Topic: Monsters' Den Chronicles / Improve heal

Healing skills can also be improved with equipment — censers, magical/storied/rare items with the Healing prefix, and various set and epic items — which IMHO is much more effective than adding intellect.

That wouldn’t prevent an attack from landing, though, just the status — it would pop up a message that said e.g. “Cold Resist” instead of dodging altogether.

I can’t seem to unlock the achievement where you are selling 75 items in one go. I have tried different styles at it from just pressing down ctrl to clicking at the button individually.

If you go to the Sell tab in the Emporium, there is a “Sell bag contents” button right beside the number of items in the bag. Hit that to sell everything at once, and if it’s 75+ then you get your achievement.

Topic: Monsters' Den Chronicles / The evade/miss rate is fucked up!

Garin has repeatedly insisted that the hit percentages are correct; whether they are or not, they’re extremely unlikely to change at this point. The premium content includes an option to have hit percentages calculated differently, but I haven’t paid up to see how much of a difference that makes.

Best advice I can give is to find equipment with accuracy bonuses and use higher-accuracy attacks, and hope the RNG is on your side.

It looks like the Chrome-based clones might be okay, at least for now. I’m playing with the Comodo Dragon browser and not having this problem, dunno about Chromium or SRWare Iron.

Topic: Epic War Saga / Sell feature?

You guys are better off voting with your dollars than arguing with another player — tell artlogic you’re not buying another crystal until they add the sell option.

Topic: Monsters' Den Chronicles / 2H Staff for Conjuror

Even though it’s not strictly what you asked about, if you’re looking for straight attack damage I think it’s worthwhile to look at combining a one-handed scepter with the offhand Orb of Agnotia, which adds both weapon damage and armor piercing. In particular, pairing it with the Blightreaper (for poison) or the Scorchwand (for ignite) can give your conjurer some extra damage.

That said, mine is actually running a Nomad’s Crook in the front line, like freijie said. Combining it with the Burial Shroud, Iron Curtain, Hard Iron Link and Southling’s Shieldcloak makes him very hard to kill.

Topic: Monsters' Den Chronicles / Purify not stopping fleeing

Flee is one of the more annoying things in the game. Basically, once they turn around they’re going no matter what. There’s a brief discussion of it at http://www.kongregate.com/forums/169-monsters-den-chronicles/topics/271122-fix-flee

Eh, by the time you pop a Spark of Legend in there, it scarcely needs much else. I’m fond of Wraithstones for the second slot myself, but they’re not strictly necessary.

Well the x’s are because I’m not posting my email in a public forum. =P It’s my ISP email, and I receive email from everyone else quite regularly. The message is gone today, so maybe it was just a hiccup in the system.

Topic: Technical Support / We've been unable to deliver emails to xxxx@xxxx.com

Starting last night, I’ve had the message “We’ve been unable to deliver emails to xxxx@xxxx.com. Please update your address to protect your account.” at the top of the page. I’ve had no issues receiving emails from anyone else, so I don’t know why that’s showing up. Not a real pressing issue, just thought you should know.

Might this be some form of seduction? This shouldn’t work on children anyway! :O

Why shouldn’t seduction work on children?

More importantly, why should it work on gay men any better than straight women? I say Amaya is male, and left the mountain because his secret was revealed.

I’m not disallowing anyone from discussing things. I just don’t see why people should take players who don’t understand the game mechanics seriously.

Perhaps “ignore” is a better term than “disallow”, but otherwise Karkadinn is spot-on. Any SRxx is no guarantee that someone knows (or doesn’t know) what they’re talking about.

Originally posted by Maltose:

You’d be surprised how often playing like an idiot works. Oh, it won’t work for the whole game, but you can do a lot of damage with someone like onimaru before your opponent realizes that you’re not playing mind games.

But if they’re expecting a mind game, and you’re intentionally playing as if you’re not using mind games, isn’t that in itself a mind game?

Topic: Kongai / Misses Removed

There’s some bitter irony in a person with the screen name FateIsEscaped arguing against random misses.

All I’m going to say is, if something as minor as misses were the game’s biggest problem, it’d be much more popular than it is.

“Expensive” doesn’t have to be monetary, it can also indicate time spent playing and completing challenges (when they have them). Besides which I would disagree with LC, I’m doing quite well with my 17 cards.

Ultimately no game is going to please everyone, and from your various comments here I have to say I don’t think Kongai is for you.

I think he was referring to Urban Rivals.

If so then I have no idea, never played it. With the deleted posts it’s all chopped up, hard to tell who’s talking about what.
