SOTW 0.79 - First Act Beta preview!

[renke_]

"reduced difficulty of the Giant Snow Spider boss battle. After all is the first act, so even at nightmare mode should be a bit easier (before was impossible!!)"

I want a special achievement, Solver of the Insolvable (pre-0.74) has a nice ring to it ;)

Hey hey, don't swell too much. I defeated it with one party as well. I think it's stat derivation giving me some colonoscopic malpractice here.

I can upload the save and you can try to defeat it with that party in 0.73

Everybody has won, and all must have prizes. :D

Haha would be fun to give out achievements to beta testers
In other news I fixed almost everything, except the purify that needs to remove all the debuffs, that will take a bit more time. After I upload 0.75 I think I'm probably going to take a break for a while though

[Miakoda]

*mopes* Stupid work...decides to get busy so I can't be having fun with everyone else. Still, you all look to have done a great job hammering the system out

[jack1974]

Haha don't be sorry, you'll play a much less bug infested build!

The SP regen trait is broken: I started the game with it, and it did work - but only a time. Not sure when I happened, but somewhere between the arena fight (were I checked the SP trait) and now (begin of the free-roaming phase) my char lost the background bonus :)

[jack1974]

Ah OK, will look at it

Here are a few things I got so far:

Avoidance skill description "the mercenary focuses on taking as less damage as possible"
should be "as little damage"

Althea: "We went back to Ninim for the reward, and the Hunters Guild master was enthusiast to hear the good news."
should be "enthused to hear"

East of Ninim battling the group of snow spiders. The description of this battle on the map is cut off by the screen border, both in full screen and windowed.

The training fight against the ratmen can be done endlessly, as long as you don't leave. You can keep picking the option to begin the fight, thus getting endless xp.

Every time you meet the Ratmen at night counts as discovering a new location.

The Ratmen shop is empty for me (don't know if it's a bug or intended to be possible).

Chapter two is called chapter three, both in the chapter announcement and in the save descriptions.
Is Pounce supposed to be able to hit the back row? At least one grey wolf did it to Vaelis. And then nearly decimated my hunting party. Scary cheating heap of fleas.
