Oh, and to whoever posted about me being a nice guy...I am...I just don't like it when I try to help and people don't listen. I try very hard to be accurate in my facts and information. I even edited out part of an earlier post about the very KB article quoted about because I was trying to make the post less confusing and simplify it. I guess I should have left that part in to avoid all this mucking about straightening things out.

Well you flamed me for doing the exact same thing that you claim to do. Im just trying to help people. Ill see if I can get some screens uploaded of CSR answering my questions regarding acklay bones.

And You started flaming me with no reason at all to do so. Im stating the facts that can be found in the Holocron and that youll be told if you ask a CSR about it. I didnt flame anyone, you made a direct attack on me stating that I wasnt able to think, which I find completely inapropriate.

This started as a post of someone trying to get answers, I tried providing the answers and You started flaming me. Not my picture of a nice guy Im sry to say.

Reversed stats has a possibility of making weapons that will disregards damage mitigation which is why theyre illegal. Bones are still dropped that has to large a difference. bones with 60 difference or more are auctioned all the time and I dont believe that theyre all leftovers from when the Geolab first hit live.

If Im incorrect well great would save me lots of time and lots of flames it seems, but the Holocron and the CSRs states that Im right and as long as that holds true I at least wont put my name on exploited weapons!

How is this a bug?

Are you saying they are bugged because min>max?

That means nothing when it comes to Acklay Bones, Geo Cores, etc. All it means is that when you use that item as an enhancement, it will have a greater impact on minimum damage than they will on maximum damage. The enhancement adds to the stats listed on the enhancement, thus if you are looking at an Acklay Bone with say Minimum Damage 82 and Maximum Damage 61, it means that the minimum damage of the weapon the bone is used in will be enhanced by 82 points and the maximum damage will be enhanced by 61 points.

So, you can breathe easy and stop sending in tickets. Your bones are just fine, and possibly quite good depending on the stats. Higher minimum damages along with a good max are quite nice since the minimum hit is higher and you don't have to pray quite so much for lots of max or near max hits since the range between min and max is smaller.

Obviously you do not know much about this game.......

If you make something with Min > Max enhancements or anything for that matter, it will be deleted by a CSR. It has been stated millions of times by CSR's, correspondents, devs... everyone..

Hello peeps ..
I have set up in from Of entrance in My house about 28 Acklay Bones All of them With Bugged Stats min>max Dmg.
I wait for more than 1 week i have sent about 8 Tickets .. and still Nothing .
Any1 has any Idea about what to do ?

Thx

Contact a CSR not via ticket. Go to the chat room that is on the launchpad, ask for an in game CSR to come and switch the stats of some acklay bones which have min damage stat that is greater than max damage stat. A CSR, given that they are doing their jobs and not watching a movie, should respond to you pretty quickly.

I've never had a weapon turn out illegal form using such components.

you'd need a fairly large range between them. Only weapon that has a chance of this occuring is a stun baton.

okay I just had the following conversation with a CSR this should make it quite clear and hopefully stop people from misunderstanding or simply not believing the holocron:

Awesome job on blacking out Austin-Bs CSR screenname though. Forgot you had two windows open it appears.

1. CSR's have been reversing stats on all geo loot (bones, cubes, cores) for a long time. They typically do so promptly and without question because the devs have stated that geo loot was not intended to drop with higher min dmg than max dmg.

2. About two months ago, one of the patch notesincluded a correction that was being implemented to remedy the bug that caused geo loot to drop with min>max.

3. Using certain weapons made from reversed geo loot results in weapons that circumvent the intended effect of damage mitigation. That's why in some cases theseweapons have been confiscated when they come to the attention of CSRs.

There's really no need to insult people, especially when you are wrong. There's no sin in being wrong since it's not like we havea stickied thread from a dev in this forumstating the official position on these items but there is ample evidence to allow one to intelligently conclude that these reversed-stat items are unintentional and therefore shouldn't be used.

Am I the only one who thinks that if the devs really cared about this little "problem" that they would fix it already and be done with it? Maybe they just want to give the CSRs something to do... who knows *shrug*

I haven't looted any geo loot with higher min than max since they announced the correction a couple of months ago. It's possible this is leftover stuff but I'd also believe it if it was recently looted. Even if that is the case, it's not happening nearly as frequently as it did in the past and getting them fixed is really no big deal, you don't even need to be online to get it done, just leave them in a pack and include the house location in your service ticket and they'll be done by the next time you log in in most cases.
