I'm just gonna say you're trolling now. This is some bizarre dance where you claim something is broken, when it isn't, and insult everyone who says otherwise while talking up your cabal of elite testers who somehow come to the opposite conclusion of everyone who didn't spend a week testing shit, cause you know hours of statistical analysis will tell you that 30 is a larger number than 50.
It's not a bad tactic. Most of all it makes people waste their time double-confirming shit they already know. I was nearly gonna record a video of my crits but then decided it wasn't worth my time. Usually when I want to troll I just start spamming SFW fetish porn but this is pretty good, but I gotta dock points for not also posting your build/weapon, you really could have had us going but you just couldn't wait to go into full-assfuck mode.
He is clearly trolling. Just look at his posting in this thread:
https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/479820-Reaper-Preview-2-Run-Review-wit...The same "You aren't worthy to share any information with. You give me info and then I mock it. I give no info and pretend that the devs give a shit what I say and that I have a cabal of elite testers on all servers, none of whom I will reveal. Nor will we share our data. But don't worry I'm on the case. You can sleep well tonight that I will right all the wrongs for you." Condescending liar is all I see here. You don't have a canadian girlfriend that is a super model and you don't have any credibility or past track record to support your claims of quality testing or dev involvement. It's all a big troll. Well played, honestly. Got me to post a few times.
Here is, from that thread, his allmighty, super reliable, vetted, expert testing methodology, btw:
Quote:That is absolute hogwash Severlin, hogwash.
Allow me to suggest exactly how you and ANYONE else can reproduce the problem with the very least amount of time and hassle.
Simply do the following:
1-start a vet lev bard, or iconic with 5 bard levels
2-invest 6 points in the swashbuckler tree to get the second core, swashbuckling stance
3-buy 500 shurkien or any other throwing weapon
4-toggle on swashbuckling
5-throw weapon until you confirm a critical,
6-write down the damage
7-do this 10 times
8-toggle off swashbuckling
9-repeat steps 5-7
10- average the damage of the ten confirmed criticals with and without swashbuckling on
11-compare the two averages
Now of course you should really do at least 200-500 crits for a really good benchmark, but just following those simple steps will prove that the thrown critical bug is alive and well. For those folks who enjoy themselves, take the time and do it with as many Crit multiple buff classes/abilities as you have access to. Try ninja master, 3rd core Kensai, swash buckling, holy sword, .... try as many as you have time and you will find that IN EVERY INSTANCE the crit multiplier buff is NOT BEING APPLIED TO THROWN WEAPONS.
Is that clear enough for you Severlin? or is it 'too vague' still? and BTW how exactly did you confirm it was working? how many confirmed crits damage did you average together?
Lol. Wish I had seen this before posting yesterday. Total /fail on his part.
OK. I'm out on this troll topic. Cya.
