Tenb is all about numbers. if too few people play mage he will think how to buff it.

Nope. That's not how he does things, you of all people should know that. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

The correct sentence is: If too many people play melee, he will think how to nerf it.

soo basically everything except mages get void now lol...

I actually got the motivation to seriously try 0.76, so now I have some thoughts grounded in that. I don't think I have anything to say that hasn't been already said.

1) I still don't like cool-downs because juggling spells is annoying and slows the game down, but they are much more manageable now than they were when the patch was first pushed out. I think more than anything, they just punish low level players, but a lot of things about this patch do that.

But thanks for lowering them.

2) Overall, I feel weaker. Not in the sense that I can't "lol 500k+ damage on ALL the things" anymore, but I mean weaker relative to monster HP levels. Things that I could one-hit with Imperil on BT and IWBTH before the patch now require 2-6 casts of various spell tiers with Imperil. Funnily enough, even though one of the stated goals behind the MMI revamp was to reduce reliance on Imperil at higher levels, without Imperil, I'd be completely screwed now -- more so than before. The low damage of monsters keeps things reasonable, but I don't expect that to actually last.

It is especially apparent when trying to use an element that a monster is resistant to, despite all of the changes to specific mitigation (i.e., lower initial specific mitigation, stronger Imperil, proficiency bonus). For example, against Dalek on BT, with Imperil, it took eleven wind spells to kill. Fucking Dalek. Before the patch, it would have only taken one or two casts. Yuki Nagato in RoB on IWBTH took ~62 turns, while before the patch it would have taken only 8-12.

I think schoolgirl marathons just became much more difficult for elemental mages, especially when you consider that mages no longer effectively have infinite MP when doing them, since Magic Missile was taken away. Damage didn't matter before; only time. If I were to try a schoolgirl marathon now, I don't think mana potions (finite) and Ether Tap (unreliable and not free) would be enough to see me through the end, unless I were playing on Normal. The only other option, Drain & Ether Theft, is intimately tied to holy magic, which is a little unfair given that the Magic Missile method required no investment and was available to all mages.

What might help is restoring the general damage bonus of Arcane Focus, fixing the damage bonus on the Godslayer title, and finding out where the 632 points that mysteriously vanished from my Magic Base Damage went. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

3) Spells not jumping over dead monsters is lame. If there is an asshole in the middle of the pack that you want to take out first, you'll end up making a huge hole in the middle that T1s can't reach across.

4) Perhaps it's just me, but resists seem more out of control than they were before the patch. If we're going to go ahead with cool-down on offensive spells, can higher-tier spells please have an innate counter-resist bonus, or something?

Nope. That's not how he does things, you of all people should know that. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

He also takes trolling Frith into account.

Also, please check whether damage perk is working, while you're fuc...fixing title bonuses (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

@ tenB

please bring back credits drop rate to previous version (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

HV economy now slowly become dead market (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)

Ugh... I wish tenboro would just take the cooldown off of offensive spells for mages. I know where this road is going, if mages stay the same the next thing to be nerfed is melee in the next patch, then the game will be slow and tedious for all of us...

It would help if he made SoL how it was before. You know, the never dying so long as SoL is on IA and you have enough spirit part. [sadpanda.us] This should not happen, ever.

Actually, it happens now.
The monsters can easily trigger the spirit shield. (the spirit point drop like a waterfall)
And the important point is, there is nearly no way to gain spirit point now.
(Don't tell me to use drain, if you tried, you know you need to cast a number of dark spell even with maxed the ability, then cast the drain with the debuff. Finally, you will gain 20~40 points)

Deflaion != market collapse

See my rant here

I was experiencing it firsthand after the patch is implemented (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

It's a bit hard something that grows on you suddenly change for the.. well worse ? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Well Tenb. After trying to play the .76 version of the HV game, I realize the game isn't playable for me any more.

1. I do not have the time required to play enough to support the monsters I've made.

2. I've been reduced to playing on normal in order to win a battle. Battles are taking 15 to 50 more events than they used to. If I face more than four or five mobs, I'm probably dead. ON NORMAL!!! I'm DEAD!! that is just to fucking sad. So unless you make some drastic changes real quick, every monster I've made will die, because I can't play the way it is.

3. Over the years I've been playing the HV has helped me relieve the stress of my personal life for a few moments each day. Now playing the game is a source of stress, and that is the last thing I need.

So Tenb I've enjoyed the HV while it lasted & thanks for all your efforts & I'v sad to see it go.

I'll stick around for the galleries thou.

38 6 Need0213 uses EXinGongJi Zhong Pi Gu, and crits you for 3280.700870475 crushing damage.
38 5 Your spirit shield absorbs 107 points of damage from the attack into 2.31 points of spirit damage.

Some rounding is necessary here.

Deflaion != market collapse

If you're a member of the Austrian school, sure!

If not, then... not so much.

A proportionate drop of prices in EVERYTHING means your purchasing power remains stable; hence, no market collapse. A drop of the SUPPLY of money, as well as a drop in the VELOCITY of currency circulation, now that's a recipe for disaster.

And, it's affecting people differently. The ones running H@H/adopted servers probably don't feel a damned thing. The ones with Donor status (especially right at the top) do not have as significant an impact, although the impact is still felt. However, the free players are utterly affected.

Well, those running H@H probably felt the halve in hath prices.

Reduced Energy Drink stamina restoration to 10, and it can no longer increase stamina past 80.

Woops, I sold them for cheap, thinking they became useless.

Is it me or monsters are getting stronger ??? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Thats why the best thing to do in this week or two is to do nothing.

especially HTTP mobs, maybe because of crystal correction?
I can see maxed PL mobs coming in the near future because of crystals cost drop (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
