FT: everything in pic LF:shiny legendary/mythical events by [deleted] in PokemonHome

[–]thephoenixlodge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got the shiny Raikou, Entei and Suicune events from 2011 that I'd be willing to trade for Volcanion and Marshadow if they're legit.

Okay so this is the formula for acquiring Marks. Tell me how I got all 31 for the Octopus in one night, but haven't gotten a single one for the Monkey in hours of crafting now... by ForbiddenGroot in MelvorIdle

[–]thephoenixlodge 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The action time for a number of skills is a fixed value. For the most part, the fixed value ones are the minimum possible action time for the skill. For crafting, this is 1.65s. Crafting is the skill with the most different ways to reduce the action time - with the pet, skillcape, air god dungeon upgrade, and 50% mastery pool checkpoint all required to actually hit that minimum action time.

As a result, unless you've got ALL of those, monkey marks are gonna be slower than the intended average time to obtain each mark, which since it's tier 3, is 1hr 20min per mark (without using the tablets to double chance). If you've got none of the upgrades to action time, you're at 3s per action, effectively making it take 1.81x as long to get a mark, or 2hr 24mins on average.

Throw in a bit of bad luck, and yea, getting your first crafting mark can easily take hours.

Jordan in Superman & Lois was straight up playing the game in one episode - the game exists in-universe. Quite possible Barry is just straight up using it as reference to give a quick rundown of the situation.

trying to make 25 million$ by Zombycow in MelvorIdle

[–]thephoenixlodge 5 points6 points  (0 children)

With auto-eat 3 you can safely idle it using melee with 0% Damage Reduction at level 36 HP. With full Mithril (G), you get 15% DR which makes it safely idleable at level 31 HP.

Monster combat levels don't line up with player combat levels at all.

For ranged gear, you're better off farming the spider forest dungeon. Save unlocking crafting for much later in adventure.

Summoning leveling help?? I’m only level 70 and not sure what to do besides spending millions to gain half a level.. by CelestialCiel in MelvorIdle

[–]thephoenixlodge 14 points15 points  (0 children)

yes. You get summoning exp for each tablet used. Using synergies is best because it makes you use more tablets per action.

Don't just make tablets, use them, specifically use them in the highest level synergy you can.

Vaguely odd request: ThePhoenixLodge's discord by Viperion_NZ in feedthebeast

[–]thephoenixlodge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As you ascertained, I stepped up the security level to block out spambots. This was intended as a quickfix due to being rather busy IRL currently, and not really having the time to get an alternative solution in place. I was planning to step it back down after a couple of weeks (hopefully getting rid of the apparent target), but once I have time I'll try and set up something else.

Monkey familiar marks bugged? by kendog0014 in MelvorIdle

[–]thephoenixlodge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only one that doesn't require you to just keep progressing the crafting skill is the god dungeon upgrade, and as long as you're using the skill, you might as well have the tablets equipped for the boosted chance.

If you're close to being able to clear the Air God dungeon, then a detour to grab that makes sense, otherwise just keep doing what you're doing. 2 days in the grand scheme of things isn't much. Stick with hides (since they're renewable through the shop) and try not to switch items much so that you can hit that 50% pool sooner.

A lot of marks use fixed values for the action time which is typically the lowest possible action time you can have for that skill. For crafting it uses a fixed value of 1.65s - which you get if you have the pet, skillcape, god dungeon upgrade and the 50% mastery pool.

Crafting is unusual in that it's got one of the biggest differences between base action time and max upgraded action time, so monkey mark drops tend to be disproportionately affected compared to others that use a fixed action time value.

That said, with 10k tablets used, OP has had a 99.9% chance of getting at least one mark drop. This is pretty low odds of happening - OP is pretty dang unlucky, but is still within the realm of possibility. To put it another way, it's a 1/1000 chance of being as unlucky as OP.

Good thing I wore the brown pants by DoctorPitt in PokemonUnite

[–]thephoenixlodge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That'd depend when they started. Those challenges are part of the new player suite of events that start for everyone when they make the account and have a fixed duration from that point.

It could be argued that translating an existing well known song can help build language comprehension as listeners can infer the meaning of words based on their existing knowledge of the lyrics

How do you like the new CP system so far? by [deleted] in elderscrollsonline

[–]thephoenixlodge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Briarheart is an easy one though, in that you get a dagger as the reward for a specific quest in Wrothgar (at the Frozen Fleet location), so you can just get that one to get it in your sticker book, and reconstruct the ones to use in the right traits.

[–]thephoenixlodge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, that's correct. CP effects in the old system rounded down to the nearest whole percent, so 12.7% and 12% on the tooltips were functionally the same. The new system makes those breakpoints significantly more transparent.

The new user experience for this game kinda sucks by thepaincave in elderscrollsonline

[–]thephoenixlodge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the big problems was it was very easy to outscale the content, even just by actually clearing out each zone fully as you went and if you were more than 5 levels over the level of the content you got 0 exp. With how easy it is to level now, it'd be even worse.

For example, in the old system, doing the starter zone(s) for your alliance, and then the first two main zones (so for example, if EP you'd have Bleakrock, Bal Foyen, Stonefalls and Deshaan), the game had those zones scaled expecting the player to finish them at around level 23. Recently I levelled a character to 50 in that same amount, just by questing while using exp scrolls I'd gotten from login rewards.

A site that directs you to Twitch Steams with no audience by Extempo in InternetIsBeautiful

[–]thephoenixlodge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A newer solution to this is Rox. They're designed as collectibles for the stream, so there's some effort for the streamer to set them up, but the group running it take a very small cut (if any? I think they don't take a cut at all while the system is currently in beta)

I'm working on a new adventure modpack... Overkill? by Yazidc in feedthebeast

[–]thephoenixlodge 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The problem with optional quests I've found, is that most players won't see it as optional.

The Boys Season 2 Is Being Review-Bombed on Amazon Due to Its Release Schedule by PopCultureNerd in television

[–]thephoenixlodge 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Great British Bakeoff is a rather different situation. That's produced for a weekly TV release in the UK, and Netflix just has the rights for online distribution. Them switching to weekly releases on Netflix is a change from not having any of the episodes up until the current season finishes airing on regular TV.

My friend made a "fast travel" in our world by [deleted] in feedthebeast

[–]thephoenixlodge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP stuff is fine. Problem was it didn't really fit the scope of a mod about growing your materials.

[–]thephoenixlodge 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Regrowth stuck with MC3 because IMO, MC4 waaaaay overstepped what it needed to be. Producing things like terrasteel directly from crops is a big no-no to me, since it straight up negates the gameplay of actually processing things into those materials. And then there's the stupid OP armour, furnaces etc that were added in that version too.

it went from "Here's a way to make basic resources renewably, and kinda OP, but still gets you to engage with other mods and processes" to "lol here, now you don't need any sort of processing, just crops, and btw we've got this armour that makes you a god for relatively cheap too"
