1.0.2 and 1.0.3?

[Waladil]

So I just noticed 1.0.2 and 1.0.3 available for download, but no announcements/patchnotes/etc... downloading anyway.

If I can find a .txt changelog of some sort I'll post it here assuming DG doesn't have one up by then. He's probably writing it as I'm writing this though.

[Amphouse]

Huh, weird. Guess he's busy. Downloading anyways!

[emblempride]

Any confirmation on either version's work-ability?

[Waladil]

They work all right. Not sure what the changes are, except that oozemancers got a few choice nerfs. Much needed ones, of course.

Reabsorb seems to only give you 40% res all, and indiscernible anatomy gives you immunity to less things now.

Psiblades SEEM to still be broken but that is very very hypothetical, my short test runs weren't able to get definitive results.

[Elroniel]

Acid splash was nerfed as well, the radius was reduced and possibly the damage.

Call the Ooze was nerfed too, it only summons a max of 3 Oozes now.

Sorry, been making the video trailer for it and had to leave for a few hours
It's uploading now and the changelog too

I updated and then tried to load my 1.0.1 character and immediately got an error. (Sorry I didn't submit it, I was busy). Is this a common problem and I should finish my 1.0.1 character's run before patching?

[evouga]

Looks like some great changes. Thanks!

[AlexanderR]

What's with 1.0.2? Is it 1.0.3 without some of changes? Was it uploaded by mistake?

[darkgod]

Savefiles may or may not work

1.0.2 had a critical bug so 1.0.3 came very very fast

[Elroniel]

I had a similar issue .... I had finally got a character to High Peak when the patch came through, and then as soon as I loaded and clicked one ability, the game through a wall of errors at me and I watch turns fly by as my character just stood there getting pummeled, lol.

I guess he deserved it, since it was an OP Oozemancer, but it was a brutal way to go. Burnt through 3 lives to the room with the two mages, and then it errored like that again sealed the deal. I think I'm going to chalk that one up to karma.

[Waladil]

Yeah, a good rule of thumb is to finish up your runs in whatever version you started them in, rather than trying to port over. They MIGHT work, but they also might 'splode horribly. What probably happened to you, Elroniel, is that you used an ability that was changed in the update, and your game was confused as to which power to use. Something like that.

If you're low-level just chuck out the character and start over in the new version, if you're high level then just go for the win in the old... it only gets hard to decide if you're around level 25-35, and just getting to the East or so... Still a lot of game to go but also a lot already past.
