On the other hand, i believe limiting it from 45-54, etc. will just be the same as before. People will still be stopping at 54 to stall and what’s the use? Most people are op w/ wings NOT because they have them but b/c they spend time to boost their base stats to make wings work. This “limit” will only encourage the more of stalling. I’ll rather they wipe out this limit system and get killed as a level 55 vs a 70 then a level 55 vs a 64 who has level 9 wings. This sytem just encourages stalling in my view.

Topic: Wartune / One-Click Astral Broke, cant get red astral from it.

I’ve heard that the chance is (if I remember correctly) 0.001 or 0.0001. At 0.001%, odds of getting one are 1/1.000.000. At 0.000%, odds of getting one are 1/10.000.000. Which is a pretty low chance.

I also want to point out this is a percentage. So you dont really have to get 1 for every 1000000 you do. In other words, you can have a chance of summoning bajillion bajillions astrals and still not getting one red.

Topic: Wartune / cashers vs not cashers

i agree with TheChad. I think the reason is that they get careless. “Oh, i get extra 1000 br from wings already” makes cashers not willing to work on unlocking their true potentials in the various ways the non-cashers do it.

Topic: Wartune / Knights are Underpowered

Like many other people like you, this idea will most likely be rejected. I’ll recommend not bringing this up for a while…

As for how this class is weak, I don’t think knights are weak.

Counterpoint to your point 2
I barely seen FULL tanks. All i see is patck/pdef hybrids or pdef/hp hybrids. As you mention, they have low mdef. But why? It’s because you guys spend time on getting their other stats up instead of mdef. I don’t see why knights can’t get intell just for the mdef part of it or why they can’t get mdef gems.

Counterpoint to your point 1
I don’t see why knights can’t be good in pvp if you build full defense and focus on shield, rebound dmg, and draining rage along with astrals that are all defensive It disables many people in 1v1 fights. Mages are really dependent on rage. Rebound damage should also work very well against the aoe attacks of the enemies.

Point 3
I have nothing to say to this.

Counterpoint to Point 4
Knights do have heal. Thats why you guys build on block, so you can heal.

Also, i want you to note this is my opinion. In many sites, I’m known for being very much the minority. I don’t know if this is the case here but….yeah

Topic: Wartune / cashers vs not cashers

I know most people won’t agree but non-cashers can get balens if they devoted more time into this site. Example: do the free surveys and watch the promotion videos for kreds. Therefore, again i know most people won’t agree, this game is totally free except for vip!

Topic: Wartune / Deflection on wb

what misterchi proved with his forum post is that the damage DOES apply. Read carefully. No one ever said it doesn’t work. We only said it won’t be count as gold/daru because it isn’t character inflicted damage.

Topic: Kongregate / Kongregate badged an "Adult Only" rated game

Are you serious? I mean if wartune is an adults only game…i think it’s time for the US to think of limiting people going on youtube and facebook. How many people stand there shirtless in these videos and pictures that are on facebook/youtube. I don’t even want to know haha.

So…if you read carefully i said i defeated a level 55….i never mention a 90k br. Plus, there is something i believe i should make clear. Doing something doesn’t prove you are good at it. You can ask the owner of this post if he met a 90k BR dude. I bet he hasn’t. So does that mean what he is doing doesn’t prove that you can get 90k BR? I don’t think so. Same with what you are saying. I can’t win a 90k BR. Does that mean I’m less significant in the wartune world? Should i go jump a bridge and suicide? I don’t think so either.

“This kid could have 90k BR but so what? It is not like he is stronger than some other kid.” <——

No, it´s wrong. He´s stronger than me and you combined, it doesn´t matter if you dislike the br calculation, it will still apply.

Once again it will argue that might not be true. Wings, for example leveling to the highest, can give you maybe few hundred br from matck alone. Perhaps add some intelligent potion to highest level to that and perhaps he got a, lets say +36 intelligence from his item. Now he’s an archer and is fighting an archer. Does this extra stats effect fighting against another archer? Of course not. Archers don’t use matck and don’t deal mtck for mdef to be useful. So the mdef and matck from intelligence is useless. But is it BR? Of course it is. Now do you see what I mean?

No idea about higher levels.

the help is correct, the tooltip of the buff is wrong. charisma would be a totally useless bonus for mp content anyway ^^

and about BR… it doesnt reflect the usefullness of each stat for your character but its still good for measuring one’s strength. thats because most players increase their stats equally due to increasing costs. Only in some cases a players BR will be far off from its real strength. For example when our server merged and people were going for top3 rewards, some would replace all astrals with % increases for something different because the %bonuses dont count towards our BR. Knight and Archers even used MATK Astrals to boost their BR

^ A perfect example of what i mean. I’m just arguing that this 90k br can mean nothing and can mean something. Yes, it is useful when trying to find someone quick but when you have time, I am just saying it is better to look at each stat carefully. Therefore, I’m also pointing out the bias that people have. People calling “35K BR only” should be careful who they are playing with.

I think the above argument can be summed up as there are stats which inflate BR but are not being used, so there is someone’s “real” BR which uses all of the stats they use and the shown “inflated” BR which includes non used stats like matk on archers/knights and crit on people with will destroyer. Taking that into account, most people can only inflate their br so much, as in my experience at least, there doesn’t appear to be a way to refine intel on patk items or strength on mage armor/weapon.So you can take BR as a ballpark figure, give or take 10% (at least that’s my general % leeway I give). Someone without a medal will fare significantly worse than somebody with one, the greatest difference being a swing of about 50% ( from the LD medal, taking less and dishing out more) + stats. Additionally the best stats to take a look at when scouting someone for whether you’ll beat them are: Relevant attack stat, Relevant defense stat, HP, (charisma/troop levels). Then it comes down to timing, skills, seals and crits/blocks.

If people are using this for a highest possible br at XYZ level in X gear. I commend you for trying. It’s probably faster to do it in excel than by calculator I might add.

As a nod to the PvE friendliness boosts, they DO show the extra BR during that dungeon. Whether this does something when you’re defending your city as you quest is a different matter for someone else to investigate though :)

Note2: Knights gain Pdef, HP Archers gain HP, Crit, Patk and Mages gain MDEF..?(o.o; thought they would gain something else too)
As such, in theory archers should have the highest BR with roughly equivalent stuff.

Random thing that annoyed me : you say that some astrals don’t give a drop in BR, I took this to mean you don’t lose BR.. maybe consider saying they don’t give any? Just for the sake of me :P

Good post though. Well written and acceptably formatted!

This is what i mean to say (well sort of). I mean if you are finding someone strong, BR doesn’t mean anything. look at their attack stat, defense stat, skills, etc. to determine if it fits for you. Some knights, building hp, will do better with a mage with a the HoT. While other knights, buliding patck will do terrible with a mage with the HoT. It’s just a bias way to view how someone is, in my view. It’s like saying “oh, you look dirty so you can’t be a billionaire.” but in reality you might’ve just slipped and landed in mud.

An archer can do the same damage and have just the same peneration and everything but still will have a lower BR. It doesn’t mean they are less stronger does it? As a conclusion, I’ll like to put out there that what really matters is your REAL stats. Not your BR

So you’re stupid? Good to know…(first bolded part)

If you haven’t notice, i have been against what the owner of this post is saying and not criticizing ANYONE in particular. You, on the other hand, called me a name that i believe should be labeled as offensive in my view. So, I will warn you to not do it again or ill take appriopriate action.

Btw, my PLAYSTYLE is different from all of you of course. You like using medallions that cost insignia and i don’t because i want to save up for the crusader mount. Does that mean you are stupid or i am stupid? No. It is just that i’m thinking a bit long term and you are thinking more temporary since medallions disappear

i don’t think you are being accurate here. The % stats for cashers seems to not be significant early on but after reaching like 10000 br and considering it as 2% will give you like 200 patck and 200 matck. It becomes a significant source of br then expecially when you have all those % adding together (dunno if multpilicatively or addictively but still) it can reach up to like 10%. I also don’t understand why you only did troops stats for templar. Some people like warlock you know .

I believe it is useless to even TRY to calculate this. There are too much factors. Did you factor in the fact that enemies might not build damage but defense instead? Does this br mean you are stronger? Not necessarily. So even if you successfully calculate it out it will be a useless number that will get you the STRONGEST warrior in baleneor or something but it can also mean nothing.

the difficulty in calculating % stat is precisely because i want to try and be accurate. the % stat on wings is only for ATK / DEF, and there are many OTHER sources for these stats, apart from the wings themselves, so it is kinda hard to figure that out and calculate it (takes some time at least). with 8 scrolls you could technically add 5% to all stats, or 5% to total BR, but i left that out as well. then there’s the +15% ATK / +20% HP / +20% DEF in passives… which are class-specific. of these 3 % modifiers, i am not even sure how they stack!

also, would appreciate if people could cut me some slack… my posts easily total 2000 words already, i had to seek out a whole load of stats on my own. do you expect me to be perfect with that amount of info? for instance, you could do the warlock stats for me, and i’d cut and paste it in.

as for the REASON to do this… it’s just so we get a sort of overview about where most of the BR comes from. i know i haven’t done the actual analysis yet, and some of the replies already do a bit of their own analyses… THAT’S the point! to inspire some analysis about BR, effectiveness, sources, cash or non-cash significance, etc.

for instance, gems are a HUGE source of BR, and 100% of this BR is EFFECTIVE (unlike Intelligence for Archers, for example). for cashers, a very stackable source of BR is the Mounts, which gradually build up rather significant stats. if we compare the equipment stats for 35pvp / 45pvp / 55pvp, you’d also see why it makes sense to rush-level to 55: the increase in BR (especially ATK stats) is very very significant. also, lv10 GS, which gives 9k BR, becomes a basic minimum for end-game; while the lv60 academy buffs only provide 2k BR (but quite some hidden strength in buffing your troops).

as for your comment that “higher BR doesn’t make you stronger”… that’s pure rhetoric. higher BR basically means you ARE stronger; but that new BR is not necessarily always effective in different situations… that’s the discussion part that i hope to provoke here.

as i commented in the skills section, ATK based BR is ALWAYS effective; unless you never attack. DEF based BR is next most effective, except when you don’t take any hits at all (which means you are overwhelmingly stronger or insanely lucky). HP is just as effective, but as hits get bigger and bigger later on in the game, each point of HP becomes less effective and requires LARGER DEF to maintain some effectiveness (e.g. 40k HP with 5k DEF will likely survive shorter than 35k HP with 8k DEF).

i digressed a bit into the analysis. but yea, that’s the kind of thing i wanted to talk about… before getting totally sucked into the heaps of BR data there is in the game (i’m still paranoid that i missed some huge ones).

Did you know i can win a level 55 that out br’s me and outlevels me. What is the reason? It’s because sometimes BR is inaccurate. This kid could have 90k BR but so what? It is not like he is stronger than some other kid. BR is not a rating on how effective someone is but an estimation of how effective the player can play. Trying to make it all precise is just pointless. A person with enhanced ruthlessness for example can get lucky and hit all their attacks on the +__% of their normal float dmg (Note: I said plus) and yet he can be lower in BR. I want to discourage the thought that BR is EVERYTHING in this game because it is NOT true. Also, as you stated some astrals aren’t even counted in the BR system. A player with 10k BR can perhaps have more overall damage and survivability during a single match then a 12k BR player with the use of these astrals. (Ex: GA, Aegis, Goddess Blessing, Ruthlessness, etc.)

Topic: Wartune / Will the eventually nerf archers?

Well, you have to clear something up first. There is a difference between the level 3 wings archers and the non-casher ones. Before you talk about someone (and i’m not accusing you that you didn’t check) you should check their page. Complaining about archers being op is a bit ridiculous. I say mage is op and some other people can say knights are op with its shield. It’s not a thing that can be argued about since we all have different things. The second thing i want to clear up is that BR and Level is not a very efficient way in calculating how strong someone is. An example is that an archer can stack magic damage and it will boost up their br. I doubt people do it on purpose but some items come with these boosts and perhaps they are too lazy to hunt for the right ones. Levels aren’t a good way to determine the strengths either because some people STAY in one level so that they can farm up and get good gems, astrals, etc. Therefore, i dislike how most of you are arguing this with these points.

Topic: Wartune / Suggestion: New Classes

I dislike this idea because we can’t change classes. In other words, all the old players must stay with the 3 initial classes while the other new players will be able to take advantage of this.

Topic: Wartune / wartune login issue 4-13-2013

i won’t say i like this but it will be fixed sooner or later. Raging won’t help. If you decide not to come back, then don’t. Meanwhile, go get some badges on kongregate :3 It’s better than stalking this forum and raging. (therefore, i disagree with death1698. We can still play!)

Topic: Wartune / [Info] Suggestions (#2)

i, personally, believe it is quite hard to surpass knight’s mdef and pdef (if this is what you are referring to as defense) unless you have the exponential benefits. Also, there are also % dmg decrease astrals. Perhaps the people you are fighting have those, which is really effective against high level, along with some wings. There is also the fact that i belive most knights don’t try hard to boost their mdef and pdef. I see people saying “oh, i don’t need to have my mdef and pdef around the same because my hp will make up for it.” all the time. To be truthful, i see some of them even focusing on damage (ex: put in patck gems perhaps even more than defensive gems).

P.S. I know my english isn’t that good but….well i guess you will get a rough idea of what i’m going at.

Feel free to ask, I’ll answer your questions.
Also, BrokenBulb, please don’t close this thread for now.

Q:Which clan is the best?
A: No clan is “the best”. The choice of clan just changes the appearance of your ninjas and the free relic you get, as far as I know.

Q: How do I get allies?
A: You get allies by following the person that you want to ally with, and they follow you as well.

Q: What do allies do?
A: Allies can play minigames to get you more Gold and EXP and you can do the same.

Q: How do I get Karma?
A: You get Karma by completing Achievements and by leveling up. As far as I know, you get 10 Karma when you level up.

I wanted to fix the answer for Q#1 and Q#4. The correct answer for #1 is what zoo889 said AND also your starter ninja. Lotus gets you a healthy ninja. Shadow gets you a balanced. Fire gets you a ninja that has strength. For Q#4, you get karma by getting achievements and leveling up but its not 10 or any exact number because it changes as you level up. I am currently getting 15 karma per level up. Also, there is another way of getting karma. It is by the 4 hoour bonus thing from the daimyo. One last way of getting it, and one obvious way which people tend to leave out, is buying it with real money.

Topic: Ninja Warz / WITCH is better 20 dps slow or fast

Guys, i think you should take account of dodges and armor. Basically because you get mroe hits with faster weapons, armor is therefore more effective against faster weapons. Why? It is because the faster weapons have lower damage and its 50% off the damage it is dealing at that time. So if you get a 345 crit it will lower by 1/2 whereas a fast weapon does 15 40 crits where 1/2 will be factor in for each of the crits. I know I’m setting the case here but think about it carefully. Also, dodges are better for slow weapons because it turns something that can be potentially high stored up damage into a 0 damage if you dodge successfully. So dodge is therefore better for slower weapons. From this, I personally believe that there is no better weapon. It really depends on the situation and to tell you the truth i don’t think we can’t test this beacuse every time you fight there are different chances of dodging and crit-ing. Therefore, if you counter me with “oh, but i test it with my ninjas.” I’m sorry, but i can’t believe you.

First of all, i could only understand half of what you wrote. Secondly, instead of doing all these theories how about you ACTUALLY test it.
sample test: fight someone close to you in skill (meaning you don’t win by very much hp). fight 5 times with a slow weapon, then fight 5 times with a fast weapon (same or very close dps). I guarantee you won’t see much of a difference.

Well, sir. I have a few points to point out too.
1) I don’t see you “ACTUALLY” (<- not my raging; i’m emphasizing his anger) testing it either. Screenshots?
2)I’m a bit bad at grammar but what i mean is that armor and dodge can do quite a lot. I don’t know what max dodge is (since i apparantly don’t read enough threads) but i heard the max armor is 50%. So if you think about it, since enemies can’t crit every strike, whenever he crits, you have a good chance of dodging it and even if you don’t you can lower the damage by a bit. If you have no armor at all, what’s health gonna do if they crit you like 500 every other hit and you can’t make it go down? The max health I’ve seen on a ninja so far is around 3000-4000. So you won’t survive as much hits logically.
3) Testing it won’t be effective in the end anyways. Why? Because of all these chances. Crit and dodge are all chances. If either side of the team have a bit of these, it will be a factor that have to factor in because it’s random. If you are lucky you can have a round where you dodge every strike. If you are not lucky you can have a round where you get hit critically every strike and not get a single dodge in. It’s all about luck; therefore, testing it is not a choice here.

I’m not sure about this. First, you claim to have a graph. Where is it? Second, who says your “fast” weapon strikes 4 times per second? what if it takes 1 second to strike once and the “slow” weapon strikes every two seconds? There are many unanswered questions. Dodge isn’t the same and crit isn’t the same. There is no “100%” because its not even counted in percentage. It is clearly said in the items that it is something like “crit:+10.” We can’t assume +10 means 10%. it can be 10/200 or 10/1000. So please if you can answer all these questions this threat will only be convincing. Other then that, there is no proof whatsoever because you are just making numbers. Thank you, have a nice day.

I understand what you are getting at and I’m happy to clarify what this thread was meant to represent. First of all, I did not claim to have any graph and am really confused about how you came to that accusation. The closest I ever came to saying I had any such graph was my commenting on another poster’s reply to this thread regarding a graph that other person claimed to have had. Secondly, as an answer to your question about “who says your “fast” weapon strikes 4 times per second,” well that person must be me of course. I am not saying that any of the weapons in this game have the fixed qualities I demonstrate in my test, I am merely going out of my way to prove that speed and damage are both important. So there is a 100% as long as I say there is because it is my test, and it is not for anyone else to say that there is “none of this” or “none of that” because, once again, this was a test to help those who were only wondering why speed is also important, as many are under the impression that damage is most important. I am not assuming anything in this thread about how the weapons in this game work, as you might have known if you had taken the time to carefully read and understand the replies of posters prior to yours, but I will say again that these numbers are fixed so that it is easier to understand both aspects of the game, those aspects being speed and damage. So yes, I am only just making numbers, but these numbers are to help those who are just looking for an easy answer. I am sorry if they are not as quick to catch up on these things as you might be, but I wish to help them, nonetheless. Thank you, have a nice day~

Well in the first page apparantly you said you looked at the graph and found it useful and supportive. Well i bet half of us here surely don’t want to miss out on a graph that supports what you are talking about if i’m correct. Surely you can link it up somewhere so we can see what you mean. Why mention it if no one knows what you are talking about anyways? And second in official english if we don’t know gender of the opposite we can refer to them as “he.” Though this rule has been slacking off while the new generation comes about it still remains as the historical English grammar.

Edit: Seems that i’m messing up with commas here >.<" but i mean "Though this rule is not commonly in use, due to the new generation of people that say it’s sexist, it is still part of historical English grammar
Edit#2: i looked at setherythe’s comment and found it very explicit. i find no places that need explaining; therefore, i truely think that he is correct.
Edit#3: Here’s a link to prove that historical English grammar use masculine nouns for unclear genders (also you can see that it’s an edu site which is a much more reliable resource): http://writingcenter.unc.edu/handouts/gender-sensitive-language/
