"More than four blah blah tiles" DOES NOT MEAN EXACTLY FOUR WE HAVE BEEN OVER THIS

THIS IS BASIC MATH WHAT PART OF 'MORE THAN' IS SO DIFFICULT TO PARSE CORRECTLY

  • Oh you mean Ultron's "Sentry Flyer". I read this and was like... ****? icon_sentry.png does nothing with a qualifier at all.

    I have not noticed if the description for "more than 4" to "destroy 5" actually triggers on exactly 4 mainly because I always leave Flyers for last and I usually kill them from >50% to very very dead.

    That said, it's not like this is the first time this has happened. Everyone remember when icon_blackpanther.png use to have <=12 and >=12 tutile.png creating strike tiles so you could get 6 with exactly 12? It is an easy and common programming mistake to make and fix, happens all the time. You should post in the bug report forum with screen shots, maybe they will see it and fix it.

    It could happen. They do read them. icon_razz.gif

    For fun I just tested this and OP is correct, Flyer's trigger their passive on 4 friendly tiles. It MAY have been counting my tiles by accident (bringing total to 6) but that would also be a bug.

    When one is outraged one is less likely to carefully parse one's syntax for confusion. Apologies.

    Not just Flyers, actually. They all have a "more than" or "fewer than" qualifier. Flyers have it for health. Fighters have it for Swarm - fewer than a set number and they swarm. Gunners have it for Core Fuckyou, and what makes it worse is that EACH OF THESE PROCS DEPENDENT UPON THE OTHERS. If Swarm pushes the # of enemy tiles above the threshold and a Gunner awaits his turn, the next thing that'll happen will be CRITS IN YOUR FACE BOOM

    they get that happy horseshit and they still get to move the board. So dumb.

    They actually addressed this in the Video, they will be changing the text for some "goons" to avoid confusion.
