Was there a combat stat adjustment of some kind?

I logged in today and discovered that I had 596 hitpoints fully buffed when I normally have 606 hitpoints. I lost ten hitpoints somewhere. I also appear to be taking around 20% more incoming melee damage fighting elves and wolves in Crags. Was there some kind of combat adjustment with the most recent patch, or should I bug report this?

 

did you look at night time (sun worhip skill loss of strength)?

 

Yes. I am aware that hitpoints can drop at night. I am also not using unusual shrine buffs, or missing any (I use the HP regen and focus regen buffs anyway, so they don't affect my hitpoint total) My nighttime hitpoints are naturally even fewer.

 

It seems like they fixed a couple of things, I can last again... versus mobs that I had some, but not to much trouble with before this last update.

Now... I can take on three Mobs again, without near instantly dying...

 

are you using the sun based str boost skill and it was night time?

 

Yes, at "morning" time - my buffs in "optimal circumstances" are still registering 10 hp short.

 

It's hard to say. Even strength gives you a HP bonus.

 

This isn't your character, so I suspect it doesn't matter to you. However, as I said in my original post, not only am I missing hitpoints, I appear to be taking more damage. Naturally, this is concerning.

 

like yes

 

@Ajivani they made changes to archery and I have noticed that I take more damage when there are archers in the mobs I normally fight. I always try to take the archers out first anyhow but this increase in damage taken is leading me to try to isolate the archers and kill them first.

 

Lol if you say so! i dont see 10hps making a difference in like anything.

 

FWIW, I have a few more hit points. I think some of the mobs have also. But I’m still killing them OK. It’s just balance - best to smile and nod. And I don’t think 10 hp one way or the other will make much difference.

 

So lets not discuss oddities seen that aren't accountable with patch notes and let the game be whatever it will be? Patch notes set expectations. Hints about changes (for example the new virtue armor not being fully spoiled about what is required) vs undocumented features which then comes across as bugs. As bad as the forum reaction to the Rapid Fire change, can you imagine the reaction if it wasn't in the patch notes? Just wake up, skill is acting very different, lost a good chunk of damage, no patch notes why. Would you assume its a bug? Or would you just smile and nod in the name of balance?

On Topic: Leather armor user here (Supple Epic), and seem to be taking a good 10-20% more damage from melee (not ranged/mages). HP also feels funky/inconsistent.

 

The point isn't the fact that it's 10hp, to answer your obnoxious comment. The OP is asking if they've missed something that's recently affected stats - it's important to know why and when things change, regardless of the amount, so you can make informed decisions about your character's progress and ability.

 

funny forum.

Oh i'm derailing, don't ban me

 

With all due respect, you seem to be missing the point of the OP.

To the OP...

If you've ruled out anything regarding "time of day" (as has been mentioned), then I would certainly report this as a bug.

There's already a bug regarding a non-filling healthbar that was supposed to be fixed, but isn't.
I already bug reported that one, and you should report this one.

The more info they have regarding non-filling healthbar's, the sooner they can find and fix the errant code.

And @Korim Rackham , it's not just 10hp's that's the issue.
I can have half my over 800 hp's not showing because of the non-filling healthbar bug, so yes - it IS an issue worth reporting (again and again and again - I have and so should the OP).....

P.S. Hey Port ! When you finally fix this very annoying bug, please mail about 100 Imbued Health Potions to me for the ones you cost me making sure I wasn't as low on hp's as your healthbar says..........

 

That has been happening for a looong looong time, dont set your self up for dissapointment

 

Yea, I've been reporting it since it began ( "a looong looong time" ago ) and it remains broken. (Actually it was fixed for a release or 2, but broke again).
