Qouting this, just in-case someone decides to delete it.

Idézet: D00ml0rd - 2010.11.13. 22:23:42




Yes, I was thinking about that one myself.

After some thoughts, the only plausible way to know is to multi-account and farm the other character.

I doubt any of the victims would send how much SE they lost to an attacker.

Seconded.

It's about time the issue is resolved. Logs need to be checked thoroughly for any type of indication concerning cheats/exploits/hacks/bots/scripts and whatnot.

Since all of the above can be used to provide an unfair advantage, the issue in question is serious.

Honestly, I've just about had enough with all the apathy. You can add me to the -paying customer list until this issue is resolved in a proper manner.

Did you have enough crystal points needed to submit the adventure in question?

Afaik, you need 10 crystals per challenge.

Kethios, that is already an extra comfort function. (we pay 50 AS for that and other functions)

Viridel, I ain't dissing W2; yet one can't compare it to W1 at such a young age. Not to mention that W1 has a higher influx of players.

Now, if the majority are active or not; is something that has to be seen. (Another reason why we need inactive player deletion.)

From my experience, when alternative worlds/servers are launched the majority of players there typically take an opposite class/race/role/horde or whatever; so that makes it even harder to compare. In order to analyse proper material we need to acquire data from the Hungarian servers.


From what I previously read in these forums is that most Hungarian players here are Emerald (I stand corrected if I'm wrong). That has to mean something.

Also, if the diamond's bonuses are at such an overpowered level, why is the Diamond horde on par with the Sapphire horde in the W1 event? The same thing applies for the W1 clan high-scores. I have also seen some Diamond players switching to the Emerald horde. Not to mention that W1 is dominated by the Emerald horde. Doesn't add up at all.


Can someone who understands some Hungarian please post some statistics from the Hun servers?

In the end, we both know that discussing all of this will do no difference. The other version of the game has been running for years, and nothing has changed; we can expect the same outcome whatever the results may be. Still, I'm up for giving it a try.

Yet, I honestly doubt that meddling with the horde bonuses will do anything positive to the horde numbers. It might have a detrimental effect if a horde is nerfed; players will simply jump ship and the situation is worsened. The sure-fire way to fix the member ratio issue is to limit horde selection for new players until a balanced ratio is achieved and offering incentives to current players who would like to join the minorities side. This way, current players have a profitable reason to do so; which will yield positive results in the long run.

Possibly, even a character transfer between worlds? (Will have to be free.)

As for Miss D00ml0rd.

I'm not offended at all. Your response was wholly predicted.

Unfortunately, you fall under the classification of the "forum troll" species.

Please note that your posts will be ignored from now on.

Have a nice day.

Regards,
LydonB


P.S. You might have the wrong gender sign selected.

Weird, here's mine:

Level 33
Used SE: 3.385
Defeated creatures: 50
+2 to all stats, +1 Luck, 25 burn-out stones.

Lad, you still don't get it.

First of all, my data is taken from world 1 since it's the longest running world. You can't take statistical data from a practically new world.. it's like asking a 5 year old to read Shakespeare.


As for horde bonuses, again you are not looking at the whole picture. You are simply looking at the quantity and that is a wrong way to analyse a situation.

The ruby bonus can be devastating if one uses it well; and to do that one must invest heavily in attack, strength and melee critical chance.


Something more simple to boggle your mind onto:

Emerald - Spell mastery
Ruby - Melee mastery
Sapphire - Defence mastery
Diamond - SE mastery

The current bonuses are balanced. If things are changed the situation will degenerate into chaos.



As for the rest, well my apologies but your reasons are simply idiotic to say the least. The bonuses are there to create a difference between the hordes and as I clearly explained before. Every horde has an advantage over the other.


Honestly, I can't be bothered to argument with you. I've shown you the facts, if you can't understand them read them again until you can. Sleep it over, look at it from an un-biased point and improve your analytical skills.

And if by any chance my posts offend anyone, please don't be. I speak my mind as is; there's no beating around the bush.

This scenario can, and will be abused.

Idézet: D00ml0rd - 2010.08.28. 07:50:12




I don't agree with you.

If you take the Acquired SE top 20, one can observe that your argument is flawed to the core.

5 Sapphire
6 Diamonds
9 Emerald

There's no Diamond spider < Level 20, yet there's an Emerald and a Sapphire. Furthermore, if you look at the top 10 you'll notice that the majority are Emerald (6), with Diamond being the second(3) and Sapphire having only one.


Now, for the horde bonuses; your argument is again flawed. If you analyse the whole picture you'll come to the conclusion that each horde focuses on a specific factor.

Emerald - Spells
Ruby - Melee
Sapphire - Defence
Diamond - SE

Expanding further:

Emerald - Spells; increased damage (10%), increased to-hit and faster acquisition (level 2) plus more SP in order to fire more spells.
Ruby - Melee; increased damage (5%) and increased to-hit.
Sapphire - Defence; reduced incurred melee (5%) and spell damage (5%), faster HP/SP regeneration and increased benefit from potions (25%).
Diamond - SE; cheaper SE costs from vendor(10%) and increased/decreased SE acquisition/loss respectively(30%).

Expanding even further:

Emerald - Spell focus; 1 spell per battle.
Ruby - Melee focus; 7+ melee attacks per battle.
Sapphire - Defence focus; 8+ defence chances per battle.
Diamond - SE focus; 1 time per battle.


So, your claim of the:

Ruby horde bonus being "least beneficial" is wrong. Ruby can be the strongest horde in this game if players start using their brains.
Diamond horde being the most successful spiders is wrong. Emerald has the most.
Diamond horde having the greatest benefit is wrong. Bonuses are balanced.

Horde bonuses needing fixing is wrong. As one can observe; the hordes are balanced.


The problem here is simply players jumping ship so they are part of the coveted "Elite". And the only solution is forcefully balancing the ratio.

As we're talking translations; here's another one that needs fixing:

!!HSZ!! (kinzokamra_help)

^ The info near the padlock icon in the duel section. Shows who's already in the torture chamber (50 AS acceleration option).

Idézet: stekkos - 2010.08.26. 04:17:50


I always wondered what on earth that item was useful for.

"Light-bulb moment"

Good info there.


Question about reward C:

Let's say someone activates X(50+) pylons successfully, yet always using the Min SE required for the activation. Does the player in question still receive a decent amount of the C reward at the end of the event? Or is it required to fill a certain quota of SE (apart from the pylon activations) to benefit fully from reward C?



Furthermore, in light of the certainty that all the members of the Emerald horde "automatically" benefiting from reward A due to the horde victory; someone really needs to heed my advice and start implementing a way to balance the horde numbers out. The current situation is already dire and it's clear that it will only worsen. As one can clearly notice there's practically no competition between the hordes.

The current statu quo is as follows:

Emerald - Clearly dominating
Sapphire & Diamond - Equally tied, yet still pose no threat to Emeralds
Ruby - Barely keeping up with S&D


As one can observe the in-balance between the hordes is excessive at best. This will only get worse as more players jump ship in order to reap the coveted rewards.

The crystalliser only gives you AS if you have the auction house relic, otherwise you only get burnt ones.


The only ways of acquiring AS is:

1) Pay
2) Bag of ancient stones - Type: relic :The Energy Crystallizer gives real ancient stones, not burnt-out stones
3) Events or some sort.


As for draining the soul-well... It's a once per month thing. What so outrageous about it? It's pretty much a "free" quest reward.

Is there anyone here who uses the skill below and can provide data?

A non-functional skill ain't something I intend to invest in. We need to gather some proof.


Energy harness:

You are experienced enough to harness the soul-energy of your opponents at maximum efficiency. If you win in a duel, and you'd receive less SE than a specified amount, you will get that amount anyway. This amount depends on your skill and the opponent's level. Maximum level of skill is 50.

Miklos, any estimates on event completion time?

If not, how long did the event last on the Hungarian servers?

The crystal works.

Used it for 5 levels myself. What you need is more items granting paralysis.

Shiny bronze ring and the Minotaur necklace will help. (Dim. gate)

Sorry lad, your level is too high. Can't attack each other.

Idézet: FriendlyCheese - 2010.08.20. 10:39:48

Character name in-game?

Idézet: V3nG3nC3X - 2010.08.19. 23:45:17




Osama bin Mohammed bin Awad bin Laden; or a.k.a Osama bin Laden. The other one like you wrote it ain't really used.

It's either that, or the "all of the above" option.

Idézet: Viridel - 2010.08.19. 22:17:16



Luck's at 48.

What's yours and how many did you kill before you found the relic?

I've seen builders with a relic after 29 kills.
