    Oh? I'm not aware of that. Can you tell us what you think is incorrect?

    Bans Of January 2009

    EK lamers don't do the obvious laming anymore. That's a thing of the past. Only very infrequently someone who doesn't know Nemesis too well or doesn't know about our automated EK lamer search will do some obvious laming. No the biggest challenge for us is the creative EK lamers. People try to obfuscate (hide) their lamed EK's more and more. We still get them, though.

    Change The Raid Days

    Why? What does this change then? The only reason for this change what I have seen so far, is so that Oni can enjoy a day of peaceful training during the weekend, as he is seemingly unavailable for the rest of the week. And yes, I say Oni only because above he said "the majority of the people", while in fact he means himself. I've already posted that it's unlikely to be the case for a majority of the people. A majority of the people play during weekdays AND weekend. For them, the change is not important. Another group of people only play during the weekdays, or maybe even just on thursday. For these people, the change would be unwanted. We can shuffle the raids days around all we want, but it will not change anything. Yes, well, for one particular set of players the outcome is positive, but for another particular set of players the outcome is negative. For the majority, the outcome is meaningless. It's basically the same problem as the Heldenian scheduling problem. We cannot pick a time/day where 100% of the players will be able to participate. The only meaningful changes would either be to: *) Add additional raid days; *) Remove a raid day; *) Remove raid days alltogether and either allow or disallow raiding permanently;

    Change The Raid Days

    OK, I will add some facts. This is not true. I will add some graph to the website soon to monitor this, because you got me interested in obtaining these facts. But I already know one thing: just take today for example. At some point today there were 198 people online. This is about the same as are simultaneously online during the weekend. Thus, the facts lean more towards that players play equally as much midweek than on weekends. Of course, it might be a different set of players, so your perception is different because you only speak for yourself and the "weekend players". Yes true, we're working on fixing all of the above. Facts: TOTAL amount of 180 players: 2217 TOTAL amount of 179- players: 24316 Number of 180 players active since 1 feb 09: 693 Number of 179- players active since 1 feb 09:1159 So, not true!

    Change The Raid Days

    It's not the server's wishes. They are just Hunter's opinion, he is contributing to the ongoing discussion. That is the whole point of this forum. Basically, if you see a GM replying here it will not be a final decision yet. It is still open for discussion, unless the topic is locked (or if you see an announcement on the frontpage for example announcing a newly added feature ^^) So... I'm just trying to say that just because Hunter has posted, don't stop and back down now!

    Farm Dungeon Revamp

    I'll give it a first shot. Level limit 120. Yes indeed, 120 because we need something different from PL. My argument for the demons in the middle would be to create PVE-parties in the map. You will get parties of level 120 dudes trying to get a hold of their Giant Sword or Battle Axe (depending on build). BBH will not be a focus inside this map, probably. The center will become a hunting ground where both sides will hopefully compete for. You can also "slip through the backdoor" to enter the Scorpion pit of the opposing side to go after some mages. It has some tactic potential. Btw, I just put some numbers/counts on there for the sake of discussion. I'd like to see discussed how many creatures would be a good number for the pits.

    One Question Please Help

    We still need to sort out some of the mess we have. We have two different updaters and we need to add more mirrors to the full download. Guess we'll do that with a next client release we'll be doing in the near future.

    Armor Dyes

    Armor dyes are a lame way of making some variations to armor. If you see, for example, a green Plate Mail, it resembles Merien Plate Mail too much. I have full gold armor set as a GM, and I don't even wear it, I find it too ugly. Nemesis != fruit server. I'd say no! We can be more creative than this? What about some new rare unique armors related to the Dragons or something way cooler?

    Some Questions

    Yep, exactly! New map with only dragons! You can get there through the portal in the center of D4. Note that you must be lvl 180. When apocalypse portal is open (see website) you can get to the portal in the top of icebound. Icebound can be reached at the right of TOH entrance. True they don't drop anything at the moment. No. When you win the Heldenian, your town gets a teleport to BF availabe in Cityhall for the entire week. BF is filled with monsters during the week. Beware though, it can get hefty down there. TW spawns anyone? :P

    Change Cannibal Plant Name

    Also, it's part of HB... it has been like this for many years. Why change it now? I kinda got used to the way it is and it's become a typical HB thing - part of HB. I don't even wanna change this, for nostalgic reasons!!

    Mages Hero Set

    The mage set also gets a magical hit ratio bonus, just like the warrior set gets it for physical damage.
  22. Jaapy

    Please Explain Dr

    Yes it is a little confusing. An easy way to look at the value is by comparing it to DEX, because DEX also gives you defense ratio points. Your base defense ratio is DEX * 2, so that's why people say dr63 is 31 dex. Defense ratio is indeed not a percentage like HP or MP.. If you have a Defense Ratio+63 item, it adds 63 to your defense ratio when defending physical attacks. So really basically: your defense ratio = (DEX * 2) + DR on all equipped items The defense ratio is compare to hit ratio of the attacker to determine the hit.

    Nope, this is not a fruit server.

    What To Do After Getting Hero Set?

    All the suggestions get attention from the GM team. I, for one, read each and every one of them personally. Even the Spanish ones! But I don't understand most of them... anyway. You said you'd like to know if I could do this. I assume you are wondering if I am able to make this functionality ingame. Yes I can!
