Would you be able to share the information/list of items that can drop from the Magma Golem event in the south of Vallour?

Thank you.

I recently dropped a Demoanic/Sadness Daga, but it doesn't work.

Is it possible to provide a list of weapons from each skill category that work as gear (% Damage)?

I noticed that increasing defense does not increase the "Damage Block" received by the player, I would like to know what is the advantage of increasing the player's DEFENSE?

While you're at it, can you comment on the benefits of increasing each of the player's statuses?

I returned to Faldon after about 10 years and found I had horrible fps plus the game would slow down to unbearable levels over time.

This was not how I remembered it.

I used 3 different machines:

Dual core i3 2130 @ 3.4GHz + 8GB + 750 Ti 2GB + Windows XP

Quad core i5 750 @ 4.0GHz + 16GB RAM + NVIDIA 680 2GB + Windows 7

Quad core i7 7700k @ 5.0GHz + 16GB RAM + AMD 480 8GB + Windows 10

Out of those three machines only the Windows XP one ran smoothly, didn't slow down and was able to hold hundreds of FPS in all areas.

So it's not likely to be the hardware but Windows.

I will demonstrate with the middle machine.

What really stood out for me was that on Windows 7 and 10 the font was oversized and you couldn't see all of it in the available space. I also found that the more font that piled up in the chatbox the worse the performance became.

I've been unable to replicate the oversized default font since fixing the issue but this is the default I currently have:

Low fps and if I hit Nova ( as an example of action on the screen) the game lags horribly and is unplayable.

The oversized font led me to Cleartype which is a font smoothing program in windows:

By disabling that fps improved a bit but hitting Nova again crippled the game. Note that font is now pixellated due to Cleartype being disabled.

More digging around made me try out changing settings in DirectX, something you cannot do normally.

You need the DirectX control panel: http://microsoft-directx-control-panel.en.lo4d.com/

In this you want to go to the DirectDraw tab and untick Use Hardware Acceleration:

After that, apply all graphics settings in Faldon:

Tadaa... and no matter what action is going on the fps and game smoothness stays great:

Out in the desert on this same machine my fps can go over 1600 which doesn't benefit anything but it shows how freely the game is able to run without the crippling effects of Cleartype and whatever is going wrong between Faldon and DirectDraw:

Hopefully this helps old players and new players who are wondering why this game plays horribly on their new operating systems.

O que é o Need, Greed, Pass sistema de loot?
O Need, Greed, Pass (NGP) sistema de loot é o sistema que foi introduzido para promover uma melhor distribuição justa de loots entre players que trabalharam juntos como um time, em atividades tais como completando um evento baseado em equipe ou matando um Boss que requer um esforço de time para matar eficazmente.

O sistema NGP trabalha para que cada player no time decide para qual loot no caso eles precisam (NEED), gostariam de ter (GREED), ou deixe o item para outros players ter (PASS). Cada opção tem uma influência particular sobre qual player terá o item. Quando um Boss dropa varios items você pode pegar apenas um que você precisa (NEED). O sistema trabalha construindo em cima de escolhas passadas e favores aqueles que deixaram um monte de items para outros players. (Eles usaram a opção "PASS").

Abaixo é uma explicação de como o sistema NGP funciona e como todas as opções influenciam uma a outra.

Como isso funciona?
O sistema NGP é baseado em pontos. Você ganha e gasta pontos baseado na opção que você escolhe. Quanto maior seus pontos maior sera sua chance de conseguir um item que você precisa (NEED). Os pontos que você ganha são guardados por evento, entao se você ganha muitos pontos por matar um Boss A um desses pontos não funcionam quando você ajudar a matar o Boss B.

Need
Se você for o unico player que selecionou a opção (NEED) em um item em particular você vai tê-lo. Se mais player selecionaram (NEED) o item entao vai ser premiado para o player com o maior numero de pontos. Em caso de um ou mais players com a mesma maior quantidade de pontos o item vai ser premiado aleatoriamente para um deles. Quando receber um item que você marcou (NEED) seus pontos vão ser resetados para zero. Se você não ficar com o item que você marcou como (NEED) seus pontos vão ser aumentados por +1.

Greed
Quando nenhum player marcar (NEED) em um item, ele vai ser premiado para a pessoa quem marcou (GREED). Se mais pessoas marcaram (GREED) o item então vai ser premiado para o player com o maior numero de pontos. No caso de um ou mais player com a mesma quantidade de pontos o item vai ser premiado aleatoriamente para um deles. Quando usando a opção (GREED) você não vai perder nem ganhar nenhum ponto.

Pass
Quando usando a opção (PASS) você não vai receber o item, mas você vai ser recompensado com varios pontos. Esse é o caminho mais rapido para acumular alguns pontos então você pode usar eles quando você precisar de um item com a opção (NEED).

Taticas
Você vai precisar de usar uma 'mistura' de todos os pontos para ter uma melhor chance de conseguir o item que você quer. Considere as seguintes declarações quando decidir sobre sua tatica:

Sempre quando precisando(NEED) de um item tenha certeza que seus pontos não vão subir tão rapido quanto eles iriam ao passar um item com a opção (PASS). Isso tambem significa que você pode acabar gastando os seus pontos em um item que você realmente não precisa (mas sim por causa da ganância).

Sempre quando marcar (GREED) para um item tenha certeza que ninguem vai precisar do item em marcar com (NEED) pois o item vai ser favorecido acima do 'GREED' e ser premiado praquele que marcou 'NEED'.

Sempre quando (PASS) um item obviamente tenha certeza que você nunca vai ter o item. Isso irá contudo aumentar seus pontos mais rapido do que te dar uma chance maior de obter um item que voce precisa com a opção (NEED).

A new system of loot has been introduced, the "Need, Greed, Pass looting system" or NGP-system.

What is the Need, Greed, Pass looting system?
The Need, Greed, Pass (NGP) looting system is a system that was introduced to promote a fair distribution of loot between players that have worked together as a team in activities such as completing a team based event or killing a boss monster that requires team effort to kill effectively.

The NGP system works by allowing every player in a team to decide for each looted item whether they need it (NEED), would like to have it (GREED), or leave the item for other players to have (PASS). Each option has particular influence over which player gets the item. When a boss monster drops several items you can only pick one you NEED. The system works by building upon past choices and favours those who have left a lot of looted items to others players (they used the PASS option).

Below is an explanation of how the NGP system works and how how all of the options influence each other.

How it works
The NGP system is point based. You collect and spend points based on the options you pick. The higher your points the higher your chances of getting an item you mark as NEED. The points you collect are kept per event, so if you have a lot of points for killing boss monster A those points have no effect when you help killing boss monster B.

Need
If you are the only player who has selected the NEED option for a particular item you will get it. If there are more players that NEED the item then that item is award to the player with the highest number of points. In case one or more players share the same highest amount of points then the item is awarded randomly to one of them. When receiving an item you marked as NEED your points will get reset to zero. If you don't end up getting the item you marked as NEED your points will get increased by one.

Greed
When no players NEED an item it will get awarded to a person who wants it (GREED). If there are more players that GREED the item then that item is award to the player with the highest number of points. In case one or more players share the same highest amount of points then the item is awarded randomly to one of them. When using the GREED option you will neither gain nor lose any points.

Pass
When using the PASS option you will not get the item, but you will be awarded several points. This is the fastest way to accumulate some points so you can use them when you NEED an item.

Tactics
You will need to use a mix of all the options to have a better chance of getting the items you want. Consider the following statements when deciding on your tactic.

Always "needing" an item makes sure that your points don't go up as fast as they would when passing an item. It also means that you may end up "spending" your points on an item you don't really need (but rather want because of greed).

Always "greeding" for an item makes sure that anyone who "needs" the item will get it as need is favoured over greed. Greeding will not award any points so in case you do need an item you have a lower chance of getting it. If however, no one "needs" an item you will get it without losing any points at all.

Always "passing" an item obviously makes sure you never get the item. It will however increase your points the fastest which gives you a bigger chance of getting an item you "need".

PS: I realize the category is incorrect, but the website only shows a specific set of categories and I can't add one without Zer.

I can remember a few character names or account names and that email i most likely had at the time. If any of that info can get me to a password reset to anything. That would rock. HOpefully thanks guys.

Also, got any good video screen capture programs you'd recommend?

Sometimes, for unknown reasons, a map can get corrupted and will leave you with something like you as described in this topic.

To fix this you can download MapFeex. MapFeex will make the client repatch the sectors of the map that got corrupted.

How to use it:
-Run the program (on Vista/Win7 you may need to run it as admin),
-If you have Faldon installed in any of the default locations and didn't give the folder any weird names the program will automatically find your Faldon directories for you. If it can't find the install directories it will prompt you to select the directory manually.
-Select the right Faldon installation directory (you should normally only have one anyway),
-Log on Faldon and go to the area with the corrupted sectors,
-Alt tab to MapFeex and click "Find active clients",
-Select the right process (it's probably only one),
-Click "Mark nearby sectors for patching",
-Go back to Faldon and either switch maps or relog and go back to the area with the corrupted sectors, it should repatch them now.

This tool hasn't been tested thoroughly so if you find a bug please notify Mr Spy.

The game runs slowly for me on Vista/Windows 7.
If you have this problem, click Options at the starting screen, then click Display's Setup button. Uncheck Hardware Acceleration and Direct3D Lighting. Click OK and run the game.
