Nice inactive account images there, spooky.

Nice update, many thanks !

One question : i don't mind the captcha (i don't do that many grindfest), but i have it in every instance, is that normal ?
One comment : it seems that if the captcha ask to enter for example "robert embroil", something like "arobert embroil" or "robertu embroil" also works.

You get it every time you start a grindfest when a certain 'trigger level' has gone past a certain point. If it never cools down back below that level, you might very well have to do it every time.

Well, it's the reCAPTCHA project.. the first word isn't actually known. The second word is a known control word while the first word is taken from a list of unparseable words encountered while digitizing books and stuff. You can read about it [recaptcha.net] here.

Ah yes, the classic request to un-do something you just did. Always successful. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

yeah i know always works dont it... but it works just as well as not saying anything lol

Something entirely unrelated to this release: Damage type mitigations in equipment popups should be displayed with a percentage sign. Also elemental damage bonuses from staffs, and there may be others I've missed.

Yeah they should, but there's not enough room. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Are you using firefox with a cookie blocker? HV uses a different cookie now. I had this problem and had to
turn off my cookie blocker to log in the first time.

That was it, thanks. I had to add "hentaiverse.org" to my whitelist.

Boggyb disagrees. He wants to be able to set them up in his 9th quickbar slot. For the icons, just use the effect of it and do the same thing you do with the icon of spells cast by scrolls.

After playing a while, I think we need something more like this. But instead of taking up a QC slot, give it its own little box somewhere that we can click on and is hotkeyed. Make it more visible and easily accessed. And instead of going in the Items page, just shove it in that little box and leave our inventory alone. Like in Super Mario Bros, where you could save a powerup and hit a button to make it come down.

Nice inactive account images there, spooky.

whatchoo talkin' about Willis? Everything works just fine, nor is that pb account inactive. All images load up just fine when viewing that post from another computer with no cache of the forums. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

Well, a quick cast icon for that powerup gem wouldn't be a bad thing, but I'd settle for a change in drop color already so at least it'd be more noticeable when one drops.

For a quick fix to the low visibility of powerup gem drops, you could try the new HV STAT mod. It colorizes your battle log for all kinds of things, including making gem drops bold purple.

I've been thinking about it, and really, it doesn't make much sense to have the spike shield gems. There's no strategy you can use them for, since your chance of finding and keeping the necessary mitigation shield for a specific boss/legendary fight etc. is extremely small, and their counter-attack thing does no noticeable damage. I think they should be replaced by shield, barrier, haste and shadow veil gems - each acting as a shortened version of their respective scroll. Just my thoughts.

I disagree, getting random power-ups to increase your resistance to one element is not bad; simply because it does not hurt you. And so what if the enemy only takes 8 points of damage, its extra from what we had. Also, allowing gems to activate shield/barrier/hast/shadow veil would be BAD for those using Innate Arcana. Right now, I can have ALL those active in my Innate list which would make all those gems useless for me.

Well he did say shorter versions of the scrolls which stack with the casted version so its probably better then the semi-useless elemental spikes.

A Toddleguro attack that is going to do 1000 elec damage to me.
My cast-able version of barrier right now would block 77.2 damage, I'll round it to 78. (Because I SERIOUSLY doubt a powerup would give me a barrier with 250% prof)
Shock Gem would give me Electric Spikes that would block 250 damage from this attack while inflicting 20-50 points of damage to the other mobs who are whaling on me.
So...do I want the 922 damage or the 750 damage from that attack. Decisions, Decisions.

That assumes you get the right gem at the right time and the mind raper casts in those 19 turns its up, which is unlikely to happen. I'd rather have something that is more consistently useful, then something very situationally useful.

You are asking for something that most likely is not supposed to be giving you that much of an advantage when it does drop to now give you a better advantage. And you keep forgetting that the spike shield may not help you much, but it does not hurt you.

Neither, you want absorb to catch crits and make this all a moot point (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Not quite. When you use a gem, it's supposedly takes 0 action time (which seems to be slightly bugged), but it still uses up a turn. That means that any supportive spells you've got active on yourself just lost one turn of usefulness. That's not meaningful if you're using Innate Arcana, but not everyone is swimming in Hath.

even with innate arcana your wasting mana, albeit a small amount

Works now, yes. But it didn't before. That's all moot now, though. Moving on and what not.

GREAT UPDATE TENDOLLAR!!1! "LOL" "XD" "Other various and unnecessary emoticons."
