Ichy probably gets a lot of hates. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

So...what have changed from before? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

I don't care about your opinions anyway (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Most important, the changes in equipment. Getting a good drop was one-in-a-million chance anyway and now even if we do get a Superior+ Phase or Shade, it's going to be missing half its bonuses. And on top of that, all the others that we'd get by then, will have been valued by the Equipment shop as if they were garbage. -__- Magnificent Cotton cap (L228) valued at 635C. Superior Kevlar Helmet of Protection (L272) valued at 1295C. Fair Phase Shoes of Freyr (L271) valued at 972C... Are you sure you didn't completely and horribly overdo it there? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) And yeah, equipment drops a little more often now but it's still mostly worthless, with Crude and Fair items dropping on Nightmare and Average even on IWBTH...

Agree, the changes to equipment this time takes a lot of fun out of the game. Fighting battle after battle, hoping to find pieces of rare, awesome equipment to make my character even stronger, or to sell at the Shop and get more credits for training or downloading galleries....but now that I know that there's a good chance it's going to be poor quality (I've seen Superior+ pieces of equipment in the Shop that have no stat bonuses at all) AND it's going to sell for next to nothing, part of the charm's been lost. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Oh dear. I've got this monster that at PL 23 and I lack crystals to do anything about it. Oh well. Do unactivated monsters still give items? I suppose not right?
Well, all those chaos tokens I'm accumulating might get some use now ...If I do get enough crystals anyway.

Just hate the players with maces....

-- One-handed: 1.5 => 3.0 per point
-- Two-handed: 2.0 => 3.0 per point
-- Dual-Wield: 2.5 => 5.0 per point

Double the bonus for 1h and dual, but give 2h just a meager 3.

Maybe you can provide a reason based on math or logic for this? I bought myself a eth mace and now I feel like being cheated on every patch.

Anti-evade, anti-block, anti-you-name-it: what for? Reconsider the actual formulas for hit, block, etc before actually messing up with "new" stats. New stats will be adapted and calculated within the old ones, so why not changing those existing ones to tweak?

Balancing is hard to do, but maybe you can think of it.

How about anti Block, anti evade, Anti resist for players?

Unlockable at level 300 and 350 (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Where's that "Don't be an a-hole" pic that Evil Scorpio made?

I actually kind of like it.

Drop them as abilities and it's a done deal (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Skill powers are different now.

So, if I don't update my Giant's skills, its first skill stays at 50 power, or is this a visual bug only? Also, if I name a second skill and don't name the first skill, will it only use the second skill, or would it do that anyway, or is there no way to play the system like that?

- Four new stats were added to the game; for want of better words, anti-evade, anti-block, anti-resist and anti-parry. These reduce the corresponding effective stat of a target by a percentage amount.

Precision, Force, Potency, Balance?

- The power bonus from posting has similarly been replaced by a factor based on total number of active days.

Anywhere to see total active days, and is it retroactive?

And is an active day only when you post on a given day, or can it be from doing other things on the site? I'm a bit negative about it being posting only, because while I am very active on the site, I only tend to post when there's something to discuss, mainly in the Vigilante. Others may post stuff like "I agree" or questions, and get rewarded for being active. I'm not asking that this should be removed, but that other things should also count as daily activities.

I have a question...

39 5 You have been defeated.
39 4 Breath hits you for 22787 piercing damage.

wtf is this-?????
I have 6874 HP... shouldn't there be some cap so monsters can't get you in one hit?

Concurring opinion that this update hurt mages :/ I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but farming Overcharge with staff strikes even for lower level stuff seems more dangerous and slower (even when you compensate for higher mana use) than simply nuking things with (now seemingly necessary) higher level spells. At least for me, Focus/ET are never used.

In my opinion, the "anti evade" stats are a bad idea. Defense piercing perhaps, but that? It just makes mages even MORE squishy!

Also, something else: It's kind of hard to make the kind of specialized monster I'd like right now because the lower level upgrades are so cheap for the benefit relative to later ones. It's kind of hard to justify not getting upgrades that cost 1 or 2 tokens regardless of what they're good for, or whether they would make sense on the character.

Nope. Spark of Life or Spirit shield.

Is it also because I was on IWBTH?
ehm... my first time (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/mellow.gif)

*facepalms*

And just so you know, you can be one shot on normal too, especially this patch.

:facepalm:

On normal mobs like Lisi can easily crit you for 7k HP, as well.

this patch should have been named Bazaar Price of Equipment Cut to 1/3, Luck of the Draw Cut to 1/2, All Tier 1 Armor Is Endless Pile Of Resist Gear

I was somehow totally owned on normal yesterday, but today I left normal for the first time and found out I'm quite strong....
trying heroic now, just sliced like nothing thru 31 rounds of grindfest and still going... only crit can stop me now (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
Even on IWBTH I can survive 6-7 rounds.

btw: how do I trigger spirit shield? I couldn't figure that out (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

SP shield

Any attack that hits for more than 25% of your max health will cause you to lose exactly 25% of your health, with the remainder absorbed as damage to your spirit.
The amount of Spirit damage depends on the power of the blow that was absorbed, and is 40% of base (reducible to 20% at max AP) for blows that would otherwise take off 100% or more health, linearly reducing to 0 at exactly 25% damage.
The spell will fail if you don't have sufficient Spirit.

You should probably spend more time on arenas.

No reason a player should be pwned on normal in our turn, until deep into IW/GF/CF, but on IWBTH there is nothing wrong with that (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

To trigger Spirit Shield, you must have the ability, and then cast it. When a monster hits you for over 25% of your max life it will trigger draining 25% of your health and some spirit. You can still get one shot though unless you also use spark.

At least you should be able to cast spirit shield since you are way past lv190. I will still have to wait some time before I can use that spell. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
