Pretty sure ROB is bugged.

[Fermouth]

My first time as a thief, but I'm pretty sure I shouldn't be allowed to do this.

Level, stats, time frame.....  What about all of this makes you think it's a bug?

[Hydroponic]

ya rob should not be that easy at any level

[Mersinary]

Level, stats, time frame.....  What about all of this makes you think it's a bug?

Sigh..   Yes, I'm bringing up a old subject.   But anyhow, what makes you think that rob isn't bugged?  If you hadn't noticed...Thats 27 rob attempts in 1 room movement.  1 cloud, not 27 clouds.  No pause/delay inbetween rob attempts.

Yes, to me this looks bugged.

[Gardner Denver]

It's not clear, and he did not specify, if this was all done in one quick shot or if this was several spaced out attempts.  So I asked for, and never got, more infomation concerening those things.

[schwagg]

Looks like he also stole items the person was likely wearing.

GMUD IS BROKEN

[schwagg]

I have no desire to play on Gmud, Dragon. Your goading is elementary at best.



P.S. What ever happened to rule enforcement about griefing on non-pvp forums threads?

[Gardner Denver]

Keep the trash talk in the trash talk sections please.  Sorry Schwagg, just noticed this one.

why you sorry to Schwagg for?

I'm currently testing rob right now on a test realm.

It doesn't appear that you can steal equipped items, so that looks like it's working. 

I've confirmed the following logic appears to be working:
- You can't steal items that are equipped
- You can only steal an item if it is flagged as Robable
- You can't steal Cursed or MajorCursed items
- You can't steal Loyal items

I do need to work on the formula that determines the chance to succeed and I obviously need to put in some delays.  Does anyone have any input into how this works in Major MUD?  How long a delay?  Any ideas on success rates for high level thievery?

[Fermouth]

As this was last game I'm not sure what my stats were.
I sat hidden in a room, and spammed a macro for rob methos.
He never saw me at all, not even on the failed attempts?
I was lvl 40 at the time, I think.  Maybe 44 at the most.

Also, if you rob before attacking someone, you only gain 3 eps, instead of the 10, fyi.
