[1.4.3] Monsters don't show up when meditating (minor)

#1 Post by grouchy »

Earth's Eyes grants you a passive ability of detecting monsters in a given radius during meditation.

The monsters aren't detected when you activate meditation, though, but only when you move.

Steps to reproduce.

1. Know a place where a monster is. It can't see you so that it doesn't approach you. Vaults will do fine.
2. Deactivate meditation.
3. Move to the aforementioned location.
4. Activate meditation.

Monster won't show up -- it shows up once you move, though.

"Vaults will do fine."
uhm... no? i mean, all walls in the vault are warded, so you cant see through them, unless the specific wall piece is meant to me dug.
the only thing that can let you see through vault walls, as far as i know, is the arcane eye.

Ups. Didn't know that.

Zigur then. There is a guy who gives you a reward once you get rid of the lightning guy. He stands in a room so you would need to approach him from the outside.

uh... i... think all of zigur is a vault...

uhm... pretty sure the whole area is a no teleport zone, and i dont think you can dig the walls there either.

i think a better example would be dearth, with its very thin lines and non aggressive inhabitants, or even the lumberjack village.

Alright. Any location which allows to infra through walls (or whatever power Earth's Eyes make use of) and in which there is a monster behind the wall will do.

The view is geney not updated unless the player moves or the talent specifically tells the view to update. This is for performance reasons.

Actually, that's what I thought.

In case of Meditation/Earth's Eyes, however, it would make more sense if the effect would trigger once the ability is activated; there are situations where you CAN'T move but you want to see the monsters.
