Seems so... This and so many other great suggestions!

GREAT suggestions...
What is really sad is that this formula give absurd results while being needlessly complex.
It could be made much better by being simpler and more intuitive.
Like just having a part of armour acting as direct reduction and then applying a percentage one. Could make the three types of damage working in very different ways, while still being simple and logical.
For example :
Cut having the highest damage but being the most affected by armour.
Blunt does little damage, but is not much affected by armour (due to it already being a rather inefficient form of damage that spreads the energy on a large surface, so spreading it around even more is harder).
Piercing does average damage, is the most affected by threshold (piercing weapons tend to have less mass and kinetic energy, and to damage something with piercing you need to breach the outer casing first), but once the armor is pierced it's the less affected by armor.
That would give this code :
I dare to claim it's easier to read, simpler, more logical and giving more variety than the results we get in the game actually.

{
float soak = SoakAmountByDamageType(damageType, armorEffectiveness);
float reductionRatio = ReductionRatioByDamageType(damageType, armorEffectiveness);
return (magnitude - soak) * reductionRatio;
}
private float SoakAmountByDamageType(DamageTypes damageType, float armor)
{
float result = 0f;
switch (damageType)
{
case DamageTypes.Blunt:
result = 0.1f * armor;
break;
case DamageTypes.Cut:
result = 0.2f * armor;
break;
case DamageTypes.Pierce:
result = 0.3f * armor;
break;
}
return result;
}
private float ReductionRatioByDamageType(DamageTypes damageType, float armor)
{
float armorMultiplier = 1f;
switch (damageType)
{
case DamageTypes.Blunt:
armorMultiplier = 1.5f;
break;
case DamageTypes.Cut:
armorMultiplier = 2f;
break;
case DamageTypes.Pierce:
armorMultiplier = 1f;
break;
}
return 100 / (100 + (armorMultiplier * armor));

Are devs reading and thinking about it?

They give "top activity thread" etc but nobody of the devs really cares.

Ah, but we can dream. We still have that: dreams. Foggy, hazy, meaningless dreams.
