Beholder race/classes

[Sradac]

no not OP, extremely useful. I can swap gems out as I please. Sure the ring itself isnt that great, but I can not only change it for higher tiers, I can also swap gems based on the situation which is nothing to sneeze at.

It makes up for the fact that I finally find the wrap of stone and I CANT USE IT

[ajfluffy]

Haha sorry about your item woes
I think adding belt and cloak and removing two rings can be arranged.

[Sradac]

another observation, I think spiked tentacles is either not behaving right, or the description is wrong. It says it does 4.95 dmg per turn, but its doing 29 per turn to bill and really messing him up

[Zonk]

Nice improvements, especially the ring!

Some feedback(more to come later perhaps):

1. Why make Tentacle Mastery unlearnable? I didn't notice it was at first and that was somewhat annoying.
2. Ring is very nice but has a minor bug - the first time I used it, it duplicated itself in the hotkey bar. Might be because of the name change?
3. Have you considered having the player start with phase door rather than wild? Might make them more magical(and that's what Shalore get). Also works well if you get the fire eye talent that can hurt yourself and are surrounded.
4. Spiked Tentacles typo: posion->poison
5. Are you 100% sure the 'ignore sleeping targets' code on Tentacle Mastery is working as intended? It didn't seem to against Bill...
6. Noticed you changed Extraplanar Origin to require > 50 damage for phasing. That's a fixed amount so at later levels it would still trigger like, all of the time..why not use something like 20% of max life instead?

[ajfluffy]

1. Ok, I had different plans for the talent initially

2. Yeah, that's a settings issue probably. I update the hotkeys to fix them but if your settings have you create hotkeys for new items you may get 2

3. If I did then blindness from rogues would be rough I though, but def doable.

4. Oye

5. Your right, was only checking dazed.

[Sradac]

How bout the poison damage of spiked tentacles I pointed out? Does that get an Oye also?

LUA Error when trying to replace the gem in my ring with a higher tier gem. It works fine when swapping for gems of the same tier, but better ones it breaks with:

Code: Select all

[ajfluffy]

you sure your using latest version? I thought I had already addressed this :/
mind you since objects are stored fully simply downloading latest and using old save wont fix it

[ajfluffy]

uploaded a new version. Will do some more work with the melee type tomorrow I hope.

[Sradac]

ah, yeah I did update from a previous version and use a previous beholder of mine, Icyu

bonus points if you know what his name means.

I'll roll a new guy I guess. Was kicking serious ass though, cheesed the minotaur and the weirdling beast

[ajfluffy]

Sorry, hard to make things compatible across versions. Poison fixed too

[loimprevisto]

I've been having fun subjecting beholders to horrible deaths in the ID, but I noticed that I don't get the quest or the item eating talent while playing through the ID... any idea why?

EDIT: Also, I had just downloaded the latest version and I'm getting LUA errors when I try to resocket the ring.

[ajfluffy]

Hmm, I think I may know what's up with the lua errors. Will try changing ring and see if that fixes it.

Not sure about ID but ill look into it.

[Sradac]

do you maybe have i500 loaded up? Wouldn't be surprised if they conflict since this and arcanum conflict as well

[ajfluffy]

The conflict with arcanum should have been resolved. I FINALLY understand the ring bug.

Generally I load up a new game each time I test something but never reload it from a new game. This only was occuring when I exited the game and then reloaded an old save. Will upload a new save after the morning meetings!

I am also researching the ID issue still :/
