4.3 progress? Options

[coaster]

Hi Sikret

Sorry to be a pain but do you have any idea when v4.3 will be ready for public release (not looking for a specific day, but whether it might be a matter of days or weeks?)

I would quite like another run through BG2 with IA installed, but as there seems to be an increasing list of bugfixes & features for 4.3 compared to 4.2, I am wondering if it is worth waiting for a bit longer.

Thanks

Sikret, I don't mean overpowered as in game breaking. If you look at my post, I was comparing this HLA to those other classes receive. I only meant "overpowered with respect to other high level abilities," particularly those of fighters/theives (priest and mages are sort of in a whole different stratosphere).

Thanks for the clarifications, Marceror! They are always welcome to make what we mean clearer.

Just so we don't get tripped up on semantics, I'll choose a new word. Let's say, instead, that this power seems somewhat inequitable compared to what other classes receive, fighters and thieves, particularly. For example, a thief gets a 4 second boost to AC and some saves with evasion, and can invest a SECOND HLA point to improve the AC bonus and saves a bit (but not the 4 second duration).

I may do something for thieves too. But the first priority was to do something about the most useless HLA of the game which was "Tracking".

Comparing that to what you're suggesting, which is 10 rounds of regen that equals what a 7th level cleric spell can do, and immunity to some of the most lethal spells out there (including level 9 mage spell imprisonment), this just seems a bit too good, again, for an HLA.

A low level berserker can gain immunity to Imprisonment for the same duration of time and he can even refresh it with extra use of his enrage ability. So, having immunity to imprisonment for 10 rounds and only for one use per day "as an HLA" doesn't look too much to me. (Mother nature will not allow her child to be impisoned in a cell deep in the Earth; not at leat while they are in contact.)

The limit of one use per day helps, but again, my recommendation (as stated in my previous post) is not to change the regen, but modify the immunities to a bonus. Just a recommendation - I recall you asking for feedback. Do as you see fit.

Thanks for the feedback. I always read them and use some of them.

As an aside, apparently I need to be extra careful with my wording on these boards, because apparently the only thing that was noted about my last post was a single word: overpowered.

No, no. I read your entire post. My answer was not merely aimed at the term overpowered. Even if you had used a different word, I would have sent the same reply.

Thanks again.
