What Does "procs." Mean?

[Valkyrie9001]

Yes.

[bejuizb]

I had the same question

[General_Krull]

I'm assuming this is related to new damage system. It means that whenever you do a critical hit your gun adds special effect. Like heat setting things on fire and something somethings something.

[KONAir]

Short for Procure.

 

I won't explain what procing effects mean though.

[Lazer]

Trigger.

 

Activate. 

[TeddyBear]

Chance. Proc  rate in mmo for example means the chances of something activating . 

 

Thanks what it means afaik. 

[ValhaHazred]

Programmed random occurrence.

It is basically another way of saying RNG.

[Tei_S]

Programmed Random OCcurrence. That's what I was told at least, and it was what stuck with me.

[OblivionNecroninja]

Trigger, usually.

What's the context?

[Bakim0n0]

I pondered for a great while about this. I went on a long walk letting it percolate, then I called some friends, relatives.... even wrote a letter to local government.

Then I googled "what is Proc"

Proc chance is the chance of an additional effect being applied/ something being activated.

OP, You need education in your classic rpg game terminology.
You must be young, and that's ok. we all gotta start some where.

Think critical hit chance, only applied to an effect other than amplified damage. For example, if your weapon has a 5% proc chance to set an enemy on fire, then you'd have 1 in 20 chances that each attack with that weapon will result in that person beginning to run around on fire.

[AbsolutionZero]

Proc is very simple.

 

It's when something is activated or triggered, mostly used when relating to % chance of something.

What these guys said me thinks.

[Akateko]

Awww demmit I came here with a joke involving crocs and procs. But you guys had already been helpful, even sensible.

This forum is going to the dogs, actually being helpful. No trolling or joking, what is wrong with you people?

well technically i didnt include at least an encyclopaedia full of RPG / Game terminology. I figured they were enough.

[Joocyfroot]

Proc was originally short for "spec_proc" (spec_proc is short for "special procedure") which is a term used by the original programmer of Circle-MUD, Jeremy Elson.

 

It's basically a piece of code that is triggered when sometimes happens in a game world.

 

Recently, the term has been used in the Warframe community to describe potential changes to the game in terms of the damage model where striking an enemy with a critical hit will also trigger additional elemental damage.  The change to critical hits proc'ing damage is supposed to attempt to bring some balance to the game, yet the Soma has a massive critical hit profile and is currently better than every primary gun, thus adding more power to guns that crit alot will probably actually further separate the power of the guns (IMO).

[ValhaHazred]

Fortunately though the proc is now seperate from crit. Scott (or was it Steve?) said they are different stats now.

[d65vid]

Power Released On Contact is what I've always heard.

 

The way that elemental mods work for weapons in game right now are basically a proc effect with 100% chance.
