armor change part 3 (in Changelog)

Helm of Ecthelion [6]: ST bonus, no UC penalty; upgrade curve slightly more expensive than EB. Coming soon to auctions (and stores) near you. Initial auction batch will be 20 HoE; if demand justifies it an additional 20 will be auctioned later.

Mage shields no longer grant AC; increased DD protection by 10% (update: cap increased to 50%)

Gi to -10% magic (was -2%)

HoD to base AC 9 (was 8)

SC to base AC 11 (was 10)

first

1st

First to grab a HoE:)

Very nice changes! I still love them all!

how did he get a HoE already!?!?1

hehe camping is fun now!

Lots of HoE in auctions

Nice change on the GI... that'll help reduce it's demand....(sorry, not good with sarcasm).

/me seems to have an additional 2 AC since the HoD change... and he got a refund

might be me but isn't the HoE abbreviation possible to be seen as unpg?

Shade,

A Hoe is a gardening tool, i think you are confused.

an HoE...is a piece if armor in cb2...a hoe...is a garden tool...a ho..which is short for W..h. and so on..is un-pg..

And ho do you know all this?

not happy about the GI change but hope to get a HoE

ahhh yes a hoe is a schoffel, silly me :)

Some say that is HoD was giving 2 point and have receive a refund.Does mean that HoD/SC will cost less to upgrade now

It looks like it to me... but I'm not the most reliable >.<

/me makes Duke wear the sky blue dress

i wonder if this means there will be a new supporter item soon and im pretty happy with this stuff doesnt effect me helps me out alot other than the MgS but its still good

Man... 3 hits at once... trollskin gone, bg *much* weaker (unless I've got 20m to spend -- any chance of those beleg upgrade prices going down on that non-forgable item??) and the MGS no longer counts as armor.

At least I got money for the TSA. Yeesh.

Repeats to himself: balance is good... balance is good....

No.... /me begins to chant.... magic + gear, magic + gear!!!

'Ho' is also a particular kiai from yamate-ryu aikijutsu, and is the battle cry for my UC T Hombu Dojo in CB1. Its use there was ok'd by admins at the time. :-)

"Ho ho ho"

If this was fark, Sukotto would have won the thread.

Hacksaw Jim Duggan? HOooooooooo.... ;)

:O I can't even tell you how sweet this is. New hat! Higher ST! Get home from a looong day of presentations, gotta face the CEO tomorrow, and CB's got my back. Thanks guys for being such a great community and game. :D

Now I've really got to train VA, though(and abandon AMF entirely...)

/me wishes he didnt buy his mage shield.
how much st bonus does this fashionable new hat grant?

awwww my poor gi. :( at least give me something in return! I'm on of the few people in the world who's strat actually focuses on UC. I need that magic for VA! *cries*

(thundercats ho!) lol

well... at least I got a new helmet to spend my money on...

It's a very nice helmet too!!!

Jonathan:

Mage shields no longer grant AC; increased DD protection by 10%

before they absorbed 2000 damage per point, do they now absorb 2200? (to a cap of 50% of damage of course)

also: Mage shields no longer grant AC

this means no protection from physical damage but does this include GA damage also?

(hitting someone with a weapon and getting the reflected physical damage back)

*hopes for the additional 20, since he's already out of money at the moment*

Good luck... everyone seems to want to grab up at least 3 or 4 of them... hopefully that'll still qualify as "demand" -- I know it's not really an option currently, but in instances like this, it might be nice if it was limited to one per person.

Priced out here too, due to speculators. Same thing happened to Tattoos, and they lost a ton of money(bought all the base-level full tattoos around 1.3m each). This seems like a better buy for them but we'll see.

I hope next time this type of auction is set up, please take consideration of Asian players. At least make sure 20% of them end after midnight (server time) or something. I missed the chance to bid just coz the auctions end in crazy hours 5~6am , and yes, I do sleep :P

Added 10 more

Yeehaw! Wish me luck...

Lost out that round too, but for everyone's information, 10 further HoE's have been generously added.
