[RPG] I Can't Get My Money

[Andrew D. Gable]

Hey,
I'm an Apprentice and the time would've come for me to collect my salary. When I got there, though, it told me I had 9 days left, although I didn't. Then tonight, it says I have 10 days left! What's going on?

 

[Kalanyr]

Its a bug in the timer, your salary will arrive in 2 days and you'll be able to collect it normally.

As long as we're discussing bugs, is there something wrong with the damage calculation for the Balrog?

Twice now, I've fought it, and been instantly killed. It went through about 620 hit points in one blow. Twice in a row. Yeah, I know, it can happen... But here's the kicker: I still have all of my mana points. By the rules, it should have wiped out about 310 mana points at the same time it wiped out 620 hit points.

Strangely, when you get killed in one blow you don't loose any mana at all.

I don't know if it's a bug or deliberate.

 

[AGGEMAM]

And it's not that unusual to get killed in one blow by the Balrog, it happens to me too, and I've got almost 2000 in defense and 750 HP's so the chance of that happening should be less than 10% (it scoring higher than 75% and me scoring less than 12,5% = 9,375%).

However since the chance of me killing it in one blow before it even gets its first hit in is 24% then the real chance of it killing me in one blow is only around 7,125%.

 

[Heretic Apostate]

Maybe it has something to do with magic? I hit the Balrog with magic, and inflicted over 400 damage. And its mana went down 3 points. So maybe the over-damage in the spell calculation doesn't get taken into account against mana. Another reason to stick to physical attacks.

Oh, and congrats on your shiny/sparkly equipment. Seven out of eight are Diamond, last I checked, and you were only about 70k from your last Diamond. Doesn't it get boring after that?

I'm at one Diamond, with about 90k until my next.

 

[Sniktch]

Boring after that? Well, I've got 4 diamonds to go, but I imagine after that I'll be busy buying Wyverns and otherwise giving money away to my clannies...

Well, I have 8 now. But I still have some objectives to reach. These are in no particular order: 2000+ Def, 2000+ Str, 2000+ MP, 1000+ HP, 100+ Levels, and 1,000,000 gp bank account.
