Damage decrease issue

[NomReGard]

Did anyone else lose millions in damage? My Wizard lost two million damage and all I did was login.
This is not the first, second or third time this has happened and with power creeps and it very frustrating to lose so much progress every time, I have no idea how some players have so high damage I finally got to 8500m and now I am dropped down to 6500m which is a massive loss.

Worst yet it's not just one it's every character has lost massive damage for whatever reason, has anyone else been having issues like this?

The ballot box in W2 for last week was a damage boost. That is gone now.

You know I forgot all about that thing I normally spend very little time in w2 town, this makes so much more sense now.

That was my first guess too.

I have a similar problem but with construction. When I logged on today, I'd lost a crap load of player construction. (and I mean crap loads! ;p)

I have no idea how I lost that much as I never added or removed any player construction pieces.

Weird thing is, if I click one of the Squires on my board it shows TRIPLE my total construction, then if I jump onto another Squire & check them on the board the other one TRIPLES again & this one reverts to normal but the board total always stays the same. lol ;D

I'm going to stop caring as my construction is so high anyway lol ;p

EDIT:- mmmm, I'm now wondering if I levelled something unrelated to construction up, thus meaning there was "less" of an item, which effected my construction. ;D

I will check later as I cba'd at the moment & can't think of anything the top of my head.

There are several variables that make damage and other numbers fluctuate in ways that you can't (directly) see. The best way to see what your numbers for something are, is to exit and re-enter the screen. Sometimes the game takes longer to account for certain changes, like preset switches and talent levels.

Something I do if I really want to be certain, is (aside from restarting the game) use a 1 hour time candy to see if the numbers from the projected offline gains match up. Sometimes it still just doesn't help and other factors than the W2 slime ballot will change things offline without you changing a thing. Obviously that's much harder to pin down.

As for the construction problem,v it's probably somewhat connected to the above. I've seen it jump as well, the game doesn't seem to properly detect the talent levels (or other factors impacting construction), especially if you have several characters of the same type. If I remember correctly, the game only properly counts the character you last logged out of, and apparently for some other things only the class furthest in the back counts for things. I've seen someone say this applies to kill counts of berserkers, luckily my first one is the major cook and the latter is the killer.

Though, luckily, at some point it will make little difference in what preset your character is if you set one for fighting and one for skilling. Currently I have my single Divine Knight fighting, even though that one is in the skilling preset. That way passives impacting skills etc are always active so I don't have to go back to town to switch all the time. I don't really lose out on much but I'm also already at a point where I don't have to worry about most progress and try to max things. Right now getting W6 cards to 4*, all kills to 1 billion and just onyx'd the last W6 statue (still need some others).
