What about loading the monster database into localstorage?
User-side expenses and all that jazz.

This isn't an MMO. People play HV using cellphones.

Some good and balanced things happened...

Random credits' drops.
Crystal upgrades' morale increases.

Too bad I deleted 3 of my monsters prior, just to afford the costs.

But I'm thankful that I can at least keep the other 2.

Well, random credit drops are weird, but if the payout rate is higher then it's all gravy.

At least it makes IW and Grindfest behave a little like the old days where you actually got some dough out of them rather than depend on their drop rates at arenas and hourlies. Makes it easier to buy crystals instead of fighting for them.

And the actual initialization data for the monsters is in fact already stored in memcache. But anything that requires range scans on what is strictly a key-value store is very inelegant, and additionally requires overhead (though mostly development-wise) for code to maintain the values in question. It would also increase intra-node communication on the cluster instead of using the handy-dandy local replicated database copy, so all in all, I don't think you end up saving much in the end.

It's kind of your fault for knee-jerk deleting monsters when keeping them in existence costs you nothing...

If the wiki is correct then INT only raises a player's magic offensive abilities (+ a little extra spirit). It's basically a useless attribute for a pure fighter. Why should a fighter put any XP in it? The flippant answer might be of course they shouldn't, but is that really the intention here? To create a useless attribute that invites min/maxing to an absurd degree?

Meanwhile WIS is a super attribute with 6 defensive and offensive beneficial effects (+ that spirit thing). Even for a mage that creates an incentive to put more in WIS than INT. Could we get some balance, something that doesn't leave us with intelligence-free brutes?

extra spirit

This is why.

It is nice to have extra spirit when you are "Heavy Armor"ing...

It helps making long runs using spirit stance to mow down mobs with either maces or longsword, or niten and make vital spells like regen and protection less costly.

I cant say much about the patch. The resolution change makes play impossible with my bad old monitor (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

nvm

but a low resolution monitor thing is really needed

HP and MP tank ability upgrade doesnt work. Used them, didnt increase my MP or HP.

So these are my major complaints

- barely winning random arenas on normal difficulty
- me as a mage got nerfed into fucking oblivion
- the resolution change sucks balls for older monitors
- the ability points I invested into HP/MP tank doesnt even work, not sure about the damage things, or what I was doing wrong
- it seems like this new system benefits cash payers and lvl 350+ guys exclusively and makes them completely imba

I AM A HUMUNGOUS NOOB

Fixed.

Protip: You have to drag abilities to the mastery area at the top to activate them.

Protip: buy yourself a dictionary.

Noobs don't deserve proper spelling.

Do you have a reading disability, too? Is there anything about the topic of this thread unclear to you?

Do you have the HP and MP icons placed in your Major Ability slots?

thx. found that out, too.

But I dont get that you have to drag and drop them. I mean what would be the point of spending ability points on them if you don't want to use them. Seems a bit counterintuitive.
