Phy/Mag Balance is the final calculation to your damage output. After your weapon and skill damage is applied, the game multiplies that by the balance. So, for 1000 dmg with 85% balance, the damage output for the attack would be 850. Total damage is phy_damage * phy_balance + mag_damage * mag_balanc...

Well, as one who has a lvl 20 wizard, I can see where that would be helpful for running away from giants.

They designed it to get people hooked on it so they would pay for the extra "features." They just make the client available for free to lure people in.

Gold bots are there because of the wankers who pay real world money for game gold. It's supply and demand. Blame the lazy asses who want instant gratification for the presence of gold botters. Player bots are understandable... not that I condone them, but it does take forever to level in this game. ...

Good one. Gave me a chuckle or two.

I didn't even know there was a 1st and 2nd plane.

you was fed up with botters at 3x ? lol you dont wanna see takla makan I think you just really start to notice it around the mid 3x point. At least I did. Whatever... you eventually get to the point where you need to decide how much you're going to let it bother you.... since it isn't going away. I...

Yeah, I see those. I was just wondering if there was any official word on that other one... if it's temporarily off line or gone for good? It was a nice little app.

who are you on Alps? and what lvl? I'm going to be focusing on my hybrid heuksal, Achika (still holding 2nd in the 2x hybrid damage contest... if that means anything ). Just made lvl 32 with her last night. She's my favorite and I'm determined to see her wearing 8th deg. protector just because I th...

Is it gone? I've been trying to access it for a couple days and keep getting a "connection has timed out" error.

Well, I lasted almost 3 months. I "quit the game" bitching about botters back here: m But... I miss my characters. I miss the sound of little Earth Ghosts running around yipping like possessed dogs. I miss the 'whooshing' sound of alchemy. I miss the satisfaction of finding new skill chain...

I love threads like these. Makes me realise Im not the only one drowning in this game I love. Heh... that's a very good way of putting it. It's a game that you hate to love. As far as the suggestions for WoW... I'm downloading the game for the free 10 day trial. I've got over 2600 hours in Guild Wa...

My sugestion: Try to play a European char, get a nice guild and only IF you still dont find any fun in this game then quit... I have a lvl 20 wizard. The magic is cool and powerful, but at his level he's only got around 570 HP. If a giant walks by and just farts, he dies. I know... I know... get a ...

Meh... my intention was to get this off my chest and walk away, but I think it's only courteous to acknowledge some of the replies. JM has FROM THE START made it clear that people should build their characters based on 2 skill trees. If people had listened, there would have been little need for SP f...

Yup, it's another one of those, "I've had enough" threads. Artistically speaking... this is a beautiful game. I like it a lot. Too bad it's run by people who don't give a rat's ass about gamers. I was sp farming on Black Robbers and ran into an area where an obvious bot frenzy was going on...

The spam in open chat is bad enough. Now, I'm seeing spammers whisper me. Got one for power leveling a while ago. Is this a new low, or have I just not noticed it before? I wanted to whisper back some profanities and proclaim how I choose to level on my own, but I knew it was pointless. Spammers and...

how the fck do u use that M key next to the one Go into "Options" and under the "Input" tab there's a space where you can enter a key that will assign it to that M slot... should be labeled "middle mouse" something, I think... sorry not ingame ATM. Then just drag whate...

Cool, lots of interesting ideas. i just wanted to add. i hate the skilless button smashers. nothing is worse when watching a pvp video than looking into their skill bar to see its just some kid smashing his face on his keyboard in whatever way he feels like. If you cant figure out the game enough to...

Seriously, though... I've seen the thread about hotkey arrangements, but I'm wondering about hand position on keys for efficiency. In watching some of the PVP videos I see a variety of skillbar arrangements and I wonder how some people manage to move over so many keys so quickly. I'm in the habit o...

Shout, later books of shout has big dmg jump, its .5 seconds faster, letting you move on to the next mob. That's what I've been hoping for since I keep leveling Shout. I figure it's going to be more useful later on. My "test" is limited by it's lower level. But, I'm glad I took the time t...

I've been wondering about this myself. Glad to see there's a topic on it, even if some of the opinions seem to be more speculation than anything. I've got a s/s INT hybrid and I've been using Soul Cut Blade more than Shock Lion Shout because it seems to do more damage for a lot less mana. But, I've ...

Very nice guide. It's a breath of fresh air to see that kind of organization along with reasons and examples given for the skill choices. Just one thing, though... Also, if you think that you hit for a lot less than someone who was pure, think again. I've tested it, and so far, I've hit just as much...

The game supports bots. I like the game. I put up with bots or I don't play the game. Sad but true. I know some who have left SRO and gone to "Last Chaos." They say if a bot is discovered in that game, they hold a public execution of it. Sounds good, but I still like SRO better for it's gr...

Can't tell.

The game ate my audio and then it wouldn't run after rebooting.

Reinstalling the client.... AGAIN!

This is the buggiest thing I've ever used.

Me too.

I think you should clarify what you mean.
