High Quanta Experiment

[EvaRia]

Well, I already posted this in the Mindgate thread, but why not?
I randomly decided to do an experiment to see how much quanta I could get with mindgate.
I opened elements in 2 windows, and made 2 accounts.
Both decks were 6 mindgates, 54 aether pillars.
They challenged each other to a pvp duel.
As you keep using duality, you end up copying a lot of the OTHER player's mindgates.

The end result was this:



13163 AETHER QUANTA
632 AETHER PILLARS

You could probably go on longer if you keep from decking out with eternity.
See if you can get more!

How long did it take?

[EvaRia]

an hourish
not too long lol
once you get a full field of mindgates, you're getting like 16 pillars a turn so
ya

From my experience with FF7 and looking at system programming, I would say the max is 65535.  Once it hits that, it should overflow and start from 0 again.

Change to time mark and add a couple time pillars + enternity + a monster and see what happens lolz

From my experience with FF7 and looking at system programming, I would say the max is 65535.  Once it hits that, it should overflow and start from 0 again.

That's like 16 bit. I think for 32 bit, the magic number is 2³¹-1, or 2,147,483,647. That should be the highest value possible in the game, before it becomes negative.

Mindgate opened up so many possibilities.

This is definately an interesting experiment

Someone should try this with fire pillars added and fire lances, to see if spell damage is capped at 499 too . Or just do it with quantum pillars and see how much total quanta you can earn.... lol.

[EvaRia]

if you added an eternity and a creature, you will have a lot of that creature xD
Once both decks run out of pillars though, you can't get any more.
I was kinda lucky, one side hit the permanent cap pretty early.
so if you had like 500 quantum pillars, how long would it take on average to get all quantas to 2³¹-1?

You could use the method they did in the max hp experiment and just continually rewind an rol on each side when a tower is the next card. So basically on your turn you would use all mindgates to get towers, then rewind their rol (and yours if you have one person doing both rewinds using animate weapon) so that they dont draw the tower and after they play the rol the next time it will be the next card again.

[EvaRia]

true.
another thing to note, when I had about 7ish cards left, mindgater1 got an instant win.
So in fact, both people won 0.o
