SOTW 0.8.24.18 - Second Act Beta!

[fabulaparva]

Just one question for now: What level is Vaelis expected to be on when he receives those axes?

[jack1974]

I don't know
Because this part is quite "free play" meaning that there are 3 main places you can get quests but you can do them in different order. And I plan to allow some grinding too.
Anyway: since those items should still be good even in next act they should match level 20-21 items for sure, at least.

[jack1974]

Facing another dilemma right now: the twins epic weapons
What was planned is: if twin is a Hunter, will give a Bow, if is a Ranger two swords, if is Druid a quarterstaff.
Though I'm thinking to just offer a choice of two items for each Class, since for example you could be playing a twohanded weapon Ranger. So will do something like:
Ranger: two swords/two handed weapon
Hunter: bow/short sword
Druid: quarterstaff / dagger

[fabulaparva]

Druid & dagger? Mah druid can't equip a dagger right now.
Not trying to add to the problems here but what about shield-wielding rangers?

[yayswords]

The hunter should get two swords. I'm not sure about the druid dagger. How would it differ from the staff?

Or Vaelis.

[jack1974]

Ah yes, a shield too. That's not a problem, just adding an extra shield item.
As for Druid-dagger yes, you can't equip them but if I make custom item usable only by the twins can be anything. In theory even a 2h sword that could be used by a Druid (not going to do that though!!)

[fabulaparva]

By the way, what happened to Morran's pants? I thought those were supposed to be the ultimate twin-item.

(Gotta drop them before the final romance scene... unless you'll make those undroppable.)

[yayswords]

I think traditionally a druid would use a staff or nothing. Instead of a dagger you could have a swirly-whirly item called Spirit of Ninim or something.

[jack1974]

Yes maybe some focus item, could work better indeed!
p.s. Morran's pants were eliminated from the game by the censorship!

[fabulaparva]

Thumbs up for the focus item for druid. I also support two swords for the Hunter as those would give extra power to the critical hit and dual-attack skills.

Oh, that's just droll. Usually censorship adds pants instead of taking them away. What kind of censorship is this?
