15.
I know understand the decay setup having reread it in a sober state and I understand it nicely..
I have set up the decay as such:
Full period legnth: 7 days Fully decayed value: 0.25 Decay period: 30
We may change the decay period but who knows?
OK .... one final question about decay... is this linear or exponential. I am sure I have read that this can be selected to do either and I am sure mine is linear. I can't remember whether this is this case or I was dreaming about this option. Basically I think I would like an exponential decay rate that favours casual players so they do not loose loads of DKP, but keener players, need to maintain a higher rate of gaming to maintain a high DKP (or they could spend their DKP of course).
