Well, a player, Perfectra, pmed me a while back asking me why she lost in a fight: I thought about it too, and couldn't come up with an answer. After all, if none of his creatures survived, that probably meant that he was dealt 100% damage, right? I asked for more fight detail, and after a few days the player emailed me it. I copied and pasted it below, just because it's length. As you can see (if you look down), it's a rather long fight. In fact, it says that the fight ended because it was too long. Making a cursory glance, I see the only creature who has the ability to use regen is Er3vos's Hollow Warrior, which by default heals dying creatures; it shouldn't be related to the regen bug. at the last round, Er3vos's Dark Archer, Hollow Warrior, Heretic Archer, Elemental II and Elemental I were still alive, contradictory to the fight log's report for creature experience gain, which says, "No creatures survived the fight for this player, no xp reward." The percentage of damage, 57.8571428571% vs 43.6106983655%, also conflicts with the previous statement. I'm assuming the first percentage is Perfecta's, although I'm not sure. Right now, I'm guessing that 57.8571428571% vs 43.6106983655% reflects how the fight truly went, so the main thing that breaks with how the fight should've gone in my eyes is the "No creatures survived the fight for this player, no xp reward" for Er3vos. Maybe he would've gotten 100% casualties had the fight gone on? I sort of wonder if Er3vos did or did not get exp for his creatures, but I don't really have any way of confirming. If anyone has a close fight with someone else which ends because the length is too long, I'd like it if you could look at the fight log and check if the percentage and creature exp gain seem to match up. Even if it doesn't affect creature exp gain and it's just the log, I think it should still be changed. Newbies and people like me can get confused.

He could do that, but consider that even that takes time. Manu is a busy, busy person Personally, the spelling/grammar errors have ceased to annoy me and I look forward to other things being released more than spellchecking to occur.

Both of you should stop doing fanart of people I dislike. D: I mean, all the people you mention in your plans: Wodin, MB, ect.. You must be hanging around them too much; they have the power to dull the brain. I can help with suggestions since it's not really your fault you aren't thinking logically. I mean, the obvious choice would be me in my glory. You can add Lu, but only in the background. Revelation!

Hello~ You may think that magicduel is just a browser game that will take a few minutes a day, but you might find yourself spending more and more time I did.

I'm quite sure BigC was returned to his pit. I was tracking the shade, as was Braiton, and found both him and the mutilated infirm in the Trial of Agony. I told him that his honor was in the negative before following the shade to the Eternal Toiler, where he retreated. I don't think the shades would allow BigC to be saved without interference. I think a rescue party would be a different sort of quest, with an objective contrary to that of respecting the shades' wishes while on their territory in return for knowledge. I, for one, wouldn't want that, although I'm not adverse to helping him. EDIT: I just returned to Necrovion and confirmed it: BigC is still in the Trial of Agony.

lol so skeptical. But I did think that maybe the leaves should only be gold, you know, to keep in magicduel's theme. I'd prefer to believe that it really did happen >

Bob! <3 I hope one day it does that for me.

This is a bug that has occurred to other players. Manu will be emailed and he will manually give you 10 more friend slots. EDIT: Ren can do it

Actually, people in gray have been online within the past 24 hours. Nonetheless, I also feel like there are enough people with a bad balance to make others want to get more losses. For the past few days, I've had less than a hundred more losses than wins, and almost everyone gives me negative honor. Currently, my balance is at Won: 1668 | Lost: 1761. Sometime while I wasn't paying discretion to who I was attacking and what honor penalty (generally penalty, not bonus) they gave, my honor dropped from 5000 to 2700 within a few hours. I had to attack phlegm twice and the KC several times to get it back up to max. I haven't noted any exp/skill bonus for my balance so far (the newslog doesn't go into the specifics of the bonus system mechanics), and what I might get later if I continue my effort to balance my counter seems little in comparison to the prospect of trying to keep out of negative honor and the deprivation of combat gain at -500 honor. It does make me want to get more losses rather than balance. I noticed that the exp bonus for honor reward greater than 200 was replaced with one for values greater than 400, but I don't think that will solve anything, except to make players try to get 800 more losses:wins than other people's loss:win ratio. I think that there should be a cap placed on the exp bonus you can get for honor rewards greater than 400, something substantially less than what you could get with a balanced profile. I'm pretty sure that most have been ignoring Manu's encouragement for a balanced counter, and it makes sense. There are going to be people who are too lazy or find it hard to maintain wins and losses so that they're at close figures, and in order to gain honor from those people, other people will purposely collect losses. If the majority doesn't keep a balance, it's very tough for those who try to stay faithful to the concept that balance is beneficial, and the majority turns out to be so. I may or may not continue this effort to get a balance. It depends on how many others are going to try to do the same. In fact, I'd like to make a list right now of those who have less than 100 more losses than wins. I'd bet it wouldn't be very long.

That's odd.. Manu made an announcement not too long ago that all mp4 and 5 would gain a shop reset. If it still isn't there, I think it might be a bug and you were missed or something. Someone, ah, not me, could contact Manu if so.

... look at these two, saying bad things about people without citing any examples D: I'm so hurt. I don't mind if you ask them, though. It does mean less work for me. Uh, not that I especially mind when anybody asks me questions, since I'm so helpful and caring in nature. But I'm sure the others like to be asked questions once in a while; probably makes them feel superior to be able to answer. ;

I still need to post some fanart D: Stop continuously adding things, it makes me feel really slow and neglectful.

Hullo~ You can ask any of the people who seem friendly and reply to this topic, or use the Live Help button if you have questions.

Yeah, right > You should've seen Lulu cower before his threat-filled, raging rant about how she lacked respect, as shown by negative comment on the appearance of his cape and sword ("lame," she called them) while he was idle. My poor pet...

Probably so; I think it resets all the items? And since someone asked before, I'm going to post here that more shop resets are granted by Manu at his whim there aren't any set triggers or things like that. EDIT: chewett says it resets specific items here.

mm, I saw that when I reread your post. I need to brush up on my reading skills.. I've been misinterpreting people in chat, too >

Hmm, well, I don't think it's really all that bad. It's true that some don't have the creatures the oldest players in their mindpower have, but those who do have to creatures can compete against each other. As magicduel's playerbase widens there will be more players at once who can provide competition. The weaker players can train up their creatures to participate in the next one against each other. Also, for the higher mp levels, I imagine that most will have the same maxed creatures and there'll only be stat/skill difference between the oldest and newest in the mindpower.

> I don't know whether or not to believe you~ You probably just wanted to make me wait and be pained from suspense until you showed it to others...

Morgana is talking about VP A bit off-topic, but since others were talking about it, it's fine.

Welcome to the forum You can become a post-spazzer like me.

You have to have at least 7 heads Head Contest rules say that you may attack people with a certain amount of heads, which has been determined by several players.

I have no idea but that's a lot :@ (non-contributing person) EDIT: Lu needs to stop logging onto my account.

O_O I like the red eye. Maybe the red eye should've been bigger. More menacing. Yuh. When did your scanner start working? >_>...

Hello

Then there isn't a cap for saccing? n_n; I think this was the thing I was thinking about, although I added another digit and applied it to saccing, not storymode. I did say my memory was unreliable and murky
