Update #95: Patch 1.05 - New Features


Recommended Posts

You want our thoughts so here goes... It's really wierd that you continue to nerf and buff characters post release for a non MMORPG.  It's annoying that they nerf stuff.  AND they might not be done, this was done on May 8th. These changes affect saved games, and will change/buff/nerf.  It's too much!  Quit it already! See below:

  • Minor Arcane Reflection base duration is changed to 60 seconds.
  • Llengrath's Displaced Image gives 50% hit to graze conversion on Deflection and Reflex.

  • All Spell Holdings are 2/encounter.
  • Soul Shock radius reduced from 2.5 to 1.25.
  • Blizzard damage reduced significantly and attack speed increased to from 0.2 to 0.8.
  • Overwhelming Wave now uses a range of 30-40 and stun duration lowered from 10s to 8s.

  • Bracers of Spiritual Power and Archer's Gloves reduced damage from +20% to +10%.
  • Scroll of Revival AoE reduced, range slightly reduced, and restored endurance halved.
  • Marked Prey and Sworn Enemy have been set to 0 recovery actions, so they can be used and the Ranger/Paladin can immediately act again.

  • Vile Thorns has had its damage increased and range decreased.

So, in order to play the game without the makers nerfing my characters, I need to wait several months until they stop nerfing and buffing MY GAME.  It's my game now Obsidian, PUT THE NERFING AND BUFFING TO REST!

At least you can play it.

 

I won't even get the chance to play 1.0.0 even if I want to. I guess it's 1.0.4 that'll be on my disc when it turns up? Dodging spoilers has been so much fun thus far and I've been at least 70% successful at it!!!!!

Why are new features being rolled out with these updates? This game is barely playable. I'm playing v1.05 on a MBP (no discrete GPU). I get at least 5 crashes/freezes per 2 hour session. I understand it may not be an efficient use of time to have everyone chasing down bugs, but IMHO 'features' can wait until you have something that resembles a stable game.

Have you been having crashes since it came out? I'm also playing on a MB pro but from 2009 and mine hasn't crashed at all. It's slower than the turtle olympics at start up and exiting the game, but just a little slow otherwise. Which OS are you using? It's not uncommon for the newer OS systems to not play well with software that was not specifically written for it.

I downloaded it from GOG a few days ago (after the most recent patch). I'm on Yosemite (10.10.3). I am getting consistent crashes on loads, saves, transitions, and sometimes for no apparent reason. I've searched around for fixes on my end and have found none for the problems I'm experiencing.
