Dev: i swear to god what did you do this time

Dev: if you crashed the server again i will eradicate you i swear

Carl-12: nope not this time

Carl-12: you remember those level 1 slimes in the starting area?

Dev: yes

Carl-12: they have a regen effect where they regain 1 health per second.

Carl-12: well i figured out that there attack also increases with the re-gen

Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.

Dev: oh well that not to bad

Carl-12: but wait there more

Dev: i swear

Carl-12: it seem like all stats increase from the regen, not just the health

Dev: oh well, i can just push a patch, it should be fine

Carl-12: ...

Dev: what?

Carl-12: i also discovered a bug where combining the "amulet of ferrous" and using "immolation poison", you can make enemies do fire damage to you

Carl-12: and since the amulet turns all fire damage into healing. the enemies attacks heal you as long as you have enough poison

Dev: i dont like where this is going

Carl-12: i just wanted to see how far it could go

Dev: WHAT DID YOU DO?

Carl-12: ... i MIGHT have grinded enough poison for 12 hours of the effect and then set up a bot.

Dev: oh god

Carl-12: i did not mean to release it, i woke up late and the the bot had already run out of poison, and was killed

Dev: you fucker, let me go check

Carl-12: so whats it up to anyway? stat wise

Dev: ... 4 million, 4 FUCKING MILLON

Carl-12: lol

Dev: even the hardest enemies in the game, have a stat total of less then 400

Dev: it has 4mil EACH

Carl-12: at least you know the game can handle stats that high now?

Dev: carl, it has a kill count of 1,200 players

Carl-12: they just need to grind harder, git gud noobz

Dev: i swear one of these days carl, one of these days.
