"Odyssey of The Summoner" is OUT!! Find it here...

[Kamani]

Ooh.

Edit: I FINALLY won as fire drake!
Two deaths, both to the same two rares in Daikara. Using the non-rare basic lightning spell... But, one thing that is kind of unbalanced. Multihued Drake Scales is just broken. Once I got it, I stayed at max life basically constantly. The final boss did kill all my drakes, and it took like an hour, but I was never threatened at all. I was never hit to my Wild Resolve life. Of my five cat points, only two got used for new categories. The other three were better for investments. Good to finally get that win in non-exploration mode after like 3 major updates too. Well, better start trying the other things like other styles of playing. Fire Drake, of course.

Edit: Oh, if you take Multihued Drake Scales, shadow Crypt will be impossible. The clone will resist all you attacks and outheal your damage. And you can't rod of recall out.

Quick update

- FINALLY solved the Multihued Drake Scales problem. It was the same problem I was having with Disciplines a long time ago... I should have known!
- Minotaur perhaps coming out tomorrow. HOPEFULLY coming out tomorrow.

[Kamani]

Great!
Also, since I think my post got missed and it listed some issues, I am adding it to this

@Kamani
I saw it-- Multihued Drake Scales is getting a slight nerf.
Also, if you want your character in the hall of fame, you have to link it!

... By the way-- Both my tester and myself have been debating over whether Fire Drake needs a higher experience penalty. 10% might be too lenient-- But I wouldn't want to alienate anyone who is truly having trouble with the class...

[Kamani]

Okay. Shadow Crypt is especially a problem with (and probably without) it.

... Unfortunately, I went to check my online character vault thing, and apparently it stopped updating correctly before I won. I even put something into the items vault, which updated. So I guess this one won't count. Ugh. Well, I'll just have to do it again (+2 agains, so far). Weirdly enough, I can still talk in chat and vault stuff, so I don't know what has my character vault messed up. Even messes up if I look at it directly from chat. Last thing it remembers is me going into a Hidden Vault before one of my drakelings died at the final boss. Weird.

Played a little bit with War Hound class, quite fun... anyway after trying to plan out for what prodigy to take I ended up noticing something. Not sure if it got pointed out already, but does eye of tiger work for War Hound? all his talent (Wild-Heart) seem to be Physical Crit reliant, yet that prodigy say it trigger only for Mind crit on wild heart talent...

"Odyssey of The Summoner" has been updated! (Version 0.5.8 and 0.5.9)
*** Version: 0.5.8 and 0.5.9 ~ "Now with less broken reflections quest!"
*** Sorry about this one taking so long! My tester DEMANDED that I allow them to finish the game before we release it, so I can assure you it's (probably) bug-free!

*** {0.5.8}
[FEATURES]
- "Minotaur"! It's finally here after a long wait! This class is adept at everything the words "Brute Force" means!
- "Improved" the Hydra's reflections reward. It should be a little more viable now!
- Added SEVERAL new hidden effects for various Artifacts. As a hint: Most respond to possessing certain talents or knowing certain talent trees, so try experimenting a bit with everything! For example: Wear "Imp Claw" with the "Wild-Heart/Strewn" talent tree unlocked!
*** No peeking Kamani!
- Added SEVERAL new "headhunts"!

[CHANGES]
- "Dragon Scales" will no longer provide increased resistance cap or affinity at talent level 5 if it is NOT your primary/secondary heritage (this is mainly targetted at NERFING "Multihued Drake Scales")
- Changed the conditions for one of Enghryza's (important) dialogue options. (hint: don't eat the book right away!)
- Modified the reflections quest text to clarify your status in terms of conditions. (Unfortunately, this fix is NOT retroactive, and it cannot be made so.)

[FIXES]
- Fixed a bug with learning "Endless Desire" when you do not have a reflections quest.
- Fixed a bug with the "distraction" effect of "Bound Off".
- Fixed a bug with the "hostility" effect of "Cry Havoc".
- Fixed a bug with "Sound Sight"... I think.
- Fixed a bug with the deception caused by "Belie".
- Fixed a bug with "howls" and how they interact with newly-spawned things.
- Fixed a bug with NOT receiving increased ferocity when using "so-and-so".
- Fixed a bug with "Wereform" not negating a portion of reduced healing.
- Fixed a bug with "Great Caller" granting too many talent points.
- You are no longer life burned if you are not an avatar.
- Fixed a bug that prevented you from receiving the bonus Blight/Nature resistance from Blighted/Superior Form.
- Fixed a bug with arcane objects in your stomach when you become antimagic.
- Fixed a TERRIBLE bug that caused blighted avatars with damage reflection to be killed INSTANTLY by Antimagic Shield! YIKES!!
- Perhaps fixed a bug with Temporal Explorers and reflections quests.
- Fixed some bugginess with "Shieldbreaker"... Whoops.
- Fixed Multihued Drake Scales... No, really. I finally discovered what causes it and fixed it. It's absolutely gone for good, no doubts about it.
- Fixed an exploit with learning another secondary heritage WHILST learning Multihued Drake Scales.
- Fixed the bug with The Summoner mentioning Dreadfell AFTER beating it...
- (Hopefully) fixed a duplication bug with Inner Demons and such. Thank you for NOT abusing this! (:D)

*** {0.5.9}
[FIXES]
- Fixed some unreplaced dialogue in the Minotaur reflections
- Whoops. I broke the reflections quests!

Enjoy everyone! Thankfully, I'm CERTAIN that Multihued Drake Scales bug is gone...
... And, by the way, Minotaur has everything-- Including the reflections quest and the uber. Next on the agenda... Perhaps Stone Golem-- But I am becoming increasingly concerned about War Hound and its neglect...

[Kamani]

Yay! More effects to find (I haven't really found any of those by peaking, mostly just ubers and hints. But, alright).

Also, anyone know what to do if a character vault won't update for a character?

[PseudoLoneWolf]

Code: Select all

Lua Error: /data/quests/reflect-minotaur.lua:99: attempt to index global 'reflect' (a nil value)
	At [C]:-1 __index
	At /data/quests/reflect-minotaur.lua:99 desc
	At /engine/dialogs/ShowQuests.lua:89 generateList
	At /engine/dialogs/ShowQuests.lua:36 init
	At /engine/class.lua:147 new
	At /mod/class/Game.lua:2086 
	At /engine/KeyBind.lua:236 

Welp, looks like Reflections is broken on minotaur, I can't even open my quest log.

Also, Rex's custom art doesn't work either, it just appears as a tall purple rectangle. Not sure if there IS art there yet or not, so that's less important, just thought I'd let you know.

[nekarcos]

@PseudoLoneWolf
I see the problem. Strange... For some reason, that error never happened for me...
Also-- No. Rexorcorum has not made any custom artwork for these classes yet. Afterall, the original 3 were generous donations, so it is mostly up to them if they want to make more or not.


EDIT: Fixed. Get going!

[rexorcorum]

Hehe, some day, definitely, but exactly when...

[Kamani]

It seems to be impossible to fix this online char sheet not updating. So glitches got another win, apparently. And this one had nothing to do with Odyssey. Some day, maybe. For now, I am off to try Minotaur. Then probably another round of Fire Drake.

[tabs]

At lvl 10 with Minotaur, here's my thoughts in no particular order:

• I really really wish I could disable natural attacks and just use the weapon. As it is I have about a 75% chance of wasting a bump with bodyslam/tail/clencher. Yes, I know this'll change with some dex investment.
• Fissure is extremely good. Both for damage and for blocking enemy movement.
• The class trees you start with are not inspiring. Mystical Beast seems to be more of a special/gimmick build option and not a core tree. Severance/Metal Rending are on Ritch and not very flavorful.
• Six locked generic trees?? I understand about giving people options, but really...
• I think Unravel Metal is a cool idea and mechanic.
• Brute Force seems a no-brainer to take. Every skill in that tree is incredible.

[Kamani]

At this point I am annoyed. Is there any way I can turn in this character win without a link to the online character sheet (which got stuck like halfway up High Peak)? It is just getting on my nerves.

Also had this bit of fun happen on my ritch: https://imgur.com/a/7NqIX
