[X] My Assistant

And I'm not complaining that I lost, I wanted to point out that 3 candies for 5k tickets is outright insulting.

It's just that this sound suspiciously like a complaint, to my ears ... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

But now I've also got an issue with those who think that I'm rich, a gallery/hath baron who vomits GP like if it was nothing.

It's not people's fault if, from time to time, you go out of your way to convince them exactly of that (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

EDIT : Oh, and btw ... in case someone didn't got it, my post here was meant to be irony (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif)

Not like sort of made of iron (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) Irony, like ... being funny in a smart way, something like that (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

Level 419 and Daemon Duality III reached (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

That was a huge pot for a Peerless Shielding Plate Helmet of Warding (I am aware of the argument that in such cases, the pot size is reflecting the cost of "buying" chaos tokens) but 5000 tickets is still a lot. I was so cheap that I declined to enter a 7000 ticket pot for Peerless Savage Power Helmet of Warding which only equates to a 2.45m pot. Then later I bought a Peerless Savage Power Panties of Warding for 3.6m, so I would have been better off gambling on the helmet.

Doesn't matter since I have a better helmet waiting to be soulfused now, but I still wouldn't have minded that helmet. If there's another one for auction someday I would bid on it.

As for the insult of caffeinated candies, I have this rationale: maybe chaos tokens were "meant" to be useless. Ea-Moon was talking about attempting to justify or prove the cost of chaos tokens recently. If you try to justify them according to how many tokens the lottery gives you per millions of credits in the pot, then chaos tokens are very expensive. But if you try to justify chaos tokens by how much credit returns your chaosed monsters give you, then in all likelihood they are almost worthless.

From that point of view, the caffeinated candy are worthless, the chaos tokens are even more worthless, and the golden lottery ticket is also worthless (in my opinion they have worth especially since I don't have one, but to players who play lotteries regularly and accumulate the golden lottery tickets they eventually become worthless, and understandably don't seem to do anything because for valuable items everyone uses golden lottery tickets, canceling each other out).

Golden lottery tickets are more like a "rich guys club" entrance fee to have permission to bid fairly on big ticket items. I'm not a member. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/anime_cry.gif)

I know the feeling... the lottery is the only "reliable" source of good equipment these days. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Yes, all lottery rewards besides the equipment suck (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

But I don't know what I'd want to fix that, either.

Honestly, I think the lottery system as a whole sucks. It's there as a GP sink, and I guess it's kinda functional to that end, but it also means that all choices made regarding lottery design & reward models must be balanced around regulating peerless rarity.

And frankly, I don't like the way it generates good quality peerlesses only to end up in the hands of those who don't even play the game. But that's mostly just salt.

I like it when people who absolutely don't use the equipment win with 1 ticket while people who burn max tickets go

The lottery prizes are a lot better than before. It used to be one chaos token prize, soul fragments and blood tokens. Getting soul fragments was worse than not winning anything at all.

ok, let's go! i wanna be lucky bastard!

I only did numbers for monsters under level 100. I was meaning to do ROI calculations on lv780 and lv1560 monsters for how much they bring back to how much the crystals cost, but I only have a sample size of one of each type to work off.

died 2 times in a row again .. ^

Just hit 400 in about 6 weeks. I know that levelling is more of a detriment than not, but me likey big level number more than me like big credit number. My just-above-napkin math says that it'd take me about ~122 more weeks to hit 500 at this rate. Does that sound roughly correct? [repl.it] Here's my e-napkin calcs; corrections welcome, since I'm not super sure I approximated the

Good luck on your goals (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Just thought I'd drop by to mention that if that axe you IW'd is your main weapon, it might be the cause of your times. I see from your prof gain that you are 1h heavy, and you're having to cure a lot despite shadow veiling and hasting, (both of which slow you down ordinarily (esp. for imperil users)), it's probably because you lack the parry from having a rapier/shortsword/waki. I'd highly recommend a rapier or a shortsword, the extra parry will help with counters, increasing your damage, reducing the amount of times you need to cure, and potentially even allow you to drop shadow veil and/or haste, further improving your times. Even just being defensive enough to no longer need to silence will drop 108 turns off your time, without even accounting for the rest.

Thanks for the tips (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
I'll look for something. I can withstand up to 6 mobs without the need to use silence (5 mobs with legendaries). Imperil I only use on Legendaries/Ultimates. I usualy start using haste @6 mobs. LV300 is far from being farmable as of now.

I made the worst possible End of Days run. *sigh* (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif)

Not really playing anymore but I reached 550 for mage profs
