Game Mechanics: NPC Damage, AC Values, Hit to Miss Ratio's

[Lazortag]

This is an example of a bad bug report. The op asserts that there's a bug but doesn't explain what the intended behaviour should be. His evidence consists of memory ("I never remembered [it being that way]") with no links to old websites, everlore archives, or anything that could support his claim. It's also unclear what the "bug" is - the thread title says "NPC Damage, AC Values, Hit to Miss Ratio's", but the first isn't clearly a bug (he's using a sample size of 1 mob which could very well just be a tougher mob since it's a guard, and hasn't said what the appropriate max damage should be for a mob of that level (he also doesn't say what the mob's level is)), the second isn't shown to be abnormal in his logs (the mob hits for max 28% of the time which is pretty sweet honestly), and the third is taken over a sample of six hits when his melee skill isn't even appropriate for his level.

I hope from reading this that you, too, can learn how to spot a bad bug report.
