Undocumented Changes - Update 9

[Draccus]

I don't know if I missed these in the notes (they were quite long!) so I'll list a few things I saw on Lamma that I didn't see in the notes.

- When you evade a spell or affect, you see "evade" above your head in the same gray text that you see "miss" on a missed attack.

- New teleport locations: Stormreach Harbor (puts you by the gate to the Inspired Quarter), The Twelve (puts you in the Planescaller room), Crafting Area (immediately teleports you out if you try, due to it not being open yet).

- Diplomacy and Bluff now provide feedback messages. I saw something like "Moderately Harmless" after a diplo and bluff. I didn't test Intimidate.

Please tell me it was Mostly Harmless. If yes +1 to you, Devs. If not it's over -9000.*

*Those who appreciate the Mostly Harmless will have noticed that -(over 9000) is actually even less than over -9000.

One observation that I didn't see in the notes:

The adventure compendium now has a search field at the top.

It's a neat idea, though it could be expanded. It seems to only search on quest name. It would be great if it would also search on patron name. I'd love to be able to type in coin and have it narrow to just the coin lord quests, or what have you. It'd make trying to find quests for specific patrons easier.

Edit: It seems to search on more than just quest name. It'll also search on the "Bestowed by:" and the "In:" fields from what shows when you hover over a quest. That's neat because you could say, pick up the three barrel cove pack, type three and see the three barrel cover quests. Certainly useful, though I'd still like it to search on patron as well.

[Draccus]

Yes, it's "mostly harmless." It's an affect that applies to you. But I'm seeing some strange behavior with Bluff. I failed a bluff and, as expected, my next attacks were not sneak attacks. But after 3-4 non-sneak attacks, and WITHOUT bluffing again, I got a sneak attack. This was solo. Strange.

More testing is needed and probably a dedicated thread.

I apologize for not getting these included in the Release Notes. I've now added them. Thank you for spotting this.

[Draccus]

That's quick work!

I see the notes about Bluff but it's working a bit strangely. I'm getting the "mostly harmless" message on any Bluff, succeeded or failed. I also get the affect in my combat log ("You are affect by Dresek's Mostly Harmless." or something like that).

I'm only getting the free sneak attacks and icon over the mob's head on a successful Bluff but it lookes like I'm getting the threat reduction on any Bluff. WIA?

Sometimes during some animations of the monsters you get sneak attacks, even when soloing. I'm pretty sure I'v seen this before.

It would be great if it would also search on patron name. I'd love to be able to type in coin and have it narrow to just the coin lord quests, or what have you. It'd make trying to find quests for specific patrons easier.

You can already sort by Patron; how would this be different? Do you mean search by quest and patron or something?

[Edwinge]

I realize that you can sort by patron now, but that's a bit different than what I asked for (and not as handy). With the search box, as you type in it, the displayed list of quests shrinks and only those matching what you've typed show. You can then sort the displayed quests however you want. What I was saying before was that it would be nice if the search box would search on the patron name so you could show just quests for a particular patron. Once you do that, you could then sort the list by level, progress, or whatever else you felt like. Currently when you sort by patron the secondary sort is quest name regardless of what you had it sorted by before. Being able to see all the coin lords quests, for example, sorted by level or by progress could be quite handy.

[NexEverto]

Buffs are now lasting through death (And active while dead)... Interesting, not sure if that's WAI or totally messed up. It is amusing and handy though.

[katz]

combat expertise counts as a defensive stance and removes rage(spell)
CE does not remove madstone clicky
unable to get madstone effect normally with CE on from 50 or so hits, need more testing

also, BB is only 30 seconds, not certain if it was listed

It is a very sad day for any divine

my husband read the release note much more thoroughly than i did, and he noticed that apparently somewhere in there it says that extend no longer applies to any offensive spells. only buffs. i forsee alot of people dropping extend. i didn't have it on my divine anyway, and i won't drop it on my sorc. i like haste too **** much >.>

[patang01]

The Archon will 'turn off' every single time you go into a new place or area. In quest or out of quest. It'll be there for a sec or so (ex if you in Chrono go from area to the tavern) but then it'll be gone.

You can already sort the list by patron all you have to do is click on patron and the list auto sorts in alphabetical order by patron easy, your asking for something they already have.

it may have been mentioned later in the post, i didnt read it all. but all you have to do is click on the top of each.
adventure name | level | house patron | completed
iirc, it looks something like this. if you click where it says house patron, then the quests are listed by patron. then just scroll down and look at all the coin lord quests without having to type it in.
the same thing works for adventure names, which makes me wonder why they bothered to put in a search function since if you know how to spell, 90% of the quests are easy to find.
(i said 90 since i DON'T know how to spell worth a ****, and sometimes cant find what i am looking for.)

[y0himba.net]

Please tell me it was Mostly Harmless.

+1

(LONG time fan so yes, I do appreciate it)

[Draccus]

A minor change but the assassin's "vorpal on a 20 with any weapon" has a name change in the combat log. It now says "You hit a Windlasher gnoll with Vorpal Death Strike." where before it just said "vorpal."

And it works in Epics on low hp mobs as intended.

The Twilight Winter Wolf in the Vale has Rudolf antlers and nose. Something intended for Festivult this year accidentally left in this client build? Hehe.

[spyyder976]

If you've got a rudolph winter wolf and festival coins dropping, I'd guess that it's coming back very soon, kinda like Festivult in Summer last year...

Haha, that's the abbot bow for antlers.
