Mine seems to be OK. Maybe someone finally heeded my calls to "nerf Uritel." Or, you slipped, fell and CoZ'ed yourself? Never noticed its effects on XBs... Not sure if it affects them this way. In either case, score one, Warb.

Thats pretty disappointing if so, but I am hoping it is not intended. I thought those repeaters were being retired, but left alone.

Do I need to go through every crossbow to show that there's a problem? Not sure if this was intended (Kodius said there weren't going to be any changes, but heh) so that tinkering would now appear to be "better" than storebought, but.. yeah.

I'm assuming some of the quest and special older crossbows will probably be converted after the fact.

Kodius already posted that the issue is that the Test server is still using old appraisal code for the force of impact stat so it's not displaying properly. No word on whether he was able to update it yet or not. The stats themselves have not changed.

I'm not sure how a system that is currently only in Test would affect your prime copy of the crossbow. Might want to indicate where your appraisals are coming from next time, since it would help avoid confusion. As for why... He might have made some behind the scenes stealth updates to prime in preparation for release and accidentally pushed older code from test through. Not sure.

And for some reason I can't seem to find his post where he said this. Either I simply can't find it or else he deleted or edited it. It might have been a mistaken post, and he found an actual difference and is looking into it or something. vOv

<The 17 ranges have to cover 100's of points of range. Sometimes, for example with the new bows, we end up hitting a new "high", so I need to restructure the levels below it a bit.

So old crossbow still has the same stats, but just looks different because the new "high" skews the margins?

So crossbows now go to 11?

>> I think people are suggesting/enquiring that the scale still goes to 17, but the old range from 1-17 is now measured from 1-11 and there's 6 new levels above that. I.e. the current messaging just got squished down so they could fit more messaging levels in. I don't know if this is true or not, since Kodius didn't actually say that (or anything else) was the case.

Going to 11 is a Spinal Tap reference.
