December 2017 Tuning Discussion - PRELIMINARY

[druid138]

Hm, I'm pretty sure I ran into the situation for rolling over a stack past 999 recently and didn't run into that issue, so there may be more to it that causes this problem. Nonetheless, I've passed your report along to our QA to investigate.

Additionally, I had CS have a quick look at your guys' inventories and we noticed an issue that causes you to be unable to sell certain shard/rune stacks that may be related to you guys seeing the MACL12 error. Let us know if you still see it or if that seems to no longer happen for you after this posting.

Yes, I have several types of items with a 999 stack plus another stack. So, sometimes the rollover seems to work. Maybe it works if I'm at 999 in a stack and a new stack gets created with the drop, but it fails if I'm at <999 in a stack and the drop puts me over 999. That is, maybe the failure occurs due to having to "write" to two different stacks?

Thanks for the inventory check and fix. In my recollection, I actually have never experienced the selling problem, but I appreciate your help.

Edit: Originally, I was thinking the error occurred when a new stack needed to be created, but the number of stacks was already at its limit. However, I have 51 stacks and slauki had 40 stacks, so something else seems to be at work.

@Sparton what’s going on with the missing crimson dog fragments

For what its worth, I was just gifted the remaining frags by support to finally get him.

I reached out to support and they helped me with the missing fragments and any other achievements I claimed and did not get the rewards for.

[Yup]

I'm curious as to why skill shards don't stack....

I get a drop of 9 from a vortex fill.. they show up as - 2, 2, 1, 1, 1, 2 - rather than just 9. I've actually gotten the "over the limit" message due to this. Forcing me to use a few Skill shards before I could do anything else.

You had an over the limit on skill shards? Never seen that one before.

Me too. Michelle and Jerry sorted me out with my 'missing' 25 frags.

regarding the stack split problems from yesterday:

i watched it closely this time and the game was able to write another stack of 3* shards, despite me having 999. unforunatly i had 992 3* shards and exactly another 7 dropped, so the stack was 100% complete. so i cannot say what would have been if 8 or more dropped. but i will pay more attention to this. will cross another 999 line tomorrow.


so far i can tell: getting more than 999 was not possible yesterday but it is today. we just have to isolate the reason now. either the fixes from CS made it possible or the lucky fact that i filled the first stack up completly, so new drops would open a complete new stack without problems.

[Yup]

It was just "over the limit" on shards, not skill shards specifically. The way skill shards don't stack causes them to take up several slots at once, that can cause the "over the limit" message since you can't expand the shard/stone list at all even if you wanted to.

[Liebhild]

And will the ridiculous offense bonus be reduced to a not so LOLable level???

It is not just me noticing that there is something wrong.

Example:
Astra on offence can stun ALL toons, my own fully sharded Astra most of the time stuns noone, if then maybe one

Good to hear. Hopefully they address the trooper problem as well. I’ve been sitting on 199/200 for the crimson dog for 3 weeks. 3 times now I’ve completed the achievement to get him using a troopers toon but have not received credit for it.
