Master Plan Question

[MasterMarkie]

I have used Master Plan for a very long time and have never seen this pop up before and I am unable to do anything until I solve the puzzle? I've tried guessing, but so far haven't figured it out. Any ideas?

It's a really bad april fools joke. Answer is 83.

Would have been moderately funny if they'd given you the information you needed to calculate the chance, but since they didn't give the mission level, all you can do is estimate and guess, which takes it from "maybe kinda funny" to trolling.

It's also poorly coded enough that it seriously fucks up some other parts of the UI (like not being able to open the game menu or use slash commands).

This bullshit means I'm now looking for a MasterPlan replacement.

No add-on should PRESUME it's important enough that it can interfere with the game like this. Not even for the poorly-thought out "giggles" of the programmer(s). ESPECIALLY for the poorly thought out "giggles" of the programmer(s).

It's people like this that allows mediocrity to flourish.

Thank you! I just went google crazy trying to find how to calculate the answer lol what is it a reference to?

[JemiS]

It's not a reference to anything. You just have to randomly guess numbers until you find the one that works.

It's a really stupid joke.

If only there was a way you could turn off add-ons.

If only there was a way you could turn off add-ons.

It's a bit harder when the add-on disables game menu, escape key, and slash commands requiring you to force quit the game to turn off the add-on.

Without that little bit of dickery, it would have been a lot more amusing.

Restarting the game to disable an addon. The struggle.

[Fabinas]

funny, i just did the garrison tables of 20 chars and not once has this popped. what version of Master Plan do you use guys?

[Wishblade]

I guess I was too late to this party because I didn't get this stuff earlier or now when I just updated Master Plan.

Guessing I needed the current version earlier to see the thing and now it's disabled maybe.

[Tenjen]

it was simply enough to calculate based on how the garr quests work (something we've been doing all expansion long).

People are WAY over reacting to a temporary and minor inconvenience. Like spoilt children really.

It is a forced meme that is way too overused by sites like reddit and it seems the trend has been copied by others. April Fool's is not meant to break the internet and annoy people. It's supposed to be something you do on the side with friends when it is applicable. When it is a blanket annoyance to ALL your users you overdo it.

game devs have been doing this stuff publically as long as I have been playing games, which admittedly is only about 18 years.

Oh the horror, I'm sure the developer cares so much that you will stop using the addon he created for free. Grow up. Besides, I've got $20 that says you'll continue to use it despite saying you won't because it generates free gold.

Protip: Garrisons are gone next expansion anyway so it is really a moot point.

Amen. Fun is fun when you choose to indulge in a prank and you're with friends. Forcing "fun" down everyone's throats ... isn't fun anymore.

Would you like some cheese with your whine? Good lordy, this is sad on a whole new level.

Everyone that says they could calculate it really obviously doesn't know how to calculate garrison missions, because you could not.

There was no base level on the mission, so it was impossible to factor in the item level of your followers, meaning best you could do was ballpark and guess.

Apparently it generated so many issues for Curse that they threatened to pull all of his addon's if he didn't fix it immediately, hence the patch about an hour after it was released.

He also got yelled at, a lot, in IRC for his really sloppy code that had unintended effects (i.e., disabling game functions outside of the garrison UI).
