Maxing Stat Early = Bad?

[Para]

i just noticed my hunewearl's ATA is in gold font at lvl 70 so im guessing it is maxed. when i lvled up i was supposed to gain +1 ATA but it didnt happen... im only maxed if i have my mag equipped though...

so maybe if you have a stat maxed because of your mag... its better to take it off before you are about to level?

Look at this...

This is maybe an interesting stat BUG....

note: my screenshots arent pretty since geekshelf is going down and MSN likes to reduce the resolution of my screenies >.<

I lvled but... i didnt get a boost in my ATA at all!
could this be the +.5 and that the unit actually gives an extra .5 to ATA?

Yea. Take it off when you about to level.

[Celes152]

On the DC versions you would keeping gaining a certain stat until it was maxed with no equipment on, even if it was yellow. Odds are, that was one of those levels you weren't going to gain an ATA anyways.

An example would be if you equipped four God/Powers to max your ATP, well it would still give you ATP at level up until it reached max without units in..

i was just doing some experiments and guess what... if you have units on and your stat isnt max... i didnt gain any ATA for some reason... when you have your mag and units equipped and your ATA is maxed... before you level up check out your stats with all ATA gains removed and lvl up... you will noticed that your ATA will actually DECREASE.
Look at the screenshots!!! X.X;;

Hmm. Because even though my MST was max with MAG I'd always gain 3 or 4 a level reguardless..wow...did V2 really look that bad? I've forgotten. x.x

[Para]

graphically no... the poor screenshots are a result of the MSN Photos method of compression >.<

[Elixer]

with ata you dont get +1 every level up most of the times at ghigher levels you get +1 every other level

[rena-ko]

i think your mag has an .5-increase in ata. you'll get 0.5 ata per level so you only get 1 full ata every 2 level.
hm... dex raises ata, right? does your mag has an odd number in dex?

and about the gold-stats - its okay the way it is. you can only max yourself out via level-ups and materials... temporary raises via units and mags dont count when leveling up.

[Para]

then why would my ATA would decrease when i lvl for one of the situations??? explain

[rena-ko]

hm... you took off the pictures?
well... it decreased after you took off the mag. so far so bad. since i cant see the pics and dont know the exact stats you had, i can only speculate...

i guess you mean, ata decreased compared with before the leveling? hm... this is strange... maybe just a glitch...
could you please make the pictures available again?

anyway... its v2, theres no mat-limit yet - so i wouldnt care so much about the actual stats...

[Para]

ok i updated the screenshots.... this time i added some more evidence...

[rena-ko]

for your new pics:
when your mag has a dex of 3, this seems ok.

the screenings that pop in when leveling seem to be preset - so you get your .5 ata every level but it says +1 every 2 levels... so... you get +1 ata (with an odd dex at your mag) even if its not saying so.


for your old pics:
you unequipped the mag but not the units right? and ata got decreased by 4 points? hm... more than strange...

the decrease seems to be a bug... but then again, find yourself 5 hit-mats and youre set... ^_^

(sorry for not being of much help)

[Para]

i just hope someone can confirm this on their PSOs..
