QUOTE(Scremaz @ Jan 31 2016, 04:16)  wi-fi speed is 150 Mbit (just checked) and strength of signal is almost maximum - between my laptop and the router there are either 6~7 meters of air or one wall - when my connection has a 7 Mbit speed. i still can't understand where's the problem, let's put that latency will be raised to 50% and the wifi speed halved, it still is 10x ADSL speed. am i wrong? (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) Using a wired connection reduces the latency from your pc to router to <1ms. This should be around ±5ms. You can alternatively try using 5GHz wifi routers if there are a lot of interference (other wifis) in your area. With 2.4GHz I get ±6ms with random latency spikes. This was tested in an area with like 12 other wifi ssids detected if you were to scan them. With 5GHz I get <2ms constantly. Less packet losses too, thanks to the reduced interference.

QUOTE(FabulousCupcake @ Jan 31 2016, 11:00)  You can run h@h on cheaper vps servers at <4$ per month too. I'm running h@h on my spare server with 20G cache limit allocated. 27MB/s up, 1G mem, ±7k quality. It has reached 3.3h/day and hasn't gone up for a week (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif) Not sure what stops it. As mentioned by simrock, you want high storage limit, unmetered bandwidth ( though, if you do the math and observe the h@h network utilization, ±2TB seems enough-ish for low end vpses ), and high inbound connection speed. High memory limit and dedicated cpu helps, but without the previously mentioned properties, they are nothing. Also, when searching for a vps you will see the type of the virtualization of the server. Three of the most common ones are OpenVZ, KVM, and Xen. tl;dr OpenVZ can be oversold. (resulting in lower cpu and network speed) Xen and KVM can't be oversold. 20G cache and 3.3h/day seems normal. If you want more hath/day you will need to have more static range and thus more hits per minute. Max 3072 static range thats about 500G of cache.

Ok few days ago i was lvl 89/90 when i came to this topic and asked if a full mage needs to put any points in STR/DEX/AGI.
Almost everyone told me that mages are only good about lvl 300+ or 200+ so i should balance all my stats.
now i'm lvl105 i got almost 100points in all the atributes(int is 110 wis 110 and str 97), and using nitten fight style, it takes me 2to4 times longer to do the same round as i took with a mage(fire/ice).
So by this, should i remove the points on those atributes since as per what i'm seeing mages look alot better(grindfest i can go to around round 40-50 em 20-30min while with nitten i go to round20 in the same time), or remove only the STR since AGI/DEX give me def stats?
BTW all my set for the nitten style looks better in lvl/dmg/def than the mages but still laks in dmg to go faster
Physical atack with nitten 707
Magic Atack as mage 454(still do tons more dmg since i'm casting skills all the time) All the abilitys are configured for both playstyles on testing

niten is also only recommended for level 300+ (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) and if you don't have the proficiency of course maging would be better. Personally, I think at your level almost every playstyle should be able to work unless you wants to play on Nintendo+ dificulty, hence I think if you already put your mind thinking that mage is good for you, then telling you to stop maging at this point would be useless. Come back when you're at 150-250, when monsters start hitting so hard that cloth and phase won't be enough to stay alive, monsters started to resist your spell everytime, your T1-T2 spells took too long to kill the monsters and T3 cost so much that even chugging mana potions doesn't cover it

Mage gear is can be cheaper than 1H + Power Slaughter at the moment, so its not a terrible idea. Forging mage gear is still stupid expensive.

So I'm coming up quickly on level 300, and have a few questions -
1) Does the Dovahkin title come with any stat boosts like Godslayer does? Does it need to be selected to use Fus Roh Dah?
2) I'm on Exquisite-tier 1h+shield + Power with mixed suffixes. How much should I expect to pay for Magnificent-tier equipment on the WTS forum? I skimmed a bit but the availability was too scarce for me to get a good read. I understand that this is a popular fighting style.
3) Is there a newbie guide for the mage playstyle floating around anywhere? Saw the advice page on the wiki but still unsure how battles actually play out. I'm curious because it supposedly it smashes through arenas, but I'm unsure of how safe it is.

1) no bonus apart FRD. and you have to select it to use the skill. basically you have to choose between +10% damage/+3% evade and FRD, which only useful side is mass stun (but quite low damage, iirc) 3) wait until lv310 for 0-cooldown Imperil. then, choose an element and stick with it. afaik you should go Imperil + T3 spell + T2 spell + T1 spell as much as needed

It depends what level of equipment you're willing to buy, and whether you need Slaughter or if any Power is OK. (Slaughter is a lot better, but a lot more expensive.)

Below where the amount of credits I've got is listed, there is a message saying "armor damage"; is that a warning telling me to repair my equipment or something?

If it's red, that means at least one of your equips is below 50% condition, which means its stats are degraded, and you should repair it or switch it with a different piece. If it's yellow, feel free to ignore it (it means at least one equip is below 60% but above 50%, which has no effect).

Does anybody know how much Manehattan Project boosts OFC? I'm powering up profs for one hand and despite the slow nature I'm liking the fact that I can handle pfudor quite well. The plus of course is the fact that overcharge goes up so quickly. I experimented with FRD and naturally I think it's not worth it (as have been pointed out by the experts). But it made me look a bit into the future and think, is Manehattan Project worth it?

I was already dreading how long that arena would take to do on high difficulty, so I'll be skipping Dovahkin if that's the case.

Should've specified that, yes, full Slaughter is ideal. I have Exquisite-tier Slaughter gear that are in soulfuse range that I picked up off the Bazaar. That'll be a fallback, but some of the gear is 2PAB. Still wondering about if Magnificent-tier is that much of a difference. --- I also just realized I'd have to find an efficient way to grind Staff, Cloth, and Elemental/Divine/Forbidden proficiencies. Any other mage tips in general?

It's a complete waste, since with a decently high level and some forging you'll be killing 95% of monsters anyway.

Power Slaughter at level 284 or less will either be extraordinarily expensive or very low quality (Exq). You'll have serious trouble if that's what you're looking for. If you can get Legendary Power with any suffix, it'll probably be better and cheaper than your alternatives. Probably. Cloth prof is easy. Get hit by monsters a bunch of times and your prof will rise close to your level in very little time. Magic prof isn't too hard. Use magic on a frequent basis and your prof will rise close to your level. Staff prof is very annoying because no one uses staff attack, so there's no natural prof gain. Play in a Crude IW without offensive gear and use hoverplay. It'll take ages, but you won't have to pay any attention at all. This post has been edited by Superlatanium: Feb 1 2016, 01:38

I'm struggling to do item comparison with oohmrparis script. It just says it's "Loading.." indefinitely. I've tried the calculation method but if I'm honest I don't really get it. For example this kite shield: http://hentaiverse.org/pages/showequip.php...;key=3c037ac003All I'm trying to do with the equipment range page is figure out the best possible block for this item. And I keep getting either too low or too high of a block. AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH As I was writing this I think I figured out my mistake. I shouldve added the base stat at the end of the scaled stat. Crisis averted... Still can't get the script to work though. Edit: Got an excel file that would help me quickly figure this out, I just have to change the level and quality of the item: [ prntscr.com] http://prntscr.com/9xgduhThis post has been edited by safmy: Feb 1 2016, 03:58
