"if" i do it next year there will be some nerfs to various profs to rebalance it.
This year it's a bit late to put in a change so i'll let the madness happen.

Are you talking about suffusencing?
Maybe lower level muters will be able to sell essences easier now

I have written out my reply to your post like 3 times (roughly 2 hours) and deleted them.

There is no need to "Nerf" the comp, just need to work around it.

The best thing I like about this comp... "Participation Reward" to reach 10,000 prof points. This means every participant can reach it with or without my testing or advice and still have time for Real Life during the Christmas Holidays.

Another benefit as small as it may seem, is that some people will buy Crap items off of the Marketplace and fund the trader, of course the older players will keep something back for themselves and benefit from them as well.

Your "Idea" of a "Ticket" system would have been nice as well, even IF there is a future comp, however, with the experience of this Years prof comp and how the Madness is going, you can better evaluate any future Prof Comps... excluding any Updates that may change things.

I hope you take this post as Positive post. I am sure all participants are having fun, just like me for finding out my flaws of Prof hunting.

well my issue in short is that healing prof has a 70% chance to proc. casting is about 35% and melee is more like 20%. dont remember the numbers off hand but that's the gist.
So in short i need to double the amount of points given for a casting prof and multiply melee prof by 3.5
I honestly did not expect people to have the patience to do 10 heals, kill the mob, rinse and repeat though.

Also as brad posted, need to nerf/ban suffusing next year.

As it is, i'd like to see the madness to continue to commence. I really am actually inspired by your commitment, i put a good effort in trying to get #1 for day 1. unfortunately i have had loads of stuff happen last weekend and i also need to gather everyones prof figure out coding etc. so i doubt i'll be able to remain competitive and i'm likely only around the 10k prof mark now.
amusingly after i posted that it's taking me forever i've had some awesome assistance which may completely rewrote everything except the day 1 data as it should mostly be automatic, which is some insane coding work. throws my stuff out the park and this was already significantly more complex than last year.

So it's a bit of a coding journey as well, which i enjoy doing to some extent, otherwise i wouldnt be running this. However i know there are better coders out there and it's nice to see it done properly haha

Are we allowed to add a 3rd character or is there certain criteria that needs to be met?

I honestly feel for you and the coding side of things, I thought I was a Master of XMLS in 1990-1991(95) and later in 2000 when I was learning about Website coding (oh, I have worked with some website coding since then up until 2009/10), well, I didn't even have Year 9 Mathematical skills then, as you and others have noticed. BUT, you and others like have shown me my errors and helped me, thus, your supporters have and will keep supporting you in this endeavor.

I can only state: "Hindsight" is a great thing, however, how an individual plays a game can not be based on oneself, thus, you gained more experience and wisdom.

I will leave it at that.

EDIT:


hmm, I think you misunderstood it... not even 10 hour of playing time, you can reach 10k.. as for the full Month... imagine how much you could obtain.

But you are correct... the coin, but not shining. For me... I learnt so much more for future players to progress farther and less effort than us old players.

Ehhh I’m just climbing and killing…. A month of heal farming seems a chore for a few shiny coins to me

yes for third, no criteria.

i did post up here i'd changed things partly because it was a new post i'd expected more people to read that than hunt through this topic.
