[X] My Assistant

I'm probably just going to wait for a few days before doing anymore. At the moment it's bs, I'm missing 5-6 times in a row with regular attacks (which almost guarantees death if I'm facing 2 or more mobs), my magic attack damage is severely reduced even with a 20point elemental proficiency boost, I'm being hit by cockatrices for twice the damage, and I'm running out of mana extremely fast due to the new shield/barrier (and with their high mana cost it's much more difficult to increase support prof). Magic is not the way to go right now :\ I'll wait until the data comes in and Tenb starts tweaking it.

edit: Oh, and grindfest is pointless now; I can't last more than 5-6 rounds on cake without using high level items.

edit:
Before shield: Green Slime hits you for 64 crushing damage.
After shield: Green Slime hits you for 64 crushing damage. Green Slime hits you for 71 crushing damage.

edit: The rate of skill use by mobs has to be decreased some more. In two turns I got hit by four skills and lost over half my hp, and that's with HP tanks maxed out. Following that, I got hit by 3 regular attacks and died, b/c they did huge amounts of damage.

It's great; I love this update! No complaints here, whatsoever! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Ditto. I get so fucked up now it's silly. And after I finally got my shit together in arena battles too.

Remember people - things are being tested and balanced a lot, so complaining... can be useful (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I'd support having two types of grindfest - old one with nerfed damage and experience and normal one with normal damage and equipment, since old one had its uses as a proficiency/loot generator, and I don't see any game balance reason it is out. In fact, it is needed for the new players, who need to generate those equipment drops. Game wise it shouldn't be even that hard to implement - the code for the old one is presumably saved, the new one is out... just add another option to the battle menu (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Call the old one, hmmm, I don't know, cakefest (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I will step back onto my "free market needed" soapbox, and point out that if we had an auction or other system for selling/buing stuff for decent prices, the trouble a lot of people are having with not having the right (or any) equipment for their character would mostly disappear, as people hoarding loot waiting for better prices would have no reason to do so anymore (and I am pretty sure the system has currenty generated enough equipment for everyone, but people are hoarding stuff they don't as selling in the pawn shop is for those desperately needing cash only... so we need to give a reason to hoarders to sell stuff... I'd happily trade my spare weapons for the armor pieces I am missing (I am currently running in Hverse buck naked, but in boots and a cap (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) - oh and there are wands?? haven't even heard of those before, I saw staffs in the shop, but never a wand (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif))...but now I can sell them for peanuts and the stuff shop has is A) not what I need and (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) too expensive (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)). And it's not just a hypothesis, quite a few people have agreed with me that those are the reasons they are hoarding stuff (see here and post there if you want a bazaar reform being prioritized). And no, people with few credits will still make good on that, since if price is to high, nobody will buy stuff, so with auction time short (like hath auctions ~1 day), in few days we should see realistic prices (some of which should be between shop buy and sell prices - in other words cheaper then the shop prices for buyers but still bringing more profit for sellers). So my recommendation is, surprise, surprise, bazaar improvements (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

@Tenboro, Sometimes I wish I could +K you. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Even better would be for him to make a donation, gotta save them cat girls (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I am pretty sure that can be done... just forgot how (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Somebody has the link for that, though - saw it before.

Haven't seen it so sorry if I'm reiterating or if its possible, I've only got a single kite...

Main-hand shields? I mean, I've done it many games and it's just downright awesome... if not just plain impractical. But I'm all about the silly and it would be awesome! AWESOME!

I always thought that the shield fighter is an interesting class, it would be nice to see that implemented in Hentaiverse. But such ideas probably belong in this thread.

All this clicking doing physical attacks is wearing out my mouse. I long for the days of yore when my magic spells actually did something magical.

Been fighting naked for the past few weeks, except for some cotton shoes I found, and a 2-handed sword I bought. There's no fun at all when you die in round 3 of cake grindfest. Building up experience, credits or loot through battles is a joke now for us poor folks.

*sigh*

I wish I rich... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)

I have not found a single piece of item while the thing was implemented. All the stuff I got now are BOUGHT. And I simply can't find any armour to save myself in, even when it was seeded. -o-

Even something like a shirt will help right now.

Before shield: Green Slime hits you for 64 crushing damage.
After shield: Green Slime hits you for 64 crushing damage. Green Slime hits you for 71 crushing damage.

shield = damage up for monsters (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

56 4 Manthra hits you for 349 slashing damage.
55 3 Manthra crits you for 551 slashing damage.

54 4 Shield procs the effect Shield on yourself.
54 3 You cast Shield.
54 2 You gain 0.03 points of supportive magic proficiency.

48 4 Manthra crits you for 447 slashing damage.
47 4 Manthra hits you for 285 slashing damage.

yeh, yeh, my profic is too low, i know 50 isn't enough, ect, ect

be nice, for melee types, if interference didn't get in the way of weaken/silence
i don't see a legendary run going well when you can't silence/weaken it because of interference



and what do ya know, i was right, 0 interference/burden was one of the main benefits of the ethereals
now if only they had negative interference/burden to suck up some from the armors >.>
having some magic based stats on them would be nice too

This was cool at round 30 but now is boring as hell: (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I hope there are some ethereal armors floating about somewhere so I can use depreciating again without wasting half of my MP.

Don't complain you cracker cheesepuff. If it's working well for you be happy. I need items to just get past round 6 on cake, so don't complain unless there's an actual problem. If it's too easy than increase the difficulty, that's why the option is there.

It's entertaining that you have almost as many HP as I do.

hmm and i have over 30 more hp then him (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Wait, you're only around 400 hp pan? I'm almost at 700 :X but then I guess you're magic focused.

Ummm...

Grindfest Cake:

Round 1: Zombie Cow, Peacock
Round 2: Mind Raper, Hamster, Blue Slime
Round 3: Manthra, Hamster, Peacock

wtf

edit: by round 12 I'd faced 2 more Mind Rapers and another Zombie Cow... this is supposed to be cake (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

Welcome to my luck pre-update (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) Oh, but on round two make the hamster an Apathetic Canuck.

21 2 You hit Cockatrice for 66 slashing damage.
21 1 You hit Scary Ghost for 80 slashing damage.

For this to work do I absolutely need to hit the monster below? I tried hitting the monster on top and it never happened.

Damn. What equipment do you have to get all those 0 damage hits and reach grindfest round 184 as a level 24? I'm guessing it's something you bought?

Don't complain you cracker.

There should be a word filter on that.

I'm naked and on occasion I'll get like 5-10 resists in a row, am I supposed to blame the mace I bought? I also have not gotten a single equipment drop since they were implemented. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
