do you ever get mana while in this state? perhaps it has something to do with interrupt cat catching its own tail mid-frame. Also, does Options button work at all?
I never get mana in this state, so I have less than 100 mana left :(.
Maybe the speedhack/mouse recording programs contributed to the glitch somehow. Also, when creating a RO mana farm, should I focus on creating a large abundance of normal gems, or should I create maxed supergems one by one?
Yes, the mouse recording program did indirectly contribute to the glitch. You see, the program didn't respond for about 3 seconds when I was running my macro, and, as a result, some data got corrupted, leaving me with these weird half-gems. When I tried putting one from my inventory to a tower, it created a half-tower, and somehow, it also paused the game by preventing any monsters from moving / towers, traps from firing / wave bars from moving / mana from earning, etc.
What this means? I suspect that the corrupted gem (hmm...the effects of the Forgotten are at work here) did something weird to the way Flash processes the actions of firing and creatures moving, so now it's all backed up.
