Thanks Skam.

Kalashi: I take it you didnt get your oats this morning? Heheh

Kala is right tho - everyone looks at the chat window and doesnt see green scrolling by, they automatically assume they've not received any skills

What they dont realise is that fairly often, when they *do* see green, they've jumped not one bit of one level, but sometimes 2 or 3 levels

Make notes. Draw up a skill table for yourself, and each time you update it after a hunt, note down what weapons you used, what it cost you, and how many skills you gained (Don't bother with piddly little 10 or 20PED hunts - you never gained before VU7.4 on those either - try a 40+ PED hunt)

After a few hunts, when you realise that you're skilling as much as ever, you'll be pleasantly surprised - whether a nub, mid-lvl, higher lvl, or even uber

--

...And let's face it, who wants to see a sea of green on their chat window? It's just spam that gets in the way of actual chat

Also, this way MA are again reducing lag (bit by bit guys...), by sending you a multiple skill increase once every (for example) 20 hits, rather than a baby skill increase every other hit

It's a positive thing - remember, they've done it to reduce lag

Now, if they can only sort out their radar/lag thingy, we'll be fine

What Kalashi and Firewolf just said there is what I said to Euroman that made him make this thread

"After a few hunts, when you realise that you're skilling as much as ever, you'll be pleasantly surprised - whether a nub, mid-lvl, higher lvl, or even uber"

this is however not true at all, since vu day i have managed to get 6 levels in aim.. and i hunt ALOT, i tell you you WILL hit a wall where suddenly nothing happens. I have never looked much at the green level gains, even less these days when the gain my variate alot.. i look at how many levels i get/trip.. in avreage before this vu 5 levels in aim on a trip about 1 level/130ped spent now i get 1 level in 2-3 days which is basicly 3-6 trips a day.. so lets say 4 in avreage.. 12 trips 1 level compared to 5 levels 1 trip.. do the math and see how you like that wall

and im not even uber

Maybe you have to hunt even bigger stuff? When you hunt things thats concidered a challenge for you you get a bonus. I dont get bonus for example if I hunt maffoids, maybe you dont get bonus if you hunt thoro

But walls were there before VU too, now you just need to hunt in another manner to get past them Before we skilled on low lvl mobs, now we skill on high level mobs. Skillhunting have a whole new meaning.

Sorry about the topic, but the reason I named it as I did was that it was just to thank Skam and not to make a debate from it

But any debate is a good debate, as long as there is no namecalling

I'm still gaining lots of skills, but then again, I'm still a noob.. lol
Hunting mobs a little bit bigger than I used to, but not that much bigger. Just big enough for me to gain some nice skills

I might never become UBER with 200+ health, or maybe I will.
The loots are not what they where before I started, so I will most likely not loot a mod, imp or adj fap. Or maybe I will... But one thing that has not changed is that I have a hell of alot of fun hunting, and THAT'S what counts for me.

If people don't have fun anymore, they should find another game to play.
If people think they are spending to much money, they should find another game to play. And some people might find another game to play, but it dosn't bother me. I still have a hell of alot of fun hunting


So ones again Skam, thank you very much

[CareBear]

Well, maybe I'm missing it. I know that the bonus skills are supposed to come when you kill a mob right? Do they come everytime when you are killing the "right" mob, or just once in a while. I am still axe hunting argos/corns most the time and don't know if I'm getting bonus skills (~1300 lb). Longblade increases 15-25 skills every 4 axes (and some honor for when I get in trouble). Maybe those are too easy for me?

Thanks
