Do you know if this website includes experience bonuses? This change things a bit.

Also, my program allows for calculation at any level. It's not nearly as elegant, however.

Explaining away the fact that the Skratti and Warlock didn't go back in as a "different priority" isn't defending the programmers.

Explaining away the fact that the developers didn't put out a 1 hour fix right after finding out the Skratti and Warlock was missing (in two patches now) as a different priority isn't defending them.

Explaining that parts of the user interface are infuriating, and aren't likely to get any better because the programmers don't like to do user interface work isn't defending them.

Feh.

But anyway, congratulations that you are getting the hang of programming. It is a quite handy skill http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Ps. What do you mean by "any level"?
