That feeling when...

When you finally find that last clockwork in the defeat all mission, stuck in the rafters of the warehouse.

You're a stalker and there's a boss or higher among the mobs ahead.  You stealthily creep up on the unsuspecting boss using all of your sneaky powers, hit build up, maybe even pop a few red insps to make your assassin's strike that much more lethal!  This boss will never know what hit him or her...

 

...and still doesn't know because you missed.  The boss is just standing there still fully unaware of your ineptitude as you sulk back into the corner wondering if you should have taken up botany instead.

That gives me an idea ...

On the flipside of "that feeling when" - when the rare recipe you badly wanted but couldn't afford yet drops as loot.  From a minion.

Also the flipside....when you bid 1 inf on an orange enh so you will know what to bid on when after you make cash....and you buy it....for 1 inf.

This happened to me tonight:

 

When you start a TF and you can't enter any doors for missions.  You try logging out and back in, but it never lets you enter the missions.  The team is nearly done with the TF and after everyone on the team has  been throwing out ideas all throughout, you finally realize you were still on an AE mission when you started the TF, but the game let you start a TF, anyway.

After missing so many times that I'm now half-convinced that my Build Up actually adds a -ToHit? Darn right it is. >_<

I'm convinced that there's a "wrap-around" bug with Aim/Build-Up that causes this maddening effect.  Wrap-around is when one exceeds a given range and it becomes a negative value, instead. 

 

The original Tetris for PC had this bug: the high score was capped at 8-bit maxInt, so when you played well enough to get past that value, your score actually decremented back down to 0 as you continued playing.

 

I think that if Aim/Build-Up pushes your +ToHit over the cap, it actually pushes it into a negative value (or is interpreted as such), and you're guaranteed to miss, because your ToHit is now less than 0.  Every time I hit Aim, Build-Up, and snipe, I always pray: "please don't miss, please don't miss, please don't -- G*D*IT!"

Or wonder why the exit from Echo: Galaxy City to Perez Park is blocked off.

Just a heads up: the tram doesn't work there either.

A previous version of Civilization had this.  Every NPC ruler had a hostility rating from 1 to 255.  If your government type was democracy, they tended to be more friendly towards you and subtracted 2 from their hostility.

Gandhi started with a rating of 1.  Subtract 2 and it became 255 and he became more violent than Genghis Khan.

Originally on Infinity.  I have Ironblade on every shard.  -  My only AE arc:  The Origin of Mark IV  (ID 48002)
