Minor update to fix and improve some stuff.

Battle Stuff

- Tweaked the base behavior of Confuse as follows:
-- Instead of having a 50% chance of hitting you and 50% chance of hitting a random monster, it now has equal chance to hit any valid target on the battlefield (including the player and itself).
-- Each additional ability point put into Confuse will both increase duration by 25% and decrease the chance of the monster hitting itself by 25%

- Sleep and Confuse now have a base 90% chance to break the spell when the target takes damage. Each additional ability point strengthens the spell and reduces this chance by 10%, to a maximum of 50%.

- Increased the duration and reduced the MP cost of Silence

- Changed the font on the battle log to something that works in more browsers

- Fixed an off-by-one bug in calculating duration boosts from having more than one AP in a spell (instead of increasing duration by 0-100% it would increase it by 25-125%).

- Increased base attack/magic hit chance by 5% for both monsters and players

- Fixed a bug when training Atonement that made the forum update fail, causing it to not apply until the next scheduled update. (Thanks Sonic)

Ahh that explains why i just almost got my ass kicked.

With shield and weaken i still took ~60 damage per turn, and i find that a bit too much really.

But yeah, overall good i'm sure :3

I take back what i said, these changes are magnificent (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

hit hit hit hit hit hit hit
heh this changes are pretty fun XD

Thanks for the battle log fix. Now I can base my attack decisions on monster info in addition to my experience with them.

Hooray, increased magic and attack hit%.

Woohoo update!

Did weaken get altered. Before weaken would stay in effect for 15-16 turns for me. Now it's only in effect for 11-12 turns.

EDIT:

Nevermind - figured out why:

- Fixed an off-by-one bug in calculating duration boosts from having more than one AP in a spell (instead of increasing duration by 0-100% it would increase it by 25-125%).

Didn't understand what that meant when I first read it. I was like whatever. After reading it carefully, it makes more sense now.

Ok so the most basic arena challenges have become more or less impossible.

and no, i can't try on a lower difficulty because that removes them from the list.

with this dex will become less important >< and endurance will be even more useful

Depends on the approach, I guess. I only use Shield and Shadow Veil in the first rounds of battle, so I don't die while I Weaken all monsters, and then I kill them one by one keeping them weakened. That let me beat challenge 8 today with no perceived increased difficulty.

Ouch, last fight left me with 86/816 HP, 11/173 MP, 122/122 SP.

I blame my results on order of killing:

38 5 You gain 44 Credits!
38 4 You gain 624.04 EXP!
38 3 You are Victorious!
38 2 Mutant Peacock has been defeated.
31 2 Green Slime has been defeated.
24 2 Blue Hedgehog has been defeated.

0 2 Spawned Monster A: MID=1 (Green Slime) LV=54 HP=495 MP=126 SP=27 NA=94 Type=hostile

Only ten dodges from me... eh oh well, BRING IT MONKEHS. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

i'm going to miss those 2 turns of regen

with this dex will become less important >< and endurance will be even more useful

I would say that it makes DEX and AGI more important, since increasing evade is more useful when the base hit % is higher.

A somewhat confusing statement. Your "most basic" seems to equal my "more difficult"...

Ouch. Arena challenges were already difficult with the attrition particularly MP. Reducing their duration makes it painful.

Thanks for the fixes Tenboro (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)


The arena has indeed gotten much tougher, expecially on normal (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) I'm still udderly failing against the Zombie Cow
Gotta have those potions


Edit: OH! Tenboro, the battle log is great to be able to read, Thanks again

Now this one is much more useful than the weak Mind Raper.

@Tenboro: I didn't get any sort of death message when the Hedgehog finally killed the Cockatrice for me, nothing like "has been defeated", no line on this at all - is this normal? No negative sideeffects?

Great update, the hit/miss ratio seems to be better balanced now. The monsters can hit me more often, but I can hit them just the same. (IMG:[www.starfleetplatoon.com] http://www.starfleetplatoon.com/users/sonic/images/smileys/alive_smilies_smf/evil.gif)
