New Weaponskills - Not what was expected

[Unleashhell]

SE already mentioned there will be NO AF+2. There is also a post from the mods on here explaining that the dev team felt it was more important to upgrade Nashira and Homam gear then to make AF+2. Gonna see if I can maybe find that post.

We do not have any concrete plans for artifact armor upgrades. If we were to implement them it would be around the time when we adjust Limbus content. However, we feel that Homam and Nashira adjustments take a higher priority, so we can’t make any promises.

You're too fond of vacuum math, and it hurts your case.

Uh, isn't all math here "vaccum math?" Meaning that it describes a perfect situation, when the players are not really capable of executing everything with perfection?

Note: You're right about what you're saying, but technically I would call your math "vaccum math" as well, because it doesn't represent an actual test, it's just running the numbers. For most purposes this is acceptable, of course- just sayin'.

Consider the following 3 scenarios:

- Throwing a chicken off a building and measuring how fast it falls (parsing)

- Calculating the projected time it would take for a chicken to fall factoring in the chicken's shape, air resistance, wind currents, etc (math)

- Calculating the projected time it would take for a spherical chicken to fall in a vacuum without regards to air resistance, friction, or environmental factors (vacuum math)

There is a reason the term vacuum math is used. It refers to how intro physics students ignore air resistance when learning basic mechanics, eg "Doing math in a vacuum".

@great

you really should bring in your pocket mules. having haste fulltime and not having to use any tp for healing really ups your overall kill speed and maximizes your coins per run, I know that you realize this but I have to emphasis just how much more efficient it's made my own runs. it is a minor annoyance dealing with sight aggro mobs and a second account, but worth it.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I generally keep them out in case I decide to do a second run in the day, personally. Getting double the coinage is nice, if more tedious since it means working with less developed characters.
