SOTW 0.8.9 - First Act Beta preview!

[renke_]

File under atmospheric nit-picking: As Vaelis' signature weapons are axes (c.f. skills, image) - why is he equipped with a boring sword?

Oh, I believe it would be fun if the ratmen sell mostly stuff only usable for characters of level 7+, after all, they found strange and weird stuff somewhere.

[jack1974]

Haha I changed it so that his default weapon is an axe in the next update
Hopefully this 0.8.4 fixes the difficulty once for all. As long as the main plot is doable and the boss battles are tough enough I think I'm good for this first Act. I think bosses might be still a bit too weak, in particular the Kodiak but not much can be done when you fight a single enemy boss with a party

I tried to unzip the new 0.84, but my Win7 tells me the folder is invalid (it's also around 30MB smaller than the previous folders.)

[Anima_]

Yeah, looks like a corrupted upload.

[jack1974]

I uploaded it correctly on my server, so seems a problem of the CDN, I "purged" the file, can you try again?

[Anima_]

Worked for me.

[jack1974]

OK thanks I can go to sleep now

[fabulaparva]

Works here as well, sweet dreams!

[renke_]

It seems the damage for ranged attack and aimed shot are now identical. Probably a build were I will never use the second one :)

[Alex81]

Have you noticed, that sometimes you activate special abilities just by hovering over them?
Happens quite often when I hover the mouse-cursor over Vaenis' special abilities

SMACK! Enemy struck, even without me doing the click for confirm attack (;) perhaps a bit like Fidel Dahan in Jagged Alliance 2 ? Would randomly shoot full autofire (while laughing)
(same character would also tell you, the player "Go away! Fidel busy!)

Point is, these elves are eager to fight!
