Couldn't find this reported anywhere else (Helmet issue).

My helmet is a Knight's Platemail Helmet, so my stun resistance is 25.

Upon looting the boxes in lost castle, I found a Platemail helm, so I dropped it; with these results.

*Spoilers* Also, who ever put that 'surprise' in that breakable door in that room owes me a pair of underwear...

whats the problem here then? isn't the knights platemail supposed to be better than the platemail?

or are you still wearing the knights platemail when that happened...?

 

[Xeropace]

The problem is, my stun resistance was 25, I picked up the platemail helmet, I then dropped it. My resistance was then lowered to 20, even though I still had my Knight's one equipped.

It also worked when I dropped my Knight's helm. It seems picking up a helm and then dropping it, gives you that helms resistance?

Hopefully just lag in the event message hud, but even if its not, taking your knight's helm on and off again will get you your old stun resist back, as will a map change.

Was hosting my own server and was repeatable over and over. Yeah I figured I can easily get my real resistance back, but isn't it a little weird how dropping a helmet changes your resistance?

 

[Thothie]

Oh wow, if you think THAT's weird, you ain't been playing this game very long.

Thothie, I've seen Xero around on the forums... he is pretty new...

I don't think (or really know, for that matter) he goes back before MS1.3, if that far back in the first place...

If you do go that far back Xero, you've had the blissful ignorance of errors

Thothie, I'll be posting a bug concerning Orc Brawlers pretty soon; I am not sure if it is only existent in the Feb patch, might date back through the Jan patch too

Heh well my friends, I have played MS 1.0. I'm not AS new as you think .

I've had the character ending bugs so many times that I stopped playing MS. Getting bags stuck in your hands, trying to equip a bag but it goes in to a sword etc. I never got far enough to see past edana back then. I forgot about the mod over time, then found the MSC site before the first public release. I watched for a little bit, then it was released 2005-2006 new years if I remember? I downloaded and played and got to about level 23 and pretty much had done everything the game had to offer back then and stopped playing.

A year later I came back to notice lots of cotent added and bug fixes so I started playing again . I do seem a little new with the newbie questions, I just have a bad memory and can't remember where stuff is >_>

Edit: heh just remembered the Firewood in Helena on the first MSC release Exploit a plenty. I also remember Gold Armor being in one of Cyax's maps a LONG time ago, the weird one with the lava and climbing chains.
