Third Act Beta! - SOTW 0.8.38

[jack1974]

Yes, orange :D
I have fixed all the bugs reported but I'm waiting to do an update since the fixes aren't really that important. Current fixes list (not live yet) is:
- fixed a missing background in the buy now nagscreen :D
- fixed some typos/grammar/wording
- added "activate" button on the registration screen
- fixed dual wield bug for manticore poison (was only doing double damage on hit, but not DoT, so not a big problem)

so unless more serious bugs come out will do another update tomorrow. Anyway, I think next week can already start to add fixed items and maybe make battles harder if needed, since I still think probably the 3rd act is sligthly too easy compared to the others.

[Troyen]

Yes that's why I added that requirement, it was easy to miss it completely. Is in the neutral area on the right part of the screen, green arrow. It's where people are betting on the insects fights

Yeah, I almost missed that place entirely, finding it by accident. Maybe there's a way to make it more visible? The orange arrows stood out on the snow world, but Dingerra is a generally orangish tileset.

[jack1974]

Yes I know, but the problem is that I use the colors for a specific reason:
red- battle/danger
orange - be careful
green - safe to click

I think now that there's the message to go back exploring, should be impossible to miss it. There are some RPGs that make you explore very big maps, in this case you just have to click 2-3 times

My attempts at breaking Act III:

Ratmen show up in Act III even though I never met them before. The conversation clearly refers to meeting them back in Ninim, Act I, so no good.

Resting for the 25 days available in Act III before doing anything else, or just running out of time along the way, breaks the game (I told you I'd play the "not as intended"). You're no longer allowed to rest, and you can't do any romances. You can take one quest, but you can't progress after that, because the game requires you to rest before taking a new quest. I think it would be best to break the time limit up into smaller parts and force you to take the quests you absolutely must complete in Act III, like you do in the first 2 acts. Others may have better solutions. I don't actually know what quests are mandatory in the third act.

Hmm...
I'm in Summer, Chapter 17.
I've just returned with my crew from the riddle of a certain pirate. Rowina's House has a heart and I'd like to take it, but whenever I do, I trigger a code frame instead.
'An exception has occured'. Followed by lots of code.
Tried to screenshoot it, but always got the desktop instead ^^°

Also I just realized half my party is missing from their usual spots.
Going into the next possible story mission with the blacksmith thus leaves my rows... slightly empty.
Ironically Krim & Vaelis are in my story but I can't select them for the party. The others are not able to go in the party for other reasons :3

Ah yes that happened in act2 as well! I need to add a check

Yes clearly that can't work, even if you are playing in a weird way it still shouldn't happen. I think the easiest solution is the one you proposed though will look if I can find something else.

You can click the button "open traceback" and will open a text file that you can easily paste here

Aaaah! That's how it works. Ok. Here you go:
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Also, after the missions I've got all my party members but Krim back.
But still get that very same log.

[jack1974]

Uhm what did you do before that? seems that the party is messed up

[Franka]

Just noticed that I still have the "Ant Queen" quest in my log in Act III (I didn't complete it in Act II). Shouldn't the quest fail at some point?

[jack1974]

Yes, probably I should make it automatically fail if you move back to the arena (since you can't do it anymore). I'll do a check and make it fail at start of act3 just to be sure.
Also found some other cases like this for pride of lukoss while testing again (you'd get "quest complete" even if you didn't open the hatch).
