DO NOT FORGET !!

 

Items disappear from character's inventory if dismissed to Stronghold. You need to empty the character's inventory (NOT the equipped items, just the inventory) before dismissing them to Stronghold to avoid the unpleasant surprise.

 

I found this bug when I replaced Aodh with Grieving Mother, leaving on Aodth all my grimoires found. I noticed that I remained without them when I recruited Aodh back. FUUUU !!!

what about the empty treasury?

Indeed.

 

Notifications informed me that taxes and adventure items were delivered to my treasury, on multiple occasions.

Nothing ever shows up in the treasury, however.

Tuned down Mind Blades? NOOOOOOOOO~

So...

Still nothing for 32bits users ?

Guess i won't be able to play this game further than the gilded vale :/

WHEN 'as soon as is possible' will actually happen? 

This is an awesome patch, good work guys!

 

Can't wait to get off work to play some more. I LOVE the game very much already!

Wow! Awesome job guys!

FYI the gane is playable since release, this is a patch. There is no stack of hay you cannot climb out of here.

Soon can't be soon enough. Thank you, awesome patch.

It doesn't seem as if balance is being applied equally to all classes given how powerful some of the druid spells are. 

 

Nerfing Ila seems good but Arbalests perhaps not so much given that DT and laziness and upgrade costs, not balance, are what decide ranged weapon choice. Rangers are heavily incentivised to use high damage weapons for wounding shot (raw dot), while marked prey seems like it hardly does anything deincentivising the use of fast weapons.

 

Unless the Arbalest goes to lower than 30-40 maybe even 28-38 damage it will still probably be the best ranged weapon choice if that changes then another weapon, probably crossbow, becomes defaco choice. I would say that some ranged weapons Arquebus, Pistol need a slight buff. 

 

Mind blades is powerful but I would think that it probably needs to not be able to crit at all in addition to other changes because unless the damage is made ivelevant crits will still supercharge it.

No fix for rogue's escape :/

i really dont like that balance changes ... nerfing 2 usefull mage spells and the only usefull cypher damage spell before lvl 11 ..... Well ill just override the nerfs

 

If you want to rebalance something do it with the spiritshift .... thats so bad its suicidal to use it.

Awesome news.

 

I am loving the game - slight bugs aside - I managed to extricate from Raedrics - and thank you so much for bringing back so much pleasure from a genre that has been sorely missed for so long.

 

Keep it up.

Thanks for the attention, here's hoping I can keep MY attention span long enough to enjoy the fruit of your labor. I have really bad attention span issues and got very bored of Wasteland 2 after having to restart AGAIN for like the third time with their non-retroactive patches.

 

I replayed PS:T recently and man oh man that game has had so much of an impact on my life it isn't even funny, probably the reason I got so into philosophy and even pursued a degree in it. It had the luxury of being seen by 12-year-old me, while this one gets boring 28-year-old me, and maybe because of that it just can't be as influential ever! But I imagine I will get a heck of a lot out of playing it anyway, and I have been waiting a long, long time I can wait a little longer for this patch.

Perfect, this fixes all the issues mentioned in https://forums.obsidian.net/blog/7/entry-179-patch-notes-103/

 

However, I do not find any update on the problem people have been discussing (unclear if its a bug or not?) regarding the 13th level of Endless Path's. There seems to be some door that doesn't open. And people suspect it is because of a bug and other people think it might be related to a certain choice when you kill a certain person (No spoilers) in Caed Nua.

 

Other people reported a moment on 13th floor where you talk to the ghost or something and they should open something. But nothing opens. Also on that note I read that you need to do something first until the ghosts open it.

 

anyways unclear is whether there are bugs on 13th floor or not.

Does the "battle stopping" fix how sometimes the introduction doesn't end because the event where the caravan leader talks doesn't execute, and does it fix how the stronghold invasions sometimes never end?

When is this update available?

Nerfs in a single player game are inacceptable. Good patch besides this.

 

But the nerf makes me really angry, that's not a freaking MMO, I don't want to be scared that my build will become useless or less efficient with each patch in a single player game.

Except the game is still not challenging enough on the hardest difficulty setting because of inbalance. Your build will not become useless or "less effecient" sure it might be "balanced" so it doesn't make the game trivial. If there's spells and abilities out there making the hardest difficulty trivial they need to be nerfed, and if people are fine with the fights being trivial, then play on easy/normal and it won't matter what build/spells you use it will all be trivial either way.

 

I was hoping this game would be hard, not balanced enough, needs balancing.

If certain abilities/talents/skills/classes trivialize the game, the nerfs are more than acceptable.

 

It's funny how you claim that PoE is not a "freaking MMO" and then proceed to complain about "builds."

Why did you nerf Beloved Spirits?!

Noooo!

But great stuff! Keep it up guys! Unarmed Monks might still need more love, though.

 

 

Don't forget the Wizard buff they made too: Tuned ranges of many Wizard spells to be higher.  -- Will be interesting to see how much this helps their their spells.

Yeah the mid/late game wizard should be very good but the early not worth i think. I have no idea what they did on Mind Blade so let wait and see.

 

 

 

As a matter of fact, wizards in PoE actually start off very strong, what with their fan of fire dealing 70+ damage, or their ability to use bows and suchlike.

 

 

Allow me to compare your PoE wizard with a BG1 AD&D wizard.

Your BG1 wizard starts with a grand total of 4 hp, 3 level 1 spells known, 2 casts per rest.

Your standard Magic Missile spell starts at a single missile dealing 1d4+1 damage.

 

At this rate, even a stray cat could kill you.

Although, if you were smart, you set his constitution at 16 so to be fair, your wizard would actually have 6hp , that's a 50% increase.

With a whopping six hit points I'm not sure a cat would be able to kill you outright... a dog now... I wouldn't hold my breath bro, hope you're good with that sling !

 

Your level 1 wizard can get killed in the first minute of BG1, when you enter a house just to be assaulted by an assassin and his trusty dagger.

A dagger deals 1d4 damage + the strength modifier.

Just the one unlucky crit (1/20 chance) or regular hit that does 4 damage (1/4 chance, discounting any STR bonus) and you're restarting the game.

 

That is how a weak wizard starts, not with spells that :

- can crit

- can slow the attack rate of a whole group

- can deal over 70 damage as an AoE

 

 

So my friend, we will have to agree to disagree here.

 

Wizards start off very, very, very strong in PoE when compared to a whole array of DnD games (BG series, IWD series, NWN series...), in my opinion.

 

I'm not sure why u talk about Baldur's gate when Baldur'sd gate have DnD Rules and the system they employ here is not based on DnD rule but it's their own rule set. It's heavily based on timing, control and interrupts + disengage. Also, i'm playing Path of the Damned and never you will do 70 dmg ( even on crit ) with Fan of Flame.If the mobs attack youre wizard ( you pause and click away to run ) (because you don't want him to tank) and Boom he die because the disengage killed him . In Baldur's gate you're weak mage can run if he want to. You have to Agree or Disagree here.

"Chill Fog is now a friend or foe spell."

BOOOOO

Well yeah, it's an rpg, so if a spell is too powerful, it's up to you to decide if YOU want to use it, or not. Not somedy else.

 

And yes, again, it's an rpg, you build the character you want, the way you want it. Builds or templates or whatever arn't born fromm MMOs dude. You're playing it alone, you don't care about what other think, it's you and you alone.

 

Why nerf some ? Because it's too powerfull ? Don't use this spell/talent/ability then, you're not competiting against anyone here. Or maybe because you don't need to use other spells because there's this one who work better ? Up to you, once again.

 

You want to use those ? then use them, but don't make it on others because you think it's acceptable or needed, once more, this is a solo game; builds are made through various means and aiming to various goals, each personal, and not because of the sake of "balance" or "having the best you can get", like Mmos do.

I didn't see anything about the transition bug in there, unless I mised it? I hope you guys are working on that one as well since it's a game breaker. I'm literally stuck in game and waiting for that patch.

 

Thanks!
