[Aarik D]

Greetings Watchers!

We've updated the Public Beta branch for the Pillars of Eternity Turn-based Mode! It is now live on all available platforms. Thank you for your continued support and feedback! 

Combat and Mechanics

• Delaying a turn or ending turn without taking an action will now properly progress chanter phrases. (Based on elapsed Initiative)
• Chanter phrases should now progress correctly when the user has a very high or very low recovery time.
• Chanter phrase progression will now account for time from the start of combat until their first turn.
• Chanter's Ancient Memory will no longer cause a brief delay before every turn.
• Existing chanter summons are now immediately despawned in TBM when new ones are summoned.
• Fixed an issue that would cause the bonus from the Holy Power spell to sometimes stack and not be removed.
• Nature's Bounty will no longer make the caster unresponsive in TBM - It has also now been made a free action.
• Barbarian's Blood Thirst ability should now work correctly in TBM.
• Delayed Fireball should now properly respect turn time.
• Ticking effects should now properly applies their final tick upon their expiration.
• Spells with longer delays before jumping between targets will now respect turn time before jumping in TBM.
• Fixed an issue with very short duration damage/healing over time effects that were applying much higher than intended values.
• Very short prone durations (such as those applied by tentacle attacks) should now resolve properly in TBM.
• Characters performing disengagement attacks in TBM are not permitted to re-engage the victim in the same turn.
• Fixed an issue that could sometimes cause self-targeted buffs (often free actions) to fail to function properly after being reapplied.
• Fixed an issue where Push and pull abilities when used on prone/unconscious targets would cause significant issues with visuals and performance.
• Push and pull mechanics on certain characters in Durgan's Battery will no longer cause AI to not be able to end their turn properly.
• Fixed a collision issue when defeating certain enemy types with push/pull abilities causing movement commands to be blocked.
• Stacked Stun/Paralyze/Petrify etc... effects should no longer cause characters to be disabled for longer than intended.
• Fixed an issue that would cause characters to sometimes run in place in front of their target instead of performing their action.
• Fixed an issue that would cause characters of differing sizes (large vs. small and vice-versa) to move to incorrect locations when attempting to move into attack position.
• Fixed an issue where the Charge ability would sometimes cause the user to become stuck.
• Prevented a case where characters could become stuck if they attempted to perform an action while one was already in progress in TBM.
• Activating a free action or consumable while a cast action is in progress will no longer immediately resolve the cast action.
• Loading a game with a currently active cast action should no longer lock the client.
• Loading a game should no longer sometimes cause teleportation abilities to not function in TBM.

• Action Type and Initiative categories are now visible on abilities in character creation and level up screens.
