Not that it affects the final chance of the spell landing, but yes.

I know. But I'm trying to change the battle buddy a little to take resists into account. And calculating your resist chance isn't just resist/spellAttempts if there was no chance of a resist happening due to interference. Just trying to do some basic math that I sadly haven't had to do for a while.

Interference chance = interferences/spellAttempts
Resist chance = resists/(spellAttempts-interferences)

+1 to that question. I bought chainsaw parts so I could have an effing chainsaw, not so I could give them as an offering to the gods.
Other than that concern, jolly good show old chap. I'm glad you added the spacebar to return to arena screen...

I've been considering ways of actually making them into something cool without being way over the top OP, and while I have some ideas I haven't fleshed out anything yet. Because of that, Snowflake is actually keeping a tally on all the items you have handed in, and if any set rewards are added in the future she'll award them retroactively.

Ok, just to make things almost unnecessarily clear, if I donate my chainsaw pieces to the Goddess at the Shrine, if a chainsaw eventually is added as a piece of assemble-able equipment, I will get the pieces back? (or at least get credit for having them?)

Reposting my question. I guess I'm wondering what you mean by "set rewards". As in if you once had a shark mounted laser but you sacrificed it to Snowflake then you find a shark, you would end up with a shark with a laser mounted on its head even if you no longer have the laser?

Sentient Chainsaw familiar would be tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiits.

I'm reading that as a serious statement. Thank you. I know I'm great.

Yeah, that's really original. People haven't done that a million times and thought that they were smart.

Complaining about credits... The loss of your pathetic bonuses does not phase me. I bet I've spent more credits buying Chainsaw parts than you have ever earned.

Like I care about how many credits you have. It doesn't matter if you have spent more credits than I've earned, that;s beside the point.

If you are getting mobs of 8 or 9, then you are getting really far. I can only do that on Cake... Oh, and get a faster internet connection instead of complaining.

As I've said before, I only get mobs of 8 or 9 on cake. Get a faster connection? You're so blatantly ignorant of much that would cost. It would cost me a minimum of $200 a month to do that, and that would be for a 1 mb line. You must be living in America or a nice, comfortable first world country for you to actually be saying that,

Oh, I think very deeply into everything. I've been accused many times of looking TOO deep into things. Your problem is that you assume I care about anything you can ever say. I don't.

Just because people have accused you of thinking too deeply into things, doesn't mean anything to me. I didn't assume you'd care about anything I said, you were the one that first replied to me for some stupid reason. I don't care what you have to say, I was asking Tenboro. Try tone down your ego.

You have not gotten nearly far enough to be able to say it is too hard. Arenas with 12 rounds and waves of minibosses are hard. Everything else is tasty as Cake. Even when you have it on Normal difficulty.

I know I haven't gotten far. That's irrelevant. I've been saying that the monsters on normal are too hard overall, whether you're playing an arena or grinding. I'm complaining mainly because I can't gain levels without paying more money than I earn to heal myself on normal.

Please stop replying to my messages, since you're not Tenboro. I don't really care what you think or say. It was nice arguing with you, I hope I pissed you off.

I'm not sure if this has been asked, but when damage is calculated, what comes first: mitigation or absortion?

Just now noticed that the equipment pop-up gets cut-off if its at the top of the list. The getting cut at the bottom got fixed, maybe this time we'll stop having problems with it.

This just happened to me :

2 2 You parry the attack from Scary Ghost.

I'm useing an axe; it dosen't have parry. I checked my stats on the equip screen too, and my parry rating is 0%.
This isn't as funny as monsters dodging in their sleep, but I thought I'd share.

1h + shield?

if you had overwhelming stikes active i think it gives a +10% parry bonus.

I'm complaining mainly because I can't gain levels without paying more money than I earn to heal myself on normal.

Healing is free. The only thing that costs is if you want to be healed instantly.
More to the point, if you could consistently make enough money to cover the healer's bill, then everybody would be able to play indefinitely and we would all be level 100+ within a week.

not ta ruin the idea er anythin, but we can play indefinitely, on cake at least. true, 50% exp gain, but still, you don't even need to heal, much less cover the healing costs.

Could be....
I was thinking it added 10% to what you already had. (10% of 0 = 0)
I think you must be right and it just gives you 10%. (0% turns into 10%)

I can do this. I thought everyone could. I can remember doing it back when I had worse equipment too.
It costs me 300-400 to heal my hp and mp, and I can make that on normal easily. I don't though because
I wouldn't make any credits. I just forked over 50,000 for an aura slot. OUCH! MY WALLET!!

This definitely doesn't apply to everybody. Granted, I could only name two or three other people if I had to.
If you're only after credits, why the heck don't you just power up to Ascended? You'll make a helluva lot more credits per battle.

Wait, if you're not making credits, then you can't do what I described. If you clear anything over the healer cost, you can farm an infinite amount of credits in one sitting.

much as I'd love to instantly jump to lvl 100, even grindan 8 hours a day would only get me maybe 2 levels, 3 with arenas.

D:


also i think toro is talking about breaking even on normal. so he can farm exp and items, just wont make any credits on the side.

If you really want cheaper heal, just go to cake grind with a bunch of crude potions and use them all on round 1.

Another Cheap heal is grinding till death, wait 5min and then do one of the first few arenas on cake. Full free heal little work, just make sure you have enough to beat the 1-5 easy mobs you need to for the arena.

Hey Tenb, why didn't I get a mysterious box? I've been wondering about it for a while now.

Is it because I didn't compain about the ability boost loss thing? They seemed to appear around then, I was ripped off there too but didn't bother complaining because everyone else was.

Hmm. What's the deal o_0?

Just sell 2 Infusion of Whatever (200 C each) and your healing bill is paid. An Infusion seems to drop every 12-15 cakefest rounds.

infusion is the best way to make C in the very begginin of hv

The mysterious boxes were given to everyone who "lost" a significant amount of credits on the curve change. I don't recall exactly, but I believe I put the limit at >10 and <100 levels of training.

Ahh... that would explain a lot. 50 Levels of ability points at the change = lots of lost credits, since it's quite high and still before the curve starts becoming worse. Well, thank you for the compensation, even if I haven't used it yet ^^

@Tenb: On an unrelated note, what do you think of a supportive ability that increases physical/magical accuracy? I know we have focus already... but I still like the idea.

Also, does overwhelming strikes increase the power of spirit attacks?

Also, do you think you could add the details to the scroll popups? Like for scroll of shielding, instead of just saying procs the shield effect, say reduces all physical damage by 25%?

And finally, one more request: make ctrl-f not active focus during a battle pretty pretty please!!!
