Also, there's no rule against stacking multipliers.
Actually, there is, but they're very loose. And there were plans to remove hundreds or thousands given the existence of multiple steps of upscaling, but not sure if it was ever applied. Not so much argument against the proposals, but still something with loose standards none of the less.

Could you explain how this goes against the stacking? To me, it just seems like a guideline but I could be wrong.
If multiple multipliers are to be stacked, that are used upon each other, the evidence for the end result is equal to the total multiplier applied to the best feat. That means that if, for example, a character has a times 10 multiplier and later on gets another times 50 multiplier, than the evidence necessary to use both multipliers to get a statistic, is like that of a times 500 multiplier, as the best feat would be increased by a factor of 500 in that case.

In regards to multiplier stacking one should also pay attention to whether a multiplier applies to the strength of the character without the other multipliers applied or with the other multipliers already applied.
 
That's literally just how math works tho, I don't understand your argument. If something doubles 5 times, it is 32x greater than before, that's an undisputable fact, so where is your argument stemming from, incredulity?
You are choosing not to address my point and I don't understand why?

Are the calculated multipliers backed up by the series in any instance? Any at all. Is there any time when Issei boosts a bunch of times and we get a statement of the multiplier that added up to?

What I am trying to say here is we are given absolutely no backbone at all to these calculated multipliers, which is very bad because the wiki's standards on multipliers are very high.

For example, in the OPM verse I had to argue quite a bit to get a graphical multiplier accepted because staff didn't like the idea of applying a multiplier that was shown and calculated rather than stated explicitly. And this was a case where we actually did have an explicit visual of the exponential graph multiplier. Which is a lot more than what it seems DxD has. Not to mention it still aligned with the overall level of power in the verse.
 
Is there any statement for Issei using boost 5+ times and it being stated that he is 32x stronger than before? For example?
Not sure if this is what you’re asking, but isn’t that what Raynare says when she mocked Issei’s first Boost by saying 1 doubled only amounts to 2?

This was when she thought he had a standard Twice Critical.

I mean beyond just the doubling. Like is there anywhere the series acknowledges the extent of these multipliers beyond just the 2x amount. That's what I am asking. Like 20 doubles would already be a multiplier of a million. Does the series mention or hint at this whatsoever?
 
I don't get what you're asking, the point Masque is making is that it doubles the already doubled power level not that the multiplier increases.
 
I have spelled it out very clearly. I am asking for any statement in the series that would provide further support for the calculated multipliers you are attempting to apply.

If there are no such statements of these multipliers, nothing that hints at them being as big as what you calculated, no feats nor statements to support the level of power reached by applying them—then I will just have to disagree with it tbh. There's simply not enough evidence imo to make up for the fact that they hugely and massively buff the verse beyond everything showcased in it.

I don't think he's trying to pass off some new multipliers, he's trying to pass off accepted AP values related to the x2 boost. You're gonna have to explain your position a bit more simpler as I genuinely do not understand what you're disagreeing with.

I'm disagreeing with the multiplier stacking, because I do not see enough evidence to support its consistency within the verse.

Can you point me to multiplier stacking on the blog? From what I see it's just a x2 power increase but you just multiply the new power level by 2 again.
 
If y'all could just provide one bit of further support for these numbers I would agree with a strength multiplier. But atm there's literally just nothing but the calculations themselves.
 
I don’t think there was a 30x statement or something. Just the doubling or multiplication (and the exponential increase in the anime).

The number I remember is the Raynare example of 1 being doubled means it’s just 2, so Issei wouldn’t be able to reach her power level of 1000 if he could only double once.
 
So from what I’m seeing, he wants to propose a multiplier that is either consistent or not (mostly the latter) and even for his examples they still lack it. So then what was the whole point in using examples if the only really example he actually has is just the “double power”

We can’t use a proposal, we can’t use random numbers (if we can I rather we use just 2x), and there’s actually barely any supporting detail other then it just being stronger then another sacred gear that can only boost 2x…..yeah imo, just slap a “higher” and “far higher” rating with Boost and call it a day

He's not using random numbers he's saying it doubles power it's always beenx2 lol

Sorry for the late response, missed my bus back home. 💔
Anyway, why would that be necessary? The author gave us all the info we need, digging for specific details like that isn't important.

I mean, if you feel that way, sure ig? But I disagree.

DxD isn't OPM and I'm not sure what an "exponential graph multiplier" is but not liking something doesn't mean that it isn't valid or correct. And not believing it isn't either.

No but it doesn't need to, nowhere on the Multipliers page is it stated that that's a requirement.

Not sure what else to say, view the statement parts of the blog again. If that still isn't enough then I'd just say you're being oppositional without any valid justification. It not conforming to your standards doesn't mean that it doesn't conform to the wiki's.

And for anyone else in the thread that is misunderstanding how the ability works, I'll explain again, it doubles the power of the user as many times as the gauntlet makes the sound "Boost". If the sound is made twice, it's two levels of doubling (x2x2), thrice would be three levels of doubling (x2x2x2), etc. And I'm not pulling these numbers out of nowhere, this is literally how the ability is stated to work, and no amount of Poisoning the Well will change that.

Thought I'd also mention that the Raynare stuff was hyperbolic, just her cocky way of saying that she's far above Issei. DxD doesn't have a power level system and if it did, it is HIGHLY unlikely that Issei and Raynare would conveniently have a power level of exactly 1 and 1,000. And even if it was the case, Raynare is an extremely unreliable character. Despite her being a Fallen Angel, she couldn't recognize one of the most well known and infamous Sacred Gears in history, couldn't tell Issei was growing stronger throughout the fight, and compared V1 Issei with a few boosts to a high class devil.
 
What my brother there wants are actual scans or something proving the boosts are actually an exponential amp (2x every time) as using that at face value means Issei would reach galaxy level in like 20 boosts or so

Uh, no, Issei wouldn't reach Galaxy Level with 20 Boosts. And if everyone would actually read everything presented in the threads rather than basing their arguments off of incomplete information, I believe the conversation would go much smoother. For now, I'll specifically show examples of this. And Issei rarely uses more than 14 Boosts at a time in his later forms (IMT/CxC) because his body wouldn't be able to contain the power, in DxD/PDxD, he only ever uses 1 Boost. Though 20 Boosts in his Base are easy.
Edit: Y'all are acting like it's ^2^2^2^2😭
Also, perhaps a statement like this was what you all were referring to? Just in case this statement's relation to the Boosted Gear is questioned, I'll explain why it specifically refers to the powers of the BG. Firstly, the mention of miracles have almost always been portrayed as referring to the BG (And by extension, Issei/Oppai)/Sacred Gears. Second, narratively, it'd make sense for Saji to have jealousy toward Issei's Boosted Gear (Also shown via the subtle comparisons between the weakest Dragon King, Vritra and the Strongest Heavenly Dragon, Ddraig throughout the volume and Saji's acceptance at the end of their second fight that he's still strong.) and an understanding of it being a major source of his strength, after all, far before this scene (during volume 5), Saji's plan during his fight with Issei was to specifically stop him from Boosting, not from using his BxB or anything else. Third, when it comes to basic power increases like the ones that Saji was referring to, the most notable one in reference to Issei would be Boosts as it's his and the Boosted Gear's main ability.

Seriously we are having this conversation, what part of "doubling power every 10 seconds" is ambiguous.
It’s not ambiguous per se, but @Phoenks wants to see statements that Issei got a certain amount stronger from using Boost. However, the closest example of a number would be the Raynare comparison of Issei’s PL doubling from 1 to 2. There’s not really anything else other than the constant doubling/halving and multiplication statements, which are already in @MasqueTLDF blog.

As always, there’s no other choice but to wait for staff to decide.

I think Saji's "Issei can become over a thousand times stronger" statement works in this context but yeah, I agree.
 
Can I see this scan!??
I literally sent it here

Also, unrelated to the Boost topic, could we possibly assign a value for Queen Promotion based on this or no? I'd like to but it seems too unspecific to be used.
 
Ok so are we waiting for the reworked calc to be accepted? I’m assuming we still need more staff but what’s the multiplier we using
