Strangest MP game ever

    So I'm fighting this guy on koi

    first strange thing I noticed, his priest heals 1 hp out of nowhere... well, you do see some strange visual quirks in CH at times, so I'm a bit surprised at first, but nothing to mumble too long about, I thought.

    Then his priest draws a card out of nowhere. I notice this because he plays a trait in the middle of the round. No inspiration played, no Altruism proc-s, nothing. He just popped this Healing Spirit out of freaking thin air.

    I question him in chat. He mumbles something about an healing card making him draw a card as well (he did play a minor heal and an invigorating touch). Then, after I keep questioning him" (I'm very suspicious at this point) he acts all cool and says "I don't know, but I'm not complaining".

    I'm left clueless. Was this because of something totally nuts going on in the servers?

    I saved parts of both the game log and chat log and have the other player's username. Sadly enough I didn't think about saving the whole logs at the end of the match (which I won btw), nor I took a screencap.

    I'll be glad to give the mods all the info they might need if that can help. Although I guess plenty of data about the matches is stored on the servers too.

    He didn't use any of those. Actually, the only armor the priest had on him was a Reliable Hide Armor.

    Either I'm missing something big, or else I'm really clueless.

    Without a log, there is nothing much we can do to help. If you feel there is a case, there are two things you can do.

    a) Treat it as a bug post and post the full log so everyone can see what's going on.
    b) Treat it as a suspected exploit and post the full log to a dev.

    Either way, there needs to be more data before a judgement can be made. Hope it helps. :)

    Is posting the log on the forums fine? I mean, that would involve publicly sharing the other player's username without his permission. Otherwise I would have done it right along. If that's the case I will post what I have.

    It's not like I'm accusing him of using exploits either. Aside from the shocker I got at first, I have no further evidence that might have been the case. I feel it's either a bug, a random problem on the server or something else I missed out completely.

    Well, there are already countless bug posts where usernames have been shared with all ...
    If you really feel sensitive to it, ie, said user may turn out to be your boss/spouse/gf/brother etc ... feel free to manually censor. :)

    There's a piece of armor that recovers 1HP whenever you discard it.

    oh! I think that might solve the 1hp myster then?

    And also, yeah Phaselock, I see what you mean. It's just I've been a member of this community for just 2 weeks, so I didn't want to take things for granted.

    I'm guessing Gaia played Escaping Run and drew a card which happened to be Healing Spirit.

    I don't see a 1 HP heal, but if Gaia had Gzellin's Boots which contains Toughened Hide Strips AND Escaping Run then it did heal 1 HP via discard and fits your description of events. Hope it helps. :)

    Some nice sleuthing there, gentlebeings. Hopefully this resolves any unlcear issues - also Bandreus, never be afraid to post logs if you have questions regarding how something was possible. Avoiding posting someones name is generally just to be avoided when "naming and shaming" is involved, in terms of bad behaviour et c.

    Awh. Yeah, that makes perfect sense.

    I I guess didn't notice he used escaping run rather than a normal run move (playing on slightly accelerated animations). And since the log only states "Gaia runs." that card didn't come to mind at all.

    Thanks everyone, you've all been great. That was appreciated :)

    If you hit F1 twice you'll see more detailed logs that include the full card names, and also the ID# of your battle so the devs can check things out themselves if necessary.

    I like the irony that your forum user icon is the escaping run card art. :)

    Agreed, but I believe it was actually due to the result of this thread that it came to that choice. Fun little forum backstory!
