Thread: Bug with mind cost check

When you attempt an Image Design action, we all know the game checks to make sure you have enough mind to do it. Unfortunately this check overshoots it. I suspect that it doesn't factor in your focus at all (calculates the cost if you had 0 focus), but I don't know. For example:


Using the "Age" slider with 400 focus costs 517 mind, I think. Yet I have to have a mind bar of 800 in order to do it. This leaves me with about 1/3 remaining mind. (Not only that, if you don't have enough mind, the slider defaults to zero. I accidentally left a wookiee with a very small head this way. I think relogging fixed it though.)


I urge you each to test these bugs yourselves, /bug it, and make sure we mention it on the forums.

This is actually true of almost all actions that cost pool points. You have to have a bit over (at a glance it typically looks like it checks the cost unmodified by your secondary stats) what it actual costs to use the skill.

And being a percentage it's fairly noticable on the Image Designer actions.

That's very annoying. I wonder if it will ever be fixed.
