World of Warcraft

I too am leaving. Little sister is doing a triathlon this Sunday so I am visiting family for the weekend. I should be playin sometime Monday. Was talkin to TraciLynne and decided to walk around some 21+ floors and got this...thanks for the talk Noah.

I am leaving for Albuqurque, New Mexico tonight. I wont be playing lineage again until sometime Monday. A couple of my best friends, Patrick and Sara, are getting married. I am making the ~16hr drive with a couple other friends. It should be an interesting weekend.
Anyhow, here's another FI shot.
krazymike and I ran into a ton of mops. It looked like someone had been badly ambushed and died. I flipped a bitch and ran but krazymike jumped into it.
something like 4 trolls, bb and de:

Not a lot of interesting stuff lately. I've been in FV the last few days.
I was on a nzel/ndai drought in FV for awhile. That ended yesterday though.

The US Lineage I servers will be brought down for a brief maintenance and publish on Wednesday, September 22nd at 10:00 AM CDT. The content of this publish will include the following:

All servers:

• Addition of the “auto-loot” drop dispersal system as it existed prior to Episode 2.

NOOOO. I liked getting all the drops. :(
They need to combine the two auto-loot systems. Summons and pets can get drops, however, when they are full then drops go to the player. I hate when I hunt FV for 10minutes and my summon collects 8 different things and stuff starts hitting the floor.

I decided to hit up the Lineage.com forums just a bit ago. bigfool posts [bug?]on negative weapons. I read, then reread it a couple times to understand EXACTLY what happens with this bug. I'll break it down as best I can for you. bigfool credits this information to XXXXCAT at http://www.gamer.com.tw. Also, this is backed up by players on TAIWAN lineage servers, not by anyone on US servers yet. However, I imagine this bugged or incorrect code is universal throughout lineage servers.

bigfool's post rewritten by me:

Break Point(s):
When you attack a golem or boss using a normal sword, it will get broken and receive +1 "break point" for each time you break it.

Your attack point will be reduced as your break points increase. (So your +9 weapon becomes +8, +7, +6 as it gets damaged.)

NC's formula(simply add and subtract):
Attack points = weapons base damage + weapons enchant + (all that other stuff like STR) - break points
That 5 or 6 damage on a sword after you fight a boss is SUBTRACTED from your attack points. DUH!!! Go repair your sword!


Nothing special so far, however...
What if the break points on your weapon were negative?
Subtract a negative and you get a positive. Breaks on a weapon could add to your attack power.

How do we get negative break points on a weapon if golems, bosses, and weapon break give positive values?

NCs formula for breaks on a weapon:
The maximum breaks on a weapon = "enchant lvl" + 5

You can break a +10 weapon 15 times. (10 + 5 = 15)

What if our weapon isn't +10? What if it is -6 and we break it?
According to NC the maximum breaks you can do on a -6 weapon is -1. (-6 + 5 = -1) AHA!
Negative break points.
So you make a -6 weapon with CDAIs and someone casts weapon break on you and you now have this -6 weapon with -1 break points.

Now you use a bunch of NDAIs and make it +7.
Now your attack power formula begins with a +7 weapon and ends with subtracting that -1 break point. You've just gained power.

If you CDAI that -6 weapon and it goes -7. Then someone casts weapon break on you.
Do the math: -7 + 5 = -2
You now have -2 breaks, instead of just one.
If you ndai it back to +7 you have that -2 subtracted( or +2 added) to your weapon. It's like +9!

Another advantage to a weapon with negative break points is you cant break it anymore from mops or bosses. Your -2 breaks wont become -1, 0, 1, 2, etc. Weapon break spell still works though. If you have weapon break casted on your -2 breaks weapon then you go back to positives.



I hope that helps.

It seems every time I want to write something about Lineage blogger screws up and doesnt want to post it. This has happened like the last 4 times. So before I write too much here's a little something from awhile ago to test blogger atm.
Killing BKs for diamonds:




Those are obviously from SKT. BK packs in SWL were great for adena once, especially with firestorm. Drops and spawn have been nerfed to hell though.



Edit: Well, one of my computers posts blogger updates just fine and one doesnt. WTF :(

Working at a fast food restaurant I see A LOT of money. Sometimes after a busy shift I'll count $2000 drawers. Anyways, a few years ago I collected money and I spot all sorts of stuff in drawers. Usually just silver coins pre-1964 or older bills. However, this week was cool. I found a $10 bill from 1934 and, even cooler, a Morgan Silver Dollar from 1921.
Here's what a Morgan Dollar looks like:


The one I found is in good condition too. It's dirty but all the details are there. Nothing is worn down. I think I'll start collecting again.
