I am playing in the Nightspike quest.
I am getting about 650 exp per nightspike officer or royal guard.
I get 1000 exp with elite golden silk worm. (which I am wasting to come here and post this error)
I get 6500 exp when I tick my Hyper activation. I made screen shots. where do I post them?
they are before and after.

Hyper Robbery. I pay cash to make Zen
Zen=packs=tokens=hyper=x12
not getting the 12x as promised is petty theft.
considering I am probably not the only one who has complained about this issue in the past 2 years,
I would then have to conclude it is a conspiracy to commit Larceny.
also considering all the patches and expansions since the beginning and
issues not fixed this could be construed as grand theft over a longer period.
I say fix the issues in the original version before creating a new expansion.


also since the new update I have had to degrade all default UI settings to fix lag. I have effects so far down can't see my own cast.
I have to be over the top of loot to see it.
what do i need to update to get longer distance and less lag.
for all of you who can't resist saying get a new pc put a sock in ur mouth.
I hoping someone can suggest an software update or a new configuration tweak.

and thirdly it seems I have to click on buffs and casting 2 or 3 times before I actually throw cast.
I click on macro twice, then it throw bestial onslaught then says invalid skill then casts penetrate armor.
then its stops, I also get invalid skill if I click on Attack which is default for attack.

    well, if I take the numbers and throw them into the EXP calculator tool....

    ok well without taking 2X into account...
    PWDatabase lists that mob as having a base of 500 exp
    You would get 500 exp per mob normal and 6000 exp with 12X
    Throw in the minuscule increase from 2x, and you're probably getting exactly what you should.

    As for the rest, sounds like you need a new video card/system to keep up with technology from 10 years ago. Software isn't going to help if your video card can't handle the load. The client was already CPU intensive, now they've swapped some of it to the video card by updating the graphical engine. Telling me to put a sock in it for stating the plain truth is a bit rude.

    You may be able to gain some performance by killing process you aren't using, making sure your OS and drivers are all up to date, and doing some cleaning and organization on your system, but you won't see a huge net difference there. Adding software will just slow it down more. (With the exception of something like GameBooster which kills unnecessary processes, but you can do this manually without the software using more of your resources.)

    Well this new expansion plus 2x time added lag to the game but certainly if your computer OS and your graphic card are old ones it gonna make it worse.
    Ofc. get a new graphic card will help.
    Like Sylent already posted end all the useless task that your computer runs makes you gain CPU resources.

    FYI: System Requirements

    I'm agree with you with the fix the bug before create a new expansion but at the end, pwi buy the rights from pw-cn so pwi is hooked on what pw-cn wants to fix or release.

    i TRIED YOUR Calculator its say I should be getting base of 3,514 exp. I can change to lvl 98 but can't change the base to 500 for that certain mob.
    so I have to take your word for it.

    your very informative and I like your maturity in your responses.
    the reason I said put a sock in it, is there are so many who just like to put two cents of sarcasm and nothing of positive input. insult wasn't intended to those that actually have positive input.

    as far as age of pc. I am actually using a laptop compaq. that before the expansion played well in the medium range of settings, distance was set to about 101 and effects slightly lower at about 89 to 93.
    when I center of arch, I have to set it much lower or turn off all names except vendors.

    yes I know laptop is not much of a gamer. I have gamebooster installed 2 years ago.
    I used to play UT2004 on here just fine with gamebooster on.

    I travel for work. and around June will be purchasing new laptop.
    can you suggest a NoteBook (laptop) system to order or purchase in store, for PWI considering expansions in the future?

    I also have been through the forums on other wiki and calculators.
    I am not a math wiz (obviously) when it comes to actual percentages. but as SIR_LAG_ALOT has pointed out, " your looking at the simple math but there is algorithmic's involved that you do not understand...."

    He's right.
    I do not understand, as you see in the next screen.
    sage gets 1500 more Damage.
    so the 1500+1500+base (about 5K at the time)5,000+200% (of Base should be 10K) 10,000+ 4336 over 15 seconds=
    4,336 / 15 sec = about 289 per second.
    1,500+1,500+5,000+10,000+289 = 18,289
    but I don't see more than 7,686 which is less than half of expected hit.

    although I don't truly understand the numbers I understand the concept of defense and attack etc of the mob or boss.
    I hope further simplified explanation would help to develop my sage barb a little better.

    2012-02-2014-19-20.jpg

    so from the numbers on the screen I can't expect anything as it appears on screen.
    so what is my actual base damage?
    is it based on the ax base or my Physical base?

    I ask this question in chats and get a lot of ridicule about being so NQQB. those are the ones I wish would put a sock in it.
    I pretty much soloed my 90 Cleric before I made this barb.
    I made the Barb so I could understand the cleric duties better.
    I like the Barb now and my cleric is semi retired.
    so I am not going to worry what all the experts say about my not knowing how to play.
    I am going to ask and just hope for a mature response.

    if you don't want to bother that is fine. hopefully someone can break it down in layman terms for me and the countless others like me considering building a sage tanking barb in the future.

    .)

    2x= silk worm buff?
    actually its only 50% of norm so it would be 1.5 x 500?=750
    is the 750 multiplied before the hypers as is suggested in the hyper instructions or is it applied in addition to the hyper exp?

    2012-02-2014-39-11.jpg

    because 750X12=9,000
    so that cant be right.
    500X12=6,000 + 750 = 6,750.
    I still don't see it.
    I am solo so there's no nerf there.
    but I am being nerfed by something.

    Okay i just did this kill to prove point.
    I don't have a silk worm buff.
    Hyper is paused.
    so all this is base exp and spirit.
    as u can see it is 1,000 base exp.
    and 206 spirit.

    so 1K should be 12K + if I add elite silk worm buff at least another 500.

    now add silk worm buff 1,000+ 50%= 1,500
    so 1K*12 = 12K+500=12,500 not 6,500

    2012-02-2011-33-38.jpg

    but your saying I need a calculator to understand the obvious isn't really so obvious?

    but if u say base exp for lvl 98 of this mob is 500
    lets look at this in the best way u could **** me on exp simplified.
    500=Base exp=S
    50%=.5=250= C
    12x=hyp exp= R
    500*12+250= E 6,250
    6,500-250=?= W - 6,500
    250extra? = E
    PWI Calc= D



    okay so now I either get 250 extra from your 500 Base calculation.
    but if I was getting 1,000 base then your base is derived from what?
    If the 1,000 in the screen shot is my actual base then why aren't i getting 12,250 exp in hyper + worm buff?

    It's a bit more than I typically like to spend on a system... but this is my next laptop. Don't use a netbook or anything below a 15-inch screen if you plan to do any gaming.
