Patch 1.1.0 Updates Thread

[David Benefield]

Hello Beta Patch folk!

 

Version 1.1.0 is almost ready for release. The Devs have been working on this patch for quite a while, and our QA team has been doing the best they can, but we would love to get your help again in seeing if anything has snuck by them.

 

You can find instructions on how to opt in to the beta branch on this thread.

 

Due to the quantity of fixes in this patch (there are well over 1000 fixes in this update), we won't be exhaustively listing them all out. Below are all of the features and a small subset of the fixes in this patch. We'll continue adding to this list as we near the patch release.

 

For those who have modded the game

You may have to uninstall or update your mod when you update the game as they may not be compatible with v1.1.0

Updating spoiler that said the bug instead of the fix.

You nerfed Body Attument. So now it is single target "And Hel Hyraf Crashed". It is not like Ciphers ware particulary OP (outside Ascession spam).

[Rimberth]

Russian community need localization fix

I agree. I hope they make it.

[Tagaziel]

Does this fix the date to show 2828, not 2823?

[The Liquor]

is the difficulty skulls not being visible while level scaling is enabled fixed with this patch?

or is that an intended feature?

[Dopsim]

Xoti dialogs after she harvest ghosts still dont work. Nether a some over dialogs of companions. WANT TO TALK flash and generic dialog starts. Will this bug even be acknowledged ever?

Do any of these changes "mandate" a new game? I just started over (bugged game thanks to a mod) and would like to know if I should start over again. I'm not off newb island yet.

Ahh, so it is a bug, I just thought I did something wrong.

 

Anyway, the Engwithan digsite lower level transition now crashes the game for me while it didn't before.

[Carmir]

Cannons are way more expensive now, one Double Bronzer costs 2000 pires.

[eschu101]

Does the fix for POTD work on games already started?

[Aramintai]

Some hairstyles (or is it the hat's fault?) still have bald patches when wearing hats:

I've problem with AI Editor. I cnnot see any spells for wizard, so for this class is useless. Only options I got is set of weaopns or item. For other classes everything works perfectly well.

[Aramintai]

The beta patch fixed 2 Aloth's conflicting dispositions by removing one, but now he has too few dispositions and only 2 of those are positives. How are we supposed to raise rep with him if he has so few things he likes?

It's not fair when other companions have so many:

While Aloth only has 5:

 

He should at least have a positive anti-Leaden Key disposition when he's anti-Leaden Key, or positive pro-Leaden Key disposition when he's pro-Leaden Key. But more positives should be added as well, maybe Skulduggery, Progressive and Resourcefulness.

I'm definitely on version 1.1.0.0023, but I don't have the "start and skip intro" button. I actually have a blank space between "start game" and "cancel" where the button should be when I try to start a new game.

 

Looks like you have to play through the intro at least once after installing the patch. I played through the intro once, and the button to skip appeared the next time I started a new game. (I'm fine with this, would be a good addition to the patch notes though.)

 

 

Thanks! I had to hunt down a programmer, but you are correct. You either have to go through the intro once (post patch) or load a save. I'm adding that to the update list now.

[David Benefield]

Adding a blurb about the mysterious 'In progress' part of PotD, here's what's still in progress:

 

In Progress: Build 23 does not yet contain our updates to the following areas, these should be in our next update to the beta

• Hanging Sepulchers

• Hasongo

• Cliffside Temple

• Drowned Barrows

• The Ashen Bridge

• The Jagged Keep

• Lair of the Ancient

• Poko Kahara

[Slotharingia]

On Aloth, not only does he have way too few things on offer, pro duty imo conflicts with pro automomy and anti tradition. He could be progressive, worldly, possibly resourceful/skulduggery (he seems to like dressing up as Arkemyr, not to mention his own antics). Irresponsible and Dutiful could be scrapped and replaced with "Responsible". He doesn't need to judge people for being irresponsible since it's often a bit silly esp. as he doesn't react negatively to slavery/racism/abject poverty etc. He's an intelligent, well read, educated, well -travelled guy who's experienced a lot, so I feel there's more to him than the game is providing.

[Nemesis7884]

the nerf to whispers of the endless path seems stupid...makes the sword pointless

[Sephyr_87]

Thanks for the incomig patch, was wating for this from a while! Will You improve the variuos localizations as well?

[Insolentius]

"iroll20s" if you can't handle OP toys being taken away from you.

I have to agree. 

 

I'd also add that it looks like it's very easy to gain his disapproval now. I'd had him in my party approximately ten minutes and had one conversation with him when his approval was already at -1 and he voiced his concerns about how I'm being way too traditional-minded. I'm assuming that's not supposed to happen.

It's not so much the sword being OP, as there being absolutely no reason to take it now. It does half of normal greatsword damage, but attacks twice. Now, it just does half of normal greatsword damage. What's the point in keeping it, again?

Did they remove the AoE? If not, then there's your answer.

Well for a sword you can get only by making kinda major staff in previous game it's kinda weak. Especially when you need to spend gold for it in this game . I doubt anyone gonna use it now.

[Ascaloth]

Respeccing a multiclass Watcher still causes you to lose 1 Ability Point from the second class you would otherwise get on character creation, as far as I can tell.

[Ryujiou]

Would it be possible to keep toggled weapon modal abilities on after switching weapons?

 

 

I really see no need to keep turning manually the modal abilities after every weapon switch.
