100percent Special Potential Scroll Safe?

Are they safe to use (the ones we get today)? I remember previously, these scrolls have blown up even with the 100% success rate.

[quote=Protevs]Guys, guys, guys. While it is true that scrolls where a % chance is involved might be 0.00001% away from what it's supposed to be, a 100% scroll is coded so it just performs what it's supposed to do without having to go through the % calculation. It [b]will[/b] work all the time because of this.[/quote]
This could be the possibility. You can rename them to 10% and they'll still work 100%.

Agh, i was about to say that

[quote=Ftart]100% cannot blow up. They are 100% success rate. In fact, more than 100% since you have traits to add an extra 1%. So don't be an idiot and believe everything you read.[/quote]

Traits don't work on Pot scrolls >.<

@Plethor Mass reveal earrings and hope for something good? Lul.

of course they can't blow up, that's why they needed to include it on the list of fixes on a prior maintenance along with returning the destroyed items to the owners.

the irony in this post is amazing

[quote=mrhob]@LightCuber: My reply is to respond to how the success rate will never be 100% due to the basis of probability that is generated because of how it is generated by any devices. Like I said, use at your own risk, even though it said that it has 100% success rate. If you did manage to remove all error generated, you are rich but that probably won't happen.

I'm gonna get Nexon the benefit of doubt that they have fixed the bug they had with the previous batch of special pot scrolls. The best case scenario will be that you will still have that .000001% (just made up, don't know exact unless you can see the source code) fail rate. Worse case scenario is that it's glitchy and blows up something.[/quote]

But if Nexon coded the pot scroll like a potion, this wouldn't happen.
If(pot scroll = 100%){give pot to item}
I've never seen a potion fail.

Well if it blew up after the fix, I'd say that would be an achievement.

@mrhob But a 0.000001% chance is like having one scroll fail out of 10,000,000. It's not going to just happen every once in a while.

OT: It's Nexon. They've messed it up before, and chances are they'll do it again. People have been using these scrolls all day, so just wait and see if anyone raises a red flag pointing out that it's glitched.

actually, that's correct. There's a rounding error for any numerical probability especially when you compute it by means of a computer (albeit small or large depends on numerical method used). Approximation is typically done with methods such as Taylor series and such and always has some degree of error. Use the pot scroll at you own risk, it can fail even if the fail rate is like .0000001%.

Its like pokemon. Some moves claim its 100% accuracy but it is actually 99.7% accuracy

[quote=MrrLucien]The scrolls have like a 99.999999% success rate this is because maplestory is a 32-bit game so it can't be 100%[/quote]
