PrimeJunta Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 @Stun: How are you playing your wizard? 'Cuz I'm finding Aloth (plus one Chapter 1 trial run with a PC wizard) more than competent, and I haven't been abusing Slicken or Chill Fog (didn't even notice the latter is foe-only). Fan of Flames, Curse of Blackened Sight, Reveal Vulnerabilities, and Wall of Fire have saved my bacon more than once. And at least Curse of Blackened Sight is now way more powerful. I have a project.

Silent Winter Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Is there any word on how soon this patch will be distributed to gog.com? The weekend is coming up and it would be nice to be able to play with these fixes over the weekend. I should also probably submit a ticket about not having my kickstarter bonus items on my gog.com account too.

Grand_Commander13 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Patch notes looks ok but anyother fella thinks Strongholds event history UI should be decending rather than ascending? I thought Its gona patched out too Thank you so much for reminding me. This irritates me so much but I keep forgetting by the time I've closed the Stronghold menu. 1 Curious about the subraces in Pillars of Eternity?

TrueMenace Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I stopped playing when I got to the second floor of the Temple of Eothas dungeon after realizing the bugs. Can't wait for Patch 1.03. Should make the game much more playable and less nerve-wracking in encountering nasty bugs. Calibrating... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Its gona patched out too Rymrgand, yes. I've been breaking my brain over the appropriate forum to post minor suggestions (including this) though. I'm also bewildered to hear Stronghold guards calling me "stranger" (what do you want, stranger? or something to that extent). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarack21 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 There's plenty of scrolls in P:E as well. And you can make more. Scrolls area vital part of my strategy. They allow a great deal of versatility between different types of casters and greatly increase the usability of all casters without the need for excessive resting.

Maydawn Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Can anyone explain how were wizards nerfed ? Except the increase range on spells, I see nothing changes for wizards, did I miss anything ? Also, people keep saying they're useless, but atleast for me on Hard, they seem fine. I just save my spells for tough fights and don't spend them on "trash mobs". Blinding, Fireball-ing, Confusing a group of 5 Ogres is the difference between win and lose. I would have NEVER survived this fight without Aloth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarack21 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Changes to Slicken, changes to Chill Fog, etc. are the main reason people are claiming nerf. These seem to be people who have no idea how to play a mage except "ZOMG NUKZ!" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrimeJunta Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 They fixed two broken spells, Slicken and Chill Fog. That's causing a lot of butthurt. They also bumped up damage on a bunch of others and made Curse of Blackened Sight foe-only, which for some reason the butthurt ones fail to notice. 2 I have a project. It's a tabletop RPG. It's free.

Mungri Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Also I don't like the arbalest Nerf. The weapon is super slow to make up for its stronger hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarack21 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Also I don't like the arbalest Nerf. The weapon is super slow to make up for its stronger hits. So are all the firearms. I'm sure they just brought down to be in line with the other slow but hard-hitting weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilitarist Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Nothing about long save/load. A pity, can't play like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerdwing Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 The nerf to the reload song is gonna be rough. Not so sure if Kama is worth hauling with me now :\ Maybe 1.5 instead of all the way to 1.2 would be more reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PIP-Clownboy Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I'm not butthurt, but chill fog lingers for so long that it was nice tanking mobs inside it. That's just lazy though. Slicken has been waaay too good for months but I always used Chill Fog like it was foe/friendly so the nerf won't affect my style even on my freeze mage. It's fairly easy to micro and funnel mobs into the CF radius. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rheingold Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Guys complaining about wizards are just used to them being completely overpowered as opposed to balanced. There is nothing wrong with them - they work perfectly well, if anything they are still a tad overpowered. Good that mind blades is being nerfed it's completely bonkers at the moment. Overall looking forward to the patch, thanks obs. 1 "Those who look upon gods then say, without even knowing their names, 'He is Fire. She is Dance. He is Destruction. She is Love.'

mazeltov Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Some of the best CC was in level 1 spells. Now some of the best CC has shifted to level 2 spells. That's not a very big change. Don't most players hit level 3 before Raedric's, even?

Don't most players hit level 3 before Raedric's, even? I think the changes to Chill Fog and Curse are an attempt at making the CC-only spells better at CC than the CC+damage spells.

PrimeJunta Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Nothing about long save/load. A pity, can't play like that. Yes there was. The long save/load was caused by player-laid traps persisting, including the frost traps laid by Kana's frost trap song when your party moved around. That's been fixed. I have a project.

pedroantonio Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) "Character Hit Autopause option should be working as intended." I wonder if "Spell Cast" and "Weapon Ineffective" autopause options got fixed as well, they were presenting the same wrong behaviour, Spell Cast was triggering on your casting instead of on enemy casting and Weapon Ineffective when enemy weapons were ineffective, not yours.

'Cuz I barely use traps and my save/load times are ginormous and growing. Kana has that one chant which makes characters lay frost traps as they move. That was the main cause. There were other objects that were supposed to be non-persistent which ended up in the saves and bloated them, which have also been cleared out, but that's the main one. I have a project.
