[X] My Assistant

You only got 12 out of 23 across 12 riddles, so you may not have noticed that there can be several answers.

I've noticed. The last riddle I solved had x2 Twilights and x1 Rarity, so I went for the Twilight first option after considering what to pick.

This doesn't explain how my stamina went from 30+ before entering New Wings to absolute 0.

In that case you have to check both Twilight and Rarity...

Because with a ~50% accuracy rate you would have a large penalty to stamina consumption?

i think the stamina machine only consider history accuracy right. For example, excluding recent 10 riddle, this explain why your stamina cost immediately boosted (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/anime_cry.gif)

You should edit your first post with a better explanation then.

My understanding with no more "right" or "wrong" answers was that we could pick any pony shown in the picture and we'd pass, instead of having to pick everything that's shown to get the perfect score.

Riddlemaster has been a single choice for years now, so such a drastic change definitely will get a lot more people by surprise.

Getting my stamina dropped to zero with no explanation as to what I got wrong is also terrible, to the point that I needed the admin to explain me twice what I didn't do properly for me to catch up.

EDIT: btw, when can I start playing again with no stamina penalty?

I honestly assumed it was obvious considering the multiple-choice checkboxes?

It recalculates once per hour.

I'm one of those players who tend to have connection or local PC browser freezing issues which occasionally causes me to fail to answer riddlemasters. However, I don't see any problem with losing 10 stamina (I barely play anyway) as long as it doesn't build up my secret naughty score.

All the future equipment changes seem interesting and could all turn out great if they are implemented and balanced carefully. There's no one who could do it better, so I'm hoping for the best.

The main partial regret might be that if we lose potencies, our imperfect weapons/gear will lose some of their uniqueness and charm. For example my Legendary Demonic Rapier of Swiftness. We may not be able to have as many debates over which potencies or elements are better, and lose options to balance out our elemental mitigations. Everyone may aim for the exact same goal and the game gets more straightforward and boring.

Maybe we could get some kind of historical gallery/tab/mode so we can admire or play with our equipment in their original forms before we transform them?

I wouldn't worry too much about the potencies themselves right now; the new system will be reviewed carefully to ensure there are multiple choices for multiple situations, and we should end up with more viable (or situationally optimal) options than we have right now.

- Replaced the old "system message" popup. You can now click anywhere to dismiss it, and it no longer lets you click through to the background outside the box.

Hitting spacebar does not close popups now. Is it working as intended?

If it recalculates once per hour can we at least have a notification next to our stamina that shows we have a penalty currently active

I see absolutely zero upside for the players with the new riddlemaster, just substantially more work and timecrunch for basically zero additional reward and extreme penalties for getting them wrong with zero feedback showing you got them wrong compounding the penalties.

So that's the reason, I only always select one based on old experience, didn't notice should select mutiple...
This really make things harder, need to compare with the chart three more times...

At least now I know what happened

Most of your points are objectively wrong, but you are of course entitled to your opinions. They may take some getting used to, but as soon as you have them memorized it's not much slower than the old riddles - I did 2-300 of them during testing with ~98% accuracy and <10 second average answer time, and while I don't expect people to be me, it's really not as difficult as you make it sound. And the penalties are in fact much less severe - zero, in fact, at good-but-less-than-perfect accuracy, which you would need to avoid large penalties in the old system as well.

On which screen did it use to close the popup?

I've changed the behavior when running out of time to consider it as a blank answer with no direct stamina loss. I also tweaked some of the internal numbers based on the actual accuracy stats to make it a bit more lenient and bring most people within the "no penalty" range, and set it to only consider riddles answered after right now, but;
You only got 12 out of 23 across 12 riddles, so you may not have noticed that there can be several answers.
You got 13 out of 23 across 13 riddles, so the same applies to you.
17 out of 23 with 2 wrong answers in 11 riddles.
It's not. It doesn't start to apply any stamina penalties until a number of riddles have been answered and the accuracy is below a certain threshold, and the penalty scales exponentially so if you're just a little bit below the threshold it would be barely noticeable. The occasional miss has no penalties whatsoever, unlike the old system.
The min time was increased to 30 seconds.

Can you tell me the date too.

When I salvage the equipment, I can't hit the space to close the popup, you should use mouse to click


the Riddlemaster, it is difficulty when the Fluttershy between other two Little Ponys

the Fluttershy is too light

This one:

hi tenboro, i would like to ask you what will happen with our legend/peerless equip on persistent what we already have forged and iwed, as the patch/system goes live?

just incase i misunderstood the whole thing!

do we lose all our forge and potencies also on persistent and have to start over (not just isekai only as seasons ends),
for the sake that we will be able to max our stats on legends/peerless further?
since the new system/patch effects also persistent... it opens me more questions as you awnser in the notes.

well, i realy hope i misunderstood you!!!

thx for your time~

10 out of 11 correct in 7 riddles.

Looks like it's like that in the old version as well, but it probably should so I'll add it to the list.

You'll keep the forged stuff (converted to the new system) but IW-unlocked potencies are unlikely to carry over in any way.

Catalysts are no longer tradeable. They will likely be retired in the future, with the forge charging credits directly instead.

The value charged directly will have a 10% discount for those who have Coupon Clipper? Or will everyone pay the same value? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

Future Changes to Equipment Mechanics

Would not it be better to reset all equipment during conversion, returning 100% of forge material? In this case, we would stay as if the equipment were "new" (without upgrades or IW).

Haven't decided what to do with Coupon Clipper tbh.

Yeah, possibly. I haven't really gotten that far in planning the actual conversion, but it would probably not be any harder and also probably cause less.. friction.

The generated image will always show three ponies;

I just had a riddle with 4 pony images...well, 4 sets of eyes at least. All the same pony but still it was more than 3 ponies.

There's one image of Pinkie riding Pinkie, so yes, you are technically correct. (The best kind of correct.)
