Heh...
I just went to play StarCraft, forgot I had taken advantage of the NOCD update recently, put in the CD and crashed my system. I gotta restart the update (hopefully right where it left off). Was at 2 hours when this happened, but 50% done at least.

Though, I will say this: I like the new updating system. The check files seems to go MUCH faster than it used to... now if only they could improve the download one so it didn't take 1 second minimum on each file.

Playing with Retaliation.

3 minute duration/reuse. Just like Defender. Heading off to solo stuff and test it as well as /dnc nerf.

sound like someone using a Warp Scroll.

For the /dnc bit: VIT 90, CHR 72: Curing Waltz II on self used to be 209, I believe. Is now 171. A decent nerf, but not half power. I'm satisfied.

For the War bit:
-------------------------

First fight, EP goblin bandit.
Hit 8 times, retaliated thrice. (37.5%)

Second fight, DC Goblin Mercenary.
Hit 16 times, retaliated 8 times. (50%)

Third fight, DC Velociraptor. [53 exp]
Hit 19 times, retaliated 4 times. (21%)

Interesting bit about Retaliation: These first 3 fights, I was always retaliate the first time I was struck. This makes me think it works on a Seigan/3E principle, with the chances lessening over time.

Fourth fight, DC Velociraptor again. [50 exp]
Hit 20 times, retaliated 6 times. (30%)

Fifth fight (and my last that I'll babble about, here), DC Cockatrice [86 exp]
Discounting times I was hit while petrafied, and also the time he hit me on approach (I was still registering as "out of range")
Hit 28 times, retaliated 13 times. (46.4%)

It's its own line in the chat log, so it reads:
"The Goblin bandit hits Repion for 34 points of damage.
Repion retaliates. The Goblin Bandit takes 165 points of damage."

Out of 91 swings, I retaliated 33 times.

This isn't nearly big enough to be accurate, but so far it's a 36% activation rate. Not too shabby. I would say the raptors give compelling evidence that level difference will hurt a lot, but the cockatrice doesn't seem to support that idea. If anything, maybe the higher evasion. But even though I'm only wearing +10 acc for this, I shouldn't be missing these guys...

One more thing: Retaliation swings cannot proc additional effects.

Under an hour to go now! I shouldn't be worried about it at all, but this does give me time to study for my two midterms this week.

Re: Version Update Complete! (03/10/2008)

Mine started at 2 hours, 29% later its still at 2 hours.

Two and a half hours later and it still has 15 mins to go.

Since I'm a newbie, I can only say awesome things about this patch as it allows me to do two things I've always wanted to do:

Run in windowed mode without annoying gamma problems,
And DANCE! *dances*

Re: Version Update Complete! (03/10/2008)

At least you guys have times. My desktop (after restarting 4 times) is at 3:28:30, 2% done (but it did start where it left off, yeay, so only 1200 files to DL). My laptop, on the other hand, is 14% done (4700 files... 2x as many as my desktop had before this restarting business) and the time is still "unknown".

Looks like it's going to be a sleeping update for me.

What level is the Retaliation job ability granted?

Re: Version Update Complete! (03/10/2008)

For those of you that use recast plugin, it's broken again. Loading it will cause your game to crash.

Thanks for posting that, Aksannyi.

I have a friend who is a 59 Warrior and does not have it yet. Maybe 60?
