Yeah there is a split second at the start of combat where casting or using an instant doesn’t work. I just wait a quarter second before clicking anything.
I know what it is. It has to do with the battle id not allowing spells from previous battles. I'll increment the id as soon as you enter combat.Happens with Shaman:Scourge for sure.
If you don't wait for combat to start 100%, then asHateyou said, the spell completes but does not land.
Makes sense. The patch that fixed the carry over is when that cast problem started.
Everything except whites are unidentified. I usually carry a couple identify scrolls in case I get a purple or green so I can use it.
The amount of item drops you get stays within the realm of your bag slots (16). Could get 12 drops, could get 20 drops. I typically just hoard it all, replacing the whites, then the blues as I go. Then just identify them all in town when I get back. The game as far as I can tell is in a pretty playable state - just a lot of balance type of things with some classes (like the Bard being absolutely atrocious to play in the low levels) need to happen and a lot of classes just play whack-a-mole with their abilities in their current state. Im not a fan of how cloak and dagger a lot of mechanics are and I dont think a lot of people are going to agree with Maelfyn's stance on it, but "it is what it is."
Just the exp and items you got in the mission itself. You get a small chunk of bonus gold at the end of the mission. There’s no additional bonus at the tavern or anything.
I think what I might do is only guarantee a yellow drop if it your first time clearing the quest. That way there is an additional incentive to clear quests. Diablo 2 had this concept of boosting magic find for "virgin" kills of the bosses. I could boost the magic find when you kill bosses for the first time, too. I like that idea. It incentivizes running through the game again.
Well, if I make yellows+ extremely rare then blues won't be vendor trash. I'm just saying. It's all relative to what is statistically available to players.
That is correct. I’d be worried about what that would do to the speed of the game though. Being in majority blues would definitely slow things down across the board. There’s already some classes that perform pretty poorly even with decent gear. The game speed seems good to me at the moment but it depends on what you’re going for, not me. I’d just say that I don’t think people will be getting excited for yellows, even if they become rare. As currently designed the stats are just too random, I’ll vendor 20 yellows over my equipped blue item if the stats don’t line up.
Aye, indeed. I'm just being an autist though. I am tuning the drop rates so that even Brad McQuaid and David Brevik would cream themselves with gamer's delight. I want blues to be ok, rares to be great, and set/unique to cause a full-body transcendental orgasm. I also have future plans for white items. And I would like to add socketed items one day. So much fun ahead.
I think your greens and purple are in a good spot. They are fun to get, aren’t seen often, are usually useful/upgrades. Like I said they’re obviously more specific than yellows. I got the same purple item and it had the same stats, just different numbers within their range. Items like that are great cause you can look at one classes skills, design an item to be for them and throw it into loot pool and eventually someone playing that class will get it and be excited. The sets doubly so with the set bonuses.
