Hide is only fun if you can hide your whole party and rest so you don't rest outside battles and make your characters get old. Man, I'll be playing Wiz 6~8 until Cleve balance this game.

Didn't know Cleve Blakemore was that important!

The forces of decline come in all shapes and sizes and George Soros has very deep pockets.

How many times do you plan on playing those two? I think you'll be bored after the 127th run through each one.
"until"? nah, if you can't do it in 20+, if you are SOOOOOOOOOOO far off in that time, you aren't able to.

Do they get old? I wondered that myself given they have 'ages'. Wonder how old they get? Wonder how that might alter gameplay? I sleep a LOT, I guess I might find out, but man, I'll be mightily pissed if I am level 12 and my guys drop dead of old age.

Thinking about the age thing... my memory is a bit iffy, but I seem to recall that the games where your guys could get old and die, generally had a mechanic to bring new guys into the party, so you could easily bring them up to speed quickly and get them in the ballpark of the guys they were replacing. In other words, age was important, but it couldn't 'break' your game by effectively ruining your party, thus forcing a complete restart.

Kinda makes you worry a little.

Super curious to see how Matt will handle the force of personality that is Cleve. I reckon if Matt asks about SirTech and Cleve enters Thal rage chances for the interview to actually be published may drop rapidly.

Oh my fucking god, the Moon Singer really does have an use in this game :D

Hi!

Congratulations to my friend Viata for not only being a doll and helping those of us out when needed but for putting the Codex out front in the gaming news yet again! Is there going to be a Codex interview too?

Thanks,
Sherry

That is for wizardry. You can use hide to rest you party during battles.

Ok, but what about resting outside battles and the characters getting too old to play? Is that a thing?

LOL @ ?BATMAN?

one of my chars has age/life thingie of 33/22

Forever. Then may do the same with Grimoire.

They just get old enough to be weak, less VIT and whatnot. It only matter if you plan to start your party in Wiz6 and go till the end of Wiz8 with them. Otherwise, that doesn't matter. They are supposed to die of old age, but that isn't something easier to do compared to old Wizadries. I guess if you play 600 hours the same game, rested after EVERY battle, then that may be possible.

Grimoire must be played and beaten 7 times by everyone to honor our fallen comrade Skyway who died fighting against the Russians in Crimea.

Seems like Cleve broke the random encounters again.

 

[Streaming Instability]

Seems like Cleve broke the random encounters again.

Yeah, it's a bit weird that it's so fiddly. I assumed that it was as simple as setting a threshold for a random number.

 

[Haba]

Btw, I am pretty sure we didn't have CON losses from Raise Dead before. What triggers it?

I must've been built-in, because it happened before I finally updated to the latest version.

It didn't. New update, probably. Worse yet, there is no description about CON losses on Raise Dead unlike Ressurection, which implies that it's a new bug.
Edit: Just now saw the "latest version". Maybe it's from level x and above, or something like that.

 

[Humanity has risen!]

See how retarded the people who said DUUURR IT'S A PERPETUALLY BROKEN mess now look?

 

[Viata]

Raise Dead reducing CON seems to be a bug, I read people saying how you recover your CON after leveling up that character.

 

[buru5]

I suppose it's a good thing that we don't actually know what CON does. Or has new information surfaced?

What is related to damage your char takes? I believe my strongest Berserk had the weakest CON and was the one that died the most. I don't know if it's related, though.

I figured your armor score determined the amount of damage you take. I really have no clue what CON does.

 

[Haba]

My CON should have been to 10 on most chars, so maybe it indeed is related to levelilng up. I've only lost CON from the past few times I've died.

He admitted using memory blobs for passing parameters... Who knows what kind of shit code he wrote for random encounters. Another thing - as i recall JIT compiler for AngelScript kinda buggy - so if he using JIT game will be broken.

 

[AArmanFV]

Then it works like Kadorto and Di in early Wizardries maybe?, where characters loose 1 point of Vitality every time is revived.
