requesting extended stay bugged

[Raksha]

And again....you keep going with it being bugged programming because you don't like the way it caps your requested time. Disgreeing with a program's mechanics and it actually throwing errors are two completely different things. THIS IS NOT A BUG IN THE PROGRAMMING. The responses may be confusing because you don't seem to fully understand what it is doing, but it is doing what it is supposed to be. A bug in a program means it is erroring and allowing an exploit, crashing, or simply just doing something other than what was intended. It IS doing what was intended...not allowing you to use stones to extend your visitant time for more than the initial 120 minutes in a single session. If you don't like the fact it is capping your ability to go past your first 120 minutes with stones, then fine... call it retarded and disagree however you want, but don't say it is BUGGED CODE because it is not bugged, you just don't aggree with the mechanic. Flawed design concept, yes, but glitched? Not if it is capping you and preventing you from using stones to go past that first 120 minute cap. That is what it is SUPPOSED to do.

Again, it is designed to only allow you to use saved time and stones to get to your first 120 minutes. Once you've hit your first 120 minutes of time via saved time, TE, and/or stones--you can not add any more time unless you get it from a TE chest. If you use a stone to add time and that point and it were to put you past your first 120 minutes, it will be cut off and only let you extend it to the 120th minute, the rest is just discarded because you can't use stones to go past the first 120 minutes per session. That is the way it was designed. As stated in the initial release from SE--you can initially request up to your first120 minutes with stones/saved time, and there are other methods to extend your time past that initial 120 minutes (meaning, you have to pop chests to go past 120 minutes in a single session).

Ok i've gone back and re-read the entire thread. I've only mentioned the word 'bugged' three times, all of which were in my initial post. (EDIT: and once more on page 2, where I specifically said that I didn't think it was bugged)

Let's re-read my initial post and attempt to resolve our disagreements:

Yeah that menu has been bugged for eternity.

Here I was responding to the OP. He used the word 'bugged', so I used the word 'bugged'. I understood what the guy meant, and didn't want to be pedantic.

If you go above 120 minutes, then down below 120 minutes, trying to add time will result in you getting 0 extra minutes.

This is pretty self-explanatory.

That's either seriously bugged, or a massively retarded design. I choose to give the devs the benefit of a doubt and say it's bugged.

Here I was speaking tongue-in-cheek. It was basically a back-handed compliment. If this is the source of your confusion then I apologize.

Now that we agree that I don't think the menu is bugged, can we at least agree that it is a massively retarded design?

The menu, as it exists now, serves no purpose in-game.

If you go in with less than 120 minutes saved up, and 1 or more stones, you add stones to build up your time to 120 (or close to 120 if you don't want to go over). USING THE 'EXTEND TIME' MENU AFTER THIS POINT RESULTS IN WASTED STONES.

If you go in with less than 120 minutes saved up, and 0 stones, you set your remaning time and then you're done. YOU CAN'T USE THE 'EXTEND TIME' MENU UNDER THIS SCENARIO BECAUSE YOU HAVE 0 STONES.

the only potential use I see in this entire menu, is if you somehow don't add enough stones when you first get status, you can immediately add another stone to get up to 120 instead of having to zone out and back in. This almost never happens, and even if it did, you could just zone out and back in again, oh and If you get TEs that push you over 120 minutes, THE 'EXTEND TIME' MENU NO LONGER DOES YOU ANY GOOD.
