In more positive news, my monsters seem to get more kills now.

Just did a legendary arena. Doesn't seem as bad as everyone makes it out to be =\

I have to say, though, instead of a more available subtle option, Tenb opt for messing with player's evade and monster's HP ... What a bold move! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

Honestly if he wanted to get people to stop relying on evade he should turn down monster damage and increase how mitigation from armor scales. He already decreased scaling for evade in the past, but it stayed on top because monster damage is out of control no matter how much mitigation you have.

I think I have some idea why he nerfed it, but not really sure about the reason for its severity. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

FYI, I don't really care that much about evade since .... No, not Mace... but since the removal of silks and even before that, I never was one of those pajamas-cladded melee.

I did all the schoolgirls arenas and its much more of a pain then before. I use to do them all on hard and if I have more time heroic. Today I did one on hard and the rest on normal, normal is close to doing it on heroic. Since all rounds take longer to finish the monsters have more time to build mana/spirit for attacks.

And that spirit mode shit is a fucking joke, ya lets hit a monster for 30 turns so I can cast spells for less mana. That is what ET, channeling, coalesced mana is for. Spirit mode was way better when it added damage.

Does anyone still get equipment drops as Arena Clear bonuses? All I keep getting are crystals and enemies sometimes drop pots or equipment when HV was updated.

Come back after a week of arenas so you actually have a more representative sample

Anyone want to guess what is Tenb's intention to increase mob's HP? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) ... I don't really get it.

By looking at the rate of HP growth, one logical conclusion I could come up with is to make people play at higher difficulty. But the way he implemented it will not accomplish this... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif)

Another would be to reduce the amount of credits gain by higher lv player ... While this is a very plausible reason, I just don't understand it at all; a reduction of people's virtual wealth will accomplish... what? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) ... Does it make people contribute more to the site? I don't think so. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/mellow.gif) I... I just don't know...

Even for that, he doesn't really need to use a roundabout way like this and could simply just go straight and cut the amount of credits handout by the game to specific demographic (ex: low diff grindfestier, high lv facemelter, etc) and I believe it would not be as angst inducing as what he had done.

Other reason may be that Tenb just want to see people suffer... His silence so far lend weight to the notion that this may not be just a joke. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)



Not that I pissed about it; I actually like this patch, in fact. ... I just don't understand what's going on here... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

Long-shot, but... maybe there'll be more OC/skill/forge changes next patch buffing damage and provide more incentive to use the forge/lab more (credit sink). Or maybe there was a problem with bots?

Still gonna be at least another month 'til next patch day so I think I'll take a break (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cool2.gif)

I did thought about this. But if this is the case and was done deliberately, he must be one hell of a masochist... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Wish he would implement the buffs first, before he implements the changes that those buffs are supposed to counter

Thank you, naive melee lurker. 92% savings. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

As I've said, the problem is that it's breaking down the cycle for leveling.

My cycle basically goes
1. Level up my equipments through IW
2. Collect credits, experience, crystals from arenas
3. Level up myself and my monsters, use the credits for training/haths

Basically I don't do grindfests, but still my leveling cycle breaks down because I can no longer effectively level up my equipments.

I remember once Tenb said that we're supposed to play longer IWs because we have the ability to do better than those new players.
But now I've to play in the same difficulty, spending more potions, and play more rounds to achieve the same result. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

you forgot "and those rounds take longer"

At least RoB is easier now.
Not that it matters, since I've been on a Superior streak with my Noodles.

Great. Yesterday everything was working smooth after the update. But now I'm stuck with the big green bar when I try to play.

1. Clearing cache
2. ipconfig /flushdns
3. CCleaner

All the above steps didn't help. Great. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

e: seems my modem was waving it's schlong around shouting I have files. After restarting the modem everything seems to work again

Open www.hentaiverse.org instead of hentaiverse.org and see if the problem persists.
It seems like the stylesheet is not being linked correctly.

one good thing about this patch for mage like me: more cast to clear each round means more prof gained per round!

I start to think that the real purpose of the hp buff is to bring the leveling speed of new players back to the speed before 0.5.2.

If that's true, then Good Luck to new players. It will be some harsh time before you can be powerful.
