I have Ms. Grim in my address book as a connector. I only have room for 1 job, yet after taking a job from her she still offers me another one. I assume this is a bug. I have not tried accepting the second job to see what happens. This is on the Elite version should it matter.

drudj - if you take the second job, it will work and I think she will give you 3 total before stopping. In previous versions, Ms. Grim had a real interest in giving you lots of jobs. I believe this is fixed in the most up-to-date market version (3.0.21). Please confirm! Thanks.

Confirmed, still exists in latest version. I have a five job computer and was able to get ten jobs from her. Could've gotten more but stopped at ten.

All games have certain exploits, a way for players having a hard time to get a little ahead.
i think mrs. grim works just fine the way she is.....
(even though i have not been able to find her yet.)
i mean, i have found both a reputation exploit to make a faction like you no matter if you are at -95, in just a few minutes.
also a way to keep from getting killed in any conflict.
part of the fun of playing a new game is looking for those so called "4th walls" where you can break outside of the confines of what the game is supposed to do.

Thanks for the bug reports.
Everyone who submits useful information helps us improve the game and I'll check on the job count system for Contacts. It probably isn't just Ms. Grim

Usually if a dev releases a game in beta they want you to try to break/crash/exploit the game in any way you can. Playtesting is vital to the further improvement of the game. After all there's no leaderboard here for someone to cheat their way to the top. If you post something here then others can test it on their own phone ...maybe it only works on your phone. A responsible mature gamer will usually choose not ruin their own experience with cheats. However, if some gamers really enjoy huge stats and money with NO challenge left in the game at all then perhaps they should move on to a game with the aforementioned leaderboard.

Totally agreed on that. We're not playing on iPhone, for God's sake. Some bugs may appear on certain phones but works well on others. It may be an isolated incident or just the way the HARDWARE or the VERSION of Android we're using. @ Volyren Nightsong: We are not playing an MMORPG here. If you post your bugs and inform what phone model you have, we can try to replicate it on our own phones to confirm if it is universal. You'd be doing the Trese Bros a huge favor. |

its nothing big time.
ive already detailed the rep shift, but it is NOT replicatable.
cory knows about it. i beleive he said it was problem # 63 (?)
as for the other, there is no real way to test it, as it cannot be fixed. it should work for ALL phones. and that is the reason i did not want to let it out.
but hey, be my guest.
if you want to survive any encounter, then you need to decide when you are probably gonna get killed. as soon as you know you are gonna bite the bullet (even if you are already at 0 hp) then stop the game before you go to the game over screen. (put the phone in lock mode)
then open the back of your phone, and remove the battery.
then re-insert your battery.
once you reboot, and start cyber knights again, you will be in the exact spot where combat began, but you are no longer in combat. there are no enemies. and even if you are at 0 hp, you are not dead, and can heal.
if you wait until the game over screen though, then you are out of luck.
this has to do with the way the game auto saves your game every move. it (as far as i know) cannot save DURING a combat exchange. therefore, if you are gonna get killed, you can save yourself.

I'd rather die than do something like that to damage my beautiful phone.  |

it cannot damage your phone.
your back slides off so that you can replace your batteries.
there is no dissasembling your phone.
its just like taking the batteries out of your xbox controller.

There is only so much fighting the user I am willing to code.
If power is removed from the phone, some state is lost.
My games are always designed to with more focus on recovering from crashes than they are on stopping this type of crash exploit.
As with ST, in CK there will be built in game-play penalties from loosing / destroying game state.
