Parry/AC related bug?
« on: October 23, 2020, 09:25:12 AM »
The core of the bug is that the system doesn't seem to calculate Parry into AC properly.

(Say I have 30 Parry, I lower it down to 19 - game still calculates my AC as if I had 30 Parry.)






Am I bugged or Parry caps at 25 all of sudden?

Do you happen to be wearing armor with any ACP on it?

The way the system works is that it caps at 30 - ACP, so even with 1 ACP, you're looking at a maximum of 29 points of value... and, obviously, you're not getting anything from those last 4 points.

You're a hundred percent correct, the thought didn't even fly past my mind.

I do have 1 ACP on my armor. Thanks for making me realize that.

Having 1 ACP it means the cap lowers to 29, thefore translating Parry to AC only up to 25 - correct? (Meaning I can only get +5 out of Parry and not +6)

That's exactly correct, yeah.

Now, as to your AC not changing if you somehow drop your skill to 19 from 25, that's something different. Maybe a bug, maybe just part of how the system chooses when to recalculate your Parry AC. You'd expect to lose 2 AC to that, but it's possible it doesn't change until you change gear or apply a buff.

I've recalculated and did the math again, it's all correct.

It was just me ignoring the fact of having 1 ACP, definitely not a bug, the thread can be deleted!
