I got the message to not go to punch, but I wanted to know what was wrong with him. One person thinks he only gives low right now. Does anyone else think they know what is wrong with him?

Shadows don't cast light, do they?

I was wondering the same thing. I went and checked him out, but due to low funds I can't roll anything so *shrug*. Guess we wait for some informed people to reply to this. Or for the update to go through and hope that an explanation is in the description.

i do have enough, so i decided to check it out...

it was probably a a bad idea, but since i had the extra money... I rolled on a heavy shard bomb, and got ctr low. i rolled on a spike shower, and got fiend low. i probably agree with pipipipipi about only getting lows

It's not only getting lows, that's just Punch doing his job.

I punched my DA and got Gremlin Low, but everything went through fine, money was taken, I kept my item.

i was with a couple of people

i was with a couple of people just now who went to punch and they got ctr medium and someone got slime low, so the the problem cant be that there is only low, some people got medium

I just punched and got med

I just punched and got med fiend, someone punched and got med ctr so its not that.
It could be that he's giving out sleep resist UVs

Make us look bad?

Maybe it's just a scheme to make us do what they said not to do. and then make us look like hippocrits?

Like a 'Why should we listen to you if you're not gonna listen to us type of deal'?

Roses are red, murder is blue, yet they don't have a clue.

I hope a GM comes soon and clears this out for us, otherwise, we are in a whole lot of fog unless someone packed Defog

I heard the bug was that people can have multiple of the same uv on one item due to a lock mechanism logic bug.

But why on earth would they just up and change the logic for punch? That makes so very little sense.

Clear up the confusion

Let's put it on record here: who said what about Punch?

My research (a few hundred recorded Punches but not quite complete) shows that Low UVs make up around 75% of all UVs. So it's expected for people to get more Low UVs...

As for the Sleep or Repeat Type UVs... they removed Sleep years ago and fixed the Repeat bug a short time after Punch appeared (if I remember correctly). Could someone confirm that something weird is happening? Preferably with a screenshot?

PS: OOO, please, for the love of all things frosting covered, do not change the UV tables. I may cry.

Desist at once!

MASQUERAIN used DEFOG!

The whole point of Punch is it's a gamble. You could get that amazing CTR VH ASI VH Sudaruska you always wanted... or you could get something as objectively cruddy as an Undead Low Biohazard. It's like a slot machine, except it always takes your rings, and never throws grenades at you.

Fun... Is... INFINITE.

I never really tried punch out, all I ever got was Slime low on DTB, CTR low on Glaucius, Gremlin Med on Autogun and I think Slime low on The Edge.

I heard the same as Petater, that Punch was allowing people to roll the same type of uv on one item. It doesn't sound like any of the probabilities were affected or altered though. Unfortunately wasn't online at the time, so can't provide any verification.

yesterday was a greedy day

yesterday was a greedy day for troy, as far as i'm aware punch is functioning fully, i got a couple lows meds and highs and one shitty very high that makes my gear awkward.
Didn't notice anything wierd like "sleep resist" or "damage versus unclassified/tortodrone/vanaduke" or something, none of my items got unbound or removed.
Just in case though, i didn't roll over anything that has a 1x or 2x i want to keep, like my shock max vog coat or my asi med ctr med voltedge
I don't feel like the spread was any weaker than normal, or that anything wierd was happening.

sorry you're too late guys

A mail went around saying there was something wrong with punch on the 16th. If you weren't online, you wouldn't have seen it. A second mail went around 90 minutes later saying it was fixed, and both these emails were later automatically deleted.

So everyone rolling after the 16th, punch is now normal anyway. The issue was because punch was occasionally allowing people to roll two of the same UV on one item, for example an asi med and an asi low on a brandish. This meant that potentially you could have asi VH and asi med on the same sword, which would mean max asi with no other buffs.
