[X] My Assistant

just a quick question concerning selling equipment:

why is it that i can sell a staff for 750C but have to pay 4-6kC to get one of similar quality?

i dont mind having a lower sell price, but shouldnt they be in roughly the same league? "trading" equipment is impossible with current pricings.

We are all waiting for a fair trading system (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I got a friend hooked up on the game, would like to give him my old knife (worth 80 credit peanuts for me to sell) but he has just started and doesn't have the ~400credits to spend on it when it appears in the shop... it would be nice to have a "give items/equipment" option to players.

So you're saying you made the window look like this on purpose?

(IMG:[gannonman.com] http://gannonman.com/image/HV+weird+thing_104635644.jpg)

I was about to report it as a bug. That looks absolutely awful. I was just getting used to the flashy things and now this. If you're going to make it look like that, do we even need that window at all? It already says all that stuff in the battle log. Why don't you make the font in the log bigger and cooler looking and maybe in a different color when we win and just have it say You Are Victorious in the upper right side above the monsters? It'll save space and it won't look so annoying.


Or just put it back the way it was. Yikes.

@Tenseigamoon I actually don't mind that "popup" style notification. Though maybe the look of it could change to please the hardcore "text-only" fans.

It's ok gillian, something changed so tens disagrees. It'll pass :3

But in this case i sort of agree. It looks... weird in it's own right... Maybe decrease the transparency?

Or maybe you should just stop whining.

You won't see this, of course, since you seem to have me on your ignore list.

Unfortunately, I can see everything you post. Your problem is you just have nothing interesting to say.

And I was just being honest. The graphic really did look OK before. And for what it's worth, with the recent changes to the system, I can actually kick ass in HV now. I can't cast any magic attacks so I have to fight Warrior style but I'm winning at it much better now and it's pretty cool.

honestly the mobs probably have about the same evasion rate as the player
so as ten said you will probably have about a 75% hit rate before weapon accuracy is taken into account

i have an 85% base hit chance and a 10% evasion so this seems like a pretty accurate way to do things to me

You didn't read what I wrote. If they have the same evasion rate as us (~10%) I should still have a 94% hit rate, and I'm definitely missing a lot more than 6% of the time (~1/20 hits).

edit: and I agree with Tens, I don't much like the new popup window Scratch that, I really don't like the new popup window. Ugh.

@Tenb: You never commented on the procs of offhand weapons. Can you make them have a chance of working? It's not like offhands hit all that often anyway, so the chance of the effect working isn't all that high.

what is your current evasion rate

cause you should have one higher then 10% which means the monsters you are fighting should also have a higher evasion rate then 10%

my 10% evasion rate is at 50 lvls lower than you so yours should be higher

Not happy about seeing a pop up every round obtrusively breaking the flow of combat. If it has to pop up I'd move it back over to it's original spot over the monsters. I think it's just that it pops up every round in the center is throwing me off, I'd handle it better if it were off in it's original area.

Fuck, you're right, wasn't thinking. My evade is 19%. On that note, we don't actually know what mobs evade rate is do we? And even if it's the same as ours, I should still have a 91% hit chance, meaning 1/10 attacks miss, but I'm definitely missing more than that.

damn... it looks like exp from grindfest was cutted duwn at least by half and possibility of 2nd wind reduced too...
that decrease my exp gain at least by 4 times(

as i've noticed if your stat bild is flat(eg i rise all stats by the same value) your att.ch.-ev.ch. will always equial 75% so your-level-monsters usually should have at least 25% chance to evade if you don't use any weapon


edit: funny... after that post i've got 13 2ndwinds in a row...

Yea, forgot to mention the whole 10% thing was a place holder, since it seems about average in terms of where their evasion starts around. I'd say as a rule of thumb to determine an average (unless ten straight out tells us) is add 1% evasion per 10 levels. It might not be accurate, but it's better than a complete shoot in the dark.

something strage occurs... near an hour i was getting twice less exp then usual. but now ewerything returned to a normal state...

You get an EXP boost based on the number of posts you made in the last 24 hours. No one seems to know what the formula is, but the first few posts make quite a big difference.

O.o Well that's news to me. Since nobody seems to know the formula, care to enlighten us n00bs as to the general range of improvement? I mean, does it double with the first few post? Triple? How long does it seem to last?

yeah, thats something I think many people will find interesting, so spill the beans ten, or someone...

...Please?

It's been said in lots of places, so please don't spam up this thread with questions about it, since it has nothing to do with HV. If I remember correctly the increase is logarithmic, and I believe Sonic's calculator can tell you the specifics.

-- Scavenger: Increases the base loot drop chance by 1%. Fully trained gives a 50% bonus to loot drop chance.

By loot, does this apply for any item? Potions and scrolls as well?
