The month is 36 minutes from ending, who else is excited :)

What else are people around here excited for, besides the new month starting?

Platinum trophies ohm nom nom

Doh! posted late 34 minutes now :)

33 minutes \o/

I wanna to see what I get for my stats, I leveled a ton in February.

You can guesstimate what your place is by how many people have the 100/200/300/400 stat trophy.

Good luck getting some! I won't be getting any lol. Top 1000 strength ftw?

Top 10 con

/flex

I remember this time in December there were single digit people on, and I was still getting energy so I could get 3rd place :) so good. I beat it by 15 minutes or something I think.

1 Gold, 1 Silver, 2 Bronze = 150pts. The only stat one I got was top 100 Str, major bummer :/

2 plats 2 silvers for me. And this month looks like it's going to be quite interesting.

I just need one more plat to get the next discount level :/ so close but so far (22 days).

How about those new buffs for scoring. I was a little confused as to why the experience one went backwards but then I realized that it brings your exp down to 25,50,75%. Nice titling in them as well Ender.

I was trying to tell Ender about how they seem listed backwards too hehe

What's the equation for calculating the EPH? Will it be posted somewhere (updated bu)?

He said he wasn't going to post it for a while. :\

Well as far as I see, you need 3.0 ratio to get your maximum eph. 120 is the cap but I don't think you can get 120 until over level 170ish?

Nice boost to energy. I get 77k per month without playing at all as opposed to the normal 14k. The EPH seems to depend way more on ratio than level so everyones fighting bots regen is boosted.

so now we'll see a lot of high ratio dumpers

On another note. Low ratio dumping clans are seriously screwed :) I regen about the same energy per hour as one of my whole 20 bot dumping clans. The energy transfer rate seems pretty much the same. So the end result is that you just can't rely on pure dumping for energy unless you own around 100 dumpers. Even then, you'd only get around 400k energy from those 100 bots.

so now it'll be clan vs clan, it'll be interesting to see how dynasty go

Now the whole game is an enforced real wars. :\

Except for neps. He has the game on cruise control for the next few months because of his Heartattack And Vine clan. Dumping bots with decent ratios and levels.

lol, there isn't much difference with a few small exceptions.

neps must have seen this coming...

He will find it difficult to hold onto his energy though. Just did some tests. It's really easy to take energy from good bots. THe more you have the faster you will lose it :)

Going to be an interesting month. Too bad I have to study...

If it follows that line too closely it will turn into who has the best bots on the last day. ><

that's actually a good point, the last few days will be significantly more important than the rest of the month...

The battle is over. Little Neps is exhausted and gives you 720 energy.

Surely this shouldn't be possible :/ That's 10% of his energy in one fight. Obviously as his energy goes down, I won't be able to take as much, but it's still pretty drastic. I can't see how anyone could hold onto their energy if someone decided to make a few super freaked bots to take them down.

Btw, sorry neps, it was just a test :p

That's fine Myriad. ^_^

The way I see it, with this, from now on, energy scores will be a lot lower than they used to be. Energy is easy come, easy go. I'm glad I put a lot of energy on my total while it was easy. :)

I think the energy totals for the month will still have familiar numbers, but I think it will just be spread out amongst a larger group of people. Usually only the top 20 or so would have 200k+ energy. I bet there will be bigger numbers further down the list now.

Just my theory shrug only time will tell.

Yeah, probably more evened out. The bigger the number on your head, the larger a target you are, so people will zerg you. Once you go down though, people will start looking for other targets. Like I said, no more giant numbers. :/

no more lvl 20 turbo fighters also!!!

I still forsee levelling happening in the future, although not for the reasons it used to be done. :)

You have to attack the good bots for energy anyway, even with 1 int you won't stay in the 20's very long.

here comes some competition for smeagol :P

This new system is pretty crazy. I like it. You will definitely need a good bot, and I foresee folks leveling folks into the 50-50 range (like say from 80s to 100s) where there isn't much build variety and even with a non-freaked build you still have 45% win chance and with taking 720 a fight... should be interesting. I also echo the statement that the last few days will be more important than the rest of the month more than likely.

At least you aren't punished for leveling anymore :p Going to be an interesting future indeed.

I haven't tested the new system yet, but it sounds a little wishy washy.

I think the cap should be like 250 to be taken because 720? That's crazy. Maybe it will be better once you have lots of energy, but still.

900 is the cap actually, if you're using the 250% buff.

Where is the formula?

Ender isn't showing them quite yet :[

Hmm. Give the people what they want!

We ask for new energy system, we get it
Give us formulas!
Give us new weapons!

Things do take time, check out our forum in the mean time Alan.
