stat bug (you loose progression points and the money as well)
« on: January 20, 2005, 05:35:59 am »
ok iam posting here cuse the petition system is either bugged itself or temperally down or something and i dont plan on playing again till the next version so i should tell you the bug before i stop.

this is how it played out. first i collected 36 progression points (18 are required for a str lvl and i planned on getting 2 today). once i got that i started getting money, i slowly trained by str lvl after each platinum load, and got to 80 str. i then spent about 3 progresssion lvls on the next str lvl (81) before i logged off... then when i got back on. i had 15 progression points left, but nothing trained into str. so i lost 3 progression lvls and probably like 120 tria. and no this could not have been a server rollback because i still have 80 str and i collected all of the progression points first. so that can not be a factor. i then did about 4 platinum trips and used up 12 of the 15 progression points i had leaving me with 3. and trained 12 into str. then logged off for dinner. got back on... had 3 progression points... nothing trained into str. so 12 more progression points and about 500 tria gone. and this is about where i decided to stop trying for 85 str. (lol) then i tried to make a petition, said it was successfull but didn\'t show up in my list. made a fake petition to test the petition list because i had a really long petition decrisption and i thought i might have run off their string buffer and screwed it up but that one didn\'t show up either. and no advisors were on so thats why iam here.

ya so go fix it. whenever u log off you loose the portion you partialy trained. at least in the str stat. donno about the other ones, you guys can go test that, i aint wasting more time.

well after about 10 days of absence i just lost over 700 platinum ores and over 100 progression points, probably even more.

update: pps not lost. cosmetical bug as advisor told me.
BUT over 700 platinum ores still lost. much more important.

could be caused by the server not being updated.. if your client never sent the data to the server, then you would lose all of what you did... in case of linkdead, the server definitely didnt get your data since last time it updated.. so a chance of loss of stats/items

pathetic TRY, harkin.

but i had them over several logins/logoffs. i lost them and advisors/gms/etc. are not going to do anything about it.

and btw your explanation is even plain wrong anyway. all stats were saved on nearly all changes except on map change.

Were they all in one inventory slot? The maximum per slot is 255 (database limitation), 10 days ago there was no limit in place in your inventory itself, it would always only save 255.

About the bug with training: The matter is known to happen for the \"stat skills\" (strength, endurance, agility, intelligence, wisdom and charisma), partial progess is not saved so far. It will eventually be dealt with.
I know finding this out is a catastrophe for the player, but for the game and gameplay at the moment it\'s not as crucial as other matters which is why it is not fixed yet.
The internet is "the terrorists'" most important weapon, they say.
Wrong.
Fear is their most important weapon.

i knew that the single slot limitation is 255 way before that.
i had 2 slots with 255 each and a 3rd slot with about 200.
the same way i did with the gold ores. during long mining nights i waited til one slot got filled with 255 and then i moved them to another slot. simple as that. before that i lost many gold ores once after i logged off.

these 700 platinum ores are worth 8400 trias!!

Well for me I trained intelligence to 80 last night.I get on and its back to where i started..no PP and money lost.Now the odd part is i went to train Will and my intelligence was going up.But again i relogged and i got rolled back to where i started.Will wont train and Intelligence keeps going back.

I knew there were bugs like this before, I have a habbit of logging off and relogging in right after every important event, like an expencive purchase or a notoriousely hard monster slain. so fra this worked for me.

there is a nother thread somewhere ... ill look. They limited the ore to 10 and one slot. So any thing over 10 went back to  Laanx.

i like you...really... and the GMs cant and wont do anything about it because its a bug and this my friend is a alpha beta/tech demo ... if you want a perfect game without these bugs go somewhere else, because PS will never really see a final version...for a long time, and you do know you can only carry a MAX of ten ores at a time, right?

i will leave you now so you can peddle in your own disgust
