This hotfix will correct the following issues:

• Mask of Deception, Necromancer's Doom and Sacrifices can no longer be run on Reaper Difficulty.

Uh?

Do you mean can no longer be run at 7+ levels above base on Reaper?

Or is there a reason why these 3 quests cannot be run on Reaper at all?

[Cordovan]

Korthos Island quests are not intended to be available on Reaper Difficulty, and Mask of Deception has an issue with it due to the way the quest mechanics work.

I don't recall quite at what point during Lammania testing it was mentioned, but if memory serves Korthos isn't supposed to be able to be run at Reaper difficulty at all.

So wait? All the easy farming quests are being taken out, but we need 6.25 Million XP to get endgame reaper items.
Reaper XP is pretty miniscule as it is.
I mean, we would need several thousands of quests, thats more than what hardcore players have done in their whole playtime.

You have missed the whole point of Reaper. As has anyone who wants to run Korthos on Reaper.

[Malex]

went in depths of discord and doom on reaper 1, noticed a "problem" lol: there are (there) some oozes that when killed spawn an "istant red dungeon alert" mob.
Which means they spawn 2-3 reapers. Those 50hp slimes are now the most dangerous thing at lv 7 lol

[JQP]

I noticed that this update brought some changes to the keyboard function. For example, I can no longer use the "Q" key to select an item, or the "E" key to pick up a selected item? Q now moves my toon to the left and E now moves it to the right. Is this WAI? If so, are there other keys that now serve these functions? Looking forward to the new adventure.

I did not know the new quest was supposed to be free, and I was so anxious to try it I bought it using points. How do I get those points back, or is this a "lesson in stupidity" for me? (Hey, that would be a good name for a future quest)

would you kindly timely investigate and add to the list:

Fixed a bug that causes 4 off 8 players in group to loot only ONE Tempest Rune from Endchest.

All others got the LN appropriate 64. All candidates for 1 rune only had dominant class rogue ... Since you are at it, go ahead and check hound and shroud too plz, bet ya your reaper lootlist caused some weird bug for rogues only 1 rune on all 3 raids. gratz on great update btw.

#same****asusual

edit: correction, an undead melee monk also only got one rune, and apparently 1 rogue did get 64. still, half the party got 1 rune ...

There is also an issue concerning favor.

Reaper awards zero favor. Further more, if you do reaper as your first time for a dungeon, you can not get any favor by doing elite, hard, normal, or casual.

Try logging off and back on and see if favor appears correctly after that. I think you are actually getting it, it just doesn't show up right away.

[LrdSlvrhnd]

You have missed the whole point of Reaper. As has anyone who wants to run Korthos on Reaper.

Of course, SOME of us would enjoy running lowbie quests in reaper mode for more fun. I think 10-skull Misery's Peak would be a hoot even on a capped character. Some of us would rather do this than another type of XP grind...

Q & E work normally for me. Sounds like your keymapping got borked somehow. Try remapping (under Options > Key Mapping) and see if that works.

To the right of reaper is where the favor amount is.

I think that will do it. Thank you!

My friends and I took some level 3s into Necromancer's Doom and Sacrifices and had a blast. It was plenty challenging for us on 6 skulls with several near party wipes. I can see why you might want to keep Reaper out of Korthos.

I'm having a great time with Reaper thus far Devs...I;m very glad you added it to the game

Tower of Frost is great fun as well. I really like the illusionary puzzle and the small touches like the satyr with the shovels

[Clemeit]

Yeah... I'll be darned if people go have fun.

It's not someone *has* to select Reaper. Why not have the option available for those who do want to?
... meh w/e. Shame we'll never have the challenge of Reaper MP

If you do the quest first time in reaper, you show 0 favor points in the log. Because reaper is higher level, doing them at lower levels still results in 0 favor.
I went and did a quest i had done elite first and it maintained elite favor point value.

Yep.

[Powerhungry]

favor- running first time on reaper shows 0 favor but it is a visual bug- log off and back on and it will show correctly
