[X] My Assistant

Is there a reason standard elements get the option to invest in cast time and damage boosts but light/dark cant?

I think it's a trade off. I invested in both elemental mage and holy/dark mage (never learned to play melee). With the elemental mage the cooldown is shorter (with enough abilities) but the spells hit less monsters than maximised holy/dark spells. Holy/dark is slower but hits more.

Are abilities supposed to be set individually to our equipment sets, cause mine seem to be... kinda. There are no abilities assigned to slots for my 2nd set right now, but my vitals boosts are increased. Does this mean I could theoretically set other abilities and still keep the abilities from my 1st set? Hope this gets fixed soon.

They are, kinda.. but it doesn't seem to be reinitializing correctly. I'll have to fix it tomorrow.

You're actually getting less base mana with MP Tank and Cloth MP abilities slotted?

I am not sure if it is because of a gold star / white aura issue (my big loss for getting white aura first and then aiming for black rather than the other way around it seems) but my MP dropped from 2800+ fully loaded to 1956 with full Cloth and MP tanks slotted. That offensive spells now cost more MP has only added to the pain.

My base magic damage has been cut by ~20% and with the other changes to spells they overall do significantly less damage beyond that steep base reduction. I used to be able to 1 spell kill on heroic. Now it often takes both both tier 3 dark/holy spells plus a lower tiered spell to get anywhere on normal. If a monster happens to resist, then because of the cool down, I am essentially screwed.

As other players have commented, the lack of magic missile complicates mana regeneration.

There are many more issues, but this will do for now.

woot better spark got added

woot... spend all my point in other useless/not my class abilities.... and my monster havent drop aything... gonna go to sleep and see if in 8 or more hrs this is all fixed... thanks.

Cloth should get Evade ability for mages to survive during cooldowns.

Fuck that shit.

With cooldowns, mages are way slower than meleeing, while being much harder to play and with no redeeming qualities.

Sure, I have burst damage, but that damage is now massively nerfed. When someone with a 120 million credits holy set can't even take down 1 mob on IWBTH (Ragingheart) with Paradise Lost -> Disintegrate -> Banishment -> Corruption -> Smite, and then having to endure a cooldown of about 3 turns before I can kill again, how the fuck is that balanced? All of that costs about, oh I don't know, 400-500 MP? That's like 1/5th my mana bar.

So yeah I have a problem with cooldowns. If paradise lost can actually kill shit with 1 shot (with imperil is enough, but without imperil is better) then no problem. But when imperiled mobs with full APs spent on imperil upgrades + holy upgrades + staves upgrades + cloth upgrades can only scratch 30% HP off of Ragingheart on IWBTH imperiled with a fucking crit, then I don't know how else I'm supposed to play.

How about an option to add Gems to quickbar? It could cost us a mastery slot or something.

By now I believe the most significant remaining complaint is about offensive spell cooldowns?

I'd say the most significant complaints are that everything costs untold millions while credit income rate has been heavily reduced, equipment drops at a rate of 1 piece per 94 arenas and keeping up the morale of just one monster feels excessively expensive at this point. Still no "happy pills" in sight, btw.

My PL585 monster's next crystal upgrade requires 4135 primary attribute crystals. How is it possible to need that many crystals just to keep its morale up?

They are, kinda.. but it doesn't seem to be reinitializing correctly. I'll have to fix it tomorrow.

Don't forget about the enchantment bug and the refund. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Do they? only the T3 dark/light spells hit a wide area. Mastery points are at a premium, especially with the right site unlocks scalling up in cost. Spell users having to invest to heavily in red masteries is... ouch.

//My useless 2-cents

Rather enjoying the new patch. Sure it can use tweaks and such, but it definitely beats the boredom of 'lightening->fire oh something live? ice' - actually find myself using the spells never had before. The monster lab changes are rather nice for when don't have time to check for gifts, and well...feeding them? Sure! Can we get them equipment too next? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Anyways, liking the direction this patch took. Then again, I'm an extremely casual player, eschewing ROB and rarely going deeper into arena, so probably not a very shared opinion *shrug*

I'll ask again, why did you change Energy Drinks? I don't think anyone was cheating and restoring 20 points up to 99 was fair. Please put it back to the way it was so that people can do things like Item World.

So.. Shatter Strike only affects 3 targets now -.-

How did that happen? The overall cost (that is if you were to max it) is lower than before right? And your old perk tier got rounded UP to the nearest new tier, no? In which case you'd save hath if you bought either of the perks in those two categories.

I spent 1k for DD1 and then 2.5k for DD2, which is 10%. Now it costs 2k to get the same 10%.

So essentially I've been cheated of 1.5k haths.

But hey, haths are easy to come by, right? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

- HV is now widescreen! That's exactly 256 pixels wider. Minimum recommended resolution is 1280x768.

8 USERS AGAINST
VERSUS
1 USER IN FAVOUR


I LOVE YOU TENBORO (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) , but I think you need to pay attention to the widescreen problem; I literally
read through all of the 611 posts in this thread and I went on to quote every user who had something to say
about the new widescreen layout; 8 users are against it and only one user is in favour of it;




IN FAVOUR

The new design is so cool... and even having a 1024x768 screen there's nohing that Ctrl+- did not solve.

AGAINST

[*]Widescreen is a feature I (and probally more people) don't really want, either due to smaller screens or wanting to see the monster bars while watching movies, so a option to change it would be nice.

Ok I have never bitched about any of the other updates or asked you to change anything but please could you at least make it an option on the widescreen cuz I dont want it...cant see if my spells have taken(except for in the dialog )but still dont know how long it will last...and so far even though it might not matter anyway...cuz you might want to stick a fork in me cuz I think Im done too

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

I think having different size resolutions (SD and HD) should be a setting. Not everyone plays on desktop pc, and some of us have cheap laptops with weird resolutions (1366x768). Using the browser zoom messes up a lot of the server rendered images/text due to rendering artifacts.

Ok, after FINALLY winning an IWBTH hourly:
EDIT: Forgot to mention I am an older square monitor resolution player as well...if everything else wasn't frustrating enough now I have to fudge with my settings just to get a good view. That is REALLY burning me up right now.

All of the good shit that came along with this patch put aside, it seems
to me that HV in "widescreen" doesn't make much sense. I can easily
imagine everything I see in this new HV fitting into the old layout
everyone were used to up till now. Worse, with this new layout I
have a hard time playing HV and wathing a video simultaneously
on the same 1366 x 768 laptop screen. With the old layout I had
no problems playing HV and watching a video on the same screen.

I might also wait until 0.77 since hopefully summer will soon start so that I won't spend as much time behind the screen which currently have to be a wide one. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Wide screen: i dont like it... i need to see my hentai while im playing HV... Tenboro, please dont be so mean and turn the window back as it was.

There's some merit to the "play on a lower difficulty level" advice.

I mage, and I was playing primarily on Nightmare pre-update. That's become a lot more difficult, so I decided to switch down to Normal, which is very doable. However, I'm getting roughly the same amount of XP per fight on Normal post-update as I was on Nightmare pre-update. So effecitvely it's just increased the difficulty ceiling by scaling all of the difficulties up a bit in therms of challenge and XP reward.

I guess it's different if you're farming for credits/drops, but certainly there's at least some counterbalance to the fact that I'm getting mugged on the moderate difficulty levels.

I spent 1k for DD1 and then 2.5k for DD2, which is 10%. Now it costs 2k to get the same 10%.

So essentially I've been cheated of 1.5k haths.

Does this mean your hath perk wasn't rounded UP to tier 2 -> 15% damage? (Which costs 4k)

Evidently it was worth it at the time. Now it's cheaper. Why, exactly, is that a problem?


I bought an axe at 50k earlier, now I see one similiar being sold at 30k. I want my money back, WTS forum. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
