Chainguns and chainpistols are devastating weapons. I think 5-6 shots every time you pull the trigger, with chainpistols hitting 10-12 if you dual wield with the dual fire skill. They tear everything up.

Re: Electrobow = light. Never knew that. I typically have a glowsphere of some variety pretty early, though wandering around this game with nightvision at night is fun, since nothing aggros unless you can see it. Makes hunting equimax easier since those god damn dragonflies don't aggro at night without a light source.

I wouldn't have noticed the light aspect either, except that I was playing a True Man (child of the Deep) who started with a headlamp and had left my Knollworm Skull on after trading for the bow and went down into a cave. Was wandering around for a bit and then realized I had never switched helms but still had light. The bow was brighter than the headlamp, too. About as good as the Mining helmet.

What i read is * HAHAHAHA U DIE MOAR NOW

Yep, I'm never updating again.  I mean really, what did Cave of Qud need?  Oh right, make it fucking harder to survive at low levels.

Question:

Can be pick turrets back up now? I remember the only time I tried, I couldn't pick it up to recover it.

Just got a crash when trying to have a character with a Stinger:

Code: [Select]

RunSegment:System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

And a second, with a different character. This time I was just trying to pick up some items that I'd dropped into a pile:

Code: [Select]

You might want to fully delete and reinstall. If you modify a file like objectblueprints.xml by accident, like by hitting save with it open in notepad, the installer won't overwrite it the next time so you'll end up out of sync between the xml file and the main game executable. I need to figure out how to force the MSI to update all the files regardless of edited state.

Finally. That was annoying me to no end.

*Glowfish are no-longer hostile

You mean they aren't hostile bastards with a taste for human/mutant blood?

[Toaster]

That'll make finding the glowpad merchant easier, though more annoying if you're using them for a quick early level.

Stunning Force is absolutely hilarious against them.  It's like dynamite fishing.


Thanks for adding the clock as well.  It's annoying to not know what time it is.

[beorn080]

Interestingly, as part of this change, everything seems to attack the glowpads now, including the merchant. Of course, this time the bastard has a 1000 dram weird artifact and the croc didn't have the courtesy to kill him for me so now I have to buy it.

[Mephansteras]

Doing a fresh install seems to have helped. Not sure how it got messed up but, eh.

[Toaster]

What is the relationship between Multiple Arms and the Dual Wield skill?  Does the skill apply to each arm, or just your original left arm?  If all arms, it seems raising the mutation itself will be overshadowed by the skill.

[Toaster]

I just ran into a hermit wearing and wielding chain mail.  Awesome.

Also, a random merchant has a $1785 unknown artifact that I want badly.

[Niveras]

I tend to agree multiple arms is a little underpowered. Even at 10 points it's only about a 16% extra chance per arm for an extra attack. I guess those extra attacks might also benefit from any weapon skills you have (think Cudgel - Flurry). As far as shields go, the block chance is already so high but I don't know for sure if multiple arms allow for multiple chances to block. My gut says no - see third paragraph.

I interpret it to say that only your original left arm gets the additional dual wield chance. Your other two can only proc via the Multiple Arms mutation chance.

I wouldn't mind seeing the cost bumped up to 5, but allow you to benefit from stats on those extra hands/arms. That might be too OP, though, especially in terms of the AV bonus. You do lose DV if you try to equip multiple shields/bucklers but I would not normally benefit from stats on my extra pair of hands, for example. It did glitch out sometimes and I would benefit but I was never able to do so consistently.

Bug report:  I have a rusted silver nugget.  I paid Argyve 5 drams to repair it... and it's still rusted.  It ate my money and didn't do anything.

[Strange guy]

I ran into the same problem with several items, including a ego booster I broke while trying to identify it. It still worked, though I don't know whether that was due to the repair or the broken state no longer working correctly.
