Cursed Lands version 0.8.9

[Franka]

Dasyra's personal quest sets my Hammerhands reputation at 75, which coupled with Merchant is enough to once again profit from buy/sell.

Ah yes, I forgot to update those values based on last findings about the "money-cheat". Thanks!

> As for take aim no, it's a debuff, the other attacks will do more damage.

that's not what I meant: It is possible that an already dead char can get the effect. mostly it looks weird, it is not something that breaks any of the mechanics.

[jack1974]

Ah OK. Yes I'll take a look to see if can be easily fixed then

> Ok what you propose? Since you're the master of debilitate skill

mostly it irritates me that improving the skill makes it worse in one aspect - that's a completely new feature no other skill (afaik) has.

a few ideas (all untested, too lazy to mod your game : ))

- keep the SP cost and SP damage, but use for all skill levels one static value for HP damage and delay (maybe 100% and 15? identical to a melee attack)
- keep the SP cost and SP damage, but make it a fast attack and lower the damage (maybe 12 delay like many other special melee attacks and a damage of 33%, 66%, 100% for the 3 skill levels)

more crazy variants
- make it slow and powerful (I used chains, the other SP burning skill, as model):
lvl 1 - SP cost 3, SP damage 4, delay 30, HP damage 100%
lvl 2 - SP cost 3, SP damage 6, delay 30, HP damage 125%
lvl 3 - SP cost 3, SP damage 8, delay 30, HP damage 150%
- make it fast. I mean FAST
lvl 1 - SP cost 1, SP damage 1, delay 10, HP damage 50%
lvl 3 - SP cost 1, SP damage 1, delay 8, HP damage 50%
lvl 3 - SP cost 1, SP damage 1, delay 6, HP damage 50%

the first two ideas are in line with other skills (solid but nothing to write home about), the latter two make it rather unique. personally I think the 4th one could be fun - only pinpricks, but thousands of them : )

[jack1974]

I'll try the 4th to see how it plays, but sounds fun indeed

Is "Defeat the Kraken" supposed to show up more than once?

[jack1974]

The quest? no should show up only one entry in the quest book! You need to do several missions before you can fight it though.
edit: I think you mean the menu option while in Docks? Yes maybe I'll change it to "Hunt the Kraken" since until you explore all areas you can't fight it.

[Franka]

No, I mean, I just fought the Kraken for the second time. The first time was with cannons, the second time I didn't get any cannons. I got the same loot and the quest completed again.

[jack1974]

Ah OK then definitely a bug in theory though you should be able to try it again? if the quest doesn't clear correctly it should behave like that.
