[X] My Assistant

Predictions for 0.6.1:

Everyone gets reset to level 1.

All equipments are destroyed.

All spells are removed.

No items. Final Destination.

I'm not saying that it was any given player's fault, and code will never be bug-free. But do the math. There is one coder, and how many players? The odds that no one noticed it is extremely low. And I'm not using it to attack people, but to defend the intentions of the patch. A little understanding goes a long way, and I'm seeing very little of it from some people.

Well, bringing up Sayo again, he did say he 'noticed' something weird. But it wasn't enough to conclude there was a bug.

For all that it's worth, I find the changes very nice as a level 160 player. Thanks to the lower damage output from creatures, I can finally play on hard again. Previously, I was stuck on normal since the patch that made us encounter monsters close to our level, so I view this patch as a much needed fix to the monster lab overkill we've been suffering the last couple patches.

Note that I don't use EDB gear, so I didn't really get nerfed.

For my level, before the patch, i normally level up 2 times per day, but now i haven't finished all the arena, but i've leveled up 3 times today. The patch is really benefited for the low level player. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Do it! DO IT! I want to drown in the schadenfreude.

-12,5 crit if i m correct means also less often weapon procs (guaranted proc when crit) in some cases it may or may not make a difference

and there still wasnt an answer to shield block rising armor proficiency instead of one handed

Do it! DO IT! I want to drown in the schadenfreude.

Final Destination, of course, being the only arena available.

Nope. New effect, it's not a DoT anymore.

Here, I put in the new effect:

Yeah it should probably be mentioned in the notes that it's now an attack debuff instead of DoT. That is a huge difference when you have a near dead monster and you're thinking that searing skin will kill it while you go on to the next monster.

and there still wasnt an answer to shield block rising armor proficiency instead of one handed

I don't think it is? The proficiency increase on block was removed along with shield proficiency, but you can gain armor prof any time something attacks you.

Found something odd:

I'm fighting White Bunneh and I have Haste and Shadow Veil as Innate Arcana and my MP went below 10% so they expired. Now I'm just magic missiling and ether thefting it but the 2 spells won't reactivate even my MP is currently 250/942. It's been about 30 turns already and the buffs still haven't reactivated yet themselves.

i noticed several times that succesful block increased my armor proficiency
and you wrote: Everything Shield used to do now uses One-Handed Proficiency.
so i got confuced i gues it counts as miss for proficiency increase

in case shield block does not increase any proficiency it may be a bad idea for armor prociciency grinding

Everything seem to got nerfed, yet my character is a lot stronger than before ... It's a paradox. And it's awesome! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Please fix. I suggest moving the button to the top of the text block, rather than the bottom. Default font seems to work fine.

The system doesn't roll on whether they have one or not until you check them.

Does the chance change if we check and they don't have anything? I guess what I'm asking is, are we penalized for checking too soon?

A little understanding goes a long way, and I'm seeing very little of it from some people.

I just can't get my rage on for this update (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Channeling is the same as before, you just can't trigger it at will. I suppose you can call that a "nerf" if you're trying to make a point, but it's really to let non-mage players also have a chance to proc it.

I've got to argue for some tweaks to this. With the reduced damage I have to fire off tier3 spells every turn to stand any chance of killing anything, but channeling is still extremely rare with those. Also, the reduced chance of getting channeling when magicking a coalesced mob is just mean; it's got a "you can't have your cake and eat it too" feel. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

A boost to ether theft would be very helpful. Against legendaries and higher it used to be: proc ET and magic missile them for several chances of channeling, which meant ET reliably gave more mp than simply what was restored. In that sense ET has been nerfed for mages. I'm not arguing go back to old system, but something to balance the randomness/unreliability would be appreciated.

On the Trainer page, the Spelunker description text is all lower case with Everything Else Having All Uppercase First Letters.


I don't suppose there is any way you'll add another 10 levels on to Spelunker? Difficulty and Stamina already do a great job of limiting how fast you can level something without the hassle of waiting half a day per play. If your concern is people paying others to level things for them, that's already being done.

Funny man.

Thanks T-Bro. I wouldn't be here anymore if I wasn't.

Can I still play Fox?

Oh btw, losing 12.5% crit chance will drop your total damage output by 4.16%. You can now start arguing about that 1.66% damage loss.

Ah, but was the 3.5% increase before or after the 4.16% decrease? =D

Size 9 with spacing -5 is all off for me, but I've fixed the button in place.

Well, the way it works right now is, when you enter the monster screen it will roll on it if it's been more than one hour since you last checked. The number of hours (not rounded) is multiplied with the number of battles the monster has won since last time it brought you a gift.

So if it's been three and a half hours since you last checked, and it's won five battles since it last gave you something, your "score" is 17.5. This score then has to be higher than a random roll from 0 to 100 - in this case, a 17.5% chance. If you do not get an item, the last-checked timer is is reset to the current time, so if you check one hour later (and it didn't get any more kills), the chance would be 5%.

Note that your score can go above 100, in which case it's a guaranteed drop.

I don't think there's a statistical advantage to checking less often, but if someone wants to model it, go right ahead. There will be a disadvantage to checking too seldom, that is, having the score go above 100.

Curious, then, what affects quality?

Probably the killing blows, and I hope the PL as well.

Power Level. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

But note that this only affects whether you get Low, Mid or High-grade stuff. The bindings and special components don't rely on quality.

I'm looking forward to full implementation, sir. Thanks.
