Starting on Dec 1, 2014 using melee weapons (and perhaps other activities - but I have no data on that) stopped giving me advances in speed skill at the normal rate. Since then I have gotten more points of fencing skill from using melee weapons than I have gotten of speed skill. I am attaching action logs from the end of Nov through early Dec for days when I used melee weapons. Compare speed skill increase rate (as compared to other melee weapon skill increases) from the attached files before Dec 1 (Nov 24, 28, 29, 30 - days when I used melee weapons) with the increase rate from the attached files after dec 1 (Dec 1, 5, 7).
I have sent in a bug ticket on this, but it's important to determine if this problem is specific to me or a general problem affecting everyone, so please check your action logs (Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\AfterWorld Survival\Action logs) for days before and after Dec 1 that you used melee weapons and let me (and the devs) know whether it is a general problem.
Thanks.
