Disappearing opportunity cards Messages in this topic - RSS

Is anyone else having the problem of cards disappearing? It happens when I open the card, then switch to Myself and change my outfit, then switch back to Story. I just noticed this happening yesterday and was thinking I must have been mistaken but it has happened now about 8 times and I am no longer thinking I was mistaken.

Where do I post a bug report?

I would e-mail support@failbettergames.com

Be sure to explain the circumstances under which it occurred, your browser, and whether or not you have any browser extensions which could be relevant.

Wiwo. Almost certainly not a squid in a cunningly tailored suit. Surely.

Care for some cider? Here's how to ask me for some. Strange pranks strongly preferred.

Care to pet a Heptagoat? Too bad. It doesn't do anything (probably).

I'm a Correspondent and would be delighted to lecture at your orphanage.

The cards you opened may have had some stat requirements, e.g., Watchful 100. After changing your outfits you may not have met these requirements (*either* min or max), and thus these cards would disappear. So I'd recommend keeping track of what cards you've opened before switching outfits, and noting what stats have changed after that too.

I kinda doubt this happened 8 times to him/her/squidperson, though I noticed that some cards disappear in these situations and others don't no actual idea how it works though(I remember I just couldn't go on some cards that I didn't have the requirements for, they were just there in my deck).

If the FL script is still anything like the StoryNexus one, it's possible that some of the cards are set to discard themselves when their conditions are not longer met while others are set to stick around but be unusable (the setting is called "transient event" in SN). I'm fairly certain I've encountered both kinds in FL. If the original poster has lower stats, there are quite a few cards that have min/max stat requirements. I'd guess that they're drawing these, seeing a dangerous (just an example; other stats would be the same) challenge, equipping their dangerous gear to make it easier, and getting ejected because they go over the level cap [Edit: I meant max stat requirement for the card]. 8 times doesn't seem too frequent to me.

McGunn/Bsymstad is on the slow boat, waiting to see if he can find out what death is. (I'm done with London for now. Thanks for everything!)

@PumpkinHead, yes, that's what I was referring to as well with the stat requirements. I don't think I've seen this happen in other situations, but I think it's possible the transient event logic has a bug smile

I doubt it was that since I was switching to the outfit that allowed me to have a better chance. I always remember the cards just not working anymore and never saw them disappear before. But it could be I just never had these circumstances before and I just hit a level that made these cards not work anymore. I'll start tracking it and do a bug report if I think it is a bug. And update this post.

That's exactly the situation that has happened to me in the past. I remember it happening a lot with one card in particular:

http://fallenlondon.wikia.com/wiki/A_Meeting_of_Cats

It requires Shadowy be inside a range (33-66), and has a Shadowy check. At least half a dozen times, I entered the card, then put on my Shadowy outfit and ended up exiting & auto-discarding the card because I was over 66 Shadowy.


There are a handful of other cards where the same thing happened, but this one stuck in my mind since it's the one where I figured out what was going on.
