A use for rocks

[nyktos]

tek & pyr - both valid points...

tek sez - harder game - stop crying [walk thru's are for the weak]
pyr sez - oskar never wanted us in that cave [for HOURS] to get the best item in the game

i want to see other people's thoughts on this...
because - again - i am torn

[Cyracus]

I suggested 10,000 cause at that point you're gonna be at a good lvl, like 40 if you started mid teens if not more. And if plenty of people have got 2 (if they chose to) and worked less for them. I'm just suggesting a way to reward loyal players and get them exploring and enjoying the rest of the game, like i'm sure oskar would want, but then again I may be wrong, but if I made a game I'd want everyone who played it to enjoy as much of it as possible


9:54 got my first one, almost died when it popped up. Still think there should be a system to help the less fortunate. Time to go for a second.

Congrats on your Ring buddy!

Thanks, looks just like the PRoB but with a sexy green background


Also it proves my point, I maybe killed 2k mobs in my hunt. Experimental probability doesn't line up well with theoretical probability and I think there should be a way to equalize for those that prove expetimental probabilities flaws

PRoB = Polished Ring of Backstabbing?

That ring is siiiick! I replaced one of my +6 rings with the backstabbing ring. I am even thinking of removing the other for a 2nd since my AD is already really high.

+CC = DOOM FOR YOUR FOES!

[Cyracus]

Yes ring of backstabbing

[Pyrizzle]

Yes ring of backstabbing

The RoBS is one of my favorite new items from the new expansion.

There are alot of new ways to build your character since the newest update. Which makes the game more fun if/when your decide to start over it isnt the same thing over and over again.

I say the ring isn't Andor, so isn't too important to find, However, for those who insist on getting the ring before moving on, but are so unlucky they can't get it and aren't able to see the XP/level/gold gains as enough, the option to trade for one like suggested should be there. But only for those who don't have one already. Just a simple condition line in the store's inventory should do that.

Edit:
Likely I just shoved my foot in my mouth when it should have remained closed. Mainly because I don't have the ring, nor do I really want it (I do though want to overcome the challenge and get one I'll likely sell).

Oskar didn't want us to hunt after this items.

They were meant to be given by chance to the players, coming around:
a) There are thousands of players of AT.
b) Around 1 of 1000 should get one of this items without hunting for it. (just clearing the cave)
c) Around 1 of 50 should get one of this items when leveling in the caves. (clearing the cave around 20 times)

However we made it a hunt and Oskar considered not to include any more of this items.
I think Oskar will not include trading rocks for this items. (purpose was different)

BTW: Imagine some new player reads a quest like:
Get me 10,000 rocks I will trade you a RoLS in exchange. You have to kill 40,000 monsters for this.
He will run away as fast as he can.

I hadn't thought how those numbers may look. Just that some may not go very far into the completed game without the ring. Most of the RPGs made today (IMO) are too easy, and since this is a better one, some of the "spoiled" RPG players might basically expect the ring. So I figured the download rate might increase it was guaranteed to them.

I do see your point though and understand the intent (which is one reason I only want the ring due to the challenge of getting one but intend not to use anything that powerful).

As I said though, I have no real experiences with the ring so I'm probably not even qualified to talk about it.
