Yes hi, I'd like to report the bot "Keywords" for......BEING A TOTAL ****

Kicked me from the raid right when we got to the boss, so he could hog rt parts. So plz ban Keywords cause every one knows that:

"5. No being a ****. **** maneuvers will result in perm ban for being a ****

6. Bot name Keywords shall not be used because it's the name of a ****-y person

7. Allie likes to kill nubs. Die nubs"

I'm not doin this because I want to, but simply cause I have to. It is my duty to make this community a better place, and a safe environment for people of all ages. Which means gtfo ****s.....

Great job guys! It was a fun event.  I just wish more people had entered :/  Anyways, send me your IGNs that you want the gigas gifted to...

I'm tired of only being able to grind 172 for money. Can't we make the Dark and Elektra sets giga items, so that we can sell them? I don't even want them to be a whole lot more than Bladess/rapid parts. I just wanna be able to grind other maps for money, cause 172 is pretty boring by now 

I'm selling a level 226 surge with:

Perm Jura
Meto Gun
Meto Wings
T3 set

Offers, plz

I'm considering buying perm membership, but I want to know if anyone is selling/has any good offers. I can pay with gigas/coins/items

I have a few really good offers for you guys, if anyone is selling...

Hey everyone, Bombz sez hai!

Text: KnifeParty
Size: w/e, standard I guess. Larger is fine, just not TOO large
Render:  hmmm, something to do with knives, lol.  I don't actually want to incorporate Knife Party's logo, but something with dark colors(I especially like dark purple ^.^)
Payment method: gigas. I'll pay around 5m.  Maybe more if it's gorgeous

So I'm taking a college programming intro course, and I'm having a lot of fun with it.  Just built my first keyboard-controlled "game" (it's Pong, so that hardly counts as a game, but whatevs, lolz)!

It may not seem like a very cool project, but it took me about 4-5 hours and I had a lot of fun with it (although I seriously feel like I made the code a lot more complicated than need-be).  It really made me appreciate how much freaking work must go into coding something like BC O.o

Anyways, here's my code. All you have to do is press the start triangle in the upper left.

ps: see if you can find the changes I made to the classic game/controls to make it a bit more.....interesting  

Also: DON'T USE INTERNET EXPLORER. Soz folks, for some reason it messes it up. Try Firefox, Chrome, or Safari...

Cooky! Congrats! You've won 30m  

The number I was thinking of was 4242, and Cooky was the closest by about 100

I'll gift the prize money to you tonight when I log. Hope you have good use for it!

Makes you realize how well the Koreans actually do....

So here's what I found about exp grinding:

228 hard gives approx 10.5k exp
239 easy gives approx 11k exp
239 medium gives approx 16.5k exp
239 hard gives approx 22k exp

With these values in mind, and my personal times (before I had RT1 gear):

228 hard takes 3-4 minutes on average
239 easy idk, haven't played enough
239 medium takes approx 7-8 minutes on average
239 hard takes approx 10 minutes on average

This means that 228 hard yields approx 2.5 - 3.5k exp/minute
239 medium yields approx 2 - 2.4k exp/minute
239 hard yields approx 2.2k exp/minute

(I used ram for 239 and TA patch for 228)

With this information, I'd say without doubt that unless you have a good team that can complete 239 medium in less than 5 minutes, stick to soloing (or better yet, using a team on) lv 228 hard. With a good team on 228 you can hit upwards of 4.5k exp/minute!!

EDIT: Ok, so RT1 changes my times considerably.

Now I'm getting 2.5 - 3. 5 minutes on 228 hard. Here are my new findings....

IF you get similar to my times on 228 as your average (we'll say 3 minutes to make things simple), then here's te breakdown.

Don't bother with 239 easy unless you can get 3 minutes or under
Don't bother with 238 medium unless you can get 4.75 minutes or under
Don't bother with 239 hard unless you can get 6.25 minutes or under

This info only applies when you are soloing. Times vary greatly when using teams, due to differing skill levels.
Also, if you're capping exp, like on a weekend, try and do the level that lets you reach near cap in the least amount of time (this goes without saying, but I thought if mention it...)


Anyways, thought you guys would like to know. I might make a guide that includes several more levels when I have time.

Ps: I have t3, guild buff, and member to get these rates. If you don't have member, divide by 2.

EDIT: can someone move this to Tips/Guides? Didn't mean to post it here...

Idk if I'm doing well or not. It feels like I must be doing them kinda slow....

I get around 4:00 on 228 hard and 8 to 10 mins on 239 medium

Just Member = 200% exp
Just T3 = 140% exp (cause its 40% additional)
Just Guild buff = 130% exp (30% additional)

So of you have all these it does it equal...

270%? ------ (100% + 40% + 30% + 100%)
364%? ------ (140%)(130%)(200%)

Hope someone knows the answer. Pretty curious....
