Seeing some interesting issues.
« on: June 01, 2012, 10:05:15 pm »
I know the issues with upgrade points says that it's been addressed in the bug tracker, and that it was fixed in 1.39 but I'm presently not seeing the updates applied to my game.  and also that there was an update relating to how things are worded in the esc menu about how stat points were represented.  but at this point,  I'm not seeing all of the updates (running version 1.46) it might be because my character hasn't died since the updates were made. 

Also From what I can see.  it's allowing me to equip things that I don't have enough upgrade points for.  I'm not sure if this is intended or not.

Item Equipped  going over my "Enchant" upgrade point limit
ESC Menu showing I have an extra stat point not that my stats have been enhanced by xxx%

Just as a suggestion.  it might be best to get away from calling character upgrades enchant upgrades.  I know I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around it at times.  might want to think something along the lines as Character enhancement points or CEP.  and you might want to consider putting these upgrades on a separate line to distinguish the difference between enchant slots and character upgrade slots.   you could also put additional things there as well, like say the current suit that is being worn, and it could allow for additional character enhancements down the road, such as upgrades to specific element defenses etc.

I'm seeing the same thing you are.  It seems to show you the stats on hover of what it would be if it was working, but when you hit esc, it shows you what it actually is.

This just may be a display bug.  From my understanding, since the upgrade point is red (invalid), it basically acts like it isn't there, but it tells you what it would be, if you adjusted your stats and it was allowed.

This is acting how intended I believe?

You do notice that hasn't come out yet, right? ;)

"Item Equipped  going over my "Enchant" upgrade point limit"

Yep, and then it just disables the ones that you can't support (see them turn red and do nothing).

ahh I thought that one update was out,  My mistake haha.  As for what upgrade should be disabled it should the the last upgrade that you change that doesn't have enough points.  or it should just tell you that you don't have enough points to equip that upgrade.  as it is now.  it calculates the number of points from left to right.  so if you replace the left most upgrade.  no matter what the far right will always become disabled.

Yes, this is the intended logic.
