I took screenshots of this yesterday but for some reason do not have a screenshot folder in my EQ directory and can't find where they are being saved to. I will post pictures of this whenever I log in tonight.

Basically the issue is that whenever a warrior critical hits, it displays one value and then registers the damage at a different value.

Example:

Soandso scores a critical hit! (46)
You slash a goblin for 55 points of damage.

I think the problem is that bonus damage isn't being calculated correctly because I'm level 28 and its giving me two different numbers whenever I land criticals or crippling blows. I'm also using Langseax of the Wolves so my damage bonus on it is currently 4 at level 28.

19/44 and a damage bonus of 4 at level 28.

Fixed it so that Critical Hit damage messages match the actual damage done.

Just sayin :P

So its actually intended that two different values are displayed? It's displaying a lower critical hit than what I'm actually swinging for, was confused why its doing that.

Also I don't know why but it tells me I'm taking screenshots from my game and it's not actually saving them anywhere. Recently got a new computer, dunno why this is happening. If I can fix the issue I will post what I'm seeing.

Run EverQuest as administrator. You're probably not being allowed write privileges.

right now i think your crit damage is just your extra damage. It doesnt include your weapon swing. That is the higher second number, the total of the two.

Doors, create a folder in your EQ directory called "Screenshots" - go in game, hit the screenshot button, and.. go check your newly made folder for the goods

Just don't install eq in program files lol.

Also, I think damage bonus always existed otherwise there would never have been any reason to have faster weapons vs better ratio in main hand. You just couldn't see it on weapons til later.
