edited November 2017 in Bug Reporting
Bug type: Gameplay Issue

Brief bug summary :

Star Force Enhancements Safegurad Feature costs Triple the Mesos insted of only costing Double the mesos.

More details :

When Enhancing using Star Force Safeguad Feature it has 2 Problems

1. it states "Pay additional mesos to prevent item destruction from 12 > 14 Stars"
And the Star Force Safegurd feature costs Triple The Mesos insted of only costing Double Mesos!

2. You can only use the Safeguard Feature from 12 > 14 Stars (14 > 15 You Cannont use the Safegurad feature )

( This is a bug as seen by in KMS) Their Star Force Safegurad Feature States:

"Pay additional mesos to prevent item destruction from 12 > 16 Stars"

And they can still use the Safeguard Feature when enhancing from 16 > 17 Stars

But not when enhancing from 17 > 18 Stars ( So that proves that is indeed bugged in GMS, and we should be able to use safeguard when enhancing from 14 > 15 Stars )

3. That's How the Safeguard Feature of the Star Force Enhancements should work :

* IN KMS From 12 > 16 Stars you should able to safeguard even when enhancing from 16 To 17 Stars

* IN GMS from 12 > 14 Stars you should able to safeguard even when enhancing from 14 To 15 Stars

2. When using the Safeguard feature when Enhancing with Star Force from 12 > 14 Stars it Costs Triple Insted of Double the Mesos!

( And it the Patch notes it has Stated "Added the option to prevent item destruction for Double the meso cost to Star Force Enchantment"

* Not Triple the mesos so it's clearly a bug

So clearly in GMS the Star Force Safeguard feature should be able to work

* when enhancing equpis from 14 > 15 Stars Please FIX IT!


Steps to reproduce :

1. Enhance your'e equip with the Star Force system up to 14 Stars (With safeguard)

And then from 14 > 15 Stars Try enhancing using the safeguard feature

( it says on the Safeguard when you hover over it "Use Additional mesos to prevent item destruction from 12 > 14 Stars"

* it means that you should be able to Use the Safeguard feature when star forcing equpis from 12 > 14 Stars

Ie: 12 > 13 > 14 > 15 ( Yes it should work when enhancing from 14 > 15 )

*but it's borken right now in GMS and only allows to use the safeguard feature at 12 > 13 > 14 ? ( It should be 12 > 13 > 14 > 15 )

* 12 > 14 ( Means from 12 stars up to 14 Stars , so yo should be able to also Enhance from the 14 > 15 Star)

* Again in KMS it's from 12 > 16 Stars ( from 12 > 16 Stars ) it means that they can also enhance it using the safeguard feature from 16 > 17 Stars, but not from 17 > 18 Stars.

Expected result :

You should be able to use safeguard when enhancing your'e equpis with star force enhancements with the feature safeguard

* From 14 > 15 Stars ( 12 > 14 > 15* )

Reproduction rate :

100% for Both of the Issue that i have mentioned above

Please fix both of theses issues thanks and have a nice day :)

Character name: Ushër

Character level: 211

Character job: Phantom

World name: Bera

Date and time of the incident: 11/12/2016 9:36 AM PST , After the Strange Stories Update V177


( Here is a video and look that the Safeguard feature when he enhances from 15 > 16 > 17 ( is still clickable "White" ) and when he enhances from 17 > 18 the Box is greyed out

meaning he can't use safeguard.

( Look at 2: 21 , 10 :41 and at 11:46 ( You can see that can use safeguard from 12 > 16 > 17 ) And in KMS the Safeguard feature is from 12 > 16

Meaning from 12 Stars to 16 Stars and from 16 Stars to 17 Stars, so in GMS it should be from 12 Stars to 14 Stars to 15 Stars!

    Can i please get a response ?, we should be able to safeguard untill 15 Stars not 14,

    And when safeguarding it costs Triple Insted of Costing Double the mesos, it was on the patch note that you said

    You can pay mesos now to Protect an item against destruction , it should costs Double the mesos, but currently,

    when using the safeguard feature with star force enhancements it costs triple the mesos!

    Please reply and fix it,

    Thanks and have a nice day :)

    This is still not fixed, Star force enhancements takes up 3X the mesos needed to Safeguard, and we can't cannot safeguard past 14 Stars.

    This is still not fixed. maybe the safeguard feature up to only 14 stars is intentional, but the meso cost should be double not triple the cost!

    Any response please? i mean i get that we can't safeguard untill 15 stars, but it should cost double and not triple the mesos! ?

    ( Currently using Safeguard when Star Force enhancing, the meso cost triples but instead it should only cost double)

    Or, is that intended because of the Mesos ratio in GMS is different to the one in KMS ?

    Star Force safeguard still costs Triple the amount of mesos, instead of costing double the amount.
    and it still only works from 12 to 14 stars, instead of 12 to 15 stars.
    wD95w0H.png( it says from 12 to 14, meaning from 12 stars untill 15 stars )
    you can't use the safeguard feature from 11 stars untill 14 stars, and yet the safeguard features works from 12 to 13 stars ( 12 stars to 14 stars )

    for example:
    kSLB3hP.png
    ( here's a ring that from 13 to 14 stars costs : 13,101,500 Mesos to star force without safeguard )
    JV6o0Jl.png
    ( here's the same ring from 13 to 14 stars, and it costs : 39,304,500 Mesos to star force with safeguard )

    *notice that starforcing the ring from 13 to 14 stars with safeguard costs triple the mesos instead of costing double the mesos.

    it's supposed to cost: 26,203,000 Mesos when you star force it with safeguard, but it costs : 39,304,500 Mesos to star force it with safeguard.
    ( triple the cost, instead of double the cost )
    • 13,101,500*2 = 26,203,000 Double the cost
    • 13,101,500*3 = 39,304,500 Triple the cost
    kOT1MPZ.png
    ( notice how the safeguard square is greyed out, meaning you can't check it, so you can't safeguard and the star count is 14 to 15 )

    no it's not, it says you can safeguard from 12 to 14, meaning from 12 star to 14 star ( 12> 13 >14 >15)
    *if it's indeed intended they should change the wording from 12 > 14 , to 12 > 13.

    so you can safeguard at star force level 12 and 14, means 12 > 13, and 14 > 15. ( but we can safeguard from 12 to 13 (14) )
    we should be able to safeguard from 12 > 14 (15)

    ps. you star force from 12 stars to 13 stars, and from 14 stars to 15 stars, so 12 > 14 (means from 12 stars all the way to 15 stars 14 star > 15 star )

    *if it's intended so that we can only safeguard to 13 (14) then, the wording should be changed from 12 > 14 to 12 > 13.

    pss. in kms they can safeguard from star force level 12 > 16 ( which means the can safe guard from star force level 12 all the way to 17 )
    * 12 > 13, 16 >17.

    TL;DR: 12 > 14 means you can use safeguard at star force level 12 > 13, and at star force level 14 > 15. ( so it is indeed a bug )
    and 12 > 16 means you can use safeguard at star force level 12 > 13, and at star force level 16 > 17.

    how do you star force when you reach 14 stars or 16 stars you go up a star, just like how we have the event that gives 100% to 12 stars ( and we go up to 13 stars ) or that same even in kms, but it gives the 100% to 15 stars ( and they go up to 16 stars )

    also for star force enhancements levels 12 and 14, means from level 12 to 13, and from level 14 to 15.
