This is too weird. According to the post views here 10 people have seen the post and at Beth.net Adella is picking up a steady 80-100 post views per day, And Yet Youtube shows the last video (Bloods Honour) as having just 1 single view. How can that be? Is everyone in both places opening the post and then diving straight back out? That seems unlikely... surely more than one person must have watched it between both forums? Does anyone know how the views system operates? |

OK.. I watched it ON the forum... and it doesn't show on U-tube.. sooooo I watched a couple seconds on U-tube.. enough to register as watched again.. and hit the "like" thumbs up.. I also have it running now.. as I type.. sooo if it registers every watcher, that would be 3 just from me.. but it probably still only show's 2. Edited by Areial, Sep 28 2017, 10:13 AM.

I was just going to say - embeds don't generally count as views. Because someone could embed all OVER the place just to run up view counts. |

I see..I think...well its shot upto 4 now which is almost average for my little efforts....the link in Beth.net must count as an embed, not counting as a view, so probably the ones I see as 'views' on Utube are from people who went directly there via their subscribtions to Adella's, well my, channel. Ok, that makes sense I guess. Hmm, Beth.net for Adella's way just hit 20K....I couldn't have realised she would hold an audience like that just for her Trial challenge heh! |

With poor Kodlak murdered and the pieces of Wuulthrad taken...The Contessa sets out with Vilkas to exact a bloody revenge upon the Silver Hand.... I can only marvel at this woman, she is a veritable whirlwind of doom. |

Beth.net has a great many members who are in the habit of opening every new post "by default" to see if anything interesting or affecting them has been posted. That doesn't mean they actually read them (or read more than the first couple of lines), or watch videos that are embedded in those posts. Part of that is simply because they have so many posts every day that it's like a smorgasbord... |

Well I figured as much, but if they are seeing it.......the regulars must be used to see the title by now though as she's always on page one. :) Edited by Rick, Sep 28 2017, 09:48 PM.

I dunno Hoss, but... embedding a video doesn't count as a view, but watching that embedded video is definitely counted at Youtube. They don't care how many times/places the video is embedded, but a view is a view is a view, and they all add up to increased advertising revenue. That's Youtube's bottom line, and of course you can't blame them. Also, it's tied to cookies on the viewer's machine. Every time I watch something, it counts because every time I close my browser all cookies are deleted. |

The Contessa is about to embark upon the Civil War in the name of Ulfric Stormcloak. However, before she gets all hot and unnecessary I thought a quick update to show her current stats and equipment ratings. 650 hours is the furthest I have ever, ever....like ever, been. Could even be a Haven record for the longest continuous playthrough....but it ain't over yet boys and girls! :) Hope you like the sleazy/bluesy track, thats how she was feeling this morning...reclining on the chez longe in something almost revealing, lost in a cloud of thick blue smoke with smoldering eyes. :$ Ooh..stoppit Rick...you'll get yourself arrested ;) |

I have completed the Collage of Winterhold questline in about 7 hours. I have to admit, that at this level, is just rush in, bash some skulls, get out with the prize. Sah is right, we have to adjust the rules to make it harder after level 40 or so. Spoiler: click to toggle That's all for today, see ya later. |

I am open to suggestions, but it has to be within the spirit of the Trials overall and fit in logically with existing parameters....I'm not gonna just impose some random super tough nerf. Remember even now bosses can still be fatal.....if we adjust capability to make say Plunderer level a good solid fight then the first Falmer Warmonger or pair of bandit chiefs in nordic gear you meet will simply end your run in seconds!!! It needs some careful thought, but if you have some ideas lets hear them :) Edited by Rick, Sep 30 2017, 05:59 PM.

I do have some an idea, but i have to test it first and that will happen when i change my fighting style and armor (from two-handed to dual wield and from heavy armor to light armor). It shouldn't take too long, my two-handed skill is 80+ right now. |

Ok, I'm all ears. Just bear in mind.....we still need to be able survive meeting the worst bosses.....a guaranteed death scenario is not what we are looking for. Tougher.....yes Suicidal.....no I am considering a weapons output reduction measure. By keeping the armour rating and armour skill levels which we can currently build upto, our protection should stop the lethal insta kill from happening, but a weaker weapon means one has to fight harder and longer to defeat an enemy, meaning also of course one remains in the danger zone much longer. Thats my initial thought. :) Edited by Rick, Sep 30 2017, 06:40 PM.

Ok AD, Here's what I am trialling to see if it balances ok. Removing ALL Fortify weapons apparal.....its that simple. No one handed or two handed boosts on armour or jewellery But Rings and necklaces need assessing further to see if such drastic reductions are feasible. With zero Fortify....my weapons reach about 200 damage. That sounds ok...until you square upto a DeathOverlord or high level vamp. More to come..... Edit.....had to waste some of my valuable saved up perks just to make the piss weak Stormcloak armour useable....cos Galmar wants us to wear it...pah! I notice you use absorb stamina on your hammer like the Contessa does on her battleaxe. This allows continuous power attacks. Perhaps that is something we should give up. Recreating a new hammer or axe isn't difficult....but it could be an idea for weapons nerfing to restrict their enchants to just soul trap only...thus removing any combat advantage from weapon enchanting! Also, I was thinking...if I had to start again.....how would it affect gameplay to make a simple rule change like...."three crafts may be used, but only two crafts may be perked" Leaving it upto the player to decide what they can cope with. See...no enchanting perks would mean weaker potions and smithing apparal, and so in turn, weaker equipment, but not devastated....just weaker. Or you could choose to not perk alchemy which would chop potions down to about a third....leading to....yep...weaker enchanting and smithing potions and barely adequate resistance potions even at master alchemist. I can't see not perking smithing as viable at all... Thoughts? Just to keep perspective though.....a lot of people believe DiD legendary is already insane and quite a lot more think doing that without healing, magic or followers isn't even possible! So how tough do we want to go here? ;) Edited by Rick, Oct 1 2017, 05:40 AM.

I think dropping fortify one-handed/two-handed/archery is a good way to limit our power. This will leave more room for Magic Resistance and other protections. About weapon enchantments, my hammer is the first weapon that had two enchantments, all of my previous weapons (swords), only had the Soul Trap enchantments, so it's not a big loss for me. If you watch the videos, you can see that even Deathlords die in just a few power attacks. And you can execute that sprint power attack as long as you have stamina, in quick succession. All you have to do after the initial jump, is to repeatedly press the attack button. The attack speed is ridiculous. About perks, that would affect the lower levels where things are tough, so not many would agree. For me it wouldn't be a big difference. I've managed to go through without enchanting for the first 30 levels or so anyway. I simply didn't had the required soul gems to make my enchantments better that the generic items i could buy or find. You can see that in my Level 30 stats video.

Agreed. I will leave the crafts as they are. Ok....I have been through Korvanjund with the Stormies with weapons completely un-Fortified. Bow 202, dagger 190. Battleaxe 189. Killing Imperials was not difficult.....but in the main chamber we had a gaggle of Deathlords erupt. Without the Stormies to run distraction this would have been butt clenching. Prior to this a Deathlord took about five to six hits of which two at least were power attacks. Now I was counting 18 to 20 hits to bring a Deathlord down.....A...single ....Deathlord! Dealing with, typically at this level, three of them at a time....armed with ebony weapons is very risky. Basically its a matter of keep running around to avoid their hits while trying to land the odd successful blow. Our armour will not stand up to the battering for the time required to fight your way through...in a tomb passageway with no where to go....survival is unlikely imo. I have not concluded my opinion and I will try some more, but as you see above, my preliminary findings suggest zero Fortifying to be just a step too far even with maximun improved gear. A compromise could be allowing found/purchased Fortify apparels such as rings of Eminent Weilding rather than my home enchanted much stronger enchants........Back soon :) Edit....Roadside Argonian Thief...5 power attacks with Battleaxe (190). ...........Frost Troll...took 9 regular hits plus one power attack finisher. Adella versus glass armoured Thalmor. Weapon 190. Link to vid... https://youtu.be/2H2wRAtNO24 Edited by Rick, Oct 1 2017, 09:23 PM.

Adella completed her test and indoctrination. She is now officially a Stormcloak soldier. Funny how they keep calling her unblooded....she’s killed over 1000 people....maybe Stormies kill far more.... Edited by Rick, Oct 2 2017, 11:10 AM.

Just wondering... Shouldn't a lone warrior facing a gaggle of Deathlords always be butt-clenching? |
