Description:
I have noticed that the DKP has started to decay but the rate is not showing in the current column but it is showing on the graph below.

What do i need to do to get it to show on the current column?

I've had a look at your decay configuration and I can tell you that the decay rate is displaying properly.

Given your settings:

* 45 Days Full Points
* 30% decay floor
* 1 Day Decay Timeframe

This means that your points will be static for 45 days (full points), and then over the course of a single day (or for most cases, it'll be instant, since decay is calculated daily), any points earned or spent will immediately decay to 30%.

First, I must ask, is this by design? Or did you want decay to be a more gradual process?

Second, the decay rate column is based on the instantaneous difference of decay on any given day. So on a day where decay will happen for an individual, you may see a number show in the decay rate column. But because of your configuration, and decay being, for all practical purposes, instant, there isn't usually going to be a decay rate (except as said before on a day where the decay will be hitting for that particular individual).

A decay rate implies a gradual change, with the current decay representing the change on that particular day, whereas in your case, it's simply instant.

Typically, decay is set to decay over a longer timeframe, and when this is the case, decay will actually have a value that shows.

Which is why I asked if this configuration is intentional.

I wanted more of a gradual process. The decay its self is working. It dropped down. IS it because its set for 1 day vers like 7 days that the decay rate doesn't show?


Correct.

As it is now, each DKP "event" (Points Earned, Points Spent, Adjustments) immediately drops from full points to 30% of its original value.

As an example, when I built this system for my own guild, my guild used a Decay Timeframe of 120 days - meaning that it took 120 days from the first moment an event began to decay to when it was finally decayed. It was a slow, gradual process of phasing out the relevance of old raids.

In your case, events are either "full points" or "full decayed" - there isn't any in-between where points still *decaying*.

And maybe you want it that way, but it just means that the "Decay rate" column will be mostly useless in your case.

Thanks fro your help and understanding of that. I might as well just remove the column from displaying then.

Thanks again
