Possible bug 3.1.0?

[Rizwan]

I did not want to clutter the forum by posting yet another possible maybe bug but it seems that my post in another bug thread seems to have gone unread, so I will try here.

I don'tknow if this has been reported before but playing 3.1.0 beta on windowsXP, I saw a leather shield [6,-1] in the armoury with store ownerDecado. Also when I tried to screen dump it would not let me ( its ")"to screen dump right? ). So I took a screen shot and attached it.

Thanks for the report.

Is it really a bug? I'd certainly be happy to buy a longbow(-1,-1) in preference to a shortbow(+0,+0).

I see your definition of bug is still what everyone else calls a design flaw.

No, this is not a design flaw - as you say, there's nothing dramatically wrong with it. But it's definitely not the expected or intended behaviour, therefore it is a (minor) bug.

But should it be unexpected and unintended? I'm not sure.

There is a major reorg under way, and many things to which we are accustomed should be reconsidered. I'd also prefer to buy a longbow with an icky-wield curse in preference to a shortbow. There are plenty of "cursed" consumables I would have been happy to buy in past games.

I don't think this argument is closed. In fact, I don't even think we understand what we should be arguing about yet, so IMO it hasn't even fully opened.
