SOTW 0.8.24.18 - Second Act Beta!

[yayswords]

so people will stop playing "the lottery" !

It's still a lottery, but patience is no longer a currency. It's still a roll of the dice what you actually get from the shop, only you only get one shot now. Think that was one reason I didn't wanna buy the game actually. So ironically I've pretty much paid just for beta now

I'll stop playing the lottery when the best equipment isn't a lottery reward.

peregrin: It's as it should be. You'll see.

Nevermind! I had put a wrong name in the code. I tried again and all seems fine even after the battle, so seems to be working now! Victory!

Spoiler:

Chalassa's bleeding effect doesn't work on Boss anymore, since was too powerful otherwise!

but but but I said I need that for her flashback could also just not flag the guy as boss though

Can be done without bleeding - I had acrobatics, no chances and poison dagger in her personal quest. Unless the acrobatics was nerfed already as well, lol.

EDIT: Stats: Constitution 12, Will 19,Strength 12, Skill 14, Agility 20, Arcane 8.

Well considering all the hours you played, I think even just "buying the beta" was worth your money
I understand what you mean but there's no solution. What should I do? fixed inventories in shops? that would be lame and would make a bit pointless the randomized item generation I coded. The item quest rewards are rather powerful now I think. And now Dingirra's shop have powerful items as well. Of course if you're always looking for "the best item" OK, but you get very decent items now in those shops even without reloading.

No acrobatics wasn't nerfed When I played it I used poison dagger and potions, but I wasn't playing in NM mode though! I think the Agility stat is very important, since influences speed and in those kinds of combats with only 1 character is very important.

What you should do is a topic for Loren 2. But why do you feel the need to remove the ability to replay the casino?

Item quest rewards are indeed powerful but they're not filling even 10% of my slots.

Chalassa's flashback was a close call for me but I didn't remember to reposition her so maybe that'll do it... also, I think the bracers should be renamed when she gets them, since after all they don't grant SUPER speed (10 is high but not godlike) and they don't drain her health. I hope. So maybe Latent/Exorcised/Purified/Dormant Bracers of Bloodspeed or something?

Yeah well I'll see - maybe I can leave it, since people could just save/reload anyway if they want ! and considering how many requests I got for a cheat-mode in Loren...

The Bracers of Bloodspeed are actually much more powerful. Chalassa's just not desperate enough to activate their "powerup function", which is what her opponent did. So she's "only" getting a +10 Speed from them.

[yayswords]

And who gave the little bitch the idea that the decision is hers?

Perhaps that should be mentioned? 'cause after all they can be sold so it could be risky to plan for her to mention it further down the road.

[Taleweaver]

No. Chalassa wouldn't consider it worthy mentioning.

[jack1974]

Well +10 speed is probably the highest bonus speed of an item in a long time (a bracer for sure). I just generated some random level 30 Rare bracer and their speed bonus was around 4-6 max!
Besides it's also very important for the Paralysis and the other resistances. The way I changed it from the "first version" makes it really good now IMHO!
