Beta test 1.0.5

[Crim, The Red Thunder]

It means that powers, saves, accuracy, etc, are no longer capped at 100 (displayed as ** ingame) This makes scaling past level 50 in the ID MUCH more controlled, and also affects late-game enemies, and nightmare/insane enemies with overscaled talents. The whole premise is to bring better balance.

The new marauder talents allow a very powerful build. ATM this is my favorite melee class.
Using a str/con/cun build i managed to get the "Overpowered" achivement - over 6000 damage in a single hit (unlike arcane blades who get these numbers out of many smaller hits). In comparison, the rogue unlock is merely 600 damage in a single hit.
Great class, nice mobility, good damage, good survivability, the best things out of berserker, rogue and bulwark.

If i unlock new class or difficulty level while playing beta, will it be persisted to my online account?

[SageAcrin]

It should be on your local achievements, which in turn will be pushed online whenever you use an online-capable version, IIRC.

New beta (105e) is up, same page http://te4.org/beta-test

[pizdabol]

1.05e. Minions won't loose life while Necrotic Aura is turned off. Not necessarily a bad thing.

Looks like saves aren't compatible within 1.0.5-beta versions.

I saved a game that was started a couple weeks ago, did a "git pull", recompiled, loaded the game, tried to go down the stairs, and got an infinite hang + Lua error.

(I'll paste the error here but I would assume the real cause is "you can't update git and continue playing").

nope sorry, I changed how the ressource pools are kept track of yesterday (rather, I fixed it so it works )

[darkgod]

You sure? I tested, they did

[Pythious]

Weapon Mastery (likely all of them, but tested Sword, Dagger, and Sling for sure) are not applying any bonus to damage. Physical Power does not increase nor does the % bonus apply.

Test performed: Made a new level one barbarian in 1.04 and 1.05, applied 1 point in "Weapons Mastery" generic talent for each. Compared character tooltip and character sheet damage for both, then double checked by attacking a creature.

Also, in 1.05e the icons in the level up screen for Technique / Combat Mastery wrap around to two rows. Hardly gamebreaking, just odd to look at. Oddly, it put 3 on one row, 2 on the next ... even though there is clearly enough room for them all to fit on one line.

Playing 1.05e (windows client)

[Zireael]

Any word on when 1.0.5 will be out? I want to know when to start requiring it for my module

[Crim, The Red Thunder]

'Soon'.

[exarion]

Oozemancer mucus oozes will sometimes become immortal and then turn into a clone of the oozemancer, which has some very strange behavior and can crash the game. This is reasonably common, as my oozemancer had about 7 clones lying around by the time she defeated Atamathon. Also, despite being a thalore, the sludgenest did not appear for her.

Not necessarily a bug, but oozemancers are massively overpowered. Atamathon went down in about 15 turns with almost no effort.

Also, in 1.05e the icons in the level up screen for Technique / Combat Mastery wrap around to two rows.

That's intentional. From the changelog on page 1,

Combat Training talents split into two lines

(Maybe it's for low resolution devices? I have no idea.)

[breadsmith]

It's for exotic Weapons Mastery, which sort of fell off the edge before.
