Edit: APM doesn't have the same significance as it did in BW cause Blizzard kept fucking around with it and even created an "EPM" which did absolutely nothing. | ||

IMAGINE IF THEY JUST UFKCING MADE IT ACTIONS PER MINUTES. Seriously. It's a simple concept. Stop messing around with it OMG. How can they make something so simple so damn complicated? Actions. Per. Minute. Actions/Time Deal with it. Holy crap. | ||

typ 1: countdown from 12 (12 three times) typ 2: countdown from 12 (12 twice) typ 3: countdown from 12 (12 once) typ 4: countdown from 11 typ 5: countdown from 10 typ 6: countdown from 9 typ 7: countdown from 8 typ 8: countdown from 7 typ 9: countdown from 6 typ 10: countdown from 5 typ 11: rise 5 5 4 4 12 typ 12: rise 5 4 4 12 12 typ 13: rise 4 4 12 12 12 typ 14: rise 4 12 12 12 12 typ 15: countdown from 12 (12 five times) (sometimes no countdown) typ 16: countdown from 12 (12 four times) (sometimes no countdown) example 1: if you click one time on tick 41 (apm type 9+2*16) you always get "6" current apm. Likewise if you click on 2:55 (apm type 9 + 9*16) you get "6" example 2: if you spam and then stop say at around 40 seconds. It does not matter if your last click was at tick 37 or 42. current APM will drop to 0 exactly during tick 47. Hopefully this will get me (or someone else) further in the avrg apm causa. P.S.: needless to say the first few seconds (split) dont obay the rules above (thx blizzard) | ||

Blizzardtime=/=Realtime BlizzardAPM=/=APM Cant we just make something that reads off memory and gives you actual APM as per realtime and we can show it on overlay ourselfs... (now im sorry for my ignorance but concidering the amount of hacks and trainers for diffrent games im guessin its doable) | ||

I think they already tried that earlier and regardless, you can check that using SC2gears. It's the one that doesn't say EAPM and instead says *drumroll* APM. You'll need to make sure the real-time measurement checkbox in te Options is checked, or otherwise multiply the amount you see by 1.384. Then you should be able to recognise that the amount listed in-game by Blizzard is nonsense. | ||

My test conditions: -3 clicks -current apm 0 latest at tick 60 -measurement at tick 63 (first "correction") goal produce maximum and minimum avrg apm at 63 result: min: 0 avrg apm with e.g.: single click at 6 (first few seconds are special) single click at 27 (a "type 11" action) single click at 42 (a "type 10" action) max: 6 avrg apm with: 3 fast clicks at start of game (my timing can surely be improved) other notings: sometimes avrg apm gets corrected (at 1:03) sometimes upwards, sometimes downwards, depending on the timings I use- it's not a pure apm buff per se, just a (wrong) correction, which happens to be a buff most of the time. | ||

Probably the same guy that thought of the new experience points and bonus pool system. | ||

It's the same responsibility as the guy who updates the streams on the right hand side of TL's streams. The goal of the position is to maintain customer retention. | ||
