Topic: Dawn of the Dragons / Blood of the Bandit Queen 24-hour WR (Resummoned)

what were the hemidemisemiquaver for?

so F***ing annoying! couldn’t they have stated it in the patch notes “an event raid 24 hours from now” or something!?

Topic: Dawn of the Dragons / Bugs

WS III bugged. Probably is just the tooltip, i din’t try the damage yet, still is the same legion power of WS II

WS3 is doing roughly 500k more damage per 20-point hit for me then WS2 did.

Bug perhaps? H DL hit me the kitchen sink a few minutes ago. 45 epics and 6 orange horns when I only managed to do 39M before it was dispatched by a frenzy of people. http://i.imgur.com/gzot2GM.png

i’m only seeing 6 epic drops on that loot list, and those are the 6 teeth. epic drops from H DL is the golden wyrm set, though with only 39m on H DL you should have only gotten 2 epics.

Add 1 crafting recipe for each questing zone, after acquiring all the items needed for all the quests through nightmare allow us to craft a “consolidation” item that helps to reduce inventory clutter, but allows you to do any quest in that zone

1 problem, some of those items are used to get SoCK3 and SoR2.

another problem, selling takes a long time since you can only sell 1 piece at a time and selling requires conformation.

Btw Pvp anywhere on Kong is just a fish bowl or a pond. I had the idea of:
Why not link just the Facebook or Twitter pvp servers with Kongregate?

A friend of mine said that would be a bad idea, but I think he
was just scared. lol!

what’s there to be scared of? all of the super powerful facebookers are so far out of our level bracket that not even sui would have to be worried about being attacked by them. but i doubt that your idea would be possible unless the aforementioned sites would agree to work together to achieve it. and i doubt that that will happen.

The problem is that gold, after a certain point, is known as ‘that stuff you have too much of’, and the exp gain can be easily outpaced by raid hits.

I earn 9,098,000 gold every hour, and the most you can get from one skirmish or joust is 10,000. I don’t even spend 3,000,000 a day on health refills, so I really don’t care if people beat me in skirmish.

i know that gold becomes worthless after a certain point, but you’re wrong about the exp gain. it simply takes longer with skirmish/joust then hitting raids but you get the same amount of exp for your stamina/honor as you get from raids (not counting QM/haste)

I also notice that attacks in Skirmish and Joust are on
the decline, “sharply”.

I don’t bother with those modes anymore because all we
get is lost health.

I thought this topic was about the different magiccs…. I guess now it’s a debate over the value of QM in raids.

this is a discussion about magic. QM is a magic and thus up for discussion on this thread.

Remember when a couple months back the Devs decided to inflate the damages that all troops and generals do?

when exactly did this happen? because if you’re talking about the time they boosted the attack and defense of all troops and generals by 5x, then you should know that they also decreased the amount of damage each attack and defense point did by 5, thus resulting in all troops and generals having the. exact. same. amount. of. damage. as they did before.

Topic: Dawn of the Dragons / Is PVP really worth the trouble?

how much you lose/gain is decided by yours and your opponents rank, if you’re higher ranked then your opponent, you get less points for each victory and lose more points for each loss.

if you’re having a hard time with PvP, you just have to get more powerful.

Topic: Dawn of the Dragons / Magics. What to add and when.

QM might not benefit them on the raid that their hitting, but it does speed up leveling and that might, in the end, let them get more powerful more quickly thanks to the more common refills.

One thing that I DO NOT see the logic in is having QM (Not Haste) on high effort raids like the z10 ones. The rationale of the speed leveler is to level quicker so they can do more. That’s fine on raids up to Valanazes but the z10 ones require such an exorbitant amount of effort that QM actually hinders that purpose. Participants need to burn through more stamina to reach their desired damage because a spot that could be used for another damaging magic is being taken up by QM which only provides XP. Ergo, you put forth more effort (and stamina) to hit your damage tier and don’t have anything to show for it but slightly higher (and arguably wasted) XP.

I feel that if the spot normally used by QM was to be replaced by something more substantial (an IL-EW proc is far better than IL alone) then both speed levelers, and BSI farmers like myself would see higher bounties from these raids.

the logic is that the only way for low-level players to reach a tier in z10 raids is through autoleveling (leveling up before running out of stamina/energy/honor gained from a previous level up (explained for those unfamiliar with the term)) and QM helps with autoleveling. that’s also the logic behind the QM+haste NM DLs and is surprisingly effective between level 250 and 500.

Where does Insanity Laughs fit into all this?

either just before or just after GID, it has the highest damage of all spells but also the lowest proc rate of all spells, add the fact that it has 4 effects (random item, more gold, more damage taken or a massive damage boost) and only 1 happens each proc makes the chance to get that massive boost very unlikely.

still a very good spell but should only be used on raids where you’re expected to use a lot of stamina/energy/honor.

Topic: Dawn of the Dragons / baught stamina by mistake

Originally posted by Sp33dyG:

Better yet, why don’t you just click the health bar itself to refill your health rather than going to the bazaar. It’s not really rocket science…

no one goes to the bazaar, everyone either clicks the HP bar or simply lets it run out since if you have 10 or less HP, trying to attack a raid will give you the option of refilling your health for the same amount as clicking the HP bar or going to the bazaar does.

the only thing i dislike about the raids bot is, that he can share my raid even if i havent posted it yet… like it did with my NM DL….

What? The bot participates in the chat rooms only. It doesn’t interact with the game. It can’t see raids that you have summoned until you post the URL in chat. If you didn’t post the raid URL anywhere, then the bot couldn’t have shared it.

unless he/she/it whispered the raid to someone who then posted it in a chat room ^_^

Topic: Dawn of the Dragons / 1 idea, 2 idea, 3 idea Ah Ah Ah

better yet, give us the 2 stamina/5 energy pots for 5m gold each or something ^_^

Topic: Dawn of the Dragons / SM set: Which gear to get?

after the mount, get the ring. very hard to get good raiding rings for free.

Topic: Dawn of the Dragons / How to prepare for a 12 day Kessov WR?

Originally posted by Bolgenz:

If you have them, use penelope’s band, archdemon slayer armor, and similar things. A high crit boost never hurts.

while that would normally work against kessov, this particular kessov is dragon/siege, not demon/siege making (arch)demon slayer armor only useful for it’s base stats.

Originally posted by Rhonem:

aww no iv just looked and i have nothing that adds damage to sieges kessov dragons or anything else that does bonus damage to him so right now im struggling to get WSII and on legendary already so hopefully ill get it

WSII is the second best legion for this WR unless i’m mistaken. the best is crafted from on-hit drops gained from hitting this particular WR :P

Originally posted by helpman29:
I’m not 100% sure if beseigers is the best gear that procs, if you have insasia’s or archmage’s those are much better.

besiegers is one of the best easy-to-get free sets for kessov so it’s very good for beginners. though most of the higher leveled player will have far better equip then besiegers.

Topic: Dawn of the Dragons / How to prepare for a 12 day Kessov WR?

Originally posted by 18eities:
so penelope’s band is better. how much effect does crits have on your hits?

crit is +100% damage, does not boost or get boosted by mount procs. so +X% crit chance is +X% more average damage.

Topic: Dawn of the Dragons / First thoughts..

“meh, i’ll get to level 30 for the bagdes” 7 months and 755 levels later: “damn, can’t wait for the 12 day WR” :P

Topic: Dawn of the Dragons / How to prepare for a 12 day Kessov WR?

the epic legion is basically WS2 with tank slots instead of ranged and +400% vs. underground.

so unless switching out 2x ranged gens for 2x tank gens and 6x ranged troops for 6x tank troops gives more then the +300% bonus vs. dragons that WS2 has, grinding for WS2 would be both more effective as well as faster since you don’t have to do each area on NM for WS2 like you have to do for dungeon plunderers.

Originally posted by 18eities:
also, i need to know- i regularly hit about 2-3mil on dragons, is the 4.4% crit chance increase from penelope’s band better or worse for me than the 700 attack bonus from wyrm-bane ring?

4.4% crit increase with 2-3m damage is +88-132k average damage per point whereas +700 attack is 2800 average damage per point.

Etc…

( Amounts might need some tweeking..)

On behalf of the Honor Guard,

Goontra

use lower numbers and only apply that to non-bazaar available items and i’d agree with this.
