Okay. Really, the mod is totally fun and pleasure, but in the name of all that sacred, next version should ease up on spiders a little bit.
I thought 2 drow ambushes were hard to beat with those annoying spiders being everywhere. Apparantly, I was mistaken. Deeper underdark. Cave with an instant supply of whisper spiders (where they just keeping coming from nowhere). Really, how can I beat this thing? They dispel everything, they somehow draw characters from place to themselves, and sometimes they just kill chars instantly. Why is that? Why no info about the damage being done or save-throw being made (dwarf-kensai, instantly dead. huh?). And, finally, there are just TOO DAMN much of them, my characters can't handle them, even though I have a fighter-heavy party (vagrant, kensai, blade, berserker-cleric, sorc, thief/mage). I am doing buffs, of course, but they are being dispelled very soon and there is no point and time in refreshing them. Summons doesn't help much too (tried 5 hasted mordy swords). Tried magic (adwh, chain lightnings), but they are magic resistant, as it seems. I am no great tactician, but how am I supposed to win that battle? :) Just keep reloading and hope for better save-throws and no instant-kills? I would be really glad to have some advices on that battle. This is the first one in the game which makes me feel annoyed, instead of being interested, having fun and searching for better tactics. |

QUOTE He's immune to hold, I guess he should also be made immune to the hold animation that appears above his head. Agree. I also noticed that if character is held and "Free Action" is being cast on him, then hold effect wears off, but the animation still exists. |

QUOTE(Raven @ Apr 2 2009, 08:04 PM)  QUOTE(critto @ Apr 2 2009, 03:25 PM) SPOILER! r/c's Hold person seems to have taken effect on Heagan (no 'saving-throw made' message and the corresponding animation flows over his head), though he still fights actively. Nevertheless his hp's are going down quite fast. He's immune to hold, I guess he should also be made immune to the hold animation that appears above his head. This has been already fixed in v6 since a while ago. QUOTE(critto @ Apr 2 2009, 08:45 PM) I also noticed that if character is held and "Free Action" is being cast on him, then hold effect wears off, but the animation still exists. There is no way to fix this one. -------------------- Improved Anvil
 Cheating is not confined to using external software or the console commands. Abusing the flaws and limitations of the game engine to do something that a human Dungeon Master would not accept or allow is cheating. |
