Is this a bug or an exploit: Bug
(if a bug) How did the issue effect your gameplay: It sucks, coz I’m running Lazarus for loot
(if a bug) Were you able to recover from the issue: No
(if a bug) Please include a screenshot or video of the issue that you have experienced:
What are the steps to reproduce the issue as you experienced: Idk, equip tons of luck and go to Lazarus to experience no expertise bumps. It’s the same for the arenas btw.
Each of the bosses in Genesis and Lazarus guarantee an expertise bump if it drops an item you aren’t 590 in. If your Life Staff is 590 and the boss drops a life staff, you can’t get an expertise bump, so you don’t. Being 590 in everything except your jewelry will not force the bosses to drop jewelry for the bump.
Thanks for explaining this mechanic, now please explain me, how AGS made pearls produce negative luck AND if you can, please prove, that the problem with negative luck doesn’t exist anymore.
I don’t know why you think I have inside knowledge on how the luck mechanics work, but I don’t, sorry. I’m just letting you know that the wording of “each expedition boss will guarantee a random Expertise bump” is misleading and it’s not really a bug. It does guarantee an expertise bump on an item that drops, but it doesn’t guarantee that you will drop an item eligible for an expertise bump.
Which is incorrect, if you read the patch notes. Expeditions were meant to have guaranteed expertise bump, not guaranteed if all stars are aligned and it’s sunday. I don’t think you have inside knowledge, but for some reason u came here to explain how the luck mechanics works, while noone asked you to do that. Issue is simple: u have pearls - ur luck sucks, u don’t have pears, your luck is fine.
I understand what the wording says. I understand what it should do based on a common sense reading of that sentence, but what it does do is guarantee you a bump, if it drops an item that you aren’t max expertise in.
To clarify this more; the confusion is people don’t understand what expertise bump means. They assume it’s a bump towards your lowest or uncapped expertise level. When they say guaranteed expertise bump it means at any level, including 590, it just means you don’t roll on the floor of that expertise bracket, you roll on the exceed. If it happens to bring an uncapped expertise up that’s just the nature of being uncapped not directly the main outcome.
Think of it this way, if you were capped in all slots/weapons the guarantee expertise bump will make sure any boss drop is above 590, it removes the 580-590 floor.
You can look up the HWM datasheet, and head to NWDB discord and ask if you want to understand the mechanic more
My post is not about the understanding what expertise bump means, I know what it mean. My post is about the difference between dec patch notes and the current situation.
Im not gonna make the same arguments in 2 separated topics, which happen to exists, coz I can’t move/delete the first one. So i’m gonna post a link here, so u can read what I think about your point of view:
Nothing in that reply has to do with anything I’m saying.
A 596 item is a gauranteed expertise bump towards your 590 expertise. If you need to ask why that is re/read my reply or go to NWDB discord and get the info.
Which means it wasn’t a bump, but a bump attempt against 590 item. A “bump” happens, when the expertise actually increases it’s value, not when it fails to. And we are not speaking about the luck right now, this is the different topic and I have more data about that.
