Maybe a backpack buddy bug

Unread post by Deo » Sat Dec 19, 2009 3:10 pm

A creepy song starts to emanate from your backpack as a mechanical hand stretches out and swipes an item from your opponent. Then the backpack shouts "¡Vámonos!" as the hand retracts.

You gain 1 stick of butter.
I also gained a stick of butter as a reward. So i'm guessing i can potentially steal anything twice from any opposition. Bug or feature?
I just think that if you were to have a rare drop or a semi rare item, it may drop twice.

if you are set up right you could steal the same item from a mob multiple times I think i remember having this happen in the DSQ kitchen..... but I could be wrong and sure the Gobd one will correct me if I am wrong or it could also be a bug.... but I think I asked that of Gobb already.... if I remember I think I got 3 prob milks in one combat from a fridge but it could be wishful thinking... and that might be spoiler IDK

Yeah it could be abused if someone just used combat items that didn't do damage. Maybe it should be that you can only steal one per combat for a maximum of 2?

Come on guys, we thought of all that when we designed it :)
Spoiler:
Yes, the backpack can steal items that you will then also receive when you defeat your opponent. Nice, isn't it? Yes, there's a TINY chance that the backpack will steal more than one item in any given combat, but only for the first n rounds (no I'm not saying how many) and I'm reasonably sure that the chance of stealing anything beyond round 1 is so slim as to make stasising totally not worth it for all but the most masochistic. Of course, if I'm wrong and this DOES prove to be a problem, it can always be changed later.

ok, so i decided to do a
Spoiler:
stasis/attack block run
, should be fun and masochist felt by all. :)
Spoiler:
So far i plan to use the Pudding pet, the TP, the Bio. watch interchangeably with the love bling, a 2007 Christmas shirt from the start of the run, and a buddy backpack. Should be oodles of fun. If anyone has any other ideas for this for me... hit me up. ;)
