weird amount of gained experience
As I am monitoring my party to check if all characters are getting full XP points after every fight I sometimes noticed weird things with that.
For example: on level 6: four spiders on the way to Cutlass - after killing each of them, one by one, there were four messages 175XP, but I noticed that characters in my party gained two times 192XP and two times 193XP - it's like 10% more than it should be (175XP x 1.1 = 192.5XP)... Is it a bug? (If not, can someone explain me why?)
I've checked all my equipment and there is no XP boosting items - also it was the same XP for whole party, not for just one member.

Re: weird amount of gained experience
it is probably some sort of hidden bonus multiplier that could be based on any number of things. could be a multiplier because the monster had more than the average amount of health, maybe you killed it extremely quickly and got a bonus, bonus for taking no damage. any number of things like that.

The snail you encounter at level 2 in the Cellar was also worth 66 XP, rather than 60 XP.
Re: weird amount of gained experience
Thanks for the report! Sounds like the onscreen exp indicator doesn't take into account the bonus exp gained from advanced monsters.
Re: weird amount of gained experience
Interesting, so some monsters that look the same are tougher than others? So you get a normal spider and a tough spider for example?

Re: weird amount of gained experience
You haven't noticed it now and then? That Ugguardian on level 11 is really tough and there are a few other cases where it's taken more hits than I expected to bring down some or other beast.

Ah, so it is a bug. Thanks for confirmation.petri wrote:Thanks for the report! Sounds like the onscreen exp indicator doesn't take into account the bonus exp gained from advanced monsters.
Is there any topic about next patch progress (= what is going to be fixed?). There is only 1.1.4 patch progression but it is already released?

Since the editor is going to be built into the game, I guess the next patch (1.2.0?) would come out when the editor is ready for release.Lex wrote:Ah, so it is a bug.

No I didn't! Good to know though, means we'll be able to make adjustments for our own dungeons.Disasterrific wrote:You haven't noticed it now and then?

TBH, I'm more interested to see the list of current known bugs (to be fixed) than in release date of next patch.Thels wrote:Since the editor is going to be built into the game, I guess the next patch (1.2.0?) would come out when the editor is ready for release.
