Dumb questions thread

[MisterCrowley]

Dumb forums question since I can't figure a way to directly PM mods. I posted a topic in the T-Engine bugs forum with my first post, checked and saw it in the topic list. All good. Then I edited in a line and got the message that it would need to be approved. A few minutes later I got emailed the confirmation that a mod had approved it, but when I clicked the link to my topic I get the message that it does not exist. It doesn't show in the list of topics, and similarly links to it in my profile won't work. What gives?! Which one of you ate my topic?!? Or am I being extra-dumb and it was moved somewhere?

Hmm, odd, I can't find it on the forums, but looking through the moderator log it's here:

Very sorry for whatever happened to it. Feel free to post it again.

Is there any way to control the location of the popup tooltips with enemy info? If you use the mouse it seems to try to go to the opposite side of the screen, which is nice, but if you are using primarily the keyboard it doesn't seem to have that feature. This makes it kind of frustrating trying to target abilities in big fights in, say, the bottom right area of the map.

What's the slot under the armor for? I have never used it. At first I thought it was for wands, but no.

[Avianpilot]

It's not a slot that many classes have much use for (at least, not the ones that I play). It's the quiver, used to hold shots and arrows.

Thanks for clearing that up! I forgot to ask, what would be the easiest class to finish the game/get far in the story? I tried the mindless human bulwark, and got to level 24 right before some summoned giant demon killed me. Am I in the 'right path'?

[Avianpilot]

I'm a terrible person to ask for that, but so far I've had a lot of success with a Paradox Mage. Edge admits that they're overpowered right now, which is probably why I've been having an easier time than with the other classes. Berserkers and Archmages are also supposed to be good choices as well, but I don't have enough personal experience with either class to say for certain.

I like the class-formerly-known-as-fighter (the bulwark; maybe someday I'll adjust to the renaming) myself, and I think that they're generally a good choice overall, so if that's your style then I think you're on the right track.

Hi. so i downloaded newest version and i want to ask how to install it?
Because i unzipped it in "C:/Program Files" but when i use the launcher it will launch a tab with the loading screen..its on 0% and doesnt move even if i wait like 1 minute.
When i want to minimize it it will close...

So how do 'of mastery' items work, I thought I knew but I got one that is super relevant to my character but it not only doesn't do what I thought, but seems to do nothing at all.
I have a "copper amulet of mastery (0.11 Spell / Arcane shield)" that has "When worn: Talent mastery: +0.11 Spell / Arcane shield". I am an archmage and I rely on the aegis category, and while arcane shield isn't the most helpful, it is still good (and this is early game atm) but when I try it on my effective level on Arcane shield stays at 1.3/2.6/3.9 (as I move points in testing) and the % is the same as well.
So what does this item do? does another class have a category called 'Spell / Arcane' that with it has a talent called 'shield' as that would make sense, but be confusing.

[Final Master]

The name after the / is the name of the talent tree, archmages do not have a tree called Arcane Shield - so they don't get any benefit from it.

Posting here since I'm not sure if this is a bug or if I am missig something. Anyways, how do I get back into the Iron throne? I've been told the entrace is north east of last Hope, but I can't find it. For reference here is a screenshot of my WM:


What puzzles me is that someone else posted a screenshot of the same location with the entrace 3 tiles away from where my character is, but as you can see, theres nothing there in my game.

My cursed dwarf has pretty much all resistances on negative numbers, despite having various items with resistance bonus. He currently is afflicted by 3 curses but none of them say anything about this. Could it be an effect of bad luck? what am I missing?

There is a bug in the last version. The people in http://forums.te4.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=30954 discovered that it disappears if you unlearn the dwarf skill "Resilence".

Cursed suffer resistance penalties at low hate levels. The Cursed Body (I think) talent controls this; investing in it more results in a lower penalty at low levels and a greater bonus at high levels.

Venomous Strike description mentions its damage is some "% of damage", variable based on number of poisons on target.
The question is - % of WHAT damage it is.
In other words - what the basic damage of VS depends on - the weapon damage of char, total of his all weapon damages, DOT of all poisons on target, or some entirely different value?
