I wouldn't mind getting my EXP/Credit bonuses reset.

I was fine before 0.2.1, but there's no point now having 24% EXP boost if I can barely win my battles on 50% less EXP

2% credits was a mistake too. Every 100 credits I get a bonus 2?
Pass...

Uhm, Hi. I'm doing ok. Without any hard numbers to present, I seem to be winning more than losing. Sometimes I move the difficulty up to hard for my random encounters and then I don't win so much (go figure). Sometimes I move it down to easy to make the grindfest last a little bit longer so that it is more entertaining. Kinda sad my electrical was absorbed into an overall magical proficiency (I was getting it going pretty good). I guess it makes sense though (still going to focus on electrical though <grin>). Can't wait to get some sort of armor. And a stick. A nice heavy stick for thwacking. Oh, and I have Jack Shit for items and Jack left, but I'm ok with that too. =) Can't get past "Graduation" in the arena yet on normal. I haven't tried the arena on easy (not planning to). I have tried some of the lower arena levels on hard. Lost quite a few credits, but I knew what I was getting myself into and still enjoyed it. All in all, no real complaints I guess, except for fucking slimes. I really hate slimes. You'd think inferno would burn those suckers out pretty regular. =P
Thanks!

I leave the super-resistant normal monsters for after, taking care of the weaklings first so I can tend to Ghosts or Pandas or whatever, alone

One shot panda with fireball =P

I got MORE fucking negative karma than the power he has because of my amp?

What's funny is I recommended it.

And if I remembered right, I think that only karma training levels amp negative. I don't think the hath perks amp neg, but I'm not sure.

I'm almost tempted to pull the EXP/Credit + skills from the tree, as people tend to get gimped up when they to overboard with points in it. But I'm not making it super-easy so you can have 40 points in those.

And for general info, I win probably 2/3, more if I'm careful of my hourlies. And only have spent credits on 9 of those points.

Tenboro:
On the item menu under character, the item description area would revert back to a battle time description instead of the item menu description for me...not sure why.
Actually, looks like it usually returns to whatever it was when the page initially loaded. I highlighted an item before the page finished loading and it would never show the initial item menu description.

Hm well, that probably has something to do with the fact that I cheated when I wrote the item management thingie. It actually uses the battle system, so you're attacking your item slots. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

I'll see if I can reproduce it not taking the override.

I got all the exp and credit perks and I likes it that way! It was my choice and not only do I live with it I will continue to get them all and I still win 90% of the time. Pandering to the incompetent will mean there will never be a finished version of this so to Tenb I say this: Ignore anything regarding simple moaning about exp and loss so you can focus on the equipment most of us are patiently waiting for. Once that system is introduced and things are made even easier they should shut up by themselves. Win Win amirite (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I get most of my EXP/C bonus elsewhere, though I'm probably gonna slowly increase my ability ones once I can start winning battles on heroic and nightmare again.

Now I know how people felt during the last update, when magic users were fine but physical attack users were getting hosed.

Well, I just need to get in as many battles as I can while the good times roll. :-)

Speaking of EXP bonuses, does Adept Learner training still apply in HV? If so, how does it combine with the character ability bonus?

(Put another way, did I waste the last 4K credits I invested in it?)

You didn't waste anything: 1 ability point = 1 skill point.

I think you're confusing

Adept Learner Boosts your EXP bonus by 1%

with

Ability Boost Awards you an additional Ability Point

Yep, sorry. But I still don't think you wasted anything, since you can continue purchasing it in HV.

Maybe it's because I'm still below Lv. 20, but the battles seem to go just fine for me. Except when you get stuck with a Hamster and Manthra on round 1 of Grindfest and die because the Manthra takes 5 damage from your Spirit Attack.

Plus, I have all the Exp. & Credit boosts I can at this point.

I'm pretty even in terms of magic and physical, that I win more than 75% of my hourlies. I use magic when I need it and physical when I need it. the only downside is that all my attribute stats are lower overall because of the even distribution. Can't say that its a bad thing though.

As for exp earned, it is so variable for me, so I really don't know if adept learner has any effect for me. Some days my new day event gives me 95 and sometimes it gives me 150.

IIRC, the new day event is also tied to how active you've been on the forums in the past day.

All told, I'm doing all right. I think I need to boost my INT more, for a smaller chance of enemy resist, but I'm still winning on a semi-regular basis. Every so often I end up losing half my health in the first round, but I can take a loss.

Yessir, t2 aoe's ftw ^^

Can't wait for equipment btw (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I think it has less to do with incompetence and more to due with the shifting nature of the game. The strategy that is most effective changes with every alteration to the system, so people are naturally frustrated.
At one point in time it was okay to have points invested in experience and credit skills and still defeat the enemies, but it is becoming less doable now. However, I'm not going to say that there should be a complete reset everyone's AP, or even worse their attributes, every time a change is made, for Tenboro would never do anything else, but I wonder if it would not be best to allow a one-time chance for people to reset at the end of the beta.
