Re: Orc Pride Feedback

I have had 2 experiences with the new Prides. My summoner was killed in Grushnak Pride. Main problem was Battle Call which I had no defense against. So that might just have been bad preparation (not sure what you need as prot. against that, Physical Save?). The Necro Pride was very dangerous but doa...

Re: b34 Missing dungeons

I also miss the Spellblaze in my current game, checked the same things like Martinuzz. Even tried to go down on every scarred tile to make sure. Playing with tiles. I'm also missing Elven Ruins, but that's not 100% sure of course. Other dungeons seem to be ok as far as I can tell yet.

Re: b34 Cursed! What happened?

Haha, no never thought about that. Not that I regret not having thought about it though, I'm fine with the curse. So this basically means doing Celia's dungeon is a possible extra generic. Or more, if it's possible to get cursed more than once. I wonder if that was intended or just a side-effect of ...

Re: NPC necromancer nerf

NPC necromancers are the only class that is consistently dangerous to every character that I have tried. That's odd... I'd consider Archers the #1 threat, followed by Paradox Mages and Archmages. Necromancers just earn an "Oh, yeah, those can be pretty strong too." Yeah, though I would ra...

Re: b34 Cursed! What happened?

Well, it might depend on the class/build one is using but so far I can agree that the curses are very minor indeed. In my case a lot of the time they mean nearly nothing (for a fighter maximum hate -1 , magic -x etc. is not an issue). And indeed, with only a very minor investment (it's just 1 generi...

Re: [Total spoilers!] Showing of Shockbolt's Sher'tul art

Just saw the first image in-game as well. Was on my 2nd far portal, so it looks like it's pretty random. Was a good scare btw as I suddenly saw my HP ticking down fast without being able to do anything about it --> especially as I'm playing Roguelike as a skeleton with Re-assemble still at just 4 :o

Re: b34 Cursed! What happened?

Aye, in fact the talents themselves neatly synergize with that. Items blessed with "Gift of the will" are not uncommon. In fact, with a little bit of patience, I might be able to reach the 4th tier and/or highest talent levels with just a minor stat points investment. Ofcourse, generic poi...

Re: b34 Cursed! What happened?

Because I play a fighter this is indeed a bit of a curse as I havent invested in Willpower which seems necessary to make the talents gain benefits... Those talents do not scale with Willpower, or with any stat. I know. But there *is* a WIL req. for getting the talents and/or raising their level. So...

Re: b34 Cursed! What happened?

I had the same thing happen to me. Didnt see what changed at first until I noticed that drops suddenly started having the 'cursed' prefix. Checking my talents again I saw that I had gained Cursed/Fateful aura skill group with 1 point in Cursed Touch. Not sure if it's the same for you, there might be...

Re: Massive slowdown

I have used it on my b19 mindslayer in the end fight. Before the change every turn would take anywhere between 10 seconds to 3 minutes. Now it runs perfectly smoothly. This certainly looks like the fix Darkgod, tyvm indeed :D Now I can make myself have one last desperate go at finally killing the PD...

Re: Slowdown on different OSes

XP 32 bit, 4Gb and a dual core AMD. Below average on todays standard I'd say. For me most problems seem related to large amounts of monsters. Especially summoning mobs are a pain. Deeper dungeons may add to the problems as it looks like Isle of Dread and especially High Peak are much worse than 5-le...

Re: Orc patrol pain

Dont forget boots of speed. If you find them before going east (which is quite common) use them while on the world map. It's much much easier to avoid the patrols that way. And if your way is blocked you can always try to lure them to the friendly patrols who often (mind you: no guarantee) will slau...

Re: [B19] Lvl 50 Cornac Mindslayer giving up on Elandar

Thanks DG! I think that will do the trick, biggest problem indeed wasnt Elandar being able to shield/heal/regen whatever but being able to PD extremely often. I'm not sure if I understand it correctly, but I added a snippet from stdout which seems to suggest he could PD every 3 seconds, in addition ...
