Title: "Large Health Globes work like a Berserk Pack!"... No, no they don't...
Post by: ChaoticJosh on December 29, 2009, 22:37
I'm not sure if this is well-known or not, but I was doing a AoB run on 0.9.9 and while the description says that I can use Large health globes like Berserk packs, but when I actually do pick up a LHG, it just heals me normally. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, if there's some important omitted detail I missed, or if this is a bug and I've been gypped out of berserk by a bug.

This bug is known to everyone except Kornel.

Wait... someone actually found a Large Health Globe on Angel of Berserk? I thought that they were all turned into Berserk Packs for that challenge.

Next time that happens, take a screenshot of before the grab and after it, making sure that you get the text thing that says it's a Large Health Globe. Kornel might not realize that there are some Large Health Globes that aren't being spawned as Berserk Packs.

Personally, I've only ever found Berserk Packs on AoB, and no Large Health Globes.

<EpyonCF> that's intended
<Pokota> I... see... so is the AoB description in game outdated?
<EpyonC> yes

Intended or not, there's a bug somewhere - in the challenge code, OnPickUp in the AoB descriptior is set to a function which causes a 20 turn berserk whenever a large healing globe is picked up.  Yet the engine never calls it; probably an interaction with the special behavior of picking up powerups in general.
