[1.2.5] Cryomancer still bugged, kills don't count

#1 Post by malboro_urchin »

When my cold alchemist bombs kill enemies, that damage doesn't count towards the Cryomancer achievement

There has been a glitch where one-shot damage is not recorded. Were you one-shotting foes with your bomb, or was this just the finishing blow?

Also, if you want Cryomancer, try using Elemental Fury on any high sustained damage build.
I'm not crying. I'm offering a sacrifice to DarkGod in hopes he'll show favor to me.

It hasn't worked yet.

mostly one-shotting. My experience with Mages in general has been the instant one-shot dissolution of trash mobs upon eye contact. Are you saying that killing blows will count as long as the mob in question isn't one-shot?

As for Elemental Fury, though I have found the ring in the past, I don't currently have one stashed away

What's an example of a good sustained cold damage build? Both Alchemists and Necromancers appear to have very bursty cold damage

I'm not sure. It's either the blow that kills them doesn't count, or a blow that takes them from full to dead doesn't count.

For sustained cold... Really nothing that I know of. Perhaps a thermal Mindslayer, but I've not played much psionic classes. Elemental Fury is, in my opinion, the best way to go on this, since it just makes absolutely any build work towards the achivements. Run around a few trash characters till you get it, then never ever let it go until you get Uttercold.

Aha! I knew I had one somewhere!

I've always wanted to try a Skirmisher, and one of my chars has been holding onto the Frozen Shards ammo for quite a while now

Edit: could this bug be fixed in theory by having the achievement progress tracker parse through the combat log, and any time the log says the player dealt x cold damage, add that number to the running total?

It's been fixed in 1.3 for a month or so now.

Currently working on Elementals. It's a big project, so any help would be appreciated. :)

That's good to know, thanks! Do we have an ETA for 1.3?

I keep hearing all these wonderful things about 1.3, cruelly dangled in front of us like some kind of sadistic carrot.

*Looks at how sadistic ToME itself is.*

Right, it makes sense now. :P

Tears will make 1.3 come faster.
My feedback meter decays into coding. Give me feedback and I make mods.
