The (New and Improved) Hey Lynnabel Thread

[snook59]

Just pulled a +2 focused 10 goggles of Use Magic Device 0

The insightful UMD probably should have been a +2 but it's a zero, argggg, that would have been a great pull.


Am I screwed or can I get them fixed?

Thanks

Level 2 bard spells list "Bit of Bone" for the material component, while the actual reagent is called "Bone Bit". (Personally, I prefer "Bit of Bone" but make sure it's pluralized as "Bits of Bone"!)

Loading screen from Hall of Heroes to Smuggler's Rest has the text "DNT This is the lore for the Pirate Festival Public Area."

The PDK past life action boost tooltip says "Duration: 1 minute" instead of "Cooldown: 1 minute".

He says that he's never seen it proc once while using it (The Nightmares effect)

I am wondering if you could update this crossbow to Legendary Nightmares, it's already a raid item......... but really the nightmare attribute might as well not even be on it if it never procs.

I've had pretty good luck with the proc in Kobold Assault. It's still a fairly rare effect, but you can see it work there on occasion.

Tower of Frost - Duration is Medium and should be Very long (or at least Long)

The whole duration definition is crazy. I can complete A Cry for Help (Very Long) quicker than some so called short or medium dungeons. The Tower of Frost is far longer than A Cry for Help.

Hi Devs,

I just wanted to start by saying I am really enjoying playing the Falconry tree, nice work there
I have a Monk 20 that uses tier 5 Falconry (41 APs), tier 4 Vistani (26 Aps) with 13 APs in Ninja. Dual daggers, WIS to hit, dmg and tactics DCs in GMoF EDestiny. Great fun!

I, however, noticed that the DC tooltip for 'Death from Above strike' and 'Coordinated strike' is not fully updating [they both display 70 DC], whereas 'Diving attack strike' is [displays 94 DC]. They all use the same formula, hence me noticing a difference (I have screenshots, but do not know how to upload them here). Perhaps it is just their tooltip not fully updating? It could potentially be showing the real DC, and therefore, not fully calculating it as it should per formula?

I hope you are able to have a look at this when you have a chance, and thanks for all the great changes you have been implementing in the game: I have been playing since 2006, and I must say I have never had this much fun playing so many classes and characters (17 active alts in total) in years.

N.B. 'Deadly instinct' does not affect any of these Falconry DCs, as well as none of the GMoF attacks [only affects Dire charge and Quivering palm]. Also wondering if this is WAI?

Best wishes,

Hi Lynnabel,

Thank you for the bug fixes and all the improvements Apologies in advance if the bugs below have already been mentioned: this thread is so large, I did not have the chance to read all entries.

1. There is currently a bug with the DCs for the falconry bird attacks. I posted this in another section of the forums (quoted above)

2. I am playing a FvS healer with the beacon tree (great work there btw!), but I am struggling with selecting druid players to heal them (definitely in wolf and bear form, and haven't tried with elemental forms). When I try clicking on their avatars, it doesn't select them at all. I need to use the F# keys to select and heal them.

3. Once I log in to any of my characters, I make my way to the bank and open it. I start browsing the shared bank windows and then a bug happens: all bank windows close down (normally half-way through moving items into my inventory). In other words, I need to open my bank twice every time I need to use it. This happens everyday, on every character I play. I'm not sure what is causing it, or if this happens to anyone else. There are times when this does not happen, but I really do not know why it does/does not happen, sorry

4. I have bought several crafting storage upgrades, and currently have 1795 slots. However, once the number of items I store there went over one thousand, I can no longer see the total number of slots available: it shows '1,100 of '. I literally had to remove every item until it was 999 to be able to see it (then wrote it down somewhere so I wouldn't forget). Widening the bank window does not help resolve this.

5. The Epic Defensive fighting feature is affecting the Grandmaster of Flowers Ki attacks. My understanding is that they are not spells that are affected by metamagics, and therefore, should not be affected. Is this WAI?

These are probably the major bugs I can think of at the moment. Thank you in advance for having a look at them when you have a chance.

Best wishes,

Hi Lynnabel,

Just wondering if you had a chance to see this post. It would be great to get a comment on the Bird attack DCs (tooltip discrepancies), as well as the GMoF ki attacks being affected by the Epic Defensive Fighting feature.

I hope you get a chance to have a look at these at some point I know you are very busy with U40 coming up.

Best wishes, and thank you for the plentiful responses and fixes

Out of curiosity.

Playing around on my druid...

(Effects): You benefit from your Winter Wolf Form
(Effects): --- This bonus should be used ONLY player Speed, including monk, bard, druid modifiers. modifier to Movement Speed: +29%

That's... really poorly written.

(Also, it saddens me that Snowslide no longer works in public...)

Just plugging a few things I noticed over the weekend:

- Wheloon / Mirror: locked room mimic name is string table error.
- Druids chain, musk zombies are hasted by electric damage. (not sure if this is wai)
- Storm horns, What goes up, quest on the last objective "Sink the fortress" does not complete, seems like something can bug out oriphauns scripting at the very end.

Mother Night's Embrace ability on Macabre weapons is "...imbued by one of the two dieties of Barovia..." and deals evil damage. It's possible that Mother Night thinks that weight loss is bad and deals evil damage through starvation, but it's more likely that she is a deity, not a diety.

"Thinner...."

Actually, I think that runs well with the Gypsy type theme.

Guys, quick reminder - I don't and can't fix content bugs. Anything related to the quest panel I can't touch, anything related to quest objectives I can't touch. I read every post in this thread, bumping your own or other suggestions doesn't do anything at all to my queue. If I haven't replied to something in the thread, I can't fix it here. I'm sorry to be so harsh and ruin the mood but I really don't want to get everyone's hopes up

As for why this thread isn't stickied, it's because this alternate bug queue being "official" makes it hard for me to duck out when I need to focus on my actual job. As release cycles ebb and flow, I need to dedicate more of my time to my work priorities, and it looks like it's going to be a tremendously busy few months for me. This is and will always ever be just something fun I can do when I have a few spare moments - I can't promise that I'll always be able to dedicate my time to it. Put simply, I need an exit strategy for when we run out of typos and you guys start pressuring even more heavily to fix real bugs :P

This was a fun one to track down. Fixed!

After TR'ing, if you open the Epic Destiny panel and close it you will get a message to your screen and logs that you can't change your twists when you are under level 20. This message will be spammed every time you change zones until you log out.

The first is a text bug in the Legendary saga giver's dialogue, I suspect its supposed to be the word against instead of again. The second highlight is more of a nitpick, ending the sentence with for is ending with a preposition. Perhaps a better sentence structure would be " I have a feeling you may be the one for whom we have long awaited." Again its a nitpick as grammar is often incorrect when used in speech.

Do content bugs include things like changing audio files? Either way we all very much appreciate the work you do

If I figure out how to change audio files the first thing I'm going to do is fix whatever the heck is wrong with Let Sleeping Dust Lie :P

[Aelonwy]

Seconded. Just being heard sometimes takes the annoyance out of the bug. Do you forward things sometimes to the dev that can fix it?

[Lynnabel]

Sometimes, but usually it's just already in their bug queue already. The other developers don't tend to spam the forums with their bug fixes, so it does seem like it's mostly just me, but trust me when I say that compared to the rest of the team I am actually one of the least productive :P

[glmfw1]

Fixed!

Cool... with no more dieties, PDKs will stop feeling so image conscious when they venture into Barovia!

Please let us know when you do.

That misplaced audio in 'Ghost of a Chance' drives me friggin bonkers.

I figured the first issue was an error and the second was just because Lavinia wasn't among the better educated subset of NPCs. It may not be grammatically correct, but it is how some people speak
