Alpha test Andor's Trail v0.7.0

[only1doug]

Will you be adding bug fixes/corrections to the alpha? If so, how will we know when to download a new version?

Keep reading this thread, when a new version of the alpha is released it will be announced here.

I've just downloaded alpha2 (its been a busy week, sorry) and reloaded to my pre-alha characters.

Questionable dialogue

Lethenlor

Lethenlor: But never mind that. I heard that there were some troubles up by the Charwood mining town recently
Hero: Charwood Cabin, where's that?

The Cabin is mentioned in the next line of dialogue but the player character had never heard it mentioned before, I feel that the hero's dialogue should be changed to: Charwood mining town, where's that?

Lleglaris

Lleglaris: I saw this hole in the ground that they seemed to come out of. The ground had been all corrupted around it.

Consider changing the last sentance to:
either: The ground had been corrupted all around it.
or: The ground had been completely corrupted around it.

+1 Really nice job Sorrow !

btw i agree with Antison; im building heavyarmour with two-handed kind a build and heavyarmour skill seem a bit too eeak. My poins are:
-there is not big enough difference vs lightarmour in total BC ... becauce lightarmour skills (in level 3) gives +90% BC and heavyarmour skill (in level 4) only +40% to BC.
-four level is too much atleast currently

I suggest to boost heavyarmour skill. I have two ideas to do that:
-If you like to keep that skill in level 4... Raice BC bonus of every level to 25% and give also in level 2 and four additional +1 to DR
-or reduce skill max level to 3 and raise BC bonus per level to 30%.

Any thought

I 2nd that saru. And thanks. I also wanna make a proposal on a new skill that I think should be auto given when you start a new game.
As I was playing a new character I noticed that due to the chance of food poisoning that I rather sell me meat for gold rather then use it. If we go to another alpha test how hard would it be to add a hunter's skill that you start with? Maybe it could add 2% AC 2% BC and a 50% chance of a meat drop (from monsters that drop meat)

Any thoughts on that?

Hmm... how about if hunter skill is something like:
-lvl 1; + 30% chance to get drops (not included gold or E/L items), +1 round to sustenance for any food, resistance against food poisoning 30%

-lvl 2; + 30% chance to get drops (not included gold or E/L items), +1 round to sustenance for any food, resistance against food poisoning 30%

-lvl 3; +1 degree of effect to all food product,
+ 30% chance to get drops (not included gold or E/L items), +1 round to sustenance for any food, resistance against food poisoning 30%

[sorrow]

Interesting. Again can it he added to next alpha?
I only brought it up as a one Lvl skill for Tue reason of later in the game when gold is not an issue you have the means to buy a butt load of potions.

Going by your input (saru) apon reaching Lvl 3 on this skill total drop chance (-L/E) would be 90% substance would increase by 3 food poison resistance would be 90% and +1 to degree of effect of all food products.

If that's right wouldn't it be to overpowering?

I propose it as a Lvl 1 skill (you start with for crossglen should have a hunter family for its a small town) were drop change -L/E is 45% food poision resistance is 25%

Im not fan of idea of automatic skill.... instead i like to see another skill like treasure hunter.


..edited and ad...;

If there are selection of skills abd you can pick one when creating a new character... i might be intrested

[sorrow]

New map bug: I was just killed by a fox south of the entrance to the snake cave. When I returned to the place were I was killed all the monsters in that map area were gone. I went one map tile down all misters were there. I returned to the map tile I was just at and only one monster was there. I will try to repeat this bug.



EDIT……………
Tested above bug. Did everything the same and same thing happened mentioned in above statement.

[Piggy the Slayer]

Hunter skill could be a Crossglen quest rather than a skill that you start with. Perhaps you are asked to kill a boar thats disturbing the villagers. You could then be taught to hunt and skin game by the npc near the rat cave.

[sorrow]

I like that idea piggy and it would add another low level quest plus it would be easy to add I think.
