q-and-a

[fierce fulcrum]

yeah that im sure of as there really isnt a break down and without that testing would be kind of hard lol

[unkempt beacon]

After the nerf do you think rupture or weakpoint is the better skill for the default rogue dagger?

[warm violet]

depends on your enemy and playstyle. weakpoint is better for a more focused attack on someone with high armor like a barb or a fighter where rupture is better for a quick hit or two and backing off. The nerf to weakpoint is not that big because the 50% armor reduction is the real money.

[gaunt olive]

Rupture won’t get more popular until 90% of lobbies aren’t grey gear/naked. The TTK for people in grey is so low that even with the nerf WA is still very strong.

[merry kernel]

Wait so does the magic damage of a sword compound or is the benefit that it just ignors armor?

Compound as in increase due to will or

[lavish elk]

I believe that the magic damage from the crystal sword does get increased by magic damage bonuses.

[grand umbra]

The magical damage of the sword is affected by your magical damage bonus %, so yes Will increases it's damage. It also has the benefit in that your +Magical Damage/+Magical True damage applies to it's swings as well as the phys equivalents of those stats.

[merry kernel]

Oh shit I knew it

my buddy was trying to convince me it didn't increase based on magic ability

[burnt badger]

Hey what is physical healing, it's not in the faq with all the modifiers

[grand umbra]

It theoretically can be the highest damage weapon because it's much easier to roll gear that has +flat damage of both types, and possible to roll 3-4 bonus damage modifiers

[merry kernel]

too bad casting with it can be a pain

[grand umbra]

Imagine being stacked in legendary gear that has +True Phys/+Phys/+True Magic/+Magic.

[fierce heath]

whats the best barb perks/skills?

[grand umbra]

Depends on what loadout usually for perks, Skills I prefer Rage/Warcry

[fierce heath]

whats the one i see them turning red and chasing me?

[vale bobcat]

any fixes for error code 10 when trying to sell stuff?

[grand umbra]

I believe that is rage.

[frigid saddle]

How does Pickpocket work?

[grand umbra]

If you go right next to a player there is an interact to steal a single item that is not equipped.

[gaunt olive]

It needs a serious rework due to the fact if you are close enough to get a pickpocket off, you’re just going to kill them.

[frigid saddle]

Ouch that feels pretty bad

[molten locust]

What are some good wizard perks I should focus and equip?

Unlocked my first perk slot as level 5 atm

[grand umbra]

It is not a particularly good perk at the time, but perks aren't really supposed to be fully balanced this early in development. It does appeal to the class fantasy for sure though.

[old pendant]

Agreed, that skill has NO place in the game except as a meme

And it’s not even that funny because of the only unequipped restriction

[astral hazel]

are there plans for four player parties?

[lavish elk]

The FAQ says there are thoughts for it, but nothing for sure.

[torpid girder]

Isnt WA always better because of the amor reduction?

I feel like the damage is always in favor of WA

(didnt test it)

[old pendant]

I think it depends on play style

[gaunt olive]

With gear, you can get the reduction you need. It’s nice from WA but I have found more success versus geared vs geared matchups using rupture + poison stacks is a safer way to deal with those tankier foes. The dot damage and disengage is very stable

[old pendant]

And on the type of weapon used

[lavish elk]

If you're going to hit someone with a good dagger or more then once or twice with a less good dagger WA will do more damage, depends mostly on how quick you can do 20 damage with the skill.

(or a bit more if Rupture is buffed by stats)

[torpid girder]

Is rupture 20dmg per sec during 5sec or 20dmg overall?

[gaunt olive]

20per5

(Through shields and buffs)

[lavish elk]

@gaunt olive You seem to know rogue pretty well, any idea if the -3 from all damage perk of the clerics reduces rupture and poison damage?

[gaunt olive]

AFAIK poison is not affected, but rupture might be. That is something I personally haven’t tested but will when my team gets on.

[lavish elk]

Neat, haven't been able to test it myself, got curious when I got stabbed and the bleeds seemed fast.

[somber shoal]

what is physical healing?

[lavish elk]

Bandages and what not.

[somber shoal]

so if i have physical healing on an armor it increases how much healing i get?

[gaunt sparrow]

With bandages, yes. With cleric and shrine heals, no.

Potions are also magical healing.

Campfire is also physical healing I believe.

[plain root]

I think a rogue perk to use ranged weapons would be good

[gaunt sparrow]

Not sure what the ranger ability "field rations" is considered, I would guess physical. It may not be affected by either physical healing or magical healing multipliers, though, given that it's a skill.

[minor sage]

whats skull key used for

[jolly silo]

how do i link items into trade chat

[scarlet cipher]

Whats the ancient scroll do?

[plain root]

Shift click it

[wary gate]

If you body shot with a fireball does it do both the direct damage and the splash damage?

[errant oar]

Is it a % chance for a chest to be a mimic or will the same chests be a mimic every time?

[gaunt sparrow]

% chance, but some chests (or rooms) seem to have a higher percentage than others.

[errant oar]

Ok thanks

[dusk shuttle]

Is the Windlass bugged rn?

[gaunt sparrow]

I don't believe so, why do you ask?

[fierce heath]

can you walk past the zombies that are eating?

[dusk shuttle]

Whenever I reload after shooting it acts as if I hadn't if I made any movement input before the reload.

[limber ferry]

what does the spellbook/crystal ball do for the wizard

[fierce heath]

less hitbox disruption

[gaunt sparrow]

I believe for the windlass you are not allowed to move while reloading

I think that is working as intended. It may change eventually.

[fierce heath]

the staff will bump into walls

[dusk shuttle]

Hmm. I'll have to try it again at some point

[limber ferry]

is that the only benefit?

[fierce heath]

as far as i can tell

[tough dust]

agi only affects attack speed on a rogue? so still smart to stack STR?

[limber ferry]

hmm

[gaunt sparrow]

Currently the book/ball do not have any effects other than epic+ with additional stats.

[limber ferry]

okay thanks

[gaunt sparrow]

You can use them with a crystal sword, however, so you can cast with the sword (which does magic damage as well as physical)

[mild sage]

I'd suggest quick chant, its a nice all-rounder to get the spells out and is especially useful if you are going solo or duo, as you may not be able to get more then one spell out before you are in close combat otherwise. also nice to be able to quickly change to a new spell in full group combat if the situation changes, your melee fighters getting to close to the enemy for a fireball for example.
Otherwise I'd suggest either Arcane or fire mastery, depending on whether you tend to favour fireball or arcane missile in combat, for some quick extra damage.

[limber ferry]

ah okay that seems good

[gaunt sparrow]

It can be :)

[frosty arrow]

do stats in the offhand effect you?

like not second hand but the one in the second weapon slot

[gaunt sparrow]

Only when equipped.

You mean for dual-weidling?

*wielding, then yes.

[frosty arrow]

no

like having two staffs

[gaunt sparrow]

Only equipped items give you stat bonuses.

[frosty arrow]

okay

[gaunt sparrow]

You don't get the bonuses from the 2nd staff unless you equip it. Sitting in the slot (on your back) will not give you the bonuses.

[glacial sand]

how do i play barbarian with no gear basically?

[whole sluice]

Probably better asked in general/discussion tbh. Might get more people to help contribute ideas/strategy

How else can you get the golden key aside from getting it from the Champion in the center?

[fleet ingot]

where can i report someone for scamming a roll item, they said they would roll? so other grps can be careful for them // they took item and left grp with their duo

[whole sluice]

Thats the only way. 10% drop from the captain

[tame willow]

ah ok

[whole sluice]

Don't think there is a place for that tbh. #report-wicked-mod-only is more for cheaters and not really for people not honoring something said

[fleet ingot]

ahh ok cause its the cleric that wants to try and cheat the lich kill leaderboard, hes with a duo and i guess gonna tell others to force give him kill for leaderboard lol playtest ends in 2 days so he got mad /// he only has 12 lich kills like not a big deal, 2nd guy has only 9 kills on lich

[rancid rampart]

@abstract basalts can you make npc weapons have collision also, i'm kinda sick of dying from swords and wraith weapons going through walls, doors and bars

[whole sluice]

has anyone tried the creep perk on rogue? feels like it doesnt lower the sound enough making it useless

[maiden delta]

does 5 true magic damage on weapon work for flat weapon dmg? or is it spells

[plain root]

Best rogue perk is fr33 picks

[whole sluice]

Your own sounds always sound louder than what others perceive. That being said, it's so so. Lightfoot boots are quiet enough

[honest wasp]

What does Spell Memory stat do

[whole sluice]

Let you cast spells

[honest wasp]

no its a stat

[real folio]

@plain root agreed just unsure on which other ones to use

[whole sluice]

You mean spell capacity?

[honest wasp]

yes

[whole sluice]

That doesn't do anything currently in this build

[honest wasp]

ok what about Knowledge?

[whole sluice]

Spell Casting Speed Interaction Speed (Magical)

[warm violet]

gives cast speed and magical interaction speed

[honest wasp]

how do you see this stuff

[warm violet]

honestly just equipping items and looking at my stats changes

[whole sluice]

#❓faq or Fopdoodle button on the menu, or just check your character sheet when changing them

[maiden delta]

does true magic dmg effect flat dmg from a weapon like a sword

[warm violet]

true magic damage adds resistance bypassing magic damage to spells, the crystal sword, and possibly the rogue Rupture passive but thats it

[plain root]

I just take my boots off when I wanna be sneaky

[whole sluice]

To be fair, naked footsteps are louder than most shoes

And I like the one that gives me 10 steps in stealth

[sly mica]

is there a way to start in 2nd dungeon?

[whole sluice]

To be fair, you start on the second floor of 3 in this playtest. If you mean the bottom (3rd) floor, no

[sly mica]

oh okay so normally there another floor up

[sly mica]

just saw someone saying about starting on second floor , thanks for clarification

[whole sluice]

No worries 🙂

[coarse bronze]

is judgement a 20% slow? or only if they have ms buffs their buffs are 20% less effective? its worded weird

[summer forge]

what does crystal ball do?

[mystic smelt]

Offhand weapon for wizard. Think it allows casting like spell book but for dual weapon wizards

[sacred canopy]

do you still have to play minigame if you have lockpicks? do you lose lockpicks if you fail?

[whole sluice]

Yes and yes

[sacred canopy]

well crap

i hope minigame gets nerfed at least

[tidal ravine]

what is the difference between crystal ball, staff and spell book?

[whole sluice]

The differences between the various magical casting items and weapons are this: They differ in movement speed penalties, utility, and casting animations (Not speed). Each have specific uses. For instance, the crystal sword is great if you want to be a battle mage and cast spells while also bonking people on the head. The staff is terrible for halls because it has wide casting animations, but also lets you bonk slightly stronger than sword. And some don't let you bonk but only cast spells.

What do you do with "failed {result code:10]

[somber cradle]

Yea; every time so far he's wiped my group; but we are Uber noobs

[unborn mica]

how to fix

[grand umbra]

Just strafe left while hugging him, he whiffs all attacks.

[somber cradle]

That seems to be a strat for a lot of enemies

[grand umbra]

That's sort of the nature of the combo that is incredibly precise hitboxes, and no move speed minus for strafe.

[somber cradle]

What's the fighters base HP pool and why does he feel Uber squishy vs the barb?

[whole sluice]

100

[cyan slate]

what armor are ya wearin?

[somber cradle]

I just mean base gear

I'm sure he's a beast when geared

[cyan slate]

fighters are wrapped in tissue paper on a fresh spawn.

[molten locust]

What does a spellbook do?

[cyan slate]

like the soft part on the top of a newborn's head xD.

[molten locust]

Increased damage or something?

[grand umbra]

A barb with a blue+ weapon will typically be doing at least 120 on headshot before mitigation.

[oak galleon]

just had to read lol

[autumn fractal]

So what’s best weapon for wizards?

[somber cradle]

Wdym migration? Sans armor?

How does armor rating affect incoming damage?

[molten locust]

What does a spellbook do? Compared to the base rotten wand

[grand umbra]

Yes, before the physical damage reduction that is provided by armor/items/perks.

[somber cradle]

How's that calculated?

[grand umbra]

In stash/inventory, you can see in the open details tab of your stats the numbers. It's just Incoming damage reduced by %, except in the case of something like the Clerics -3 flat damage perk.

[somber cradle]

I see. Cleric is the only class I haven't played. Which class is the most solo noob friendly?

I like barbarian a lot, but most parties have at least one ranged attack and I'm inevitably screwed when I encounter them

[grand umbra]

They all have their own upsides and downsides in terms of casting implements. The Staff has melee good damage/range but will often fail casts because it will hit walls during casting animation. The spellbook is very good at not failing animations, but takes both hands. The orb allows you to have a main-hand dagger to not have to deal with swaps, and the Crystal sword has a bit of a clunky animation like the staff, but does half it's melee damage as magic damage, and therefor can benefit from your +magic damage gear you likely would be wearing.

[grand umbra]

Rogue and ranger are probably the most friendly. High dex/resourcefulness means quick opening of doors/chests. They both have perks that help them avoid enemy parties.

[autumn fractal]

Thank you @grand umbra

[round void]

does arcane mastery only affect magic missile? or fireball too?

[vapid frost]

one major question I have, Do clerics get XP from healing and casting spells? Or is it only for looting, escape and kills?

[lavish elk]

No XP from healing

As far as I've heard.

[vapid frost]

hmm, I feel like that should be worked in since Clerics are more of a support and that is what they spend most of their time doing.

[lavish elk]

Just gotta murk all the NPCs.

And convince your team to go to B3.

[whole sluice]

Use your undead AoE on skullbat rooms

Not perfect, but helps

Also get tot he bottom floor

Living or not you get a good chunk for just getting down there

[warm furnace]

What do you mean by bottom floor

[whole sluice]

Take red portals

[tacit bear]

taking a down portal probably

[warm furnace]

I see, havent had much luck with loot on that floor thh

Tbh

Never even seen another play down there lol

[whole sluice]

More for the xp

Just getting down there is a nice chunk

[warm furnace]

Explains things a bit lol

[warm violet]

most players just dont have the gear or the meds for that floor, but ive been down there with 9 people before was crazy

[round void]

does arcane mastery only affect magic missile? or fireball too?

[errant oar]

does move speed such as "Move Speed -20" mean it will slow me down that much while in my inventory, or it will slow me down that much while holding it?

So i can fill my inventory and have the same move speed?

So this game isnt like cycle thank gooooooooood

[lunar shoal]

What do the different "Tiers" of spellbook do? (White name, blue name, ect...)

[lunar shoal]

ahh alright, thank you!

do enemies detect you no matter what when you are close enough to them or can you actually go past them with stealth (no light, walk slow, not wearing boots, etc)? 🤔

Is it possible to kill the white ghost, In the hell floor?

Okay thank you ❤️

[languid harbor]

is the white ghost the lich or the king?

[undone wigeon]

can i buy stacks of bandages or do i have to buy 1 and 1 ?

[languid harbor]

its 1 at a time but they stack to 3

[dim pagoda]

then not exactly sure how am I supposed to evade other players... it seems to me that most of the time that means going into rooms with AI enemies so I get spotted anyway 😅

[languid harbor]

turn off the lights and become one with the darkness

[quaint gazelle]

I would assume king? it's the guy who has the big lava golem inside with him, That blows up the ground

[midnight moat]

So um, I guess this question might have been answered a tons already. But does the bow dmg scales with stats ? Does STR applies to the physical dmg they do ?

[languid harbor]

yeah i made it to the hell boss once and got rekted

[whole sluice]

Str applies to ALL weapons since all do physical damage (Except Crystal sword that does both phys and magical)

ah thanks mang i was racking my brain trying to figure it out

[quiet ginkgo]

What button is kill?

[sturdy cosmos]

what does true magic damage do? is it only applicable for wizards and clerics?

[whole sluice]

True anything just means it bypasses all resistances/armor. Only effects items/spells that have that as a base

[sturdy cosmos]

so plus 2 true magic damage for a rapier would not affect it?

[whole sluice]

Correct

[sturdy cosmos]

what if i use poison perk that applies magic damage

[whole sluice]

I believe poison is phys, but I haven't been able too test dummy because insta lobbies

[sturdy cosmos]

it says in its description magic but im not sure.. hypothetically if it is applying magic damage. would the true magic damage buff go over to it?

[peak bluff]

Poison is magic

[hearty coral]

what physical healing means ?=

[whole sluice]

If it is magic based yes

[hearty coral]

Do I have to hit my friends in order to heal ? lmao

Does a blue spell book give your spells more damage than a white one?

[cloud kiln]

there is any chance that there is going to be perks for the other weapons (like ranger having perks for crossbows)

[whole sluice]

No

[whole sluice]

Most likely, the game is still REALLY early in development

[peak bluff]

The spell books currently don't' have any differences besides the purple one having stats attached to it.

[silver field]

is that the same for all casting implements?

[glad quarry]

I read that + true magic damage wont apply to regular weapon attacks, but what about +additional magic damage?

[whole sluice]

Except crystal swords, yes

so my longbow is going to do a bunch of extra magic damage, cool.

[cloud kiln]

ik, just wandering if we could get a estimated time

[whole sluice]

10 months into development

Release Q4 next year

[whole sluice]

Magic damage doesn't work on anything except crystal sword. Needs base magic damage for it to add more

[glad quarry]

oh, i see

However

I'm only 90% confident. I can never test shit at the dummy. Lobbies start too fast 😢

anyone know how to xp works? like can i go in and loot a hole buncha shit and the more mobs and players i kill the more i get?

[whole sluice]

XP is earned by doing pretty much anything. Killing players, killing AI, opening chests/corpses/portals, escaping, taking a down portal. The largest chunk of xp is going down to the bottom floor followed by escaping.

[whole sluice]

Same

When I was doing the wiki/database stuff for stats I had half my stash full of + different stat gear

Just to measure what does what at what thresholds

Extra stash tabs in the works

can you block their attacks with a shield?

[marble magnet]

How do I do more damage with spells?

[lavish elk]

Swing, lunge and I think bigger lunge? Maybe just swing and kunge

[whole sluice]

Will + magic damage

[fierce heath]

So you just side step him? or can you block it for 0 dmg?

[whole sluice]

Side step is generally ewaiser/safer unless you have really bad movespeed

[rigid copper]

Definetily swing and lunge

[lavish elk]

You can block the swing for sure, but its a pain.

[whole sluice]

Agreed

[fierce heath]

aim up or down or mid?

[lavish elk]

I think the lunge just whacks you.

[whole sluice]

But his 'lunge' phases through most of the time

[lavish elk]

I couldn't tell you with consistency. Wherever the attack is plus some extra is the general idea.

are gems only for selling?

[whole sluice]

Yup

[shut sundial]

What does Skull Key do?

[whole sluice]

Opens skull door on B3

[haughty perch]

is there a difference between physical power and physical damage

and do they just add to my weapon dmg essentially

[faint void]

wizard need a buff XD been maining him for a while and archer seems better than I'm in every way from offence to support maybe he has a little bit better defense but not much

[whole sluice]

Yes, one is a flat increase and the other is a % increase

[haughty perch]

i have both that arent % tho

[whole sluice]

To be fair, not saying they do/don't need changes, but a good deal of people play the wizard like a ranger and expect similar results

Wizard is much more support than DPS like ranger

[haughty perch]

i have +4 physical power and +4 physical dmg

[main pike]

Wizard Haste / Invis just so good as support

[haughty perch]

so its the same thing just named differently?

[whole sluice]

Physical power adds to your Physical power % score on your sheet. Thats the % modifier. The other is flat damage

[haughty perch]

oh

[faint void]

true i have been playing him solo up till now too

[haughty perch]

which is technically better

[whole sluice]

Depends, large damage weapons tend to want Phys power, quick want flat

[whole sluice]

yeah, they are hard to figure out solo. Invis + Haste is your mainstay and knowing when to book and when to not

[haughty perch]

ok Madcow i have a question then if you dont mind

[whole sluice]

Sure

[haughty perch]

can i dm you

[grand umbra]

I suspect the difference between +weapon damage and +physical damage is that the weapon damage is multiplied by your physical power multiplier, but the "flat" phys is not. Has anyone confirmed this?

[whole sluice]

I think it is all added before the multiplier tbh

[whole sluice]

Sure

[lone sierra]

What is the difference in the circles in the Lich fight? Purple = stack, blue = dont stack?

[haughty perch]

Pm'd

[whole sluice]

Blue and purple are the same, red is don't stack

[grand umbra]

It might just be an extra damage increase roll only available to weapons to be fair.

[whole sluice]

The blue 'orb' is what you drag into minions

[lone sierra]

Yeah we got a blue circle around us, all stacked and then died

[velvet sphinx]

u stack for purple

move away for blue

[austere cape]

i thought you stacked for blue too?

[lone sierra]

Thank you!

[grand umbra]

I feel that one of the blue/purple hurts much more then the other. Is it perhaps the blue is the same damage to all in the range, and purp is shared then?

[whole sluice]

Unless they changed the 'red' aura to a 'blue' aura, purple is the one you stack

[grand umbra]

There is a Red, blue, and purple. The red just kills the player if you walk into range.

[whole sluice]

That being said, this is based from last playtest, my group isn't doing boss testing so you can try hitting a discussion channel to verify

Yeah red is basically a bomb

Stay away

[grand umbra]

But I've felt in the same fight, the blue and purple did significantly different damage values with same players

Obviously hard to look at numbers to confirm though.

[whole sluice]

There may be a new mechanic that I don't know about then

If you find out please let me know

I haven't screwed around with them enough this test 🙂

[peak bluff]

Blue you single soak
Purple you group soak

[whole sluice]

Good to know. I'm glad they are adding more mechanics to him thoughj

[peak bluff]

Did the boss 3-4 times today, looks like its %max hp damage

[whole sluice]

Yeah that sounds about right

And then it restores it over time, correct like previously?

[peak bluff]

Purple will evenly spread the damage evenly
Blue will do about 50% to each person hit

Wdym restores?

[whole sluice]

In the last two playtests after the aoe purple aura hits everyone their HP gets restored right after

Over time of course

[peak bluff]

Our hp did not get restored

[grand umbra]

I've not seen that at all

[whole sluice]

Hmmm I wonder if they changed that to

I think I saw someone's clip show that it was working that way

But I'd have to go through and find it

[peak bluff]

I can upload one of our boss runs if youd like to watch it

[whole sluice]

Sure

I'd like to see the new mechanics

[real ledge]

For rogue backstab is 30% physical bonus damage 30% more base damage or?

[whole sluice]

After all your base damage is totaled, 30% on top of that

[swift locust]

Sorry

Didnt mean to reply

How do you clear the ghost kings slow Debuff?

[peak bluff]

I don't think you can

[white marsh]

how do u beat him i dont understand

we shoot both lava boiis with ranger bow

[lone sierra]

KEK

[white marsh]

its just us 3 vs ghost man

[swift locust]

Im in a group with 2 others in almost full purples and were getting just blasted

[peak bluff]

Well when we first walked in we killed both lava guys, once we did that we started hitting boss. Don't stop moving. We did it with 2 rangers and a cleric.

He will teleport to a player; you are able to dodge this damage if you have enough agility.

There's also the mechanic where he will jump into the air, you want to jump before he hits the ground to avoid damage. This was like 50/50 on whether we were able to negate the damage

The last mechanic is the stun, we were able to avoid this mechanic after we killed it once. He will stun a player and will slowly kill the player, just have your cleric spam heals on him.

[real ledge]

Does rogue Ambush work for invis pots too?

[peak bluff]

Yes

[whole sluice]

Yes, I was finally able to test it, 100 works with them. I would assume the same with wiz. invis, but I don't have a wiz friend to test and getting tot he dummy with invis potion itself took WAYYYYY too many rounds 😄

[peak bluff]

@whole sluice this was our scuffed lich kill
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7peOU7g0Oq8

I can hop on my level 1 wizard and test it with you really quick if youd like

[white marsh]

i thought for blue you dont stack

and you wont die

[peak bluff]

You don't stack blue

You stack purple

he died because he got hit by its skill shot as well

if you watch it slow motion, he got hit by the purple bolt + the blue circle

[lone sierra]

Yeah just saw that

He got sniped

By the bolt

[whole sluice]

Look at 1:19-1:20 You see how you regain like 1 or 2 hp at atick. Fel also got it

I'm pretty sure it's still in, it's just not super noticable

More so because you have a cleric and heal it

[peak bluff]

I had a pot rolling

[whole sluice]

Before that, but also look at Fel

He had the same tick

[peak bluff]

oh this was pre pot

[whole sluice]

Yup

[whole sluice]

I'm supposed to be in bed 😄 Maybe tomorrow?

[peak bluff]

That's interesting I didn't even notice

Yeah just message me whenever

[whole sluice]

Yeah, it's minor, don't know if it changed, but I felt like it ramped up quickly over time. I think it's to make it so you aren't forced to have a cleric or tons of high level healing items

But... I dunno

[peak bluff]

Yeah, that would make sense

Did the other boss have anything like that as well?

[whole sluice]

Oh well, haven't done boss testing this time so not sure all the nuances that changed etc...

Dunno, haven't tried bossing this time around

We're busy working on wiki and database stuff this time around

[peak bluff]

Oh nice

If there's anything you want me to test lmk

[whole sluice]

For sure

I think we got most of the stuff we wanted. If we REALLY wanted to get special credit, I'd love to know the exact XP formula as well as monster HP/Damage for both regular and their elite versions that are in

But honestly, I spent enough time with spreadsheets so far, just might dink around playing for funsies

Anyways, I'm out tonight. Have good runs in the Dark!

[late zinc]

@digital quiver We need an mmr system for yolorage in full legendary. where he can fight with people like him

[robust tapir]

is there any way to tell the "item level" of my character? a scoring based on how good the gear you have equip is (it might be useful when recruiting people)

[warm plume]

i'd recruit based on skill, not on what items they are wearing, that seems like a tool for trolls tbh. only allowing high item level players and ganking them at the start

[sturdy cosmos]

Also trading system or market is very cool but could have filtering or maybe class set guilds to join for specific gear and discussion

[wide jungle]

Will they be wiping inventory/stash after the end of the test?

[crude fog]

MMR is good, but it seems to me it may well wait until EA or even release. bugfix, balance and stats implementation are much more important now.

[crude fog]

Yes, and the chars too

[somber shoal]

whats the difference between the crystal balls and staffs and spellbooks

[random lynx]

Anyone know what resourceful stat does?

[full storm]

does de-aggroing the lich regen his hp ?

[full storm]

spellbooks gives the most move speed but you cant melee stuff
crystal balls let you equp a dagger on the other hand
staff is two handed that lets you hit stuff
and crystal sword is thrash xD

[candid imp]

Yes

[full storm]

ty i'm thinking a way to solo him

[wary gate]

I bought a purple crystal sword with +4 phys and +4 magic damage on it and tried to melee fight a starter geared fighter and lost. It is literally impossible to use that weapon effectively.

[full storm]

you also get -30 move speed and longer casting animation

[terse hazel]

You got to remember he has better armor and a heal ability and that this isn't the discussion chat

[wary gate]

The only redeeming quality I can think of is that it maybe scales well if you already have +magic damage stats on the rest of your gear? Either way yeah probably safe to say it's trash for now.

[deft bluff]

How exactly does pickpocket work?

[mystic smelt]

you just walk up and press F on them to take a random item from their inventory

[gaunt olive]

If you have it equipped you can approach an enemy player in a match if you are within touching distance. A prompt will come up where you can 'pickpocket' them. You will then 'steal' one item from their non-equipped backpack. If they have nothing to steal it will let you know

[polar yoke]

pickpocket them in the tavern as practise

[deft bluff]

So does it require stealth or anything? I imagine most enemies aren't going to let you get within fondling distance

[lavish elk]

It doesn't need stealth the skill but it does need stealth, yeah.

[inner field]

How invisible is the rouges invisibility for other players?

[lavish elk]

Complete aside from an initial shadow image thing.

Sit on a damn torch if you want, no one is seeing you.

[inner field]

THats odd, since i heard someone break the door. Immediatly stealthed, and a berserker turned the corner, buffed up and put a nice crack in my head

[lavish elk]

Did they have a ranger in the party do you know?

[vale bobcat]

any solution to error code 10 on traders

[lavish elk]

Don't have pouches in character inventory is one thing I've heard.

[pearl hinge]

where can i use the golden key?

[main pike]

As far as leveling your class per game what gives the most XP. Is it just if you survivte / exit or does each mob have XP on it? Just trying find out best way to grind a rogue since they suck w/out perks

[wraith birch]

wtf does pickpocket do in game like how do u use it

[wary gate]

Yeah again you do leave a like 1 second fading shadow behind so if they ran right through the door after you stealthed then probably saw that. Otherwise could have just been a guess, I randomly melee a lot in case of rogues.

[lavish elk]

I murder as many NPCs as I can, nets a good amount even if you die, going to B3 and escaping us good too.

[lavish elk]

Particularly if I hear some random noise nearby.

[main pike]

@lavish elk Neat I'll have to check it out. Last time I checked out B2 the portals spawned on the fire / ice dude room and was sketchy to escape. IDK what B3 looks like 😛

[willow fog]

does the fighters duel wield perk affect two handed weapons?

[lavish elk]

The floor you spawn on is B2, the next down is B3.

B1 is yet unmade.

[main pike]

Oh neat TIL thanks

[lavish elk]

And yeah that's an occasional bug with the second boss that can happen.

Oh, wait no I thought you meant spawned on the boss.

[bright stag]

Smorc main here, thats what we do sorry. You filthy little sneakers absolutely stink and we will smash through doors and smash you out of your corner without remorse. Try not to be so obvious where you stealth, you may be invisible but I still have a working brain, you all stealth within a 2 second walk from doorways so why would we not swing our massive weapons around in the hall for a meter or 2?

[lavish elk]

Yeah, the portals sometimes show up in boss room.

[main pike]

@lavish elk Wait we start on B2 is that why mobs seem so overtuned for new chars with no gear? B1 been teased at all or is it being added cause of feedback about mobs to strong on B2?

[lavish elk]

B1 isn't made yet, but its on purpose yeah.

And yeah that's why basic gear seems so lacluster into PvE

[raven ginkgo]

anywhere I can get a guide that shows how +true magic differs from +magic power etc?

[lavish elk]

True damage is just that, otherwise ipen your character sheet in match to see your stats.

I'm really hoping for an offline testing range.

[raven ginkgo]

so is it adding to your weapon on hit? also would magic power benefit the rogue perk that does magic dmg?

[lavish elk]

Fairly certain, and no idea

[placid oracle]

how does cleric revive work

[sharp ermine]

What do each of the shrines do exactly, when I mouse over the buff it doesn't tell me

[placid oracle]

do you need team mates soul, also does being in the swarm area cancel out the revive

[lavish elk]

Don't take the soul out of the body.

Completely stops you from using the spell.

Just cast ut look at their corpse

[devout raptor]

Anyone know how to do the riposte attack on the longsword? If you have one equiped and look at the details page, you can see two lines for riposte attack

[wary gate]

Hold right click to block, if you successfully block and attack immediately right click again and it will do an attack.

[devout raptor]

Like, I need to release the block button and just hit it again?

[wary gate]

Yeah, really fast though.

[desert remnant]

can someone explain the lich's mechanics to me?
i know theres a homing orb that one shots, he summons adds and that he does some other ranged attack, but what is the purple circle?

[robust tapir]

what's physical healing? is it bandages and campfire?

[sand sparrow]

Does standing on the white dot at the end of the match no long takes you to hell?

[timber tide]

Is there any bonus for dual-wielding?

[sand sparrow]

cow when to bed, i'll just ask later

[sand yew]

Purple Aura deals a lot of total damage, but it's shared among those within it - stack on it.
Blue Aura seem to be the opposite - spread from it.

Based on observations from our successful kills

[desert remnant]

does it last forever after the fight, or is it only cosmetic?

videos ive seen it lasts till extract

as in cosmetic bug i mean

[sand yew]

🤔 It's a boss fight mechanic, so should be just for the duration of the fight. Lich has a lot of bugs though.

[desert remnant]

yeah, thats fair. doesnt matter too much if its only 1, and with a cleric anyways. didnt seem like it was bothering them too much anyways

thanks for the help!

[orchid crescent]

does lich do magic damage?

[desert remnant]

i dont see why the lich's damage would be physical. the skeletons would be purely physical though

[timber tide]

Does anyone know if Dual-wielding has any bonuses for holding 2 weapons simultaneously?

It feels like I'm just using two weapons at the same time and it makes me move slower for no benefit

Is there the standard DnD 15% attack speed boost or w/e?

[desert remnant]

you can swing faster, with two different angles.

[devout raptor]

protip for dualwielding. Hold both mouse buttons

Left click and then right click and hold both for the full combo

[timber tide]

Ahhh that's the kind of information Im' looking for Spardis, thank you

[wary gate]

I didn't know you could hold both but yeah you can also click left or right immediately after doing the other to mix up your swing pattern.

[devout raptor]

horsemans axe + hatchet is pretty gross for the head bonks

[lavish elk]

You also get the stat bonus from purple+ weapons when holding both I believe. Otherwise its most for the extra chained attacks.

[dapper herald]

difference in magical interaction / casting speed?

[unkempt beacon]

trying to sell and i keep getting failed result code 10. Any known fixes? tried restarting

[dapper herald]

remove your gold purse in your inventory before selling

[unkempt beacon]

Worked Thanks

[devout crow]

Magical interaction is apparently for things like opening portal etc, but according to sages, they dont seem to work atm

[devout raptor]

I've been running with the longsword for the most part. Been super fun so far. And, since I'm running around in mostly oranges and purples at this point, I feel I can get away with practicing the parry+parry attack

[lavish elk]

I'm really hoping merchants end up selling the crappiest options of all the weapons so I feel can feel good practicing things like the longsword.

[dapper herald]

ohh thank you

[dapper herald]

magical power / magical damage difference?

[mighty dome]

whats the point of using two daggers as a rogue?

[crude lantern]

faster stabs, better combo etc

the weapons you use dictate how you're going to hit your enemy

[mighty dome]

it doesnt feel faster spamming left click and right click then it does with just one dagger

[desert remnant]

do you hold both buttons donw?

because you dont need to click for each attack

[mighty dome]

also did they change something with monster attacks? monster just killed me with a sword swing through a closed door, do their weapons not bounce off surfaces like ours do anymore?

[desert remnant]

expect bugs

[mighty dome]

it wasnt taht way day before yesterday

[brisk seal]

expect bugs

[slender hearth]

So I found some orange candy
It says jack o'lantern would be interested
But I can't it to him

is it for a quest, for a future update?

[desert remnant]

its the currency for the shop./

[mighty dome]

sorry so i just got two daggers now, im holding both mouse button, i swung with seconday once and then the rest of the auto attacks seem to be just primary

am i doing something wrong?

[brazen marlin]

What does savage roar do, the barbarian ability?

[still moat]

hiw do you parry? do you hold block and swing when they hit you? do you block right before they hi lt you?

[thick timber]

Is there no ingame chat?

[grand umbra]

There is not.

[tribal garden]

i was wonder the same thing

[grand umbra]

Outside the trade channels I suppose, but I believe you were referring to mid-delve.

[bold urchin]

why tf can skeletons get so close to you that the attack spawns inside your body and cant be blocked? like why is that a thing?

[robust niche]

Does everything reset after the playtest?

[grim palm]

If you're dying to one on one skeles you got bigger problems and it's not the games fault

[soft oar]

Yes

[robust niche]

thank you

[soft oar]

Np

[signal crown]

is there any strategy to cross floor spikes without taking damage except to be fast enough to completely jump over

[zinc flare]

What does Phyiscal power bouns do?

[desert remnant]

you can stagger enemies.

[grim palm]

Enemies can be staggered and you need to be careful with positioning

[desert remnant]

hit them in the head.

[zinc flare]

Physical power helps with staggering enemies?

[desert remnant]

no

[molten locust]

What does knowledge do? Like what does it affect

[astral wagon]

will our inventory in the match (our kit) get wiped? because i was in match with good stuff

[odd warren]

Just installed the game and played a bit. Im suffering a lot. I can't survive 5 min. Any tip? Started with the rogue and it seems the dagger it's so shit. Next with the fighter, and a bit better, but still suffering a lot

:/

[marsh gazelle]

rogue seems like a hard class to start

[ornate orbit]

OH THIS IS THE QUESTION ROOM! will we be able to keep items that we earned in our storages? and what about our levels? if anything u can @ or DM me :)

[marsh gazelle]

maybe you should try a fighter to get comfortable with the game

[odd warren]

i was playing it with no sucess either

I don't like much the pressure of the circle BR mechanic tho, all players will end in the middle and most players i run to are duos or trios. The spawns a a bit weird, spawning near to other players

[halcyon mauve]

i was always missing solo queue in this type of games gotta say

[wet portal]

Try going with the ranger for a few rounds. Just to get a feel - has the most forgiving PVE, a self heal and a campfire by default. When you hear other players set your trap and remain quite. Melee PVE is simple but unforgiving: Hit, walk backwards to dodge, repeat.

[marsh gazelle]

same for me , i don't really like the BR mechanics but you can get used to it

[signal crown]

success as a solo will always be difficult, try to get anything out the exit and then buy a few low level potions for your next runs for any survivability

usually the blue exits are near the middle of the map and they spawn after 5 or so minutes

most things are dodged by running backwards a bit, and you can run backwards faster by fully turning around

[grand umbra]

Generally when a server crashes you'll have the same loadout you went in with, as if the match didn't happen.

[grand umbra]

No, everything will be wiped between playtests.

[signal bobcat]

is there any way to make keys toggle or no

[grand umbra]

They've stated they were working on various keybinding and options like toggle vs hold, but I don't believe that one is specifically yet implemented.

[signal bobcat]

thanks homie 👍

[ornate orbit]

:''') oh the misery

[viral star]

Anywhere i can find a list of mobs and there names?

[mighty dome]

Anyone know?

[daring spindle]

Annyone know what the Litch projectile size fix is?

[burnt badger]

Quick question, what does the crystal ball do for you as a wizard?

[brisk seal]

Lets you cast while carrying a knife

[hardy copper]

how magic missiles only sometime trace target?

[covert tusk]

How do i use Gold Coin Purse?

Ive got 200 of them and i have no idea how to sell or what to do with them

[wide iris]

You just drag gold into them

[covert tusk]

Yea then it shows error 10

[wide iris]

Sounds like a bug. Should work!

[covert tusk]

i mean if i try to sell it

idk ive never had this item and just received it via trading

[wide iris]

Its just to tidy up storage

Anyone know how Cleric revive works? I tried to cast the spell on my dead ally and nothing happened.

[odd warren]

the stash it's individual to any character?

[grand umbra]

Yes, stash is character specific

[quiet patio]

@wide iris cast it on them like normal, make sure you're somewhat close by and do not move what so ever once it begins

It will take a little bit of time to complete and show a bar to either cancel or view progress

[grand umbra]

It has a pretty obvious sound and animation now.

[robust tapir]

How do you kill the blanket boss? I'm unable to understand the mechanics it has

[sturdy crest]

How can i get out of the raid successful? I tried solo, in group. My stash is always empty because 1:30 raids is successful. I played alot of hunt showdown and tarkov. Shouldnt be that i hard or am i wrong ?

Started yesterday and it feels like everybody outgears you, to the point that you dont even have heals

[quiet patio]

What class are you?

[maiden talon]

is there a way to play in solo only lobbys ?

[quiet patio]

No

[slender hearth]

Let's say I start game 1 with newbie gear
I find some blue boots, and manage to escape through blue portal
Then I die during game 2
Do I start game 3 back with newbie gear?

[quiet patio]

Yes

[grand umbra]

Wraith King applies a stacking slow on the player it's aggroed on. Step one is to kill the Lava golems so you don't just die to their AoE attacks due to said slow. Then it's mostly just don't be too tight of a group for when it teleports to a player and does damage in an AoE around it, and to jump when it starts to fall from up high as it yells.

[slender hearth]

ok
good then,, it's more fair for new players

[sturdy crest]

Rogue/ Ranger/ Fighter

Tried all of them.

[quiet patio]

If you're going to play solo mostly, stick with Rogue or Fighter, Rogue's are sneaky and easy to escape with and Fighters have an easier time with tough situations.

[sturdy crest]

But with starter gear you will suck at pve

[quiet patio]

Try and avoid fights too until you learn a bit more about the game and just collect enough money naturally from loot to get bandages, it becomes a lot easier when you aren't constantly 20% HP.

[robust tapir]

Much appreciated! We were doing it earlier with a very nicely equipped Fighter and he said everything went black and half his HP was gone in a second. Is that the teleport-to mechanic?

[sturdy crest]

1 skeleton 20 seconds loud combat atleast

[stray cairn]

Aim for the head, starter gear on a fighter doesn't take that many hits against a majority of mobs

[quiet patio]

It takes practice but with a Rogue using Rupture and Weakpoint you can kill generic skeletons with around 5-6 headshots. Jump backwards after you notice them nearing a swing and you can learn to time it a little bit. I'd steer away from fighting anything range unless you are either with a team or playing a ranger yourself.

[tranquil crystal]

Someone knows if in the future the stash would be shared between characters of the same account??

[sturdy crest]

Okay, thx.

[quiet patio]

Np, skills make everything easier too. If you can get level 15 on a character the skills will improve your gameplay drastically.

[molten locust]

What is a good level 15 wizard build?

for example I got Mana surge,Quick chant,Fire mastery and Sage for perks

Meditation and Spell memory for skills

[noble harbor]

how does the wizard meditation work? It states "40 spell points" but seems to return very few spells

[robust tapir]

My advice for new players is to always play in party (try to bring at least one class that has a shield), always prepare yourself before entering the dungeon (buy badges and campfires, as campfires can recharge abilities that have limited uses), understand your role in the fight and adapt as the fight goes on. At early stages try to loot the most you can (specially try to replace the starting gear as it's very bad), most classes can destroy jars and wooden boxes, while rogue can open chest very fast (delegate roles to looting and clearing) and call out for items others may need. Be aware of positioning and engaging, you want the enemy to play in the unsafe side and be unprepared for your attack (buff yourselves and don't blindly rush). Consider doing the Pois with a rouge as they drop nicer items

[grand umbra]

Each spell has a different value of "spell points" that refresh a charge. When you meditate, it restores those spell points to each spell. So if you cast one of each and meditate, you're going to get more over all "casts" back compared to just depleting just your Fireballs and meditating.

[molten locust]

What is the advantage of a crystal ball?

Theres no wiki afaik, so I just keep asking questions here as the ingame documentation is very narrow

[grand umbra]

A few of the sages have been working on compiling info for some form of public documentation, but nothing has yet come of it outside of various posts in this discord.

[robust tapir]

Oh, on that topic... is there any benefit in using rouge cloth headwear over the leather one? The leather one has better base stats (perhaps it has something to do with the possible rolls?)

[strong breach]

cast speed is the same but im pretty sure the cast animation is better

[wide iris]

Weird. I was like on top of my ally, just fizzled out.

[coarse bronze]

When you cast spells with the staff if you bang a wall or an object the spell is consumed and failed

[quiet patio]

Should cast like all the other healing spells, Just be sure you're not moving at all. Don't stand directly on them or you might hit the floor or wall.

[untold wadi]

Does the crossbow scale with STR like the other physical dmg weapons?

[grand umbra]

All casting implements will cancel the spell if they collide with something, but crystal ball/spellbook have a very small area that they will collide.

[grand umbra]

STR adds bonus physical power, which does apply to all weapons.

[woeful kiln]

Tmk it does. I know it does not scale off of agility at least

[untold wadi]

Okay, would be cool if it doesn't for realism purposes.

[woeful kiln]

?

[pliant stone]

what does ancient scroll cracked do?

[wide iris]

Thanks all. Lot going on probably just missed I guess 😄

[grand umbra]

It's just a loot item to sell to collector.

[fading lion]

when can you dual wield as a rogue?

[grand umbra]

Specific weapons are secondary rather then primary weapons.

[ashen shuttle]

whgats the point of offhanding weapons?

[stray cairn]

dual wield

[ashen shuttle]

ik but why?

does it swing faster?

more damage?

ik fighter has a perk for higher damage

[stray cairn]

Well just depends on the weapon but yes more often than not it will be faster

Different weapons based on sizes and swings are faster or slower

[ashen shuttle]

just hold left click then?

[stray cairn]

Well if your dual wielding you'll right click for the off hand

Left for primary

[ashen shuttle]

so spam both?

[grand umbra]

I haven't personally messed with it much, but apparently you can cancel one weapon into the other weapon swing for a overall faster attack speed then simply attacking with one on it's own.

[willow fog]

you can cancel the rapier stab recovery animation by attacking again halfway through the recovery. stupid fast stabs.

[visual dagger]

Just a sellable thing for gold

[analog topaz]

Can somebody do a test for me? Can somebody go into game and test to see if you can jump and immediately swap weapons to cancel some of the slow movement you get from swapping weapons

I was doing it the other day and I couldn’t figure out if it was faster or not but it felt like it was

[sick heron]

does the fighter perk dual wield applys to bows

[visual dagger]

No it applies to primary and offhand

Dual wielding weapons

[sick heron]

ok

[crude lantern]

Where can I report someone with a racist name?

[grand umbra]

#report-wicked-mod-only

[crude lantern]

but that is for hackers only

[visual dagger]

u can report it all there

[crude lantern]

done, thanks

[stray cairn]

How would you reload if you had 2 bows?

[thick timber]

"Increases AR acquired from armor by 10%" WHAT IS AR?

[visual dagger]

AR = armor

[thick timber]

ty

[visual dagger]

no problem 🙂

[whole sluice]

Ok, I'm back around

[visual dagger]

all you now 😄

[whole sluice]

Miss anything?

[visual dagger]

nah

[whole sluice]

Welp, back to screenshotting and filtering crap I guess 😄

[visual dagger]

😄 sorry !

[whole sluice]

For?

[visual dagger]

not leaving u anything in here 😄

[whole sluice]

It's all good 😄

Here, hop in the sage channel

[fierce sundial]

how much hp does the wraith have

[red pulsar]

I'm having a hard time figuring out the shielding mechanics

[whole sluice]

The mesh of the shield has to physically block the mesh of the weapon/arrow you are trying to block. Your PoV camera is NOT your shield. So you have to play around until you feel the range better

[edgy venture]

viable to play solo?

[red pulsar]

Ok, I was told that you look at the direction the swing of the weapon is coming from? I tried this, but had a hard time with consistency. I'll keep trying 😀

Thanks

[whole sluice]

Hard, but viable. Some classes are better than others. Game is not balanced around it at all

[edgy venture]

fighter or barb for solo?

[whole sluice]

In generally, you will end up aiming higher than you might think

[whole sluice]

... Fighter probably, but barb is better without gear

So fighter long term, barb short term. Just need to be careful with how you play

[edgy venture]

ok, what if i find another premade group? just run?

[whole sluice]

Or ambush them if they are distracted, it really depends. But if you're just starting out, I would try to just get used to movement and the map. Escape when you can, establish a few hundred gold so you can buy healing items more consistantly

[edgy venture]

what's the goal ? survive and exit the dungeon?

[whole sluice]

To start, yeah. Learn the map, how the room sare connected, where stone portals spawn, sounds etc...

[stable plover]

what does spell capacity do for example "+2 spell capacity" ?

[whole sluice]

Spell capacity doesn't do anything in the current build

[stable plover]

should it add to more spell uses?

in the future

[whole sluice]

Yes

[fierce sundial]

how does leveling work?

[whole sluice]

XP is earned by doing pretty much anything. Killing players, killing AI, opening chests/corpses/portals, escaping, taking a down portal. The largest chunk of xp is going down to the bottom floor followed by escaping.

[fierce sundial]

thanks

[whole sluice]

You got it 🙂

[stable plover]

what does physical power do?

[whole sluice]

Increases total damage after modifiers by a %

[stable plover]

and does +3 pyhsical damage add to the weapon damage?

[whole sluice]

And physical skills

[edgy venture]

good class to start solo? ranger is good?

[steep pagoda]

can anyone tell me how the magical healing modifier works? does the healer need the modifier, the person being healed or does it affect potions

[whole sluice]

Ranger is good because you can set traps to stall/kill enemies, use ranged to take out playesr and easily kill most AI without using resources

[whole sluice]

THe person casting needs it

Potions is phys healing

[steep pagoda]

thx

[cobalt olive]

why does my invisibility immediately run out on mage when i move

[whole sluice]

Is either a bug, report it to #989065208087576596 , you didn't cast it on yourself and ended up casting at another player, teammate or AI, or it fizzled and you didn't actually cast it. Now, if you drink a invis potion, that is not the same as your spell and breaks when you do anything

[cobalt olive]

hmm ok, will try to replicate it and see if it happens again

[daring spindle]

Is there a stat for true magical healing? Feel like I found something with that stat yesterday but not too sure. If so what is the difference between magical healing and true magical healing?

[open kraken]

it also runs out if you take damage, so rogue bleed or even the ring damage will immediately pull you out of it

[whole sluice]

No such thing as true magical healing

Now, do you mean true magical damage?

[worn sapphire]

How does parrying work?

[whole sluice]

The weapon itself is the hitbox, the exact mesh. There is no cone, so you have to intercept where the other attack is coming from with your weapon. Very tight window

Also, only the Longsword really has parrying working correctly atm

Other weapons have a similar mechanic but it's still not fully fleshed out

[daring spindle]

TY, Wasn't sure I thought I might have seen the stat.

[whole sluice]

All good 🙂

[worn sapphire]

So do you need to be in attack animation or is just having it equipped and in the right place enough?

[daring spindle]

Do you know if the magic power is just making all magic stronger? Basically want to know if it adds more heal and more damage to judgement lol

[whole sluice]

Lemme wait for my partner to come back, he was practicing parrying with the longsword for like an entire day and can help you out better with that

[whole sluice]

Yes and most likely yes

If it says magical damage in the skill/spell magic damage adds to it

[worn sapphire]

Awesome thanks, feel free to DM me with the response

[whole sluice]

However, hard to test every skill at the dummy because insta lobbies

[whole sluice]

Ping me in about an hour in case I forget 😄

[daring spindle]

Okay thank you

[worn sapphire]

You got it 🙂

[fierce sundial]

how do you get candy corn?

[whole sluice]

Random drop chance from chests, breaking pots/boxes. I usually find most from killing other players who found it for me. Also the gold piles have a good chance of finding them

[fierce sundial]

ah i see

cause I haven't found any

yet

for 4 hours or so

[whole sluice]

Its still a low chance

[wispy trail]

yo guys defensive stance is when i block with shield with longsword or whatever?

[brittle wigeon]

yes

[visual dagger]

yes

[wispy trail]

yes mean whatever ye?

[visual dagger]

block parry

[wispy trail]

so its useless with shield

[visual dagger]

if your blocking you get defensive stance same thing with parry

[wispy trail]

okay thanks for answering

[red wave]

why are barbarians the worst class and how can it be fixed

[whole sluice]

They aren't?

[visual dagger]

they are by far not worst class

[whole sluice]

^^

[red wave]

What makes you say that?

I feel like they have so many cons and the pro is supposed to be crazy hp and good damage

[thorny meadow]

how/where does one find a golden key?

[pine marten]

Ive been duoing as a cleric with barb friend, and we frequently 2v3 wipe teams in full scav gear

[red wave]

but when I can get 3 headshots with the axe and a ranger doesnt go down

and I move slow as molasses and get 3 hit by a bow

if a barb doesnt have a cleric they are just ass

[whole sluice]

Skeleton Captain has a 10% chance to drop, but ONLY the one under the Golden Door area in the tower

We don't play with a cleric and our Barb kills plenty easy. That being said, this is a discussion and not a Q&A, so please take to the discussion channels 🙂

[red wave]

Well my question was What makes you say that?

when you said barbs arent the worst class

[whole sluice]

Opinions are not mechanics, this is a mechanic channel, please take it to discussion

[woven fulcrum]

I got golden kez from 1 elsewhere

[whole sluice]

Are you sure it wasn't the skeleton key?

[red wave]

what does strength greatly increased translate to in the stats?

[hybrid knoll]

how does gaining exp work ...do you get more for escaping? @whole sluice

[whole sluice]

XP is earned by doing pretty much anything. Killing players, killing AI, opening chests/corpses/portals, escaping, taking a down portal. The largest chunk of xp is going down to the bottom floor followed by escaping.

[whole sluice]

Pretty sure it's also 15%

But lemme check really quick

[hybrid knoll]

thanks

[whole sluice]

Nope, not 15%

Looks like just 15

[woven fulcrum]

It was goledn for sure

[whole sluice]

Interesting, most likely loot table bug

It's only supposed to spawn from the skeleton guard/captain down below

[red wave]

okay thank you so just straight +15?

[pine marten]

Is there a defined loot table to look at?

[whole sluice]

Yup

[red wave]

ANother dumb question how much does strength affect damage?

is it % or a flat rate

[whole sluice]

No, too many moving parts to figure out loot tables. Just a general idea

[red wave]

Like D&D where its every certain amount of strength is a + modifier

[whole sluice]

In general 1 Str equates to 1% phys power modifier

[red wave]

thank you for the answer

[whole sluice]

However, there are thresholds and dimishing returns at certain points, but in general it's roughly 1%

Sure thing 🙂

[red wave]

okay one more question about dmg whats the headshot % modifier

[cunning jay]

anyone know how long it takes to die to the zone?

[whole sluice]

150%

[whole sluice]

It's roughly 1-2 damage per second/tick

[cunning jay]

ye, but you die without losing full hp aswell

[whole sluice]

So you can outheal it fairly easy with potions etc

[terse hazel]

Is there any discussion of making it so we can buy bandages in bulk?

[whole sluice]

If the timer gets to 0, sure

[woven wing]

How do you cast a spell

[cunning jay]

its never outside the going to 0?

[whole sluice]

Merchants, among other mechanics, are still early in development. Much will change, yes

[whole sluice]

Huh?

[cunning jay]

ye nvm

[whole sluice]

😄

[whole sluice]

Right click after equipping something that casts spells, Staff, or Book etc...

[autumn night]

So in this game where you hit them with your weapon matter because barbs use two handers it sounds like you are hitting the head but hitting with the shaft and not the blade (less damage)

[whole sluice]

Shaft doesn't matter, if something connects it connects. Basic body shot scores are headshot 150%, torso/chest 100%, limbs 50%

Oh nevermind, I read that wrong, you were answering someone 😄

[autumn night]

You sure from melee im seeing 59 to head (hitting with shaft of axe) and 79 with a bit of spacing (hitting with blade of axe)

[whole sluice]

Yup, 100%

59 to 79 is most likely rounding issues

Now, not all damage is frontloaded, plus some weapons have different combo multipliers

[autumn night]

Oh each swing has different values as well?

[whole sluice]

On some weapons yes

[autumn night]

Well I learned something too then

[whole sluice]

For instance, the Castillion dagger combo #3 has like a 30% increase on hit

Check your character sheet in game, it will show the combo damage numbers

Most weapons have the same damage values for each hit, but not all

Also, the warrior combo ability has combo enhancers as well

[analog topaz]

Yeah so how does that work?

[autumn night]

Right in this example for my barb players gray 2h axe need to space your attacks a bit to hit with blade for max damage.

[analog topaz]

If I hit a full combo my damage will be increased by 10% for a short period?

[whole sluice]

I'll have to wait for my fighter friend, I want to say yes that is how it works and it simply refreshes if you combo again

It doesn't stack or anything

[autumn night]

Its followup attacks after your first hit

[whole sluice]

Oh you are talking about the distance, sorry

You are correct

[analog topaz]

Ok gotcha, that’s what I noticed in the dummy but I wasn’t sure

[whole sluice]

I missed your message up above when I was talking to someone in a DM

[candid wyvern]

Do different mage weapons give different bonuses to spells?

[whole sluice]

No

[whole sluice]

The differences between the various magical casting items and weapons are this: They differ in movement speed penalties, utility, and casting animations (Not speed). Each have specific uses. For instance, the crystal sword is great if you want to be a battle mage and cast spells while also bonking people on the head. The staff is terrible for halls because it has wide casting animations, but also lets you bonk slightly stronger than sword. And some don't let you bonk but only cast spells.

[candid wyvern]

weird design

"they bonk different"

but pointless otherwise

[whole sluice]

Not pointless

[terse hazel]

I noticed that the 5% dagger buff takes the starter dagger from 17 on a headshot to 18. Does the remaining .3 damage get rounded down and lost?

[whole sluice]

There are different situations for each of them

[jagged venture]

is ther egonna be a quickeybind for spells option instead of scrolling always the book?

[old pendant]

i got clapped by a wizards staff once

dude outmoved me big time

[whole sluice]

Not sure how rounding works tbh. I can't play with the dummy enough. Also, not sure how much armor the dummy has either. So it's hard to calc

[old pendant]

there deffo is situations for all of them

[whole sluice]

Not sure, but I hope they customize spell cast keybinds

[edgy venture]

well it's very frustrating in solo

[violet furnace]

Why does agility and resourcefulness both up the speed for interaction? But doesn’t say on fopdoodles

[edgy venture]

impossible to survive more than 3 mins versus premade teams

[whole sluice]

Fopdoodles is slightly outdated on stats. It was a carry over from last playtest

[violet furnace]

Oh ok, but both stats are suppose to give interaction speed?

[whole sluice]

Yup

Resourcefulness gives 'roughly' 2 times as much action speed per point than agi

But, it's the only thing Resourcefulness does currently

So It's still better to have 1 AGI than 1 Res. imo

[violet furnace]

Oh ok, Ty

[whole sluice]

👍

[visual dagger]

u have a perk that allows u to smash that chest

[whole sluice]

And if barbs could interact and attack as fast as others, why take anyone else?

Every class has pros and cons

But, thats more of a discussion question than a mechanic question 🙂

[wispy trail]

guys does ghost king/lich king reset hp after quitting room?

[whole sluice]

Yes

[wispy trail]

ok thx for quick answer

[whole sluice]

Again, sounds like a great topic for the discussion channels 🙂

[candid wyvern]

The crystal ball doesn't have any stats just penalty?

[whole sluice]

Different cast animations as well

[candid wyvern]

faster cast speed?

[whole sluice]

No, cast speed is the same

[candid wyvern]

wait so just penalty, no advantage other than looks

Guess just don't use one then?

[whole sluice]

The differences between the various magical casting items and weapons are this: They differ in movement speed penalties, utility, and casting animations (Not speed). Each have specific uses. For instance, the crystal sword is great if you want to be a battle mage and cast spells while also bonking people on the head. The staff is terrible for halls because it has wide casting animations, but also lets you bonk slightly stronger than sword. And some don't let you bonk but only cast spells.

[candid wyvern]

yeah I get it

seems empty

other weapons have different ranges, speeds, strengths, etc. Mage weapons feel incomplete

[whole sluice]

Disagree, but take it to feedback

[violet furnace]

Disagree aswell

[candid wyvern]

Your magic is essentially the same no matter your weapon though right? (just so I'm understanding mechanics)

[woven fulcrum]

yes

[candid wyvern]

It doesn't cast faster, do more damage, or change stats in any way

k, just wanted to be sure

[tawdry stream]

Have you been hit by a fireball?

shits don't need a damage increase

[candid wyvern]

Yes and hit people, I like the mage

Just feels like the weapon slot is pointless if you like mage for magic

not pointless but just hollow

[whole sluice]

Again, disagree, but please take the discussions to a discussion channel or post Feedback in #feedback-hidden-archive

[violet furnace]

If u invis in boss room solo does the bosses health reset?

[whole sluice]

I don't believe so because I don't think it drops aggro from invis

[visual dagger]

no he just stares at you

[whole sluice]

Oh n/m

But does he stare menacingly?

[feral grail]

how does the campfire works?

[whole sluice]

You interact with it to get a base +5 phys healing per second. It will also restore spells and most skills

[glad pewter]

You need two campfires to replenish revive spell!

[brazen marlin]

Does agi currently increase swing speed?

[visual dagger]

1 full campfire is enough

[whole sluice]

Yes

[mellow tulip]

what do all the flawed gems and broken rings/amulets do?

[whole sluice]

Vendor trash for now

[glad pewter]

Ok! So there is a difference in quality, not just the price! Thank you!

[vernal current]

how does the + spell capasaty work?

[whole sluice]

That being said, different rarity of campfires only effect time to deploy

[whole sluice]

It doesn't do anything in the current build

[rugged perch]

what does agility do as a stat

[whole sluice]

Move Speed Action Speed Equip Speed Interaction Speed (Regular)

[rugged perch]

what about strength?

[whole sluice]

Health Physical Power Bonus Physical Power

[rugged perch]

trying to gear out feels confusing becaues im seeing stats like phys power bonus, phys power, weapon damage, true damage, etc. what are the differences?

or is there some documentation of these stats effects i can read somewhere

[whole sluice]

Phys power increases total damage by a %, +phys adds Phys damage to weapons and skills that use phys damage. True damage bypasses resistances and armor

No documentation at this time

I'm working on documentation and/or wiki to help with some stuff

[rugged perch]

and weapon damage is self explanatory i assume

[whole sluice]

Yup

[rugged perch]

does magic damage + effect poison/bleed for rogue? or is it physical

[mellow tulip]

does something replenish spells on wizard other than meditating?

[whole sluice]

Campfires

[whole sluice]

I'm pretty sure it's magical, but test dummy is hard to use with insta lobbys 😄

[rugged perch]

for both bleed and poison?

[whole sluice]

Bleed is phys

[rugged perch]

ahh ty

[whole sluice]

At least according to the description

[sacred canopy]

there's no option to purchase lockpicks?
