Damage Limit
Hey, on the topic of your taking 8,000 damage, if you want, I could dig thru some of the packet data in GW to find out its absolute maximum. Put this here instead of the Archive because... well... This isn't an archive, lol. talk 15:45, 17 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Oh noes! *cries* Sure go ahead, will be interesting to know :-) - go do coding magic--[[Image:Cobalt6.jpg|50x19px]] - (<font color="Blue">Talk </B>/<font color="Green"><B>Contribs</B> ) 18:37, 17 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, the packet data was useless, however, the memory was very revealing. Your max health is a two-byte unsigned integer, meaning it has a range of 0-65535 (0xFFFF), so the most damage one could do to you is 65535, exactly equal to its absolute maximum.  [[Image:RHSig.jpg]] talk 21:17, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
 * You know, you might want to take that damage challenge down. Granted, my friend's surpassing of that was due to old skill functions, but still.... oh, and for a less disruptive (and more entertaining) recall of that: my friend JonTheMon 21:28, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
 * He should be happy, I broke GW for him, and I rarely do that for anyone but myself, lol. [[Image:RHSig.jpg]] talk 13:42, 20 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm not taking that down - it causes people to occasionally post on my talkpage :P @RH Does that mean you couldn't find any limit on maximum damage, but the absolute maximum health is 65,535? Because it is possible to sustain damage over your maximum health - e.g. take 8k damage from trebuchet when you only have 400 max health. This could mean that maximum damage is actually infinite, so that the game would allow for 999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999+damage in a signle packet :D I wonder why Base Defense only does 999 damage when its clearly possible to deal more damage than that in a single packet and it is easy to have over 999 health, maybe theres some problem with 4+ digit numbers in skill descriptions. You'd think that, logically, since base defence is clearly meant as an insta kill it would do a lot more damage, or be a lifesteal to get around Angelic Protection, or better still just be "Target foe Dies" - any ideas why they chose 999?--[[Image:Cobalt6.jpg|50x19px]] - (<B><font color="Blue">Talk </B>/<font color="Green"><B>Contribs</B> ) 15:23, 20 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Because without other modifications, you wont have 1k hp, methinks. And it recasts fast anyhow... You could survive it, but that doesn't help if it hits within the next second again :P --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage 17:37, 20 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, yes, but why not just have 'target foe dies'. Or a higher number than 999, why take 999 when you can have 1000 for instance, thats a much more round number. Also there is still the problem of Angelic Protection--[[Image:Cobalt6.jpg|50x19px]] - (<B><font color="Blue">Talk </B>/<font color="Green"><B>Contribs</B> ) 18:11, 20 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Does Angelic Protection work against Base Defense then? And 999 is a kewl numb0r, unlike 1000. It's only 1 dmg difference, but looks neater. Ever noticed the 9,99 prices? Or 9,95? Barely ever is it 10,00. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage 18:12, 20 May 2008 (UTC)


 * The .99 thing with prices is so stupid people will think, ah its only 99 pounds/euros/dollars/whatever, whereas £/€/$10/100/1000/whatever sounds more expensive. Though some people beleive that it is to do with old fashioned tills to force employees to give people change, thus opening the till and recording the purchase preventing them from pocketing the cash without the manager noticing. Surely with damage however, you would want it to appear more, thus deterring people from spawn camping attempts in AB. And yes, as far as i know Angelic protection does still work, though it requires co-operative team mates, and a specific and unhelpful to winning teambuild :)--[[Image:Cobalt6.jpg|50x19px]] - (<B><font color="Blue">Talk </B>/<font color="Green"><B>Contribs</B> ) 18:21, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Ok, technically i have access to vent, i just have no sound (intermittent soundcard failiure ftw) so theres little point me using it - my psychic abilities don't work over intarwebz, sadly :( Anyway I can log on now then - whats your IGN?--[[Image:Cobalt6.jpg|50x19px]] - (<B><font color="Blue">Talk </B>/<font color="Green"><B>Contribs</B> ) 19:04, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

 * (indent reset) I figured that since a person's maximum health could not go over a certain limit, that the programmers would not make damage capable of exceeding that limit, as if you take damage equal (or greater than) your maximum health, you die. Aside from that, it would make sense programming-wise, as most programmers like to do their jobs (within engine/system constraints) while using as few resources as their bosses will let them get away with using.  Resource Management FTW.  [[Image:RHSig.jpg]] talk 19:27, 20 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, Angelic Bond, Prot Spirit, Angelic Protection and >1300 hp is still certain death if you walk into Base Defenders. Epix lulz tho. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage 19:54, 20 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, our m4|) exp0rimintz have concluded that, now, even angelic protection does shit all against base defence - suggesting that it doesn't deal damage but instead causes health loss or operates in it's own mystical ways. We also concluded that even semi-competent AB teams don't seem to notice if two of their number do nothing but run around in circles, repeatedly charge base defenders and dance on a res shrine....or notice that they have invited a paragon with a staff :D -  SYNERGIEZ!!!11!! --[[Image:Cobalt6.jpg|50x19px]] - (<B><font color="Blue">Talk </B>/<font color="Green"><B>Contribs</B> ) 10:54, 21 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Lulz > Competency imo. But, seriously, they didn't even think I was shit cause I ran around with a Hammer, some mediocre skills, and attempting to kill myself. "Lets clear this shrine!" *Angelic bond, Angelic Prot, PS* 5 seconds later: "They spiked me with Lightning Orb."

Odd things be happening
Ok, so there i was, clicking the guild wiki link in my favourites, suddenly, my screen seemed to go black. I thought "what the hells this?". Closer inspection revealed that it was actually just very dark blue. I thought "wait a minute, guildwiki isn't blue!". Suddenly the normal guild wiki main page loaded (after unusual delay), though i use the word 'normal' quite wrongly. There was all kinds of hideous yellow banners and such like, and i remembered this from from one of those trial skins they had been thinking of implementing, that everyone voted against. I thought "Arg, its forking wikia dumping a new default skin on us". However, when i clicked on RC, the skin suddenly reverted to normal, and stayed that way. What happened there, anyone?

Thats not all, though. For the last few days i've noticed that when i first go on guildwiki, im not signed in, but when i click on the RC link suddenly im signed in (i first realised this when the 'new messages' box suddenly appeared when i clicked RC), but it continues to happen and is quite annoying.

Finally, Im not the only one whos commented on this but, RC and History pages seem to be going a bit wrong, showing people pre-emptively reverting vandalism, attributing changes by one user to another, not showing differences in red text, and, in my case, showing me replying to a comment on a talkpage that didn't exist at the time RC said i made the comment. Whats up with that?

Oh, and on a more positive but equally strange note, FF suddenly no longer screws my userpage up, yay! -- - (<B><font color="Blue">Talk </B>/<font color="Green"><B>Contribs</B> ) 12:49, 22 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I spammed Clear's between your userboxes, fyi. I personally only have the trashed RC/History pages, but that is because if I leave the RC tab open, and close FF, it opens the RC tab again, I think. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage 14:13, 22 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Oh, i see. Er, thanks for that :D May i ask why you undertook the boring task of spamming clear between my userboxes?
