[X] My Assistant

I miss the mini-bosses - it seems kind of lonely without them. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

If nothing else, they added some visual variety to the monster list - now everything is the same colour. Not to mention that they served as convenient pre-selected targets for my AoE spells...

Sold of a pair of EXUISITE Cotton shoes for 500 credits, no attributes. Frankly the daily equipment sales have been total shit. 100-200 average for equipment is pretty horrible even with the extreme price slashing on materials, which are usually out of stock on what I need anyways.


If I could change one thing back it would be to bring back the mini bosses, like others have said, I too miss the variety. Theyre vintage (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)



What kills me most with this update: I just blew a load of hath points for penny pincher to try and get stuff from the bazaar alittle cheaper. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)

You know what would be awesome? Shadowdancer Shade with all 6 attributes. That would never happen, but it's amazing to think about.

when hath use to cost 2000c it was worth it, not so much if you pay 14k/hath.

I think it's rather unreasonable that monsters can still parry/evade your attack even if they are stunned.

Might be good if the miss chance of player's attack/magic reduced to 0 against stunned enemy.

I thought about getting Penny Pincher as well, but I guess that selling those hath would make me earn much more credits than Penny Pincher could ever get me, wouldn't it?

lol, got my first 503 error just now.

That's not how you fix a computer, Derpy. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

We all regret now the old minibosses ^^

Arena clear bonus isn't guaranteed to be equip unless it's ring of blood. But point, people who get most of their equip from ring of blood and the shrine will be affected since the generation rate of those didn't double.

Now then, I just got a better pair of Kevlar Boots of Protection so I went to the shop to sell my old ones. I got offered 243 credits. According to my equipment spreadsheet, before the patch, the bazaar's buy price for those was 842 credits, 3.46x as much.

I have the pre-patch bazaar offers recorded for a lot of equipment. According to the patch notes, it at first sounds like the new price should be 50% of the old one.

- Equipment drop chance was doubled, but equipment bazaar value was halved.

Some comparisons in actuality:

Average Phase Cap of Heimdall (lv. 97)                   951C ->   559C   (59%)
Fine Phase Shoes of the Fox (lv. 306)                  3,638C -> 2,138C   (59%)

Exquisite Gossamer Gloves of the Owl (lv. 46)            683C ->   504C   (74%)
Superior Axe of the Ox  (lv. 83)                         350C ->   397C  (113%)  (really?  only have figures for one axe.)

That seems to go by equipment type, and there is also this:

- Equipment prices were adjusted so that the values of the same tier from different equipment classes are roughly the same.

So the net impact on cash flow depends on what equipment flavors are dropping for people and is harder to assess than just 2 * 0.5.

For new equipment, the changes to the loot generation algorithm of course also affect the credits gained, since it generates the input to the bazaar value algorithm.

Holy shit the monsters hit so hard now lol, now I actually have to pay attention for normal arena for trophy farm and can barely break 40 rounds before fleeing on IWBTH arena. Just takes a some time to get used to all the op monsters out there.
btw did the monsters got ninja nerfed after the patch? maybe in the hp? felt a lot easier to kill them after the first few days of the patch. (hits just as hard though)

Tenb, please take a look at this nameless monster

0 2 Spawned Monster A: MID=29261 () LV=313 HP=8157.4975

I recognize that MID.

I notice that Oyz [MID=26577] and 0yz [MID=29261] (both giants) are still active monsters.

It's strange. How can a nameless monster join the fight?

It was supposed to be deactivated. Dunno why it didn't happen.

I'm level 187 and I also fought against a nameless monster during my latest hourly. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

I thought about getting Penny Pincher as well, but I guess that selling those hath would make me earn much more credits than Penny Pincher could ever get me, wouldn't it?

If you have to buy the hath for those credit perks its not a good idea, but if you get hath from artifacts, stars, H@H.... its not as bad. But still those perks just aren't as good as they use to be.

That's why the black and white aura were more appealing to me.

So Tenboro, what are we going to do about the unnamed monsters after we find out that the name we wanted is taken? Having to pay FIVE tokens to delete them just makes no sense and there really was nothing wrong with being able to check if a monster name exists BEFORE trying to create it. You understand what I'm talking about, don't you?

- The "posting bonus" for EXP has been revamped. Instead of being based on the number of posts during the last day, it's now based on activity over the last month. A single post per day is enough, and it maxes at being "active" 20 of the last 30 days.

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

Would 20 posts in 1 day make it so that you have maxed out bonus for the next 30 days?
Is there any negative effect to "skipping" a day (lets say, having 0 posts on monday will negatively affect my count from days before it)
