Game Mechanics: Warrior Critical Hits Not Calculating Correctly

Doors · #1 10-18-2011, 03:35 PM

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.
