You were expecting Terramak, but it was ME, Panderus!

This is being updated to Preview now.

ironzerg79

Or a Terramak in a Panda suit...how can we really be sure?

lwedar

pretty solid update. The OP loop fixes are much appreciated. I do have a feeling you are never going to fix Hero's Feast though

also big thanks for avalanche fix!!

anim3k

Panderus sir, 2 Question:

gankdalf

Avalanche fixed, finally, only took 6 months or so. Maybe Elven Battle next?

Boons: Icewind Dale: Avalanche: Stacks of Avalanche can now only be gained once a second.

Is this real life right now? It only took 6 months to fix!

mamalion1234

thanks for knight valor and divine protector fix. thanks for avalanche too.

Come on people, where are the dungeons?! There's no way we've been waiting for dungeons for 3 mods now especially when you said Underdark is going to be dungeon heavy. There were hints about Dread Vault coming back, where is it? What about the zillion other dungeons you took away? A lot of people won't be able to survive through 3 - 4 more months with the current amount of content even with the new campaign. Come on.

urabask

They already said there aren't any dungeons coming back in mod 8 : |

chartos

Will there be a fix for CW spell twisting bug where spell twisting does not work on Ray of enfeeblement, shard of endless avalanche, icy rays of when spell is on tab.
Will there be a change in transmutation cost, 50k per item is expensive in current economy, and wondrous bazaar needs some fixing too, some things in it are still too expencive. Will there be an NPC that sells old equipment purely for transmutes? Old gear looked so much better and had more quality to it and it would be a nice money sink, its collecting dust in game files anyways.

Well, kinda glad it was you. I don't know Terramak well enough yet. Nice patch notes! Patching soon!

lazaroth666

Any word about fixing Unstoppable? It's really annoying.

kolatmaster

Thanks for the nice update Panderus!

Even if you may be the incognito Terramak.

That being said...

People, please give it a rest already. Do us all a favor and when new Patch Notes come up, don't derail the conversation with, "What about this... What about that... Blah Blah Blah."

Focus on what's being mentioned in the Patch a notes themselves. There are PLENTY of threads where the topics of your concerns are directly addressed.

I'm not saying you don't have a right to express your opinion, and in fact there are a LOT of other things they should be addressed by the Devs directly. However, these threads should focus on what is addressed in these particular Patch Notes.

Thanks for the common courtesy, it's greatly appreciated!

Yes, what is weird, I only have the unstoppable problem on one of my GWF, the one that used to be sentinel. But it had an issue with unstoppable not granted the temp hit points at all, even though I had it feated, so I changed him to destroyer and now it works fine, other than not activating sometimes.

But yes, a good group of fixes, for certain. Makes me wonder if next week's preview update is going to be very small or not, as this seems to put everything else in, except for the part that was said would not be on preview at all.

eion311

Has it been discussed where exactly we obtain a "Stronghold Class Armament"?

I do hope for one thing in the mod, that we are able to purchase the mainhand and offhand from any class on any character. We all know that there are certain classes and builds that are wanted and not wanted in group content, so this would make it easier to get them.

hawkfr

Am I the only having this "Error 36: A file was locked that couldn't be open for writing, Restart in ... sec" ?

lwedar

lol you shrunk the champion's armored bulette

zeusom

Thank you thank you for Avalanche fix!
- from every pvp SW fury ever (all four of them)
