Help! Hire minion bug put me in hock! (in General)


Quark May 25 2005 2:04 PM EDT

I just hired a fourth minion and pressed enter after naming it (instead of picking which of the cost options: $600k or $250k). The system automatically picked the pricier option and put me $280k in debt so I can't even pay to heal. Is there a quick way to reverse this?

I have no more than 80k of non-rares to sell back to the store to cover this. Only other option is if someone can outbid me on the BTH and I can get my cash back.

problem solved.

Thanks, Nixon - I'll make a post in PR.

FYI: No warning screen. Pressing enter was accidental - I was about to click the cheaper option, and it refreshed to the train screen (mistake on a customized 5 button mouse). I didn't see the impact until I got back to the main screen.

i dont think it should allow you to go into debt anyways... thats just plain mean

Why would you ever want to pick the cheapest option anyway? That one is more of a joke, you'll get more value for money out of an average Double Chain Mail...

it shouldn't let you go into debt, though. I'll fix it.

The cheap one was to see if it was worth another archery target in ranged. I was going to test for a while, but I didn't expect huge resuts, so I was planning on firing it later. Anyhow ... Thanks to Nixon for the Loan, and thanks to Chocolate Thunder for outbidding me on the BTH (I guess ...).

this has occured before with some other people, they came to me instead of also posting it as a bug though...
