[Aussi3]

Updated Nice work Silver

[Proph]

Next checkpoint

GK 6050
RB 300
New total stats 2229

So exactly how far are we going to go with this...? With the RB 400 cap now, I have decided on 25 rebirth save points and will probably do an every 5 rebirth save if I get to RB 350.

Hirai, now that you're at GK 9350, does that put you at RB 180 something instead of 480...? Curious...

[Aussi3]

Updated Nice work Proph and hopefully hirai will update soon and tell us how he is going with the RB situation, Although he seems to have bypassed it or something

[=Silver=]

Challenge grows too slow. GK must add by 500 lvls min for better difficulty spike

So, I'm trying to make it difficult myself. Try it too: finish the whole RB (including boss) not using magic at all. Elements - only for bosses. A kind of survival mode With titans above 1500 lvl and 15000 total HP it's pretty challenging.

Anyone has some other interesting tasks, which can make a gameplay more diverse and interesting?

lol or you could boost your difficulty level by a lot and not use good gems or weapons lol :P

It'd be just longer fights, not much more difficult. But when you come to Thane with 5 HP left, it holds you tight...

[Aussi3]

Yeah you would have to keep the 5 HP up for ages will test your skill and endurance Be like 1hr fight or more rofl!

[hirai]

aussi3, silver can live with the 5HP :P as i always think silver is an exceptional expert in the art of dual weapons.

Congratulations.

[=Silver=]

Congrats to hirai - the absolute AO champion!!!

It seems he deserves some swag from chair...
What do you think, Flak?

[Aussi3]

Updated Congratulations Hirai !!

[iGasms]

That's just crazy. Way to go.

[Proph]

Hey Aussi3 -

Don't know if we're still keeping score here or not...

Next checkpoint reached:

GK 7050
RB 350
New total stats 2259

I am probably going to continue up to rebirth 400 to see if the bug is there or not...

[=Silver=]

Nice score proph
I'm going to try more of NG, but I'll be in OG journey from time to time. They must've been corrected GK difficulty spike... It must be by 250 at least, better 500, 100 each RB! It's too time consuming otherwise.

I think we should continue both OG and Absolute championship

[Aussi3]

Yeah i'm going to keep it going it's good to know where everyone is at on the forums and how much they have achieved

[Aussi3]

Updated nice work Proph

[hirai]

GK 12050
level 86
rebirth 320
stats-
health 25400 (20400+5000)
attack 2371 (1+2370)
shield 46 (1+45)
magic 201 (1+200)

points 3.85 (12050/3126)

i do stupid things sometimes, such as

- keep going on just to see how far i could go.
- fought with the god king (lvl 11950) with the gem "dual parry all gem parry all attack"

it is really the most painful experience i have ever had. it seemed like to be taking ages as attack +396 was sacrificed for fun.

[Aussi3]

Updated and did you have a single gem 396+ or 3 of them you used to forge was 396?

[Proph]

Next checkpoint reached -

GK 8050
RB 400
New Total stats 2298

so it appears that the RB 399/400 bug that hirai experienced got fixed as I'm now on RB 402 - and it appears they fixed that $95M money bug as well...

onward into the unknown...

[Aussi3]

Updated To Infinity and Beyond! Rofl

[Aussi3]

Congratulation Silver on your great GK ratio

[=Silver=]

Thanks,

My lvl in OG now 85, killed GK 6450

Now continue NG using the following rules, let's call it "Silver's NG Code" (after NG5):

1. Don't buy any items, except Nova Grinder, Thark armor and some hex gems (Break +2, XP+, Gold+)
2. Use and master only what is given through game
3. No more than 5 RBs per 1 God King
4. Don't use any other gems

Want to see how far i can go along...
NG10, lvl 219 now

No healing potions or spells either, you only get health when you level.

[=Silver=]

Exactly. How do you know?
Let it be p.5 of "Silver's NG Code"

Cos that's how I roll baby.

[Aussi3]

lol your GK ratio will be 20 soon Silver :P

[ruggedland]

Just killed GK 31750 with the following stats:

Health: 45050 + 1000 = 46050
Attack: 5001 + 30 = 5031
Shield: 1 + 12 = 13
Magic: 201
Total: 6166
19342 stats points un-allocated. GK health is about 2.72M. Only gems used: light defense, titan break +2, and Health +15. Non-stop from beginning to end.

So my ratio is now 31750/6166 = 5.15.

Attached are some screenshots (can't record video on my iPad 2 with 5.1.1):

Nice rugged!

[Aussi3]

Updated Nice work ruggedland 2.72M hp is CRAZY!!! lol

[=Silver=]

Rugged, I was waiting for you in the GK Club since IB1...
I'm sure you can do the same but without defense gem, cause the qualification rules don't allow any other gems except round and hex
Cmon, it's not natural when you, leandro and hirai are not in the GK Club!
Guys, get off the bed and do something!

So Silver, defense gem is not allowed, but one can choose a shield that has built-in element defense?

Oops, I didn't think about that, you are right, I'll update the rules with "no elemental defense" rule. The matter is that most of us are not at those super high NGs and take the weakest shield to save pts for attack. Thus many take Maximus, which has no elemental defense.

Thanks for finding an exploit.
Still waiting for you

[Proph]

Since it appears that I'm the last consistent OGer left standing, here's the info on my last checkpoint -

GK 9050
RB 450

Total stats of:

Health 20400+9950 = 30350
Attack 1+1110 = 1111
Shield 1+9 = 10
Magic 1+198 = 199

Total stats = 1927

GK ratio = 9050/1927 = 4.70

I have been experimenting with different stat allocations over an 8 GK level span over the past 100+ rebirths - since there are 8 different elements in every cycle and OG can get a bit monotonous. As I'm approaching GK 9350, for this current cycle that will end with GK 9650, my current requirement is that I can only use 7 round gems in whatever items I use against GK. I trade off my hexagon gem (switch between Titan Break +2 and PP Stun 3s) every other GK for variety.

So for this cycle, it's a Kurtz with a +195 attack gem only, Maximus that has nothing, Aran with 3 +200 attack gems, Aegis Armor with Magic +198 and random hexagon, and a Ring of Man with 2 Health +50/+49 (and my Gem +525%).

I'm thinking for my last cycle that will eventually take me over the 10,050 GK mark, I'll probably go without any hexagon gem - as I feel that gives you too much of an advantage if you're great at breaks and/or parrying. I just want the end to be just one insanely long slugfest...

[Aussi3]

Updated Very nice work Proph 50 RB's to go!!!

[=Silver=]

Congrats Prof!
It's almost a GK Club qualification!
Just make GKR = 5, and don't use elemental defense.

PS
Is it not a one-hit-kill yet?

[Proph]

haha I wish it was a one-hit-kill...

and I haven't used any elemental defense gem since GK 8050. I figured after 10 complete GK cycles, it was time to make things interesting. Plus I still haven't forged that nifty Rainbow Gem for this character slot so I'm hoping that gem does what it says it does for those who have forged it and are using it...

However, the one thing that I'm hoping the devs are working on is trying to fix the inevitable lag that comes when I'm playing on my iPhone 4 - maybe it's just because the internal components can't handle things. That's why I put so much of my stats into health - invariably, sometime during the fight, I'll have that lag pop up out of nowhere or I'll have a phantom swipe that doesn't register and I'll get smacked around by a GK attack that should've been parried or dodged (and that's not including those broken parries which really suck when you're near the end)...gets really frustrating at times...

1. If you place pts in health enough to stand a one simple hit damage without an elemental defense (otherwise it's pointless to invest in health) you get a very little in attack. It'll be a very long fight. E.g. having GKR=5, and moving ALL in attack will take you about 45-50 successful attacks to win. This is when you equip Break +2. All the more, if you can't heal this investment in health has a limited effect, thus you have to put also in magic. It's another 100-200 pts out from attack... I know that this strategy may be useful, but maybe at some insane GK lvls. I guess if you try "all-in-attack" strategy, you'll reach the GK Club qualification with ease.

2. About lag. I had such problem when there was a bad connection to the cellular network / wifi. Try to play there, where the cellular signal and wifi is max.
