Winter Wolves - Seasons Of The Wolf - Third Act Beta!

jack1974 Oct 09, 2014

Poor ratmen! Yes 500 is what I put in act1 and might have been even OK, but in next act is too low. I raised it to 2500 for all

Also implemented the new Guard only one character limit and Dispel magic! Battles suddenly got more tougher. This AI is getting really nasty

Of course only some enemies use it, and only bosses have the "Mass Dispel", but when they use it... ouch!

So, why is the blue arrow to exit the Lugal territory missing (I'm on my day off) while red arrows are active, but that's not true for any other family? I can, of course, cheat and use the tunnel to Galanna and exit via their blue arrow without fighting their nasty troops.

Also, I've noticed pretty much the entire game that quest rewards seem to require one level higher than I actually am, which means I can never use them right away, and half the time I find something better in a shop by the time I've leveled.

Uhm, Althea Ranger can't equip the Ranger Twin Sword she got from the forge. Is there a hidden level requirement or something? (Same thing with the Hunter weapon, so I'm guessing there's a level requirement, but it isn't shown.)

I think I put level 15, which he should be by now (since you can autolevel them to level 14 at beginning of act) ?

I chose not to auto level (trying to break the game), it would be better if you put the level requirement so we can see it.

Nutty Nutt quest, returning after fighting the dwarves, half my party was gone and a crash occurred upon resting (I guess I killed the dwarves before the timer allowed all my party members into the fight).

EDIT: Actually this seems to happen if I walk in any direction but east. I get 4 party members for the fight, and the other 4 never show up.

The others should arrive after some turns. Well yes tomorrow need to check all those "timed battles", beside making harder is better if the enemies are replaced somehow, otherwise there are issues like this!

No, it was completely broken, even if I waited 10 turns nobody showed up. I can send a save.

Killing pirates at long range until only 4 was left, I still faced 6 in the next fight.

Killing all the pirates, so 0 was left, I closed in to no fight.

But the boss fight did follow, so that's ok...

...except there's now a Pirates Left box stuck in the display...

The new time system in Shacklesplit is good, by the way.

Franka Oct 09, 2014

I ended my "break things" playthrough with Althea participating in every fight I did and a grand level of 14. Highest level was Jariel, finishing at lv18, about halfway to 19. This is what you can expect if you play as a complete pacifist who refuses to be handed free levels just because you get to Act III. The party didn't bother to buy equipment at any point in the game, and only equipped drops and quest rewards sporadically, and not at all for most of Act III (I think I equipped Vaelis axes, and that was it, and I didn't even use Vaelis).

Interestingly, this gimp party broke every timed fight on Easy, so who cares about levels and gear anyway?

It's not a bug, is a feature of the lugal district because they're more nasty than the others.

Also, I've noticed pretty much the entire game that quest rewards seem to require one level higher than I actually am, which means I can never use them right away, and half the time I find something better in a shop by the time I've leveled.

Depends which quest rewards? usually I generate the item at -1 level or 0 (same level) as the main character.

I chose not to auto level (trying to break the game), it would be better if you put the level requirement so we can see it.

Actually for Legendary items I should just NOT put a level, or level 1, since are fixed (fixed stats). So there's no reason to have any level requirement. Will change it now.

No, it was completely broken, even if I waited 10 turns nobody showed up. I can send a save.

Thanks that will be useful!

As for pirates, yes even if you trim them down to zero the "flow" seems OK, since you still fight the boss captain. But of course the pirate mini-screen must go away :lol:

Ah so the bug is in all timed fights, not just in the dwarves? frak my fix is not working then...

jack1974 Oct 09, 2014

Are you sure you played it with the 0.8.30? I got your save, but I never managed to beat the dwarves before the others arrived! :shock:

Anyway just to be sure I'll put a line to get back all the party members after every ship travel, so the game won't break for sure

fabulaparva Oct 09, 2014

Are we supposed to be able to replay the romances from the achievements screen yet or not? There's some really weird things going on in there. And I got a crash:

When clicking to replay Althea x Jariel

It's ... just...umm. I dunno even ... Jariel naked in Ninim and then... SAREN (no pic, but in dialogue box)???

Anyway...traceback:

Gee, now I gotta try clicking the others....

EDIT: OK, the other romances will make the game "just" crash, so no weird pairings happening there.

jack1974 Oct 09, 2014

Yes you can replay but I didn't check that yet so there could be errors, will do it in next days, since I also need to review the achievements

No no, that bug was only for the dwarves, all other timed fights just gave blank fights, not breaking the game ones.

I tried it with the new version. As long as you don't go east (!), I get into a broken dwarf fight. Going east, I get all my characters as I'm supposed to, going north, west or south I get the broken fight. I'll try it agian with latest fix.

yayswords Oct 09, 2014

My inventory weapons tab says 1/1 despite there being more. If I unequip a weapon it "disappears"

Ahh OK! I always picked east lol, that's why I didn't notice it

Strange I didn't touch at all that part of the code!! :shock:

if you use the arrows you can't change the current weapon page ?

jack1974 Oct 09, 2014

Here tabs works fine, just tried with a cheat:

Franka Oct 09, 2014

Tried it again. You get to fight the whole fight with only 4 characters, but now you get your party back afterwards.

Oh, and you buffed those dwarves with way too many paralyze skills! Yikes!

Franka Oct 09, 2014

I don't know if there's a simple fix for this, but you still get to fight 6 pirates, even if there are fewer left.

jack1974 Oct 09, 2014

Hmm well for now I'll put this on the low priority list :lol:

since when there's the boss fight there are 6, and after you win that one the story says that the remaining ones are surrendering... so maybe those 4 are only the ones on the bridge or something :mrgreen:

Yaysword got your save: the problem was simple, the "page length" of the inventory was wrong. So would count another page only if you reached XYZ weapons, but you could drop weapons and they looked like if they disappeared (in reality they were already in the next page but it was hidden). Same thing would happen for armors/items/etc.

At least an easy fix

Taleweaver Oct 09, 2014

When doing the sea battle directly after Vaelis' personal quest, the BG artwork shows the Ninim woods, not the seas.

jack1974 Oct 09, 2014

Ah probably forgot to set a background for the sea battle and they take the last used!

wildcard Oct 09, 2014

Soooo...

I loaded up an old save and did the battle where you fight against the pirates (Keep your distance and stuff) and then the Kraken again in chapter 17.

Now the 'xy pirates left' and 'Ship condition' screen is stuck over my surface XD It disappears in battle, but when at the map or during talks, it's ... there :3 over their faces XD
