[X] My Assistant

I noticed a series of nerfs to mace. First nerf to 50% damage bonus, then to 25%, then none.

I guess shade armor users like me are really screwed in this version, as the monsters now have chances to reduce your evade chance.

With stun damage nerf, monster hp buff, and monster mit increase, it now takes more than 100 turns to kill Lisi or Elizabeth with my Ethereal Mace on IWBTH (not counting skills). Basically IWBTH is unplayable unless I use an estoc now.

ITT: People complain a lot.

Good to see that Tenboro still loves subscribing to the More HP = more difficulty design philosophy (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Worked for Xenosaga.

I really hate some monsters: Noihara Himari, Sakurai Kei, Elizabeth, Liselotte Werckmeister. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

now that explain on 8/9 mons on a random battle I did has a red bar

Thats how I noticed something had changed. I suddenly realized those red bars werent there before (as full). xD

Yeah... This is just way too difficult. Also, I'm not really getting all too many equipment drops, but whatever.

IWBTH is definitely impossible for me now. Except for the first ~3 arenas, I just can't do it. Battletoads is okay up until the ~6th arena, so that's out too.

Sticking to normal/hard/heroic until the difficulty is lowered. Hopefully won't be too long.

0.6.7 - Primary Attributes get a buff! Yay~
0.6.8 - Equipment no longer automatically get PABs. lolwut?

With the monster upgrades, I'm thinking their HP modifier's gonna need to be toned down again or removed entirely soon.

Wasn't the HP buff originally introduced as a placeholder to slow down killing speed and encourage higher difficulties and thus should be looked at for re-re-retweaking again?

Also since Stun/Sleep has lost its advantage of having a damage boost, can we go back to where they don't get a free turn once Stun/Sleep breaks?

The whole missing PAB thing, kinda stupid IMO, but that is just my opinion, which I know for a fact doesn't mean much most of the time. And when you add in the fact they can get any PAB it becauses a super trollfest compared to how it was before, though it does make it a lot more random. The useful PABs for a certain type should be guaranteed, while the other ones should be the ones that have a chance to happen.

In other news I'm not sure how well I am thinking so here is what I think of the patch: RAGGLE FRAGGLE RAWR RAWR RAWR SQUIRELL PONY DOOOM. And yes, the capitals were necessarily.

@Tenboro: Since Willow/Oak are now T1 with Redwood, what is T2 for staffs, since Ebony is part of Katalox in T3?

Edit: @Anyone who cares: NM, did a shrine dump cause IDGAF. Looks like it missed making it to the patch notes, but Ebony became T2

So, what can I say about the new patch after some testing. One word: ASS. I don't like to complain, but that's just a clusterfuck.

1. Going through last levels of T&T on BT now is like dodging trucks on a speedway. But don't worry, guys, it's just a beginning. Wait till most part of the players will max out their monsters with Chaos Tokens - then we'll all be fucked. The most funny thing: when people upgrade their monsters - their digging their own graves.

2. New PAB counting system is the biggest trollfest I've ever seen here. At least before we've had crappy equipment types and good equipment types. Now we have crappy equipment types and mostly possible crappy equipment types. Also... T&T on BT -> Superior Gossamer Robe of the Priestess without PAB's. Considering the fact I've mentioned in "1" - that's just mockery. And if somebody think LotD will help you - check this out:

217 6 Skuld dropped [Average Phase Cap of Fenrir]
WTF. How in the hell do you get an Average drop on IWBTH, with max LotD, on round 100, with a God? Actually, I'm shocked it even has both INT and WIS.

So there is no logic in lowering the dificulty, because you'll have even more crap then. Great... "Drop chance was doubled"? Uuh-huh... I didn't see that at all. And I have the feeling LotD bonus was halved to balance this useless boost. Even if it works - now we have twice more crap. And the bazaar prices was lowered, so we can't even get some decent money for selling it there. Fascinating.

3. Stun nerf. Thank you very much, T-Bro, using a mace against boosted monsters is like cutting the metal plate with a blunt knife now. You were right, Hito, you were goddamn right...

Overall: that's a big pile of trollfuck. I'm thinking about taking a little vacation, 'cause I don't like to work like a motherfuckin' farm ox and get crap in return.

Sakurai Kei, tooooooooo powerful today. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)

Ok, did the usual daily battery of Arenas and RoB. I could sum things up by this gem:

8 1 Useless parrys your attack.
7 1 Useless parrys your attack.
6 1 Useless parrys your attack.

And yes, this was during STUN.

Unless the equipment, battle, and credit nerf situations get altered, as well as dealing with the insanely overpowered and now defensively operational super high level customs, HV is all done for low, mid, and high level players alike. Welcome to the "Yugo" HV.

3. Mind disclosing the detailed tier composition of equips? I don't think there's any benefit of keeping that secret.

@varst: https://forums.e-hentai.org/index.php?s=&am...t&p=1945163

Only thing that changed is that Willow/Oak are now T1 with Redwood, and Ebony is now T2 by itself instead of being grouped with Katalox

I think monsters would now do even better than the players at HVerse, if a future patch lets your monsters fight for you when you're not playing. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Also, I got a piece of Heavy Armor with an Agility bonus lolwut

i think the getting stronger monsters would be a big problem to me soon (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

0.6.9: Warging has been introduced. You can now control your monsters into entering battle and fighting for you.
Strengthening your bond through Affection will make you an overall more powerful skinchanger.
