Curious Artila Seneschal Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Hey all Something I noticed and wanted to see if it's a bug or not. Increasing creature strength by spending essence increases their hit%. However, I've noticed that increasing their strength through items - I've tested the girdle of might and the guardian sword - did not. Their character sheet records the increased but it seems to not be applied to hit% at least. Seneschal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Hume Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Each point of strength should add 5% hit chance. If you have not mistaken, items increasing creation strength without boosting to hit is a bug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I can confirm that I've observed the same behaviour. I strongly suspect it's a bug, but you'd have to ask Jeff to know for sure if it was intended or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Hume Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Does the girdle of avoidance add creation chance to dodge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Weird. I'm almost sure Str + items added damage in previous games, but haven't tested that in G4. Anyone try it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Damage can increase without taking the chance to hit up with it. —Alorael, who now can't find any games in which he has any creation strength enhancing items. In fact, he appears not to have any saved games at all. Oops? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fledgling Fyora SoTW Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Actually it seemed a little bit messed up to me. (v1.0.2 Mac) Unlike manual increases, creature strength bonuses from items will not increase hit chance nor damage according to my observations. So they are totally useless except maybe the stun resistance part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Hume Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 I confirm that strength from item will NOT increase damage. Dex works alright with chance to dodge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody Walter Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Yeah, I tested with a weapon that gives +2 creation str and +1 creation dex, and had them attack each other, and they were 5% more likely to hit when I did not have it equipped.

Fledgling Fyora SoTW Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 I think we need an imminent fix in the next update. It killed all my enthusiasm . People even tend to change their lower-tier creations because they think that they don't hit reliably. As a lifecrafter, I wear items that total "+6 strength of creations", neglecting this equals to a 12 level difference in strength. It is not like it gets hard, but why wouldn't I want my creations to be stronger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Hume Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 In case no one else do, I mailed to Jeff about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Spidweb Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 This is a bug, and it will be fixed in a future update. Until then, I'd avoid relying on items that give strength to creations. (Items that improve other pet stats appear to work.) No time frame available on a patch, I'm afraid. So far, this is the only known bug of note, and I'm pretty swamped. - Jeff Vogel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Articulate Vlish Cylon Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 We need to come up with more bugs. My lifecrafter is already having a tough enough time on torment. My creations need more strength (or at least full advantage of the strength they have). -------- Ultimate Supreme Warrior Lord Philosopher Sovereign Wizard Jester of the Super Noobs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
