i think i found two things

- the item shop doesn't display any of your potions, infusions, crystals, etc when you go to their respective tabs

- orbital friendship cannon seems to be doing a lot less damage:

Now:

You are Victorious!
Orbital Friendship Cannon crits Yukkuri 073 for 30247 void damage
Yukkuri 073 has been defeated.
Orbital Friendship Cannon crits Ruby Kurosawa for 40302 void damage
Ruby Kurosawa has been defeated.
Orbital Friendship Cannon hits Temp168 for 39026 void damage
Temp168 has been defeated.
You use Orbital Friendship Cannon.

Before:

21 5 Dododo has been defeated.
21 4 Orbital Friendship Cannon hits Dododo for 105896 void damage
21 3 Menjou Hare has been defeated.
21 2 Orbital Friendship Cannon hits Menjou Hare for 149511 void damage
21 1 You use Orbital Friendship Cannon.

both tests were done with monsters impaired (max level impair) and spirit stance only (no overwhelming odds, no heartseeker, no blessing, no anything else) at nightmare difficulty... notice that in the now i actually hit them for critical damage and in the before i didn't... is this intentional?

The token stock reading.

Ah. Should be back now, but I had to tweak the CSS slightly. It's not versioned on testlive, so you have to force-refresh (control or shift-F5 depending on browser) to make it display correctly.

I don't know if I've missed something but is anyone else unable to access random encounters?

Randoms wouldn't be directing you to testlive.

Should be fixed already.

Shouldn't have changed. Keep in mind that if you overkill, it will only show the actual HP change rather than what it really could have done.

The XHR response only has the log text from the last action, no historic logs are resent.

The response includes various html codes such as 'pane_effect', 'pane_quickbar', 'pane_vitala', 'table_skills' etc...

Adding a few string is easy, so I request it.

It will be very helpful (at least) to userscript writers.

also, i think it would be good to show the HP value, since estimating the damage you can take from something from a health bar is kinda difficult

- Vitals are now fully restored when you leave combat. The vitals are also no longer displayed out of battle, and the consumable usage except for stamina restoratives has been removed as it was no longer necessary.

Did you remember to remove the one-time "fully restore vitals" part of clearing Arena/RoB on higher difficulties? Don't want any redundant code piling up.

Random custom fonts aren't really supported. I only test it on Verdana 8pt, and supporting that is hard enough.

so that's the officially supported font, uh? good to know.

Hmm. Guess I don't expect people to do in-battle stamina recovery a lot, but I'll see if I can indicate that somehow.

especially GF grinders do that, afaik. someone more expert than me could give you more infos though.

ah, yes. guess that it's unneeded now.

The monster changes sound phenomenal. All of them... read em' twice. Every change there makes perfect sense.
The increase in tokens for RE sound phenomenal.
The changes to difficulties and max rounds sound phenomenal.
The very light touch to actual equipment (no nerfing) sounds especially phenomenal.

I have to say from what I read above... This update has exactly enough cowbell.

ok, i just noticed that the orbital friendship cannon seems to do very little damage because it doesn't show the full damage done, it shows the hit points taken from the monster... i.e. if the monster has 10550 hp then the cannon only shows 10550 damage

Spawned Monster C: MID=77730 (Cthun) LV=336 HP=41186
Spawned Monster B: MID=8527 (Kirisame Marisa) LV=336 HP=39804
Spawned Monster A: MID=76873 (Six-head Scylla) LV=336 HP=27852

then:

You counter Kirisame Marisa for 2239 points of void damage.

then:

Orbital Friendship Cannon hits Kirisame Marisa for 37565 void damage

initial (39804) - counter hit (2239) = 37565

the fact that we aren't bounded by skill chain anymore (more frenzied blows, yay!) and that "screw it, i'm going for lower prizes!" option on lottery seem nice too. though i'm not convinced by the fact of blood tokens being removed... what's the situation now, only four prizes?

as long as the monster is killed, it can even show 42 or 1337 damage (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) it's not like it was that useful of a data even before, i guess...

Where can I see my current credit amount in test server?

that's true, although you are still shown the full amount of damage for other attacks (like the physical ones, i don't know about mages) and it's always nice to see the big numbers (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

another thing i just saw, the hotkey for re-casting a spell (R) is not working, it says "Stop beating dead ponies"

The system will soon start penalizing generic/repetitive/facerolled monster names, so if you use those, change them to something better.

I'm assuming this refers mainly to numbered monsters (identical names ending in "001", "002", etc.) What exactly does this "penalizing" entail?

- Battle actions/screen updates are now (finally) done with XHR rather than POSTing the entire page. This should cut down on load flashing and various browser memory leak issues. While scripts have been available to emulate this behavior, the official method selectively transfers updated panes and new log entries, and therefore also reduces the amount of data transferred. (This is a first pass, and will be further improved in the future.)

I am super interesting in this section.

how much data will be saved ? on 0.84 it use about 7 KB per action (attack, defend, moving pages, and other actions) it really eat up my monthly data usage.

From what I see its ~4.2kb
Entire HTML elements are still being sent.

nvm it's same at test server and main server.

well, there's a fair chance it's an intended feature - probably because it was the simplest way to do a certain thing, because he wanted for damage to show only the useful amount or whatever. either way, consider that many people disable log completely, so i'm not sure you'll find a big support. personally, it leaves me completely indifferent.

i'm in for a 0.86 surprise! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

still, a 40% cut on datas sent or so. not bad.

Attacks should be showing their actual damage on the killing blow again. Also the order things are printed to the log should make more sense.

Yea, that's no longer a thing.

Seems to be working. Are you recasting on a monster you already killed?

I'm assuming this refers mainly to numbered monsters (identical names ending in "001", "002", etc.) What exactly does this "penalizing" entail?

Fewer or no encounters, and fewer or no gifts. I haven't fleshed it out yet.

when continue battle pop up, click quick bar button(buff or heal) makes go to next round with continue battle windows pop up.

Can't reproduce.

still, a 40% cut on datas sent or so. not bad.

If using JSON instead of pure html, it will be reduced to 1k or so.

i am recasting regen and ok just now i saw what is happening, when i press R i attack the same monster, not cast but attack

it also re-uses a potion or draught, basically it seems to repeat the previous action


ok and now my spirit is not being consumed per hit lol only 1 point is consumed when i stop spirit stance but i still get the full benefit

hmmm you might wanna check on the regen rate of magic as well, i'm regenerating it way too fast as if i didn't have the innate arcana activated (and i do, it's supposed to consume 1.23 per turn or something like that)

Next step, switch to websockets to minimize overhead.
