Wall Sight bug 13.2

[tinyelvis]

Getting fixed today - hotfix happening from 2 till 5 PM EST.


Is it wrong that I am wondering what will break when they put in the fix, or is it a Pavlovian response at this point?

Ran elite VON2 recently at level. Was super easy to complete since I could effect mobs with spells thru walls. Have played a bit with this bug. In the long run it actually often helps players out more. I could drop spells on mobs behind walls and doors and do other things. I never put much credence in the cynical comments that "Turbine jumps to fix bugs quick that only help the player." But in this case, that seems pretty true.

That's one way to take the focus off of the swim portion.

LMAO
I was actually looking forward to the swim that toon is being built for saves can buff him to high 40's at lvl 13. Was rather disappointed to get smoked in what I thought was going to be the "easy" part.

EDIT: On the brightside I got Annah in my party in Torment now. Shes a hot little kittycat like thing lol

The 'tickling' of the engine should have been tested exhaustively before releasing it to live. Throwing it up unannounced for a couple of days over smack in the middle of Crystal Cove was wishful thinking at best.

The sad thing is this happens just about every update. Everything is fine on lamma, then a couple days before release they tweak it, and it doesn't really get tested. And almost every time they do this, a major bug gets released to live that had almost no chance to be caught on test.

Seriously, it's about time to realize this system of tweaking right before release isn't working.

I probably sound like a rube, but 'what is Torment?' (and nice graphics!)

Torment is an older ADD game pretty bad a$$ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planescape:_Torment

Found my prolly 3rd copy brand new in the box at a thirft store the other day packed with a game called Soulbringer havent tried it yet.

I would start by asking her to dinner and taking her to a nice show.... LOL

And hope she doesn't get too "hot and bothered", unless you happen to be immune to fire or are nigh-immortal.

... a game called Soulbringer havent tried it yet.

Don't expect much from Soulbringer. I'm sure it hasn't aged well, and the graphics, interface, and gameplay were all clunky even back in 2000. Torment is an absolutely brilliant game, however, and I should probably dig it out and play through it again soon.

The final build was on Lamannia and no one noticed. No excuse, but it was there. I spun it back up this afternoon just to check my own sanity...which I'm slowly losing.

No offense, but it isn't our job to do turbines job.

From brief questing today:

Most things are back to the way they were before. No issues noticed in the Attack on Stormreach chain, or in Mired in Kobolds on the TR's. Didn't have a chance to run eClaw before the TR group logged on. I did test eVoN4 as that one REALLY showed issues before today's hotfix.

I still did have too-much-aggro in the stealth run of eVoN4, on the east side. I had several casters aggro on me before I stepped into the room while invisible, and as long as they had line of sight to me, they could cast their Firewalls and Soundbursts no matter where I was in the room. I could not get out of their range in any way. Some of these casters were far out of visibility range even with my distance settings on the maximum value.

If I stepped out of their line of sight, however, they could not hit me with those targetted-but-not-ray spells unlike yesterday.

Also unlike yesterday, I was able to finish that room and clear the puzzle and the boss, invite people in for the escape, then get promptly wiped because one of the invitees decided to step on every bloody dog on the escape and get red alert. If I remained solo, probably would have completed successfully.

Aside from the east side (multi-level room), it was working as it did pre-Wednesday's patch.

Planescape: Torment is simply one of the best games I've ever played, D&D or otherwise. Definitely one of the best character-arcs and plot lines in gaming.


If you've not played it, pick up a copy asap. I still fire it up every now and again, and marvel how well it's aged and I still enjoy playing through it for the umpteenth time.

It's the best game I've ever played in terms of immersion and storyline, hands down.

Wow, Turbine.

lol, should I even log in?

Edit: How does this even happen???

[Memnir]

Well, it's fixed now - so no reason not too.

Good stuff.

Was a bit reluctant.

You should have been in elite new invasion with me the other night like I asked... was wild, ya walked down the front hall and everything come running to ya, drop down a hole and everything come to meet ya...

If I remember correctly she had quite a high charisma score

Here is a video with the new healing and buffing "mechanics".

Isn't that awesome? No more complain from divine telling you that he/she can't heal you because you're behind the wall.
