Good News: Bug not present

Post by Peter »

I was... testing... to see if the cost of purchasing leveled skill will flip over to negative values, and if that will allow one to purchase absurd levels of skills for negative cost.
It turns out it DOES flip over around the point where you are trying to buy 2000 levels in each skill. At that point, the cost changes from very high and red, to very negative and white.
however, the problem I was expecting- that one would be able to simply buy this- is not present. Clicking buy does nothing.I experimented a little, but it looks sound.

However, I wasn't able to see what happened when you attempted to buy a negative number of skills with a negative number of LP. Anyone want to try that with some of Loki's Honey?

You cannot take any skill even with negative LPs.
But there is an even worse problem, and i'll report it before writing anything.
Reported. Now i hope this can be corrected before someone actually try to exploit it.

No, that doesn't work, as i've already said.

Edit: seems that the other possible exploit doesn't work too.

Hmm... I wonder if having a wrapped-around positive cost of, say, only a few thousands points could work...

If you are talking of causing another overflow to get another positive cost...well, that's exactly the other possible exploit i was talking about. But they told me it doesn't work.

It doesnt work.
No, it really doesnt :)

It may work if you cause it to overflow to 65bit, but that would need 8,6x10^9 clicks(aka you have any stat on 8,6x10^9 then and your char would be resetted anyway), have fun.
