Also, pummel isn't super useful.. it makes me invincible for 2 seconds after stunning an opponent. If the opponent is stunned I'm not taking any damage anyway.

The dragon has 3 spells it casts from what I can tell:

Fear - purple breath cast
Conflagration - Purple cast, fiery breath (ticks for 70-110)
Fireball - fiery breath cast, fiery breath (hits for 350-450)

I guess they are different!

You have to use it on the tail end of Pummel's availability. Eating an entire hit is useful! You just have to time it.

I'm almost positive Conflagration is also red or orange. It's a fire-based spell.

conflag has a purple cast and the actual thing hitting you (looks identical to fireball) is that fiery colour.

I'll change that tonight. It's supposed to be orange.

Aside from the repeatable quest reset bug, do you guys think we're close to a public release?

I could suggest you ditch the armor build and go straight up damage. Life leech improves *drastically* with DPS, which means if you shed a bunch of damage mitigation and HP but gain substantial damage, your effective HP will actually be quite a bit higher. My ranger rocks between 12-17 life leech and that is enough to get a steady flow going without the Dark Elf racial or the ranger heal spell.

When I played my warrior last year I also did what you did, but quickly decided it was not gunna work. Gearing for damage made life a lot better.

I think you've got a lot of issues to address still that will be deal breakers for people investing money in the game, but you're getting close. When I've got some time I'll write up a list of things that would prevent me personally from opening my wallet. Not only that, but you don't exactly have a staff working for you to address all the butthurt that will come from people losing items and exp from minor bugs. I think all your current players are understanding and patient, but when people invest money a sense of entitlement suddenly appears and angry emails get sent, lol.

For now I will mention that I've started to notice a lot of the funky weird broken stuff happens to my character when you're actively updating the game while I am still playing. You may want to do a scheduled mandatory downtime or something each night, or a system-wide warning to log off for the update. Most of the stability issues that I've encountered you've addressed so far but I will work hard to break your game more and find them all ^_^

Okay, thanks... it's at least a month away from public release because I want to do a kickstarter first anyhow. Plenty of time. Btw, I updated it today if you want to see the updated version. I think the written part is pretty much "final", and just images and videos are left to be added.

Good Lord.... you were right, mukkel:

mobCastDot("purple", 25, Slot);


PURPLE!?!!?!? WTF

I'm also going to change mobs' engulfing darkness to magenta from purple. It's more consistent.

Just beat normal on my ranger and the screen that appears after you beat the boss - the one with the planets and such was stuck on the screen. Is anything else supposed to happen here? Ended up just refreshing the tab.

Nope. That's it. You win at life! Game over. I think there's a button to click OK and it refreshes the page.

Same happened to me once when I beat NM, just refreshed and all was well. Forgot about that actually. I remember having the options tab open when it happened, I just figured that was what bugged it out.

Isn't there a button that says OK? Click it to reset the game.

I'll put an explicit Reset Button description in front of it.

Working on the quest reset bug now. Enjoy while it lasts ^-^

imo, the missing ok button on the 'end game' screen is way way more important.. you should work on that instead.

lol... wait, you seriously don't see it at all? There should be a button ... hmmmm priorities.

Lol, just noticed you still call her Vox. Dude, who is Vox? It's Matron Maelentia, bro.

Btw, decided I'm buffing yellow (rare) items. They will have max 7 possible traits on nightmare and 8 on hell.

Could someone explain how the quest bug works?

1. Kill Arcturin
2. Reload
3. Kill Arcturin again without fighting his dudes?

Strange - the ones he mentioned above show as quests for me, but I need to kill all of the mobs before fighting the boss. I can't do what he does and farm bosses for free.. though I'd exploit the heck out of that if I could!

BTW.. so done with this dude.. my last attempt.. Pretty sure he went apeshit crazy there...

Back to my ranger of WIN!
