Update Notes - Feb. 17th, 2013

[gbbishop]

Just seemed like they were disarming all of a sudden. Didn't see it as a bug I guess. The changes make much more sense now.

In retrospect my post does look a little negative. My apologies. I what to go on record saying a huge thankyou to PL for all his hard work. Certainly is refreshing.

The challenges are level appropriate (save the 3 stabhappys waiting in ambush)

I especially like the way the difficulty scales up. (referring directly to the temple on ixis)

Could even go up one more notch to the high talon boss fight. Making the room with the four gems like the room downstairs then the room downstairs could still have the boss. Unless we don't want the boss there anymore, but everyone loves a boss fight.

(The [green] dart blower is the one with confusion darts, I think. The two working in concert is what is scary and I think puts the encounter challenge at a higher level than the individual parts)

No need to apologize at all - I can understand being a little panicked at losing items like that. I just don't have an answer for you on Whurest

I do have a request - when you give feedback, try to give exact critter names when possible, and exact area names when possible. It isn't always readily apparent, without intimate knowledge of an area, which creatures someone is referring to or what zone is being discussed. The toolset can uncover this stuff with some exploring, but it eats up time.

Believe it or not, I haven't fully explored high level areas - those who see me, ever notice how many new characters I have?? So it would help me greatly if everyone could be a little more exact please. "Stabhappies," for example, I'm baffled about

[Seheren]

That is the name of one of the Kobold spawns in the jungle area before the temple.

[Phantom Lamb]

Roger that, I'll take a look then! Seemed like a nickname haha...

The dorfs of Whurest could disarm even before the update. I recall picking up player weapons after a particularly messy encounter quite a long time ago.

Took Julia on a trip to Argyle, strolled a little down the path towards the chapel and into the chapel proper.

Of note: Seems the zombie bowmen CR was adjusted lower, as Julia was no longer getting gold from killing them (no Knights spawned so can't say about them). Drops have been increased in the chapel, in both quantity and value. Fewer Abyssal Corrupters, so fewer dispels, so this would be more viable for those relying on buffs.

I haven't seen any "Zombie Knights" at all in Argyle anywhere actually. Replaced by the "mass blades of impending doom" happy casting orc caster maybe?

By chance has the banner drop of spot for Eboncoin been added back in yet?

Just a bump as this is still an issue. My Eboncoin character is 100 rep points away from 3k rep where some decent gear becomes available and I can't get to it because I can't return banners. Poor Kirk is probably tired of me begging for vouches!

[Phantom Lamb]

It should be there. Have you looked around?

[Snowmane]

To be honest I have not, but other faction members seemed to think this was still an issue. I'll try later this afternoon in the places that were mentioned in this thread.

[Phantom Lamb]

My suggestion is that you go get a stiff drink at your favorite bar.

[Thief Of Navarre]

How will that help? .... Ohhh

[Snowmane]

For the record, this works. Thank you.
