I have resolved bug #2 doing the following. I had 6 party members: myself, Edér, Aloth, Durance, Kana and a newly created Paladin at the inn. Dismissed the paladin. Loot was working then, even after reloading the same savegame. Rerecruited her and loot it's still working. What gives !!!

Hello. After installing 1.0.4.0540 I have decided to start from scratch with a different character. However I have found out two new bugs not present in 1.03 1. Now all my companions are silent in battle. Not a big deal though. 2. I cannot loot anything in the Temple of Eothas. Either found loot or creatures dropped loot. I am checking Steam cache... PS - Steam caches says "all files succesfully validated".

I have also experienced this. It's not marked anymore. And I have experienced two other related bugs. I am posting them in another thread.

Yes. The wonders of Steam. 592,2 MB. I think those Steam guys don't know what INCREMENTAL PATCH means.

I have already got the "marksman" talent. And there is another related talent "gunner".

Thanks for the suggestions/replies. I think I have Sagani armed with Persistence and I already have the penetrating shoots trait. He is doing well so far. I have equipped Kana with a nice wand/scepter I found but its damage output is a lot lower than before. It's fast though. As for pistols, who wants to use a pistol where there are blunderbusses? @MadDemiurg Sniping = Taking enemies down from the back lines?

It's not the magic power per se, but that you need to get up close and personal for casting some spells. That and many spells have a tiny cone and you have to take into account friendly fire too. Another minor gripe is that sometimes I can't see a thing of what's happening on the battefield because of light effects. But that's another question.

I did the same and he appeared at the Black Hound inn in Gilded Vale.

Then dismiss the ones that you are not interested in. Yes, but they all have ongoing quests that I would like to solve (getting xp).

Hi. Aside for tanks, I have my main rogue, Kana and Sagani as support snipers. Blunderbluss damage output is ok but its range leaves a lot to be desired. And now arbalests are nerfed. Sagani has got an ability to use Hunting bows, so I gave her that type of weapon. What do you suggest for a sniping rogue/Kana. Should I keep the blunderbuss? I have swapped Kana's arquebus for a powerful arbalest. Is it ok?

Yes, you are right. But most of the time my roster is full due to predefined characters.

Same. I had a bad time beating them on level 9 I think.

Agreed. Let's hope for a DLC that will be good. I hope.

Hello. First of all I have to say PoE is a wonderful game. It's exactly what was promised and more. Anyway, even if I haven't finished it yet (Act 2), these are my two main complaints. 1. Forced companions. I hate when you create a custom companion and he/she is always one level below. On the other hand, the game forces you to create just one main character and fill your roster with predefined NPCs which most of them suck by the way. I would have preferred to create, three or four companions, and have one or two extra NPCs for the ride. To each its own I guess. 2. I am not very fond of magic characters and I feel magic sucks in this game overall, for the particular reason 90% of spells force you to get into melee range for casting, thus enabling baddies to get to you up close and personal. No good at all. Non buffing spells don't feel specially powerful either (at last for me). Last try was with Grieving Mother. Meh. Not impressed at all.

Same here. Still waiting for 1.04 to do Durance's quest.

Yes, you have to manually level him/her up. Sometimes when the portrait background is of a light colour (white/yellowish) it makes hard the gold cross to see.

You are right. It sounds like your cache may be corrupted. Time for a checkup.

+1

I am still at ACT 1 and yes, I am loving the exploding maggots incantation. Nice damage. I have also the skeletons invocation chant and some others not too useful, like the charm one (very low radius); push enemies back one and another one I don't remember becuase I hardly use it.

the door for reentering the Endless Paths is located OUTSIDE the main keep. It's a trapdoor near the East Barbican.

Awesome.

As Edér would say... "Maybe we should come back later..."

It seems like some sort of graphical corruption. Are you on Steam? Try validating the game files (cache). If it's still failing, trying doing a video graphic driver cleanup with Wagnard's DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) and reinstall your videocard driver afterwards.

Well. I hope these issues get patched later, at least ironed out if not fixed altogether.
