    The ratio of your TPA to your opponent's TPA will determine the success rate of your conducted thievery ops.
    Does anyone have a more concrete example of this?

    You mean like the exact success rate formula?

    or just examples of how this works?

    It means exactly that - the ratio of tpa to tpa determines the base success rate of thief ops.
    Typically a 4:1 tpa advantage is necessary for consistent success on most ops, 3:1 for easier ops.

    Is it straight up tpa ratio for op success? Using your example of 4:1 tpa advantage, 4 success for every 1 fail, or is it more complicated.

    It is more complicated, varies based on the op and thieves sent (?), and the exact success rate calculation has never been revealed.

    I wonder why they make the calculation rate known for attackers but us thieves are left in the dark? I want some solid factual math about how many more mod TPA thieves I need to have to get say 99% success rate.

    They didn't let anyone know anything.

    Players constructed the attack formulas.

    Yeah, even with formulas I was eyeballing attacks 4 ages ago. I stink at math and I saw guys with formulas bounce.

    Oh, and cool avatar, long named guy with a 'k' in it.
