    1:00:26 ShroudoftheAvatar: Dr_L, my background is actually math. I was a chip engineer with full engineering background and Texas state math champ in 1986 as a junior. The problem is not know proper math to use but rather changing targets and player experience. Math is easy, player psychology and evolving world
    1:02:02 Dr_L: @shroudoftheavatar thank you for the reply!
    1:02:35 ShroudoftheAvatar: Dr_L, you're absolutely right though. If I had to do it over, I would have avoided all linear, approaching zero problem stats
    1:03:11 ShroudoftheAvatar: Like I said in the stream, big problem of linear approaching zero stat with power related to 1 over the value

    1:13:46 CoraCuzabich: !question
    Can patterns be setup to drop alongside other salvage drops rather than instead of? They drop pretty frequently. If I want to salvage 20 rusty swords to get metal scrap, I'm probably going to get 16 patterns.
    - Elgarion answered about 01:26:50

    Salvaging- Any improvements for crafted stuff or will it still be just scraps ?
    1:19:30 CommunityoftheAvatar: @ElrondKingOfElves Bzus made a system where I think I can add tiered results based on success IF I remember correctly, I'll know more next month when working on it, but I should be able to just get things populated and get you some of your goodies back. Keep in mind, component gold values will drop since the return will be bigger. Much bigger is what he's saying if I recall. Don't lawyer me pls, trying...
    1:19:37 CommunityoftheAvatar: ...to remember, and I haven't started the work yet.
    1:20:37 ElrondKingOfElves: k.... as a crafter dont care much about components gold value... but if i get some mats back from poorly enchanted stuff means i got more mats to craft again

    1:19:26 sbburzmali: Massive pets isn't a build?
    - Chris responded about 01:19:35

    1:20:15 necronut: @shroudoftheavatar So fire spec causes ALL fire to stack resist debuff, and evaporate adds EVEN MORE debuff. Add in ignite weapon stacking for an additional 30% debuff and you've pushed fire resist debuff over 100%

    - Chris answered about 01:32:25

    1:33:52 weldermobile: @communityoftheavatar please take a look at it closer. let's say a new player wants to make collars to level the skill, you will spend days mining for a few points. I like to be a tamer not a miner.
