Re: Stats halved **ACTIVE
Dropped again. Fixed itself again by Mar14 - 06:37.56, but judging by the accumulated GnR, it was like that for at least 2 turns.

Yeh feels good to be loved.
GameTime:
Mar16 - 14:16.43 - 2 or more turns again. I have noticed covert rank drops as well, MS and AC stays the same.

I didn't have any AC when it did for me, but I noticed MS seemed unaffected

Re: Stats halved **ACTIVE
Is the lack of report indication of reporting fatigue or did the measures taken two days ago resolve this issue? Shooting blind here, since your reports are the only indication something is going wrong somewhere. All rank math is now done the exact same way.

Re: Stats halved **ACTIVE
What measures? 'Tis true, I haven't seen a drop in rank over these past two days, but I had hoped to test whether the problem was somehow related to sending my MS out on a planet exploration.

Re: Stats halved **ACTIVE
What measures? 'Code measures.' For instance, making sure rank and stat math is 100% consistent. (ie. bug fixing - Ray Charles style.)
Good, looks like this might be resolved.

Re: Stats halved **ACTIVE
I knew that. Fascinating. I was just wondering which settings were tweaked. Anyway, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it happened again. Up until:
Mar18 - 13:36.11 (around 2 turns)
Seems the source of the bug is ever elusive - Road Runner style. But I have to say that quite coincidentally the mothership came back with a planet at around the same time the ranks dropped. This time, everything except MS.
Strike from rank 122 to 436
Defense from rank 122 to 198
Covert from rank 258 to 301
AC from rank 35 to 49
Strangely enough, strike is always the most affected, followed by defense. Covert usually marginally, AC maybe a rank or two.
The search continues.
EDIT: Second account also dropped in rank right after MS successfully dragged and re-orbited a planet. Everything else is the same as above, even the ranking drop in regard to the attributes. Curious.
P.S. - Are there any prizes for solving the bugs or anything?

Re: Stats halved **ACTIVE
Okay happened a few times inbetween, couldn't be arsed to post though, but I probably figured it out - the bug is caused by the mothership returning successfully back with a planet.
So to reiterate, the bug is caused by:
Sending a MS out on a planet hunt. After waiting deyadiyada 24h, the MS must come back with a planet for ranks to drop. If the MS comes back empty, the ranks do not drop and everything is a-okay. Now, I thought that ranks correct themselves after 1, maybe 2 turns, but it appears that they stay that way until the next time you log on plus the time it takes for the turn to change. Stats themselves do not drop, only ranks - att the most, followed by def, covert and AC, in that order. MS stays the same (inb4 coincidence).
Maybe there's more that I'm not seeing - the amount of planets it takes for the bug to appear, specific rank range, etc... but I think that's the gist of it. Got'cha you nasty bug
Cheerio

Re: Stats halved **ACTIVE
That deserves a title. Welcome to the rank of Hunter, Sheh.
Alright, looks like the stat recalculation for returning explorers immediately prior to doing the ranking might have caused a conflict - imagine trying to sort coloured cubes and have one change colour mid-process. (It is still very weird that would happen to you repeatedly, but this should remedy that.)

Re: Stats halved **ACTIVE
Wew nice, thank you. Do I get any fancy admin powers now?
Anyway, thanks for fixing it so quickly. I'm sure the lad / lass managing the code cracked open a bear now that this thing is behind him.

Re: Stats halved **ACTIVE
Wow was that what was causing it?
I often have my MS looking for planets so makes sense that it was that causing it.
