It's there to prevent the possibility of anyone playing forever in those modes.

Doesn't really make sense for IW, does it?

Tell that to 4EverLost, he plays for hundred rounds on Heroic and above, and daily

The damage bonus doesn't get kept between each item, but gets reset every time you enter a new IW.

That's why it doesn't really make sense, to me at least. You already have the number of rounds as a hard cap, why the damage increase anyway?

IW is in need of a redesign in general, though.

all it has done is force the really high level players to lower their difficulty by 1 grade

Nope, still cruising down IWBTH boulevard.

It just takes longer now because the monsters have more HP, resist/evade more, and hit harder. Naturally, we feel the need to complain some too, but it looks like tenboro has already taken care of my only complaint:

- The temporary HP boost added some time ago has been halved. As the upgrades get applied more widely, it will likely be removed entirely.

Though I think it should be removed entirely now since most of the massively high PL monsters have already been fully boosted.

The increasing damage for monsters in GF/CF/IW should be removed completely.

I've asked for this after every monster boost in every patch, and it hasn't happened. Maybe it shouldn't be removed completely, but with the massive damage monsters can dish out now even on Normal without its help, the scaling definitely needs to be adjusted.

IW doesn't need a redesign. Spelunker training needs a redesign to greatly reduce the number of rounds you have to play to complete each one. It's practically worthless as it is now, only reducing the interval from 20 to 10 hours.

This. Spelunker was only good when we was limited by the number of IWs we can d a day and a limit to GF.

Woah nice PABs (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

waiting for the first PABless Legendary (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

Equipment drops are now going under PAB roulette to determine if a piece of equipment has PABs or not. Ranges from 0-4 so far. Since the animal suffixes are gone, we have to see if our equipment drops will get any PAB at all. More is better but only on equipment that we want to have.

The increasing damage for monsters in GF/CF/IW should be removed completely.

They already deal enough damage as is, and after about 100 rounds, 150% damage from mob hits is tough to deal with @_@

at one time the deeper you went into a run the better loot you could get. Monsters hitting harder wasn't a problem then because a good mage could clear normal/hard with tier 1 spells or BT with a tier 1 + tier 3 or sometimes just a tier 3.

Its been a very long time since you could come close to that. The best I ever did was +12k rounds in a hard GF but I did that over a few days. So in that time I wasn't able to do any Arenas, RoB or IW. It worked better to just grind a few 1000 rounds then stop. At that time you also only got 1 credit a round after a point.

Now with stamina and all that BS if you want to grind the only thing left is CF, and if you want to do that its normal or BT. For both you need very good gear to do it fast.

If I do IW its normal/hard or BT-IWBTH. It depends on how many levels something needs and how much time I have or how much someone is paying me to do it. Clearing 10-20 IW on normal works just as well as doing fewer items on IWBTH, it just depends on what you want to get out of it. If you only have a few items to level doing the same item twice a day for +20 is rather nice but if you have a ton of stuff you want to level and it doesn't need very many levels going them on normal (with normal stamina) works because you'll be clearing more rounds. More rounds is more drops, more artifacts....

The damage bonus doesn't get kept between each item, but gets reset every time you enter a new IW.

That's why it doesn't really make sense, to me at least. You already have the number of rounds as a hard cap, why the damage increase anyway?

If you wanted to level fast finding an Exquisite and playing BT-IW was the best way of doing that. Monsters did less damage then GF and EXP from IW depends on the quality of the item being used. Again the deeper you went the better loot you could get. That's why when we were 200-250 we had items we could use for IW that were 300-450.

With all these changes to IW and damage nerfs to mages its become a pain to do IW fast. And I think all the damage/HP changes have been there because tenb doesn't like people to grind normal.

How about a 'scan a random monster topic'?
That way we'd pretty much create a database of monsters and their owners. So if you wanted to know the owner you'd have to simply search for the monster in that topic.

Is anyone else having this problem? It's been doing this the past couple of weeks. Never did it before.


The icons look normal.

And then when I click spirit, it looks weird and knocks everything out of place.

but I don't want people to know my monsters, they may stop bringing me gifts (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

That happens every time to me too. But it's only for like a second while the page loads so I don't really care.
It only happens with spirit stance though.

It stays like that for me the entire time until I either unclick it or the overcharge drains. It's a bit bothersome and I was just wondering if anyone else was experiencing it.

try a different font?

Open [g.ehgt.org] this and hard-refresh it (Ctrl+R)

And I think all the damage/HP changes have been there because tenb doesn't like people to grind normal.

And so the only sensible solution is to not do it, right? Nope, I don't like people trying to control what difficulty I play in any game, regardless of how good I am.

I'd rather just acquire such a powerful set that the entire game becomes broken for others when Tenboro tries to stop me. Seems to be working since the number of high level players that still grind normal can be counted on one hand.

that still can grind normal can be counted on one hand.

but ya, It sucks that the game has become more or less you have to play it this way with this gear if you want to do this that or some other thing.

It was more fun when you could use Elementalist gear and do good damage with all element spells or you could pick just one element and go with that. I use to love soul damage and used if for a very long time and like you used it for schoolgirls. I don't hear anyone talking about soul spells anymore.

Now every patch changes what works and what is crap. We go from soul weapons to void to maces then bleed now Estoc. In a few patches its going to be naked combat with fists vs dicks.
