Re: x% hit in NL (the Percentage formerly known as Five)

Little did you know, Acaciam, I've been emailing Brad, telling him there is no problem, for months now. Through this, I perpetuate customer dissatisfaction, which I feed off of, growing stronger, and continuing the cycle.

Conspiracy (n)- a plot to carry out some harmful or illegal act (especially a political plot).

What you described basically equates to Brad being unable to find a kink in the coding.

Re: missing tiers...

I'm not saying that Brad will do anything different about the issue, just that bugs, especially ones like this, would best be fielded through him. Mars' stance makes sense given his inability to check backups to verify the tiers were lost. It's slightly unreasonable to think he'll just take a person...

Re: 5% hit in NL

There's also some evidence that not all of the uber speed changes are successfully taken out. In Cob, after the speed was taken out, Dion still trades with players while in danger (a "feature" of uber Cob).

Re: 5% hit in NL

A preliminary tests (nothing particularly damning) show what appears to be a min hit. Using a sk 38 barbarian, I repeatedly #arg'ed against my ment in what might as well be unhittable AC (Lvl 70 gear, 2 AA robes). Occasionally, a hit would sneak through. Then, using the same set up, but having the b...

Re: Players like options rather than retro changes

That changed, however, with the AA cloak. (To say one never gets hit in the BDC forest is not accurate. One gets hit much less frequently with the cloak than w/o, no question about it. But it's being portrayed in some of these prior posts as a cloak of invincibility, which it is not.) But to my poi...

Re: 5% hit in NL

In cases like this, I have the feeling Brad isn't looking in quite the right place. I definitely notice it, and it's not theoretically a huge deal until 1 sneaked in hit means death, but it is important.

Re: Players like options rather than retro changes

Do you realize how much AC the cloak has? If not for the 5% min hit chance that snuck into NL, one cloak would literally make a lvl 70 geared crit unhittable in BDC forest. Not to mention it's lack of a level req is a huge oversight. It's also worth noting, that Brad originally described this cloak ...

Re: Exp/Skill Buffer!!

There's a problem with the idea of a enormous skill buffer in that you'd be gaining skill from an area that typically wouldn't provide you skill if you weren't capped. IE. You are skill 35, and so you would use forge or similar to get a skill buffer, which don't normally provide skill past 35. But y...

Re: Barb Abilities 31+

Having played my barb for many years, I've only come across a few situations where cleave is viable to use considering the dumb dezerk affect of it. Zerk is the one ability barbs have always had and it's what they do. Naturally adding to the zerking capabilities of a barb just makes sense. An abili...

Re: Barb Abilities 31+

I would like to suggest getting rid of the cleave ablities on barb and giving us 5 or 10% damage boost instead. It's kind of funny you say that, because the improved Cleave functionality makes it one of their better abilities inside of a party in my opinion; better than +5/10% damage anyway. But I ...
