We all know and use creatures.

What we read and discard immediately are the upgrade costs. This is an example :

 

Upgrade costs

Action points 50

Value points 2000

Sacrificed vitality 5000

Exploring Points 3

 

It seems that there is one status that is not taken into account for the upgrade: Exploring points.

When upgrading 1 creature ... you don't usually care about it, you have enough. For 2 creatures ... still plenty.

What about 12 creatures ? I did that much and still remained with 20 Exploring points.

 

Is it a bug or a feature ?

I assume you reloaded immediately after upgrading them all?

You didn't secretly ate delicious candy or voted before upgrading or fought some badass duel(s)?

??? I don't get your question ?

It took quite a few minutes to upgrade them all and I've seen the VE/VP/AP decrease but not the Exploring points.

Did you reload the page, upon seeing that it wasnt updated, to ensure it wasnt just a display issue?

what if it needs exploring points only the first time you upgrade a certain creature type to certain level (kinda like with scenes). would seem pretty reasonable to me

Possibility,  since you need the Exploration points the first time you enter a new scene.   Hmm......

Aaaa, it doesn't really matter. I upgraded 12 creatures requiring 3 EP each. 36 exploring points in total.

It showed the lowering of VP & VE, the increase of HEAT (and decrease due to saccing it) but the EP didn't changed.

 

So, unless you gain 20EP (or more) after each counter reset ... and I was lucky ... then it is an issue in the code.

Confirmed.

 

- upgraded 7 Bird Eggs to level 2

- returned to creature page

- refreshed

- noticed no change in current exploring points: max/max

- upgraded 1 of the birds to level 3

- returned to creature page

- refreshed

- noticed no change in current exploring points: max/max

 

I was gonna ask if it could be Trade Sense related, but then I noticed I only had 17 of that, so it can't be the case

And if that's the case, the Costs section shouldn't include exploring points :p
