· 6 likes · Jeeze Nova, Rino's done a 100 chain in the old system on his old account he knows everything there is to know about doing a 10k... He even led a couple of 100s! Basically identical to a 10k!
We were close to finishing it a bit before but we were all out of E - refill helped us finished it then in only few minutes. If going for a shortest possible time, which is good because of retal attacks, we could keep that in mind in future.
Well done, the theoretical time limit is lower, but requires stacking and fhc use. Unless I am very much mistaken you can't get it much faster than what you all did without using fhc.
Assuming 100 members have all stacked 1,000 energy, aren't on drug cooldown and haven't use their daily refills. Also, excluding any energy from companies, newsletters or boosters, a 10,000 chain can be theoretically completed in exactly 15 Hours if starting less than 15 Hours before midnight (due to the extra refill). This calculation assumes an average cooldown of 7 Hours per Xanax taken and that no member's energy is over maximum during any energy increase intervals. However, with the use of FHCs and a 48 Hour maximum booster cooldown, a 10,000 chain can be completed in the span it takes all 100 members to unload their energy.
Yup, but the thing is for long term warring gains stacking is bad since you'd loose out from natural energy regeneration. But I was saying it's still a very impressive feat, since it's about basically fast as anyone can manage without much stacking.
You're wrong. It is more than 30 natural energy, or it is less than 1000 extra energy depending on how you look at it. To get to 1000 energy stacked you need to not gym or attack 24 hours (well I guess technically you can get yourself to 750 energy from the 3rd Xanax...) but anyways you miss out on energy regeneration which in 24 hours is 24/5=4.8 full energy bars, or 720 energy. Granted, we often miss some of the energy due to sleep and our schedule, but for most active players they can get 15- 20 hours worth of energy regeneration within a day, making it 3 or 4 energy bars or in simple terms 450-600 energy. So for 1000 energy it would be an extra 400-550 energy, minus 150 if you didn't use up the refill prior to stacking. The boon here is though you get all the energy to use at once, allowing a solo player to do 40 attacks. So as I said, you miss out on more than 30 natural energy or you don't get exactly 1000 extra.
What I am saying is the best long term plan for Xanax users is simply: plan on chaining more often, and don't stack as each day you do could've been 24 extra hits in a chain per member or in a faction of 100 Xanax users an extra 2,400 attacks before group attacks or losses are considered, on top of the energy from Xanax (250 X 3 / 25=30) attacks per faction member over stacked chaining. Obviously 54 hits >40 hits assuming no medical cool down issues, but the best part is those 54 hits don't all have to be done at once, versus 1000 stacked energy you should get rid of asap.
You stack before the chain starts, not during it. Thus the only energy you lose is the amount you would have gained before attacking enough to reduce your energy bar to under 150.
You're still missing my point, you still loose out on the energy from when you are stacking. And besides your faction could've instead been chaining the day before, rather than spending the time stacking. Think of it as you'd earn more respect per day average if you don't prepare a day for chaining and instead just chain on the fly with enough members coming around often enough to keep the chain alive.
It's my way of saying 2 days of chaining applying the chaining concepts is worth more respect than 1 day of chaining and 1 day of planning/ preparing.
Some numbers: 48 hours of chaining in a faction of 100 is worth 10,800 attacks.24 hours of chaining and 24 hours of stacking is worth 9,400 attacks, assuming your faction uses up the stacked energy right at the start of the 24 hours of chaining, otherwise it's even less attacks, oh and I forgot to consider the possibility of overdosing while stacking, so it is - 9000 energy (or -360 attacks). I'm not calculating the chance of OD from the individual Xanax as both will be impacted the same way. Oh and if you are rushing that, it is very possible that you will screw up many of the bonus hits and you may max out your medical cool down since you have to do all your attacks in a very short time frame or give up the fair fight bonus.
