Manly Man bug should be fixed.

I was fighting one of the swarms in Astral Bandlands. I used some shocker pens, and then a physical attack, using a morning star(which drains PP). And I got this 'You gain some of your opponent's energy. You gain -3 power points. ' Don't rememberif I *actually* lost Pp though. I don't really know h...

I don't need to check, I believe you. Will fix.

Not a typo. Laziness.

This is why I don't do petitions. Things are getting unnecessarily heated, and it's not changing anything in the forseeable future. Locking thread.

Truth!

Spy items only have a chance of dropping after combats. For coding reasons more than anything else.

The agent will attack in combat (similar to karate expert), may heal at the end of combat (not quite but roughly double the HP restore [only HP, no PP] of a massage therapist) and at the end of combat sometimes drops items which grant spy-themed buffs.

don't think they were ever implemented. Or they were and I lost them in an upgrade. I'm not sure.

Yep, in general trades are a bad idea on the forums. It takes the most transient of actions and makes a permanent record, and is just bad data for anyone who stumbles on it later. The circumstances here are a little weird, and I don't have a good answer for that at the moment. I think the answer may...

You're confusing "can't be auto-sold" with "can't be sold." Throwing stars can be sold to other people, and do have a minimum price set on them because they're 1/5 of an item of the month, which has a standard price of 1000. It's true they can't be autosold, but they still have t...

Actually, thinking about it, is there anybody out there besides Muh who would want to buy one of these? Maybe the answer is just to make arrangements for him to make a trade with me, if he's the only one. I can't tell if any of the others are interested, or just discussing in a philosophical sense.

At least you're a good sport about that stuff, CS.

I've checked the code and there's nothing in there that would kick you out of the maze. This doesn't seem like it should be possible.

The notification, or clicking on the notification and going to the lab?

I think the biggest reason games like TH don't let you change your e-mail is to prevent someone from password-guessing into your account, changing the email address, and therefore making it impossible for you to ever recover your account. Yeah. Though there are workarounds. Such as emailing a notic...

Got another report yesterday that adding skill points caused the HP counter to change. Might be missing a bit of code on that page for one of the buffs or something. If you log out/in or level up, does the HP counter adjust back to normal?

A completionist wants to have it all. All sidekicks. All avatars. All items in the MD. Choice is evil, let us have it all. ... I believe the game has, over all, quite enjoyed from these tendencies of myself and other completionists. I think tending for people like us is in the interest of the game....

If someone purchased and used the avatar already and didn't want a second, how would checking inventory for the existence of one help? It's already been used. It might prevent the purchase of a third, I suppose.

That's not the issue. The issue is someone buying a second one when they don't need it and can't use it.

Well... completest collectors will want to have one of the item in their display as well as have the ability to display it. Honestly, I don't think #2 is going to be too horribly likely. You have inadequate appreciation for the kind of bug reports I get, and of the crazy things people will do. Most...

That would take as much time as implementing it, and has the drawback that I'd have to remove it after implementing it.

I would be a bad programmer if potential bugs from using two kept me from implementing them. The reason I picked one only is: 1) you can only get the avatar once 2) if left unlocked some poor schmoe would accidentally buy a second and be really mad at me, and report it as a bug 3) I didn't consider ...

Broken poll is broken. Where's the "I'm Ryme and I'm not going to do this" option? Short of it is, the gear is primarily designed for "no pulls" runs. In those runs, ideally it's enormously useful. Having one is great, having a lot would be too many, and remove the strategic choi...

Marium detector and Quincy coupon issues should be fixed.

PP cost of lifeblood manipulation has never been implemented yet, but will be one of these days; just so you know.

I think I also caught the issue causing some sidekicks who do elemental damage to occasionally do 0 damage. Minimum should be 1 in all cases now.

Bug with training page not tracking a few equipment buffs (like dual silver stars) has been fixed.

Going to do my first post-retcon Tea Time this Tuesday.

The next "Tea Time with Ryme" will be Tuesday, November 23 at 8:00 p.m. US Mountain time (roughly 1:10 before rollover), for a live Q&A session about the game.

If you can't make it, feel free to post questions here.

I'm going to assume the earlier one was fine, or we would have seen errors by now.

I made another quick change right at rollover. Please let me know if you see any weird things in the next couple of hours. Slowness or errors, mostly.

EDIT: Page is up here , someone more familiar with both TVTropes and TH should take a look at it. Hey, thanks for putting that up there, Mana. I wasn't really too familiar with TVTropes (may have visited it once), but it's nice too see how many different trope vitamins and minerals our game hits on...

Initial reports are that emptying deep storage has significantly improved speed, so this may actually be working.

As a note, I just did a bunch of DB optimization stuff. Ideally things will either be slightly faster or unaffected. If anyone sees errors or thinks things are noticeably worse, please let me know. This is step 2 of about 8 things I'm going to try to do over the next few weeks to improve performance...

Because nobody has suggested them yet?

Wanted to mention ahead of time that this December's talisman items in the wok are going to be a little different. Last year I left the functionality the same, thinking a new look might be entertaining enough for players who had skipped on some of the older ones, or be nice variety for older players...

I think +melee does, but I can't remember. I think I remember specifying the details somewhere. Or expecting spades to spade it. There may be a cap.

It's a very accurate combat skill that results in a punch. You're not using your weapon, so no weapon effects are involved. The others are combat skills that result in weapon attacks.

Rollover code checks your points at rollover. Retcon shifts the points from current to lifetime stats.

I can see why there would be conflicting desires to collect your item and also get on with your next retcon, but in this case you'll have to choose one or the other.

This used to be the case, but it's been changed to open when you start the quest. It does warn players that the location may be a bit tough. (Somewhere. In the journal?)

Galleria quest has always been able to be unlocked at level 1. Sidekick names only randomly generate if you don't have a name already. (There was a bug for a bit where it would over-write your chosen name, but I fixed that long ago.) If you want a new one, it'd probably work if you zeroed out the ol...

Can you believe it never occurred to me anyone would start the quest and not finish it? Heh. Well, I'll look into that.
