SOTW 0.8.24.18 - Second Act Beta!

[fabulaparva]

What's New in 0.8.17 (sort of quick "maintenance release")
- fixed the crash bug I've introduced in the liberty challenge when I tried to hack even further the RPG framework. there are some limits you must not cross!
- added a 20% party heal before each merc battle in Dingirra for the Easy/Normal difficulty to make it even easier. I won't reduce the difficulty further than that though!
- fixed bug in Steam tunnels: now ranged attacks do normal damage. Only MELEE Two Handed attacks are reduced!

Does it have anything to do with this?

[jack1974]

Yes that's what was referring to, in Easy/Normal mode I added some extra heals in certain moment of the plot

[FireSeraph]

Are you sure? It's after the random fights in the streets, not just boss fights or wave fights and the difficulty was set to Nightmare.

Edit: Yeah you're right. Was switched it to remain as Nightmare all the way even in the fight so it's correct now.

[jack1974]

Hmm OK send the save so I can check, in Nightmare shouldn't happen indeed!
edit: if you level up with some characters after a battle, you get the heal though, that is correct.

[jack1974]

Just saw your edit now, all good then

[jack1974]

This last part of the 3rd act is taking longer because there are several custom things, like the naval warfare minigame and also some interesting new conditions, like this:

poor Thieves class!
(yes, the Kraken is a constant pain of this act! lol)

[fabulaparva]

*stores up even more bombs and manticore poison* <insertInnocentAngelSmileyHere>

Edit: Wait.... Kraken is not a boss?

[yayswords]

I assume ranged damage only means bow attacks? And perhaps Magic Bolt? Not spells?

Anyway, it did bring a smile to my face. This is what battlefield conditions should be about. Not just pick a resistance to be reduced for every single battle in the game. If something fitting can't be thought of, there needn't be a condition.

P.S. fabulaparva's poison should be diluted in the water

P.P.S. My party dances all the time while being constantly sober, fabulaparva's party doesn't dance at all while being constantly drunk

[jack1974]

Yes only bows!
If you use the poison bombs the surrounding water becomes all poisonous and you die (joking, not going to code this !! lol)

Kraken is a boss, but wasn't sure to show "BOSS" text on all the tentacles (since reduces the effectiveness of many skills).
