This pops up every now and then. Why zos has it this way or does not let anyone know is beyond me. They've never (as far as I can recall) responded to this topic. My guess is it's just a marketing illusion for your basic casual player that doesn't know better, he thinks he's getting stronger with each point spent.

To my surprise, I only had to fix Thaum and one other blue. Everything else I had was optimal. Thank you.

I legitimately didn't know that integers as displayed on the interface (eg. 19% at 51 points) were still liable to getting rounded down.

Thanks very much for posting this.

ya jump points was a stupid addition

I suspect it was a lag reducing change. Though, the UI really need to accurately reflect the game on this one.

It would have zero impact on performance. If anything, the extra floor() calls would cost extra CPU cycles on the sever.

You do realize that in large software products like this, that the people who design the combat system ("this thing should boost damage by that much") are not the same people who actually program the combat system and they, in turn, are not the same people who program the UI.

I seriously doubt that any of the combat designers said, "we need jump points, please add them in". Instead, they said, "we need this star to have a curve like this, with the slope looking like this in the early points and falling off like that in the later points". And then the person who actually programmed the code for it probably just added a single floor() call somewhere in the code, and boom, you got jump points. Or they did something innocent like have the function that applies a certain CP effect only accept integers, and then inputs to that function get casted to integers and have their decimals chopped off.

TL;DR: Jump points are most likely the result of programming quirks associated with how the combat formula is implemented in code rather than deliberate choices by the combat designers.

Someone should make an addon for this, no point waiting for ZOS you will be waiting years and then it will be put in the crown store as a UI upgrade DLC.

Erm... what exactly would that solve? The jump point problem is that the stars always truncate--round down to the nearest integer. You don't need an addon to help you round 12.34% down to 12%, and you certainly don't need any charts or tables.

The problem is that casual players don't know that CP stars round down. If you know about the problem, you don't need an addon to help you ignore the digits after the decimal point. And if you don't know about the problem, how would you know that you need to get an addon? LOL.

If anyone cares this is still a thing as of Q1 2020.

Just tested with 51 points in thauma and 19% is still being rounded down to 18%.

I doubt they are going to do anything to specifically address jump points when they've already stated that they are working on an overhaul to the entire CP system. I know it sucks.

And recovery is whack. 75 points in mooncalf ( = 14%) seems to be only increasing my stam reco by ~10% lmao.
