Huh....So....Rapiers are actually good? Looking at stats they felt....underwhelming compared to other weapons, which was disappointing since rapiers are my favorite type of sword.

Rapiers are good because they proc Penetracted Armor which greatly increase damage.

My 2 hander definitely feels underwhelming if i try a higher difficulty am I missing something? Is there something that makes 2h good? Or is it doomed to become useless as i progress?

2h really isn't very good in the current patch.

The deal with the rapier is that it looks like it's fighting half the enemies at once when it gets going. And it can stun on top of Penetrate, which causes monster damage suppression which improves survival.

After about level 150+, I would get Superior Rapiers of Slaughter and upgrade them 5x. It's relatively cheap at that point, despite initial costs, because you can salvage the old rapier after and get most of your materials back.

When you start out low level, you're expecting to use crude/average gear and fight at normal difficulty. This is enough to level up at a steady pace.

As you level higher and higher, the exp required increases more and more. In order to level at a steady pace you're expected to raise the difficulty. In order to fight monsters at the raised difficulties you are expected to attain higher quality gear.

Rapiers are good as long as the monster has physical mitigation since rapier's penetrated armor removes the physical mitigation one third at a time (iirc)

One-Handed is recommended because the shield gives you very high survivability and stuns monsters when you counter (increasing survivability further). This increased survival capability is the reason why most thread frequenters will suggest One-Handed for starting players. The boosted survival capabilities are often enough for a low level player to play on much higher difficulties than normal, thus speeding their EXP/level gains)

Two-Handed while hailed as one of the higher damage melee styles lacks the survivability to play at high difficulties when you are low level. Clearing low difficulties should prove no problem.

I think 2h works well on low difficulties before you start encountering the huge PL increase starting around level 150, but after that, 1h is highly recommended to help you survive the high incoming damage.

I can only speak for myself, but playing on hell difficulty using light armor and 2h became unfruitful after level 100ish, because hell difficulty was enough to bring out enough hard attackers that you could be killed quickly. I know people say 150 or so, but I think the transition is actually earlier.

That said, nightmare from 100 to 150 leveled me plenty fast at the time.

I added a 1h + heavy persona when Slobber suggested it, around 150 iirc, and even with completely mediocre weapons and armor, could handle hell pretty much from the start.

Quoted for truth.

It was the same for me. Started out with 2h + leather armor, swapped to 1h + shield + heavy armor at around level 150. It really makes a world of difference. Sure, 2h might deal more damage and clear rounds quicker than 1h on lower difficulties, but once you start playing on Hell and higher, you really do need a shield.

But that's only part of it. The real way to gain levels quickly is by toplisting. (we're probably going to have our fastest to-500 player shortly, and he's on that path simply because he understands toplisting. that said, if anyone wants to toplist, make sure to contribute productively...)

... without even considering that in case you exploit the system just for the bonus in HV, there's the fair chance you will get PMed by some mod. better to see such bonuses as a side reward for the help and time you daily loan to the community, rather than the opposite way. just saying.

Who will be the fastest rabbit?

Is there a difference in stamina cost per round between Great (+100%) bonus stamina and normal? I swear I read somewhere running in great costs twice the amount of stamina per round for double the exp, if not I've missed out on a great deal of exp :<
nvm I'm blind, it says so on the wiki.

It's true that pure motivations are better, but some toplists are nearly impossible to exploit in such a way that the site is not better off as a result. For H@H, uploading, cleanup, and torrent creation/seeding, I think no matter what, if someone gains points, they're helping the site. (yeah, there are a few rules on that front, but they're not hard at all to figure out)

Rating & Reviewing is borderline. Rating is useless, of course, some upvoted comments are not useful, but many of them are. It's OK, even if sometimes reddit-esque - or, at least, not negative in any way IMO.

Tagging is the worst because there's no incentive for accuracy as long as you aren't so inaccurate that one of our few checkers calls you out on it and you get banned. Don't be like unsafebiscuit.

In short, even if someone's intentions are less than pure, I think toplisting in anything other than tagging is OK to encourage. Doing it right and gaining points requires some knowledge, experience, and time, and in exchange, those who volunteer their work to help the site get some imaginary internet points in return. For the site, it's a good tradeoff (and we're lucky to have as many contributors as we do).

https://ehwiki.org/wiki/Stamina

In short:

Play at 80+ for most experience per time spent playing
Play at 79- for most income per stamina (XP earned is identical, but it takes more time and you earned more credits in the meantime)

i know. it's just that i have to remember it (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

if you allow me, individuals being awarded a red (just saying) award simply because at a certain point you started to comment the impossible is... uh... well, it comments by itself, i guess.

oh, someone may wonder if i'm referring to you, since you have a red yourself. well, i'm not, of course.

i don't know if you can access a certain section of the forum (now that i think about it, i never saw you there), but if you cannot i assure you that even if checkers aren't that many, they discuss quite a lot and on quite a lot of things. in short, it's not like they are ghosts (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

For the site, it's a good tradeoff (and we're lucky to have as many contributors as we do).

of course. i'd reason the same way. afterall, rewards are there for that reason as well - what would be the point to offer HV EXP boost to an uploader toplister otherwise? if you ask me, it's clearly been made to attract all the possible audience to coontribute to the gallery system. but it's not me the one who made the rules - and rules say that deliberately exploiting toplists for such purposes (namely, just to earn an award at the end of the year) isn't fair towards users who genuinely want to do something useful. therefore, when i read something like this i think this difference should be understood.

past this, actual reasons aren't my concern, but since some gallery mods/tag mods with a bit of hv experience try to tell users something about our section, i feel like doing something for them in return, with the very little i can (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

At what point should I start collecting mage gear? Right now I'm 1h and trying to collect power armor of slaughter pieces. Would it be better to just skip that and start on mage? Do you guys still use your 1h load out for anything or did it start collecting dust once you got mage load out completed?

Oh, well that's good to hear. I'm pretty active in IRC where there's a lot of vig and tag fixing/shaming but the impression I'd been getting from them, from toplisters, and from tags seen on galleries was that it's a hard battle. (or at least had been. good thing a bunch got promoted recently)

(It was mentioned vetoers would get access to that place, but I guess that got missed what with everything else going on at the time)

It's completely up to you. If you want to go full mage by 350 or so, I wouldn't bother spending more than the minimum necessary to keep your melee gear up to snuff before then.

Effective maging requires a lot of initial investment, mostly on perks, staff, and basic forging. So if you're thinking of switching sometime, you can't start saving up too early.

Hella useful.

Remember kids, if you have to choose between going into the arena fight with all the legendaries without a void weapon, or killing yourself, ALWAYS choose killing yourself !

Toplists...well the bonus for most Toplist kicks in after a year as far as I can see, so if someone wants to use that for power leveling, they are in the the long game anyway (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Unless I misread some information.

And as someone who wants to dedicate his bandwidth to this site I must say it is hard to compete on the Tracker Toplist, not to mention HatH, enough for it to matter. Top50 of the year is a hard spot to aim for. So "exploiting" that for HV Bonuses seems to be so much work.

And at least for those two I agree with Super: Even if the intentions are HV related, Bandwidth can only help (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

actually, vast majority of threads are about that. if there's something to discuss, sooner or later is brought up, worry not (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

(It was mentioned vetoers would get access to that place, but I guess that got missed what with everything else going on at the time)

cross-checking with vip list, i guess that who can are checkers. all groupers are also checkers, so they are included. as for vetoers, well - that's a hella lot more people. at a first glimpse, i'd say more than the currently allowed people combined. without absolutely touching the importance of your work, probably it needs to be discussed a bit more.
as many other things, this is only a speculation of mine though. you may want to ask to someone more qualified than me, if you want quick answers. most i can do for you is to quote you and bring up the topic (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

Gallery comment:

color cover by... uh, it's him, right? and the first color chapter with the busty braid girl seems nice too. guess i'll have to look for a translation.
as for the comment, i always find an index useful, especially for long galleries. at times i add something similar myself, when i spot a big CG set or a set with a bunch of variations: https://e-hentai.org/g/1046272/5d0f95453a/
sometimes i may even reach the character threshold, but i don't deliberately aim to that.

i was mostly referring to users who look at, saying, a doujin of black dog with sailor jupiter being assaulted by men who try to disguise their urges in an effort to repel demons (pretty much a costant in his works, so it's almost a due if you read a few of them (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) ) and write: "thank you for this wonderful doujin of black dog with sailor jupiter being assaulted by men who try to disguise their urges in an effort to repel demons".
it was very spread in the old gallery system, iirc.

maso section is on the corridor, second right door. if you see the bathroom, then you went too far. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

jokes apart, shit happens. just cure and start another arena.

Toplists...well the bonus for most Toplist kicks in after a year as far as I can see, so if someone wants to use that for power leveling, they are in the the long game anyway (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

some bonuses are even on daily base.

heh, i know, i know. i uploaded a few galleries (half a dozen or even less, but it's hard even to find some unreleased yet interesting work) and even threw in a torrent into them but, uh... i still wonder where i wanted to go with my crappy 15 kB/s upload (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

in the training reminder script, it show like this
var audio = new Audio('http://www.freesound.org/data/previews/234/234524_4019029-lq.mp3')

i don't know if it can load resources from HD, but if that's the case i think that downloading the file and modifying what's inside the brackets to make it point to your local address (for example: C:\documents\audio\file_audio.mo3). remember the apexes and try to make so the address doesn't have spaces inside.

if it doesn't work, well... it was worth a try (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

If the script is loaded via Greasemonkey or Tampermonkey you cand use [wiki.greasespot.net] GM_getResourceURL

Add this line to the script header (between the // ==UserScript== and // ==/UserScript== lines)

CODE

// @resource    alertTone http://www.freesound.org/data/previews/234/234524_4019029-lq.mp3

And modify the line you quoted to look like

CODE

var audio = new Audio(GM_getResourceURL('alertTone').replace(/^data:application;/, 'data:audio/mpeg;'))

The ".replace(/^data:application;/, 'data:audio/mpeg;')" is needed because a Tampermonkey bug.

My upload is a slot better than 15kb/s, but try to find something that has no torrent yet. The new ones are picked off very fast, as of some people see them earlier (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Which bonuses are daily? I thought only the GP and gallery toplists bonus.
