Respect

So what is Respect?

I would clarify Respect as a new stat introduced to the game to provide a benefit to the people who are married and have rings. (Currently Ring benefits apply to anyone who owns a ring regardless of marital status, assuming they meet the Respect requirements to obtain the bonuses the rings offer)

Ring bonuses(These are base numbers):

Gold /w Diamond: +150

Gold: +125

Silver: +100

Metal: +75

Plastic: +50

What are the titles for Respect, what amount do you need to have for each title, and what bonus do you get?

(*) Add to the bonus for the ring itself to get the total.

In addition, there are special titles for respect (shown in bold) for the top three hobos, for both positive and negative respect:

Title	Position	Ring Bonus
Special agent	#1 positive respect	+50
Swat member	#2 positive respect	+25
Swat member	#3 positive respect	+25
Crimelord	#3 negative respect	+25
Crimelord	#2 negative respect	+25
Kingpin	#1 negative respect	+50

Example: Hobo A has 51,000 +R and a Gold Ring with Diamond. This would give Hobo A +200 to Speed and Defense (+150 from ring, +50 from respect).

How many kinds of Respect are there?

There are two types of Respect.

Positive Respect (referred to as +R from this point forward)

Negative Respect (referred to as -R from this point forward)

+R is any amount of Respect equal to or greater than 1

-R is any amount of Respect equal to or less than 0

How do you gain or lose respect?

This is a multiple part answer.

1. You gain or lose respect only when you win a fight with another hobo. Fighting in the arena does not affect your respect. Losing a fight does not affect your respect. (Yes, this was implied in the first statement but I wanted to explicitly state this fact.)
2. If you defeat a hobo who has +R you will receive –R.
3. If you defeat a hobo who has –R you will receive +R.
4. If you defeat a hobo who has the same respect as you your respect will get closer to zero

How can I determine what someone’s respect is?

Hobo is alive:

If the hobo in question is alive you can go to Duncan’s House and view the side that they are on and the respect is shown on the right hand side of the screen in line with their name.

Hobo is Dead or Alive:

If the hobo in question is dead you can do a search by going to the City, clicking on Hobo Meeting Area, enter the user's name or ID number into the search field, click on the hobo's name, and then looking between their Age and Level.

What is the formula for how much respect I will gain by killing a hobo?

Equation:

(Hobo's respect / 200) + 50 = respect to be gained/lost.

Examples:

Hobo A has 10,000 +R while Hobo B has 8,000 –R.

If you kill Hobo A:

(10,000 / 200) + 50 = 100 –R

If you kill Hobo B:

(8,000 / 200) + 50 = 90 +R

If the number divided by 200 has a decimal point in it then it is rounded.

Example:

10,820 / 200 = 54.1

You would round 54.1 up to 55 and then add 50 to that number which would give you a gain of 105 respect.

This formula is no longer accurate

What amount of respect do you need to have in order to get ring bonuses?

If you have positive respect, it must be greater than 25,000. Else it must be less than -25,000.

Do hobos that have –R also get ring bonuses?

Yes, as long as they have -25,000 R or less.

Note: less than -25,000 -R would be -25,500

Are the ring bonuses for +R and –R the same?

No, the ring bonuses for +R and –R are similar but not identical.

What are the ring bonuses for +R and –R if they are different?

+R 25,000 or more is a bonus to Speed and Defense.

–R 25,000 or more is a bonus to Speed and Damage.

Do all of the rings provide the same amount of bonuses and how does Respect affect the bonuses?

No all rings do not provide the same bonuses. Respect adds onto the base bonus of the ring.

Is the +Speed bonus added to your stat first then calculated into the speed formula for battle?

No. The speed bonus is a straight addition to your bottom end and top end speed.

Example: If you have 25,000 +R, a Gold ring with Diamond, and 2,000 Speed.

Your Speed located under Defense would look like the following without any ring bonuses: Speed*: 500 ~ 2,000

After your +175 Speed bonus your Speed would look like the following with the ring bonuses: Speed*: 675 ~ 2,175

This also applies to the +Damage bonus or the +Defense bonus depending if your respect is positive or negitive.

How can I see what bonuses my ring gives to me?

If you meet the requirements to have ring bonuses simply hover your mouse over the name of the ring and a small popup will appear telling you your bonuses. The name of your ring will be located directly under your Armor on the right hand side of your living area.

Example: Gold Ring with Diamond with 25,000 –R will read: Ring: Gold Ring with Diamond (E: +175 A/S) [Buy][T]

The Popup while hovering over the ring will show: +175 Damage, +175 Speed* (150 from ring +25 from respect rank)

Do the Ring bonuses affect WC fights?

Yes, Ring bonuses do affect WC battles. Testing has been completed and battles between 2 people in the #1 slot in the WC and in an individual battle show the same consistency of damage/defense/speed.
