Officially quitting COTK - End of 3 years journey

Hey guys, its been a long journey!

I like Chaos of Three Kingdoms but I think I shall come to an end now.
I do not feel that the money and time wasted is totally useless, but I did gain some good friends out of this game.

i have been abroad for sometime, so I did not have time to handle my account. So I have to ask Aidan, a good friend of mine to take care of it. But he is a family man and has many things to do. I couldn't ask him to take care of it forever whilst I relax away and RC occasionally. With his absence for a short while, a lot of things are not done and this really pisses me off. I know its more own Pasar, but since no one is free to handle my account, I guess its time to call it quits myself.

I enjoy the party here. I shall miss this game. But I shall find a new game/hobby and continue my legacy there :D Just like my newbienoob in maplestory. COTK has come to an end for me.

I shall leave all the whatsapp channels and please do not add me back.
Thanks the following people:
1. Aidan of course (for helping me to manage my account)
2. Zhaoyu and Yonghui for teaching me how to play this game
3. Ice (The only girl I know of)
4. Ippyman and XieShu (a real challenge back in s57)
5. Kitty (very important guy who appears 24/7)
6. Junhao (for some good chats)
7. My blog fans
8. My forum fans
9. s56-s59 buddies.

The same goes for this website. I shall officially make this post as a last post. I wun say goodbye to the forum cause it is too cumbersome.

But thanks all folks. Have a good game ahead !

Frequent Q&A after 220 Upgrades

Many people from various servers asked me about the following.
I'll just update here whatever I can find.

1) Differences between the Gold Books:
=============================
Brocade Book:
Start                              112
Every Enhance             +47 STA

Top Secret:
Start:                             242
Every Enhance             +52 STA

Wordless Book:
Start: (at level 150)   10878
Every Enhance:           +68 STA

There will be no difference in Study nor FSP.

2) Pavilion: Zhu Rong and Zhen Ji
=========================
Do you need the 100 "Rarities" or "Treasure" every level after upgrade?
Answer: YES. Its available via Soul shop.


PS: I asked for many events to exchange for souls previously but did not get any support....
Now see... The soul shop has many items. Actually they did consider exchanging items for souls at that time but since they feedback that people prefer items instead(eg. Weile). Please, in future when I post some suggestion in future, give your support thanks!
Given now that the Huayu team knows that there are so many items in Soul Shop, they will most likely not agree with items to soul exchange nor come out with good soul events.. So suck on that, suckers...

3. Gold Wood

Special materials however 
1. Fire pearl

All equipments need Worm Silk, Kylin Blood, Gold wood. 
However, the following is required for the different classes:
1. Fire Pearl - Books/Jade
2. Super Silk - Horses/Mount
3. Dragon Pearl - Weapon/Armor
3. Pheonix Feather - Kit? (It says Gold equip here)

FAQ:
Dunno why they place such a thing here:
1. If a person use white dragon level 220 compared against red hare 220 to smelt, after smelting receive that gold mount. doesn't the person who use white dragon is worse off?
Ans: Depending on the type of red equipment used, the number of materials used for smelting differs. If you use a red hare, probably you need more materials. 
2. Why will my equipment FSP drop?
Ans: Level dropped stupid!!
3. Will study be affected?
Ans: Nope. Study 18 red mount shall become Study 18 Gold mount. The study effect takes the gold equipment effect. 
4. How do I get the 4 special materials? Anyways to get the materials? 
Ans: Through events, stupid!!
5. I accidentally smelt the wrong equipment, can I get a refund?
Ans: no stupid. Its non of Huayu/Renren business
6. Why can't I smelt my kit?
Ans: Not supported YET. Going to be able to support in future.

Wednesday, June 24, 2015

Good news - RenRen finally admitted that removal of double defense buff is a mistake

I suspect its more of player pressure though but all good things is welcomed :)

Thanks EJ for update

Monday, June 22, 2015

Updates to new patch (unofficial)

1. Hero for Chengdu map

Super Huang Yue Ying
STA attack
When Energy bar is not filled, attack 3 in a row for 1 time (level 5 STA).
When Energy bar is filled, attack randomly 2 person for 4 hits each time.
Level 5 STA

2. Removal of Double defense buff.

Yes. No more ZGL+JY
SSMY + SCR
SSMY + SMT
SZL + SCR/SMT
Whatever combi you can think of. The highest effect will take over. ie. SMT honor guard will most probably overwrite.

3. Sale of Golden Book in soul shop

First they are introducing a new gold book.
Along the line of fate36 book.
The Fate36 book is +100 more than brocade at the start. Unsure whether it is more when enhanced.

The price of brocade pc is 1200 soul now
Whereas the price of fate36 is 2200 soul now

Unlike the other girls, who will level up after reaching the amount of "Charm". These 2 girls requires 100 Unique Pearl or 100 Unique Treasure after every level. 

So u might be wondering WTF these girls do? Blowjob?

New Hero - Hua Tuo.Super


Surely they'll add this character lol. Heals all troops. When energy bar is filled, randomly stun 1 enemy. I do not see how this could be better than Xun Yu.super though... 

Only available via Artifact Mall

* Edit. Though its not stated. Hua Tuo is about Ma Su health. Not an invincible vehicle. Heals every round and the same as Ma Su. (ie. less than Xun Yu). But has an initial buff that is similar to Meng Huo. ie. hard to die for few rounds.

Update to Tutorial 2 - New Function on "War Tactics"

Huayu has coined the term of "Hundred Odd Battles" to "War Tactics"
http://en.huayugame.com/bbs/redirect.php?tid=14261&goto=lastpost#lastpost


Some of the naming has changed.
Can prepare to spend more gold again.

Cross Server Battle Update 1: Overall Description

Official Description: (征战四方) Literally War at four fronts

Description:
This is still undergoing test. There might be bugs (LOL). May suddenly close down event. (LOL) Will further improve this version.

Opening date: 2015 March 13

Opening Level: level 150
Entrance: Super Event: "War at four fronts" 
Date:
1. Each activity last 10 days. First 7 days for war, last 3 days to display results
2. During war, everyday 2am-5am stop battle. Ie. activity starts from 6am to 2am (WTF)

Upon Entrance:

1. Players will be choosing one of the 5 forces: (Wu, Shu, Wei, Han, Others)
2. In the battle at four fronts, the biggest motive is to defeat the other 4 forces enemies
3. During the battle, apart from getting resources for aiding this cross server battles, the player would also be rewarded with resources for COTK itself.


As shown above, the game looks like a super big map which you can walk step by step.

Follow numbers in red on picture
1. The button (red square) highlighted on the bottom centre refers to "Troop". It refers to the heroes and formation used during COTK.
2. "Movement" Where you are would be broadcasted to everyone in the map (I guess its only certain places)
3. "Rank Pay" The most important resource of the game. The more troops u use, the more rank pay u require. Obtaining rank pay can be through a lot of methods. This would be described later.
4. "Flags" Can be used to recover troops and exchange for rank pay. Getting it is easier. Through price and gold.


5. "Receive Rank Pay" After pressing this button, will launch a user interface. Every hour can receive this money. Player will be allocated rank and the rank and corresponding strength of the force(country) will determine how much pay the player will get.
6. Ranking: Pay resources according to rank everyday
7. Quick Report: Display the result of all the forces so far. There will be a force reward at the end of the event.
8. Battle report: Shows all the battle notifications

9. Ranking: Rank of player depends on battle results. Better fights give better rank and give better money. Rank is refreshed at 5am daily.
10. Cities: Important resource point for this cross server battle. Note that defending players in city receive defending bonus during battle.

11. View report: Able to view as a spectator.

Contacting me

Lol. I am glad I have 1 or 2 fans from Chaos of Three Kingdoms. I stopped playing or at least I only login once a week or so. But I do still update this blog. As of current state, the Chinese server had no new updates as of yet too. So, I am not entirely out of the COTK picture.

For those who want to contact me. Simply post a comment anywhere in the blog. It'll come as a notification to my email. I would promptly reply in that comment section.

How to comment?
Example: Click on "Contacting me", there would be a place to write comment below

Happy playing guys!

Healing effects between EX and Masu.super

I'm not sure if you guys are keen but here's a calculation I found on Chinese forum.
Tested and proven by them:

Emperor  
Heal Amount =  STA+  * ( 0.5  + IN/400)

Masu.super      
Heal Amount =  (STA + 4320 )  * (0.5 + IN /400)


http://wan.renren.com/bbs/thread-1617141-1-1.html

A glimpse of Yuanshao.super

Yuanshao.super can be farmed with COM, TCA and even STA with the new system patch plus lowered mainline difficulty.

Here's a glimpse
http://x73.lstx.renren.com/?reports/power/48042/1423197025182_n1_1380536243?**=0&version=0.0.0.1

The hero hits a level 5 attack to all. Then randomly attack 1 hero 0-5 more times with level 3 attack. Quite formidable. Hard to decide whether its better than level 6 Weiyan.super or not. if i'm not wrong each level attack is 15% more. :D

Feedback so far after Patch

Most of you are keen on the feedback on the latest patch for the new system right?

One thing to highlight is that only 5 of the 13 reduce buff (Final Battle) can be equipped.

Despite the new system, it seems that the only thing most pleasant like what I had mentioned is the removal of levy CD. Now, the only key CD is the battle orders CD. If that is removed too, I think COTK will really be a more leisure game to play (at least for me) :D

Thursday, January 22, 2015

New system: "Hundred Odd Battles" (Well I literally translated - Sounds strange even in Chinese)


1. Improvements
Levy CD is removed (Wow! Finally)

2.New Features
1.Peacock Pavilion
New Girl: Guan Ying Ping
Ability:Increase Absolute defense 
Opening Criteria
1.Requires Da Qiao and the rest reach level 5 
2.City to reach level 120
3.Requires 20 gold,500000 Silver

3.New System
百战奇略 (I term it as Hundred Odd Battles)
Open criteria:Level 151

Basic Description:
There are 2 tabs. The first Tab is called "Hundred Battle", and the second tab is called "Battle Attributes" as shown below
1.The hundred battles is made of 2 parts. (10 scrolls and Final Battle) 
1、10 scrolls:Literally there are 10 scrolls as shown in image below. Each 10 scrolls represent an attribute (COM, DEF, STA, STD, TCA, TCD, Absolute ATK, Absolute DEF, Force, Force again .
The increase per level is as described here:
COM: +80/level
DEF: +60/level
STA: +80/level
STD: +60/level
TCA: +160/level
TCD: +120/level
Force: +400/level
Force: +400/level

After all 10 scrolls reached level 10. You can scroll to the next page for level 11-20 for the next 10 scrolls. Details of +/level is not known yet. Probably same. 

How to level up? U need "battle souls" or most probably "battle animas" as what Huayu might termed. The figure shown in image: 5216018 is the battle anima. 

Battle Anima requirement for level:
Level 1: 60
Level 2: 120 
Level 3: 180 
... So on and so forth adds 60 anima 


2、Final Battle (The bottom panel):Can give special effect to reduce enemy buff/status. There are in total 13 of such effects. 

Effects described are:
Reduce COM defense -500/level
Reduce COM attack -350/level
Reduce STA defense -500/level
Reduce STA attack -350/level
Reduce TCA defense -850/level
Reduce TCA attack -550/level
Increase Force +7100/level
Increase absolute attack: +300/level
Increase absolute defense: +300/level
Reduce Evasion: +3%/level
Increase Evasion: +3%/level
Increase Critical 3%/level
Reduce Critical 3%/level

Each effect maxed level is 10. Final battle skills require "Battle Animas" as well.

How much battle anima per level:
Level 1: 9700
Level 2: 19400
(Basically each level 9700) -> WTF... compared to 10 scrolls...

3、Battle Anima:Same as Gem and other system.

Well free anima per day then follow by gold
10 free tries
5 subsequent tries 10 gold
5 subsequent tries 20 gold
10 subsequent tries 35 gold
10 subsequent tries 50 gold
20 subsequent tries 100 gold

Each tries gets u 100 Battle anima normally. If lucky u'll get the 5x or 10x effect. This last page on the left summarises the current status after the 10 scrolls and final battle tab. 


This is my personal view from here onwards. They are making absolute defense and attack seriously. Force will see an enormous upgrade again. They are also reducing the impact of gold equipment. Gold equipment now shall now mainly be focused on FSP only. Although I did mentioned that Gem adds quite a lot, but the level up is too difficult past Gem level 7 onwards.
