Monsters still quadruple evading/resisting spells in a row + cooldown for spells = what the hell

The cooldown should only be activated if the spell actually hits and does damage. Otherwise this is just broken.

The only thing i have a problem with is the mana nerf. I've always had just enough mana to cast all the supportive spells, but now just casting Heartseeker and Regen leaves me near manaless.
Don't know if it because spells cost more due to ability points not reducing mana cost now, or the new mp ability does not scale to match the old mp tanks %. Or just both.

(IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif) (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif) I just spent all these credits on mage stuff at auctions..... When mage is unplayable for me. The credits should have been used for all the new trainings. Also, my next artifact training costs more than double? Is that a bug?

What happened to Spark of Life???

And is the only way to get battle item slots (potions) to train them now?

I don't play much anymore, but I actually love the direction this is going.

Not loving it at this patch right now, but I think I agree with the general idea.

love the way things are going but agree with the general idea (Screw this by Ichy)? PARADOX!!!

Sort of. Look at Supportive 2. You can augment the spell Protection with one of the four elemental spike shields, which will increase your resistance against that element.

Can someone in IRC please ask what the rationale for this is? Why shouldn't ability points be used to increase elemental/dark/holy resistance like before?

My swords' accuracy stat is reduced... why... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

why? the question of the day... indeed... thats because some bug/detail mentioned in the new update/massive pwnage... choose yours wisely.

I'm sure other people have already said this, but I'm not sure that making the proficiency bonuses manualy aquired skills is the best idea. It would be best to still have completely passive bonuses from proficiency (I noticed I no longer get + endurance from having heavy armor equipped).
Honestly, now there is no reason to try to multispec or try for having all proficiencies. This kills a part of the game for me.

It would be nice if there was a balance, and proficiencies themselves still gave a small bonus automatically, without any ability point investment.

Can we at least get a refund/increase based on the value of ability boost before the patch? Most people invested heavily into it, and the price per drops from ~100k to ~16k at level 100- that's a lot of credits for us poor folk.

For the love of FSM!
I just tried random encounter on IWBTH with every ability upgrade that would make any difference activated and I died before killing first monster while before I would win without much sweat. Even with all mana and hp tanks bought and activated my MP is half of that it used to be, my hp is mere 9k instead of 13k, buffs last up to 3 times less round (heartseeker). I can't cure myself efficiently anymore with cure once in 5 turns and regen heling much less.
And I play melee, I am afraid to even think what mages are going through.

I see some improvements but all this crap going on just outweighs them.
I can't afford stars, there is litteraly no ISP in my country that would give me up speed to run H@H and I feel that in few patches I am going to be in a situation like in all those free MMOs with limited inventory slots. You can play but it's a more of a chore than fun.

Because everything is reduced in this patch. With the highly probable exception of our death rate. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

You and me both. Where's the friendship is magic in this update? All I see is screwing low level players over royally with the removal of "Easy" and "Heroic" as well as the loot penalties for lower difficulties. Some of us just want to get back to our galleries instead of wasting time in HV.
And get beta players to playtest it. It seems like nobody playtested these changes.

I only got into HV originally because the hourly battle kept getting in my way of checking galleries and then I noticed there was a "fun little RPG in there". Wow did we all get fooled on that over time.

There should be a way to turn hourlies off so that those out there that want to ignore such a broken, failed, game engine can never see HV if they do't want to and just use the site for the original purpose.

Ughgh grrrrr, it's worse than I thought.

How do I fix that wide-screen atrocity? I can't even concentrate on anything in there to begin doing anything.

i will buy death rate for 500k (looks like the only thing worth upper than binding of slaughter)

Random Observation:

Casting a spell with channeling costs me 1mp. Not a big problem, but it wasn't mentioned so I am not sure if it is a bug or intended.

Do you have IA and a net mana loss?

Either a refund or give us free item slots for crap sakes.

- The duration can be increased by maximum a factor of 7 (supportive/curative spells), given as: 1 + 6 * prof_factor, or 4 (everything else), given as: 1 + 3 * prof_factor

Is not enough given the fact of how everything is much more expensive, and there is no cost reduction/duration improvements from ability points

My HP went from 12K to 9.5K, my mana went from 1,100 to about 650. My spirit actually increased (What the fuck?)

My PMI didn't change much, but my burden went up to 77, from 73... My damage is down by almost 400, hit chance is down 10% (at least), crit chance is down another 15% or so...

this patch is fucking suck. let me hop onto normal now...oh...and 5 fucking token for FSM? the noodle better give me a goddamned legendary epic every time.



And where in the blood hell is SILENCE?

nevermind...found it..


19 rounds for haste (vs 50 something pre-patch,) 56 for Protection - thats actually a fucking improvmement...71 for heartseeker (vs 260 prepatch) exept now i can


but I cant do anything with only 600 mana. quit.

Firefox 17.0.6 all working for me. I needed to disable HVSTAT and another script, although.

Also, did anyone noticed that we are gaining shitloads of EXP? 1 battle on normal with 3 mobs gives ~50k EXP (OK, this is with gold star and 150 AL. But before I was getting around 1k). Getting to level 400 might not be that hard, I could say that the game scalled up in level.

Exp drop a lot, something like 1/3 compare to before.
