Would have been better if Draughts could recover a bit more vitals than having a shorter cooldown. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Wow, good grief.

Well I wouldn't say I learned the hard way, but I did notice a few things.

Lost some HP, base damage dropped about 1000+ points, minor percentage drops on the mitigation and other defensive measures.

The biggest hit to me was my sleep spell I think. I used to get 3 people at a time for about 11 rounds; now I'm lucky to hit 1 for 6.

That takes a lot to take in when you're doing the 3x Trio & the Tree on PFUDOR. I lost by the way; It kind of stinks when you get hit with 4 special attacks in 1 round of fighting. The first 3 dropped the spirit too low to keep the shield up and keep spark of life going and then the 4th took me out.

I have to wonder though after reading the notes at the beginning how it affected the sleep spell that much.

laters,

RRViper
(guess that means I just have to build it up more)

With the new equipment rules, what am I supposed to do with something like this Legendary Cobalt Leather Leggings of Deflection?

This is neither usable with only 3 PABS, nor salable, nor even really worth scrapping for an HG leather since nobody buys those anymore.

Have there been any further thoughts on stuff that used to come with 4-6 PABs actually still getting that many?

OK let me try to put it in (probably) much simpler terms... Teboro said the maximum number of soul fragments we can get per day is 6. So once we obtained 6 soul fragments on a day how do we know when we can get more? So based on his statement for each 4 hours that pass, we can get 1 more soul fragment via RE...

Doesn't make any sense. Max RE is 24 a day. And they are half hourly. Meaning we can complete all the RE in 12 hours. According to your theory, we will only get 3 Soul Fragment in 12 hours.

Equipment/Loot Generation Changes

The way equipment is generated has been significantly changed. Instead of getting passed a "quality bonus" and from that generating random stats, before finally calculating its quality, the system was flipped around to always generating equipment based on a given quality tier.

Exq lights are now with only 2 PABs, and M/L are 3, pre-patch the lights can have 4.
Exq clothes and heavies can have 3 PABs before the patch.
And some new shields will now lack on STR or END, for a Legendary shield, it have to roll on which PAB it will lose. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Well that is how I interpreted what 10B has posted by saying our cap decreases by 1 every 4 hours. If anyone can come up with a better interpretation then please do so since this is how I see it (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

There's no point in trying to make sense out of something that doesn't make sense. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) Just do as many Random Encounters as you can and hope for the best, that's all there is to it anyway.

1. Trading - dead
2. Rewarding of leveling up- dead
3. Want to change playstyle? - dead
4. Want better equips? - dead
5. New players? - dead

That's exactly why I said this patch was designed to effectively kill HV itself, several pages back. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

What i interpreted is this: We need to trigger Dawn as early as we can, and we have to do as many RE as we can ASAP. Because when server reset at midnight, and Dawn's cooldown expires, starting from that time, for the next 4 hours you have the chance to acquire 6 Soul Fragments from RE. After 4 hours passed, and if you still haven't done any RE or haven't found any Soul Fragment, you can now only acquire 5 of them. In other words, if you have acquired 5 Soul Fragments by the 1st 4 hours, you can't get any more after that. And so on...

What I understand is:

6 is a limiter.
If you get 1 fragment, you can get 5 more.
If you get 2 fragments, you can get 4 more.

But that decreasing value will start a timer of 4 hours when it's less than 6, at the end of which it will get up by 1, then if it's still below 6, another timer of 4 hours start, and so on...

Now in a day, there are 24 hours. If you divide 24 hours by 4 (the time to wait for 1 possibility of drop to reload), you find 6, which is the limiter.

I guess 4 PABs are too much for leather or god forbid shade now. Maybe it's a subtle way to force the few remaining people using shade to switch to heavy power, so that light armor can finally be removed in the next patch without having to balance it.

Essentially correct. You can set 6 in 6 consecutive random encounters, with a bit of luck, but then you wouldn't get any more until four hours later - and if you then keep hammering REs, you'd get one every four hours. But if you waited a day, you could get 6 in a row again.

So, at most 6 per day on average - though technically, you could get around 11 in a 24-hour period if you didn't get any recently.

HOLY HELL! SUPERB!! MANY THANKS TENB!!! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

May I ask is there any bug on the equipment drop?
I mostly get average drop on PFUDOR round.
All clear bonus on the first page of arena @PFUDOR are also average drop.

Is it intended?

Tenboro, are you planing on making any changes to the equipment drops? Because I've been getting a bunch of useless stuff playing on the highest difficulty.

Some additional tweaks and additions:
- You can now soulfuse equipment that is up to 50 levels higher than you. (Note that you still cannot equip items that are higher level than you, so you have to soulfuse them to equip them.)

Bug? I was adjusting my stats.

Does that border still appears if you Ctrl++/Ctrl+- to change the zoom?

Time to be annoying

We need one more consumable:

With full Tincture you can slot all 6 infusions.
With full Scholar of War (this name has changed, i'll update wiki) you can slot 6 out of 7 scrolls.
With full Pack Rat you have 15 slots: 3 for health pots, 3 for mana pots and 3 for spirit pots; this leave 6 extra slots.

You can fill these 6 extra slots with 1 scroll (the one not yet on the scroll side), 1 last elixir, 1 energy drink, 1 flower vase and 1 bubble gum. This leaves one empty slot that currently is useful for the legacy potions but when the potions will be removed that slot will be unusable.

Can we get a Pony Elixir? It will increase the damage (+50%) and reduce the cooldown (to 20 turns) for the OFC for 200 turns.

Another idea is that we could have a consumable called "My Dick". It does not do anything but given that there is a hole in the battle items that cannot be filled with anything you just stick your dick into it. You know this is a hentai website.

"6 6 You use your dick, you masturbate in front of your enemies and splash your cum over them"

Maybe need to add chance to get bindings(respectively to eqip suffix/prefix) when salvaging mag/leg equip.

Can you please look into balancing mana cost for dark & holy spells to be equal to elementals? At least for the next patch?

+1

At least put it in Soon™ list.

Great changes, except that the cooldown reduction on droughts will be pretty useless.

Although I already sold all my legacy potion stash, I think one way to improve the restoration issue would be to have an additional type of consumable that's a direct copy of how you implemented these legacy potions.

That is, a lesser elixir - a lower effectiveness draught/instant heal at the same cooldown as the rest.

This will:
1. Increase the "credit sink," if that was your intention.
2. Fix the issue with people wasting money from extra potion slots before this patch
3. Give mages further options to deal with mana loss.

- The drop rate for soul fragments in random encounters was increased, but there is now a daily cap to how many you can get. The cap is, on average, 6 per day. (It is implemented as a linearly decaying counter, being decreased by 1 every 4 hours.)

You have to get 1 before you can get 6... Seriously, do they actually drop? I have none after about 10 RE. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif)
