I'm using IE7 right now to quote you! Nope. Only in the case of righteous weapons, and Kloness items a bonus is applied based on your and your enemy's REP value. I've already posted some extensive information about this in the forums somewhere. Please search it first. Nope. I recently described this in another topic. Yes, in the early days of Nemesis 2 people were starting out with 500 REP. This is not the case anymore. Those people should consider themselves lucky for being here early.

No the two mentioned ways are map-independent. Only those exact two conditions apply, nothing else.

Once again, and this will be the last time, here is the 100% correct official information. Do not always assume information displayed on the official INT or USA websites is correct. These server administrators do not develop Helbreath. As you all know, our source code is precisely the same as the official server. We have not tampered with the droprate + Heldenian win aspect. It works as follows, even what other websites will tell you: In Helbreath, everything is based on chances. Drops are too obviously (I'm talking from now on only about 1st drops, at the moment the creature dies, not the 2nd drop or "body part" drop that includes all the very rare items). It's a chance because a dice is rolled just like you would do playing any paper-RPG. In case of drops, to determine if you get a drop or not, a dice is rolled, too. This is a 1D10000 dice, or in English: a dice with 10000 sides. A normal dice with 6 sides is 1D6. It's a huge dice! Normally, if this 1D10000 dice is 9000 OR HIGHER, you will get a drop. It doesn't matter what drop you get, once you get 9000 or higher, you get a drop. Be it a potion, Gold, a shield, a wand or a berk M HP91% (this is determined from then on)! Whatever! If you translate this to the world of chances, you can easily see that this is a 10% chance. Or in other words, 1 on every 10 creatures in Helbreath drops SOMETHING. So? Many wonder how this chance can be influenced. There are two ways to influence the 1st drop, AND TWO WAYS ONLY! 1) Win Heldenian. 2) Be in a party (of any size, including 1). The next question, the one were are so fiercly discussing about, is how much the chance is changed based on the above changes. I already said normally the 1D10000 dice has to be 9000 or higher. The two above factors adjust the 9000 value, decreasing it by 900 independently. So this means: *) No Heldenian and no party = 1D10000 >= 9000 = 10% chance *) Win Heldenian and no party = 1D10000 >= 8100 = 19% chance *) No Heldenian and party = 1D10000 >= 8100 = 19% chance *) Win Heldenian and party = 1D10000 >= 7200 = 28% chance As you can clearly see above, this is not a 50% increase in your chances. It's a 9% increase. Hope that clears it up.

Why? :S Serves no purpose I think! What possible useful information will this give you? -10000 < 10000 Added

You can hover your mouse over any of the white-bold dates to see all the events. You don't have to click on it to see them. But it is a good idea to add color as well to see it in 1 look. Tnx.

If it will be changed is up to farjat. It is not hard to do.

Yep. During the last 2 days there was some extensive maintenance at the server. Farjat already posted in another topic about this. It's better to have Nemesis online with more lag than to put it offline during maintenance. Should be OK from now on.

lol spam + flame bait. closed

Hi all. The EK list is back. This time it shows more info. For example, it also shows top 25 PL raider EK! Check it out.

Enough talk about this for now. We had some discussion ingame too and some of the main ppl who started this post have been listened to and talked to. farjat, Hunter and I can all garantuee you that we do not favor any specific town. Our characters do not make much difference in the towns, because we do not play significantly on them. Our GM's don't use power to favor any specific town, or guild. GM's usually help with Wyv hunt, because sometimes the Wyv has antimagic. This is annoying and both aresden and elvine have been helped with this, not only aresden. If a GM *DOES* abuse power, please post in the abuse section with some proof. We will investigate it further afterwards. This is closed.

Of course, on our normal characters we do anything we can to help Aresden, since we're Aresden. On our normal chars, we are players just like you. Our GM characters (and related powers) are not used to favor Aresden or Elvine in any way. A very rare specific case, like the one you mention, that barely affects anything, is hard to prevent. But it doesn't happen often enough to be problematic. Unless you can come up with some statistics or hard facts I doubt anything needs to be different.

Too much flames in this topic. Everything went pretty well. We only disallow and prevent camping on ares and elv TP. Summons and defending the castle door is OK, blocking it is not (but it wasn't done in this held). Let us all learn from this held and continue playing until the next one. Closed!

What disadvantages are we talking about? As a normal player I barely play so it doesn't make a difference if I'm Aresden or Elvine. I'm against or for any of the towns and just do what I'm supposed to do during events, and outside them. I appear in Elvine to help with GM just as well as Aresden. Can't speak for the others, but anyway what disadvantages?

Yea true, but I can only check 1 TP not 3 TP at the same time. People complained about ares TP so I went there. Later on farjat joined me on checking elv TP. Door was not checked, not enough GM online.

Is in the list...

Yea you're 100% right Cue. Inflation IS the problem. But it's hard to solve. Money eaters is solving inflation, but nothing forces you to eat money. In real life, you pay tax :D

Somehow you guys are under the impression that we've changed stone and zem droprate to lower along with the Gold droprate. Not the case. Anyway, it's not related to gold drops. The zem+stone droprate is like this very long already. A few days ago I made it a little higher. But it's not related to this topic.

Jajaj I get it now :-)

OK! Now you've got a better reason. We are just focusing on Ogre ring then? We've had this suggestion before in another topic. I think it's still in here, was not so long ago.

OK, then I must be wrong if you are so sure. It doesn't matter, though. What matters is, the TW and HC drops are altered on purpose. No plan to change it, yet. Need a good reason to do so, boredom is not a very good reason :-(

OK. What's normal then? Define it and we can consider. In my eyes, this is normal already.

Yea I know about MS10, DM1, RM10, etc... but not about Ogre ring and Zem. Must be HB USA only thing then.. dunno anything about HB USA. Anyways. It's changed on purpose, it's not a bugged droplist.

I already changed zem droprate a few days ago. It's higher now. Zems are not really needed by noobs (they got no items), so it's OK if players that know how to hunt wyv can get more of them quickly because they usually need them more. I don't really understand why you guys say all this... zem isn't rare. Lots of ppl have them, lots even have multiple zems. We also give away lots in events (in 5th anniversary event about 30+ were given away). Right?

TW has never dropped ogre ring and zemstone (2nd drop) in the history of HB (not including custom priv server). Where u got this info? I never understand that :X rumours rumours ... The TW droppings like this is here very long already, why is it suddenly bad? We know what TW and HC are SUPPOSED to drop, but we changed it. Why do we need to change it back? You didn't specify the reason.

Anything that is in your bag. And you have increased Gold drop rate now. It's much easier again for higher levels to obtain Gold now.
