It would be nice if you finally spent a minute to fix Random Encounter link to HTTPS for consistency.

@tenboro Gifts are now not limited to 6 max, what is the new max?

From what I'm seeing, it's 5. And it seems much rarer in achieving that max of 5.
This is from just a few days of observation though.

Edit: There's also the point that the majority aren't playing as much due to the temporary loss of scripts.
Hence.. not as many "flee from combats" happening, and triggering the gifts.

Should be linking to HTTPS everywhere now.

There is no cap on the "final" number of gifts, but the base factor is still limited to 3. With maxed gift factor you would have 3 * 2.6 = 7.8, so you could see up to 8 due to the random tie-breaker.

Yesterday, one of my monsters gave me 10 gifts.

The utility bars are better.
It's a good step to getting the player info to the way any sensible Non-Candyland system would have them. We've got the HP numbers back and that's good. The overcharge changes will take a while to get used to- or decide if they're unworkable... Clearly the numbers are off, or there's a misplaced decimal point.
We next need the "selection confirmed" highlight around the options in the skillbook in the combat menu. Turn numbers have come in handy a few times when trying to figure out "how long is this taking and how long will this take? Will I have enough turns left in the spell?" The "back to full strength" change after an encounter is over is very useful. There's less limits on going all-out, now.

Hmm. Yeah you're right, the tie-breaker isn't quite how it should be, it's multiplying the final number by 0.5-1.5 instead of adding +/- 0.5 as was intended. Wouldn't affect how many gifts you get on average, but it does make it more volatile, so I'll probably fix that.

if you're making changes, can I propose one?
change the pony riddle thing from a/b/c to 1/2/3

that should just be a minor edit? or allow for both?
I use the riddlemaster addon normally but it broke during the last update.

On chrome with https it gets really laggy, switching to http it goes away.

I don't know if it's caused by the new patch or the scripts I am now using, but all the monsters displayed now show the same level as I do. Is this happening to anyone else? Is it supposed to happen?

Monster levels are independent of scripts. One of the changes of this update is apparently that we now only battle monsters at the same level. This is most likely related to the monster health scaling which is now based more on level than difficulty.

Thanks. Just started noticing it. Good to know it is a new feature.

Nah. Too much on your plate.
I'd just let this little deflection slide until you forget about it you have time to handle little insignificant things like that. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cool2.gif)

I found an inventory cache bug. (dynjs_equip)

I salvaged a mag staff, then it got to be 'Untradeable'.
But, in the equipment shop, a hover-box says it is 'Tradeable'.
So I visited the equip shop in other pc and saw 'Untradeable'.

I think it is due to a lazy update of 'equip-USER.js' cache.

- Better wording for monster activation conditions.

Some of my monster names are like these:

CODE

Forgotten Clymene
Forgotten Coeus
Forgotten Crius
Forgotten Cronus
Forgotten Curetes

CODE

Ancient Ghoul
Ancient Hecate
Ancient Ifrit
Ancient Jinn
Ancient Kobal
Ancient Lucifer

Do names like these fall under that name penalty category? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

P.S. - Since I don't play anymore, I'm pretty damn satisfied with the Monster Lab changes. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

In x20 Grindfest the stamina is cost way a lot for people who like me can barely finish about 150 rounds. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Would this patch just encourage people playing grindfest in low difficulty ?

Same opinion.

I can finish 200+ rounds if I'm paying attention to HV, but if not, then it's -200.

I don't really enjoy having to be mindfull of when I have to flee(around turn n49 or n99) to save stamina, so couldn't the rule be updated to consume 1 stamina from the get go only on the first 50 or 100 rounds?

As it is, Grindfest became quite punishable to people who don't go all the way to the end.

Just using that rule for the 50~100 initial rounds already gets rid of the exploitation to get full health/mana/spirit, instead of needing the whole grindfest having to bear such restrictions.

In truth, I'd like the stamina consumption rule to be completely eliminated, as I still have the opinion of my previous post, that's it's an interesting and pratical feature to have, but it's not worth having such restrictions placed on playmodes that grinders mostly play due to an exploit that isn't even that much pratical other than when grinding proficiencies.

I really don't understand what are you talking about, so I'll just explain the way I understand this new grindfest and you can correct me if it's not what you are talking about (or if I misunderstood the notes):

- You start grindfest: lose 1 stamina;
- You beat the 50 initial rounds: you don't lose any stamina, essentially making you lose the same stamina as before;
- You keep going deeper: you lose the stamina you used to lose before.

So I see no penalty to run grindfest the way you are used to, unless you do less than 50 rounds.

(sorry if I made any English mistakes)

- Starting a Grindfest now costs 1 point of stamina, equivalent to 50 rounds.

Is this means now it will cost 21 stamina for a complete grindfest run? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/mellow.gif)

Welp.

I saw a request on the initial pages to change the rule to work only for the first 50 rounds, so I thout it took 1 stamina every 50 rounds. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

If it's like this, then no issues after all.
