Q: Why should I get the weapon durability upgrade?

In the Upgrades list, one of the options is to upgrade weapon durability. Why would I want to do this? Shouldn't I want weapons to break often so heroes need to buy more?

Q: What is the Academy for, and how do I use it?

I just bought the Academy Blueprints, and a new table has appeared on my Upgrades tab, but there's no indication of how to use it. It looks like I should be able to send my heroes there somehow, but there isn't a new profession option for them. What is the Academy for and how do I use it?

public ClassName(arg1, arg2): param1(arg1), param2(arg2) {} is the same as public ClassName(arg1, arg2) { param1 = arg1; param2 = arg2' }, right?

I suppose the ' is a typo.

murgatroid99

@Yuuki I don't even think that first syntax is valid in C#. But I haven't used it in a while, so I'm not sure.

Welcome to the team

Actually, I think GCC will bitch if you use an initialization list and don't include every public variable in it, but eh.

A: How does adventuring level affect job efficiency?

The code responsible for this is $scope.incrRes(Math.ceil($scope.heroList[i].level / 4)); This means that you get one additional resource per tick every 4 additional levels after level 1, on levels 5, 9, 13, ...

Mad Scientist

@OrigamiRobot The resource increase upgrade matters a lot for gatherers, even more than the levels

Origami Robot

Yea, I'm getting that too

Smith seems so pointless right now.

I can just craft the items myself

I'm sure it will be better when I get more Adventurers

StrixVaria

Yeah, when I unlock a new blacksmith tier, then smith is temporarily useful.

Yuuki

Poor Sterno. He keeps avoiding combat so badp's already caught up to him in level despite me recruiting badp when Sterno was L7.

Q: How do I get these random bonuses and what are they

Sometimes a icon pops up in the game and start moving around which you can click for a temporary bonus, how are these initiated (is it just random?) and what are they. So far I've found a wealth bonus (doubles gold from sales) and a speed bonus (makes each tick take half a second).

heroville

Rapitor

@StrixVaria I've found upping the damage stat upgrade thing makes em buy the newest weapon.

mine are also buying shields like hot cakes (just as fast as potions)

murgatroid99

OK, this game seems really dumb to me. My heroes just seem to collect stuff (that I can't use) until they die and lose it all

StrixVaria

5:43 PM

My heroes don't really lose anything when they die...

Sconibulus

increasing weapon durability can help them not die

or town portal

murgatroid99

Well I can't do that because I have no gold

Because my heroes die without giving it to me

Origami Robot

You get their gold by selling them things

Batophobia

@murgatroid99 "Gold will be used by the hero to purchase items from your town. That gold will then be transfered to the towns gold."

StrixVaria

Ok I'm starting to see heroes fail.

murgatroid99

5:46 PM

I don't see how to sell them anything

Origami Robot

At first you should just have everyone gather

Batophobia

@murgatroid99 They do it automatically

Sconibulus

I managed to replace weapon sales with repair sales, that's like a 20 gold markup

Origami Robot

They buy it when they need it

murgatroid99

They buy what? They're not buying potions, and I don't have anything else

Sconibulus

5:47 PM

they're not buying potions?

StrixVaria

Even once they die though, they don't lose anything.

I guess that's because I bought the Save Point

But death doesn't really seem like that big a deal.

If anything, it means they just spend a bunch of money re-buying all the stuff they need.

murgatroid99

Kind of a chicken and egg problem. I can't buy that because they're not giving me any gold

Q: I can't find my resource and texture pack on minecraft

I've tried everything but it doesn't work at all. i really wanna add mods and different resource and texture packs but i can't because of this :(

@James why don't you just repeat all the skills every 2.5 minutes? The skills on cooldown won't trigger and the skills available will

James

@Chippies Cause I was sleepie and just threw in the skill usage real quick under the code that checks for Farm Mode :D

The script is small that I am using, but it did take a while to initially make @Chippies :)

Chippies

@James I'm just saying it doesn't necessarily have to be "smart" or check for skill availability

there's no harm in pressing the keys for skills that are on cooldown, so may as well just repeat all skills every 2.5 min

James

Ah but there is

Well not lasting harm

Just not optimal use

Its not as useful to have 8 7 running when 1 2 are not

They are still a bonus, but not as effective as they could be.. So Id want it to smartly chain

And while I could do like 1 2 d 1 2 d 1 2 3 4 d 1 2 d 1 2 d 1 2 3 4 8 7 d 6 9

Id like to find a 'the script is aware of the game' way

So I do not have to work in Vaagur calculations and the like, it will just work with whatever setup cause it can see the skill icon is read to be used again

Chippies

6:53 PM

2.5min = 1t;
12 = 1t;
34 = 3t;

if you use all skills at same time, whenever the higher cd skills are available, any lower cd skill will be available as well

whenever you use 5789, 1234 will be also available
