Hmmm, the background messages we cant see normaly.

Seems like every mob has it own id

Well, if each mob has an ID, it's one step towards proving that the mob's loot is more probably decided upon spawning than upon being looted.

On hindsight, it is also only logical that each mob has an ID assigned to it, since MA stated in the past that they can see the game from the perspective of any object or creature, so they obviously would need an ID for that.

Each mob must have ID in system. That's programming imperative.

very interesting

so, the skillgains seems to come in portions of 0.0001 to 1.0000? or more?

but what exactly implies "due to client miss"...

I doubt, such critical things will be decided on client side?
Or are there other kinds of misses, like "due to mob evade/dodge"?

My thoughts exactly....oh MA, you've given us a tasty little glimpse into your test server...and we want more!

Would client miss be due to lag?

hmm, doubt that.

would be illogical; due to lag, information is just delayed.

so, how can a decission be made (hit/miss) on missing information?

but if there is a timelimit... there could be a standard value to proceed (miss?

)
