[X] My Assistant

kinda like it seems to get through rounds faster but don't like having to cast cure almost every other turn in later rounds.

though my monster has got more kills since patch then the 3-4 days before since i made it

EXP stuff hasn't changed, but if you've seen a drop, I suspect it's related to that thread about EXP bonuses in the ability tree. The way those things are cached was changed to make stuff update instantly, so if the bonus somehow got "stuck" in the memory cache for someone (I've seen that before), it's possible you were getting the bonus without actually having the points in the abilities.

Can you elaborate?

Earlier the magic damage for an element was calculated as something like (MDM + EDM) * seventeen other factors, but since MDM changed, it's now Base Damage * EDM * seventeen other factors.

Does this mean the chance is lowered with a higher number of stats or the other way around?

It's harder to roll high on a larger number of stats. The system does compensate somewhat for this, but it's not possible to make it fully consistent across all combination of rolls.

is stamina drain in crysfest the same in great status and normal

I would assume 1/4 of grindfest means crysfest is:

great: .1/4 = .025
normal: .05/4 = 0.0125

Love the lowered EXP rates. I'm not being sarcastic either. It just means I can sit in my throne as the number one for that much longer.

ehhh, I don't know about that. If there is even a reduced EXP, it's some kind of tiny amount that we would hardly even notice. I haven't seen it.

Also, I plan to facemelt some IWBTH legendaries now to find out if Tenboro is telling the truth about mag/legendary equips dropping. My 25/25 LotD and 20/20 Quartermaster will find out soon enough.

Edit:

EXP stuff hasn't changed

As I thought.

We just don't get the decimal places after the point relayed to us, I'm guessing.

Almost makes me want to go for the last 2 levels of LotD

While I can't prove it yet, the mana drain for battle seems to have gone up, or mana regen down.
I can clearly see it from running out of godly mana potions, where it did not happen before.
If this is because I revealed that heavy armor can actually be used, I won't reveal anything anymore.
I wonder who revealed the fact that High quality monster drops could be sold for twice the price it take to buy them back from bazaar.
Wasn't me. But then I didn't use it either.
And from now on I will not report my finding even in PMs to anyone.

Going to become more of a hermit Bunko?

You could stop posting altogether? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Regen feels completely useless now. 60-70 hp per turn is jack shit with every monster hitting for 100+ complete waste of mp when even f i tried to use it, 2 turns later i need to cast cure anyway because something used a special and obliterated my hp into the danger zone (now you're playing that song in your head... shit!)

Going to become more of a hermit Bunko?

Not that I want to.
But If I report something that can be of use to the people, the non-human-superbrain notices it and nerfs it for the lot of us.
Big Brother is watching.
I don't wannna be responsible for fucking all of us over.
Not that I need to level up much more.

Ichy's idea to stop posting completely was what I was going for, but then I'd turn in to a super perverted turtle hermit.

I've always had exp tanks though. I've reset my stats 3 or 4 times, but for the most part I've always had them. Still, my experience gains now are noticeably lower compared to previous runs.

Well, someone got a Legendary already.

A dagger.

Of focus.

I lol'd.

Oh, you.

BTW, have you looked into that problem with how equipment is sorted in lists? Everything is all not-alphabetical anymore.

I wish I still had time to do IWBTH arenas. Just going through the daily arenas is already too time consuming. You can send the extra Mags/Legendaries my way once you get a full set.

If you want credits for LoTD, I know a place. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Cool, my mitigations have gone up due to END changes, and my damage is more impressive.

After reading everything up to this point, I can finally see why my Regen really wasn't helping me and why I had to throw a few cures / pots every now and then.

I suppose faster gameplay benefits me more, since my schedule is horrible for me to have to grind all day or sit and click for ages.

It's intentional, kinda. It basically tries to sort by quality instead of using the name directly - which is usually another way of sorting by quality, only more haphazardly.

Naaw, I'd have to manually calculate the equipment key. Ask jacksy.

Ouch.

Trollboro's such a tease. Who is it? I'm guessing it's the guy with max Lotd and max Quartermaster.

Is this something you're going to tweak some more, or could you explain how exactly it decides quality and in which direction it sorts?
