David Benefield

Question

Hello everyone!
 
We have just placed our 2.1 patch onto the Beta Branches of GOG and Steam. Click here for instructions of how to join the Beta. Below are the initial patch notes for this release noting the new features and some of the more prominent bugs that have been fixed. As always, please let us know if this patch has any unintended affects on your gamestate or if you encounter any new bugs from this patch, here in our beta forums.
 
Also a note for our Ranger Watchers out there: Our design team has been listening to your feedback, and we are looking to add some new ranger abilities in our 3.0 patch.
 


Beta Patch notes for v2.1.0.0034

 

  • Fixed partially overridden game data objects getting unloaded with every other bundle reload (affected modded stringtables).
  • Skullcrusher Weapon now only injures 'Uninjured' targets.
  • Loading screen is now displayed correctly upon finishing naval boarding.

Beta Patch notes for v2.1.0.0023

  • Armor Penetraction for Amra backer item has been corrected.

Beta Patch notes for v2.1.0.0021

 

New Features & Updates

  • Shroud of the Phantasm - A new community-designed cape, the Shroud of the Phantasm seems to grant the wielder the favor of Wael, though the will of the God of Secrets is all but impossible to discern for certain. Wearers gain the ability to manifest illusory duplicates and are rarely, if the God of Secrets is watching, struck with bolts of understanding capable of turning the tide of battle. You can find this magical item hidden within Berkana's Observatory.
  • Ability Tree Preview - Thanks to our programming team, the Class Ability Tree can now be viewed outside of the level up screen! This can be done from the Inventory/Character Sheet UI, or when recruiting a new companion.
  • New Magran's Fires Challenges added - New challenges and old favorites have been added for players that want a difficult experience with a twist.  These challenges can be found by clicking the head of Magran at the bottom of the Title Menu.
    • Skaen's Challenge
      • The Fog of War is greatly reduced around the Player's Character.
      • Torches can help increase the vision area.
    • Abydon's Challenge
      • Weapons and Armor now degrade during adventuring.
      • Weapons and Armor can be repaired for a price through the Enchanting Menu.
  • Enchanting UI Update
    • The Enchanting Menu has received a visual re-work. Enchantment progression paths are now much clearer, and it should be easy to tell if a new enchantment will replace or rework an old enchantment.
  • Steam Workshop Mod Support - Mods will now be supported through the Steam Workshop page. Check it out to see what unique changes the community is bringing to the world of Eora!
  • Audio Combat Remixing - Our audio team has remastered in-game combat sounds, resolving a suite of bugs and generally improving the game as per community feedback:
    • Combat Chatter now provides more critical feedback and is easier to understand during combat.
    • Creatures have been tuned to spam sounds less
    • Ability audio has been tuned to react to other sounds (i.e. gets softer when combat chatter is playing)
    • And much more!
  • New Backer Items and Pets - Additional Backer Pets and Backer Items have been implemented to the game including:
    • 5 Backer items added (Locations in spoilers):

        • Stored and forgotten somewhere within the supplies of the Rauatai on Sakuya.

    Great stuff !

     

    Any performance improvements planned in this upcoming patch ? I've noticed, like many others, that there has been a significant FPS drop since Patch 2.0.

     

    Thanks !

    I had forgot to add these to the patch notes, and have done so :) A huge thanks to Roby and our programmers for work on this!

    Is Karaboru the backer item designed by dunehunter? :)

     

    EDIT: No fix for The Dichotomous Soul? :(

     

    EDIT II: Fighter's Penetrating Strike also had its damage bonus reduced from 100% to 20%. Worth mentioning in the patch notes.

    "Full Attacks made while dual wielding will now receive a -35% penalty to the damage they deal." - hahahahahaha :grin:

     

    haha.

     

    ROFL

     

    ... well, that's one way to address the issue. Not quite the direction I was hoping for.

     

    It certainly makes me less reluctant to pick two-handers over dual-wield, which I suppose is the issue that needed resolving (from Obsidian's point of view).

    It is not a big enough nerf IMO. Most rogue full attacks do + 25% percent damage anyway.

     

    You won’t even notice this nerf. Dual weilding still will be far better the two handlers

     

    Paladins hastening exhortation still only gives +5 dex for a Level 7 ability? This is just stupid.

     

    And monk twins ability still in ruin

    Little premise : Don't take this as a personal attack,  it isn't case i wanna be clear on that cuz in a lot of threads you've misunderstood or misread what people said

    After that what i wanna said is just:

     

    Please stop to ask unwanted nerfs , how you can see if you ask to balance they just nerf (cuz probably is the best way to beta- test and also  their main routine)

    Any nerf require to me or to other modders a lot of work cuz in the most of the cases people ask to revert that

    You've opened many threads about 2H vs DW and this is the result.. you not seem yet happy.

    You wanna that they also nerf rogue, while people are asking to improve the rogue class.

    If you want something tailored for you, please fill this mod request and i will be happy to satisfy any of your request that is in my chords w/o have to fight with game nerfs.

    Please listen me.

    Dichotomous Soul should be fixed in this patch as well. I think it was missed in the patch notes, apologies!

     

    As for Penetrating Strike, I don't believe it was ever at 100% (at least not intentionally), it was lowered from 25% to 20% back in v1.3, but that should have been the only time it was modified. If you are seeing otherwise (without mods), please let us know.

    Would rather see something like full attacks with dual weapons cost more resources, rather than a nerf to damage. Dual wield full attacks have a purpose of delivering burst damage and sure - spamming 1 resource full attacks with crippling strike, penetrating strike and flames of devotion is silly (those 1 resource abilities should cost 2 resources if dual wielding) , but some full attacks with expensive abilities like withering strike 3 guile should probably not be touched.

    • General
      • Berath's Blessing Skill bonus wording adjusted to mention bonus skills (not double), and Rogue now properly receives Sleight of Hand skill.

     

    It looks like Berath's Blessing is now giving skill bonuses to both Sleight of Hand *and* Insight for Rogues. It should give bonuses to Sleight of Hand only.

    My only issue with dual weilding at the moment is alot better as you have the magic effects of two weapons that stack and there arnet really any two handers that are as strong as that

     

    Thanks for the mod offer

    Brilliant words. As for me, with every nerf and mechanic/subclass changes i need to rewrite a bunch of abilities descriptions over and over again. It will be nice, if Obsidian settle down on some state and finally close this nerf-parade once and for all. If people will continue yelling about "too overpowered" or "too weak" and so on, this - nerfs and balance changes - will never gonna ends.

    Trough, i admire that game does need some surgical tweaks.

    Thanks for the patch and post! Has Xoti's lantern been fixed so that Light of the Dawnstar won't affect allied spells/buffs?

    That was fixed in the previous patch (or maybe the one before).

    In that case I must have misremembered. Apologies for the false alarm.

    Is the minus -35% for full attacks additive or multiplicative ? If additive, rogue would barely feels the difference ?

     

    Edit : okay, I checked the damage calulation thread on this forum. It would be -55% additive damage in most cases. Rogue are still much better with Dual Wield, also because Strikes still get double roll for applying afflictions.

    For other classes, Full Attack are mostly damage oriented (FoD, Heart of Fury, Barbaric Blows) and they don't get tons of bonus damages so I guess Dual Wield would be on par with other styles. You might consider Dual Wield for some build (if you REALLY want to apply Sicken with your Bleakwalker) but you may choose other options.

     

    It seems that Single Class fighter could look okay now. Take the hit + unbending spamming is basically 50% party damage reduction.

     

    Paladin Single Class could still need a bit of work. Upgraded hastening exo is passable for some party build (almost instant +5 Mig and Dex on a damage caster is okayish). Sacred Immolation is still dubious. I wish self damages weren't affected by Mig and PL...
