T&T is rather easy, the hardest non-Legendary arena is probably To Kill a God.

I'm rather miffed by the Token drops lately, or rather lack of them. I've been going through the first ten or so arenas everyday for a while now, and I used to be able to get several tokens through each run. Lately though, I've been lucky to get one Token drop, and I haven't had any Blood tokens in a while.

Same here, wonder why? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Trio and the Tree will open in 10 levels... I'm wondering if I'll be able to do that on Hard without running out of mana.

Doing levels of the arena with the hardest or nearly hardest difficulty for each one that you can win, is a great source of XP and better quality loot.

Just finished T&T on Nightmare, used only 4 Greater Mana Pots. Eth Mace + full Kevlar set. And btw +1000000 to Tiap

No Bucklers on the T&T Clear Round.
Anything is fine. Just no more Bucklers.

PLEASE, NO MORE BUCKLERS!!! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif) (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/faint.gif)

Is there any other way to gain hath without a fast computer, because I have a slower one and I can't afford any better?

H@H should depend more on how fast your ISP (upload speed) is then how fast your pc is.

You can gain Hath if you donate for gold stars (costs cash)
You can upload galleries to get GP, then convert those to credits 10/1 then buy hath with the credits.
You can make torrents for someones gallery and then seed it to gain GP then same as above.
You can play HV, sell drops, trade artifacts and gems to other players for credits/hath.

The fastest way to gain hath is to adapt server slots. Its $10 for 1 month for 1 slot, you'll get 3 hath a day for 30 days + GP

But short of mailing Tenboro a $50 money order or something, there's no way to donate right now. Makes for a sad panda. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

ya, that is kind of messed up how those sites don't like porn. It has always been porn that gets new formats going, VHS, DVD, the net. So why do they have a problem with they want to pay/donate to sites.

I blame the children. You know, the ones that cry a lot. Always saying "I want I want" and behaving badly. Haven't grown up yet so they're always expecting everyone else to give them what they want. Wait, you thought I meant minors? I meant politicians! So every time you see some busy body interfering in your life - remember this expression: "Do it for the children!" (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

It's not that they don't like porn or such (PayPal does but they're [short-bus] "special"). It's that the banks that handle their processing hate some of the kinds of business that the payment services that are 'loose' enough to handle porn, also handle. Think gambling and the like.

Really? I'm used to only getting 1-2 tokens a day from the first ten arenas...

Although these few days, I've been getting a lot of token drops from "non-final round" arena fights. They've all been Token of Healings though.

I usually got enough chaos tokens per day to fuel 1 FSM.
During the last few days though, I got none. One or two maybe from all arenas, and none from GF what-so-ever. It's like their drop rate went down to one fifth of what it used to be.

This is likely the an intentional change by Tenboro for an upcoming patch. Can't be anything else.


Edit:
Also, 503 errors at random times every day.
Like right now:

Error 503 Service Unavailable

Service Unavailable

Varnish cache server

Getting lots of them today.

We had the same discussion some time ago~
tl;dr you're unlucky and/or the game hates you; it happens.

Reading up on the 503..

Basically, if the connection to the backend is successful, but the backend doesn't send the first byte without a certain timeout period, or there is a delay between sending bytes, Varnish will timeout and return a HTTP/503 error.

The solution is to update the timeout values (and of course, fix up the slow backend server) such as below (as detailed at: [varnish-cache.org] http://varnish-cache.org/wiki/VCL):

backend www {
.host = "www.example.com";
.port = "http";
.connect_timeout = 1s;
.first_byte_timeout = 5s;
.between_bytes_timeout = 2s;
}

It's probably not that though..
When I got the 503, the defect lasted for about ten minutes during which I did get a few seconds of clarity, HV worked, but it was responding really slowly. Like 20 seconds or more per page load. So it was the backend server not replying to varnish after all.

If you looked at the twitter you'd see why.

(Incidentally, it has clocked 7 load failures since I restarted Varnish yesterday. Out of 21331088.)

Okay, so..

Was the blood token droprate changed? ;3
After 28 arenas today, I got 0 tokens.
Got one after 2.3k normalfest rounds.

Odd, I've been getting tokens...

One thing I've learned about video games, especially online ones, is that if you've had bad luck with the RNG it's most likely just bad luck.

I've seen that question over and over and over: "I've been unable to get a drop lately/missing more often/getting hit more often/whatever compared to what I used to. Did the rate get changed?" And the answer is, over 99% of the time: "No, you just had a run of bad luck."

Even if it happens over a period of weeks. With the many, many people playing an online game sooner or later someone is going to hit a bad OR good streak. It's just unfortunate that a bad streak happened to you this time.

seems bad luck streaks happen more often than good luck streaks (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Not necessarily. It's just that losing streaks are more memorable than the average or even winning streaks.

thank you very much
