[_] [G] QUESTAN' TIME Version 1.7 hotfixed Anonymous 09/17/10(Fri)17:04 No.

  Sorry guys, there was a bug left in that I didn't notice at first leading you to lose gold in
  town. This is a fix for it. Your suggestions have been taken into account.

  Short changelog:
  1.7 changed gold, exp mechanics; learning should affect game less, cha and sixth sense moar
  1.1-1.6
  non-magic user classes rebalanced
  mount system fixed; mounts now give +str
  new weapons for weapon users of both kinds, tiers up to 24 and 28 from 16
  rangers and archs are now close-range fighters
  cowboys are now long-range fighters
  bards are now weak magic-users with their own set of rules
  ton of bugfixes
  stuff I forget etc. etc.

Marked for deletion (old).

  As for the guy who was asking whether characters carry over: yes, they do without problems.
  However, they won't benefit from any changes retroactively, only as they level up.

>> [_] Anonymous 09/17/10(Fri)17:08 No.

  So for the next version I could make it so that you can't overshoot the end into undefined
  territory. That would mean cheaters insta-win though.

  At best that would only shorten the trip back to survivable zones for accidental cases like
  http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/5208/necromancer01undefined.png; I don't think it fixes that
  problem well enough to give cheaters a "win the game" button.

  But those are just my two cents.

  >>1376023
  No, the other approach is to make quests avoid giving tasks to hunt rare monsters by making
  monster arrays smaller. It's more work but I'll look into it.

  Also, possibly more monster mechanics like individual monsters.

  The game's system of dodging is so ridiculous characters really do need that much dexterity later
  on. That's less than a rogue of the same level would have.

  Although come to think of it, maybe I should have fixed the dodging system instead of giving them
  large dex gains

  Spell guide for versions 1.0 through 1.5

  Enlarge Muscles: Passive +Str equal to spell level
  Resistance: Passive +Con equal to spell level
  Quicken: Passive +Dex equal to spell level
  Hypnosis: Passive +Cha equal to spell level
  Concentration: Passive +Int equal to spell level
  Forseeing: Passive +Wis equal to spell level

  Fireball: High damage, damage depends on Int and spell level
  Heal: Straight-up heal, heal may depend on Int, definitely depends on spell level
  Poison: Med damage plus Damage-Over-Time, damage may depend on Int, definitely depends on spell
  level, Damage-Over-Time does not change with Int, changes with spell level.
  Ice Arrow: Small damage, also slows enemy attack speed, damage/slow may depend on Int, damage
  increases with spell level, current observation says slow likely also increases with spell level.

>> [_] Anonymous 09/17/10(Fri)17:41 No.

  Sixth Sense: Increased item(LOOT, NOT QUEST) drop rate; XXX seems to be either 100% drop or so
  near it you might as well call it that.
  Learning: Increaed exp, further increased with spell level.
  Teleportation: Increased travel speed; Teleportation II is twice as fast as no Teleportation at
  all, Teleportation L gives you barely enough time to read where you're traveling to,
  Teleportation CCL barely lets you see the travel meter.
  Regeneration: Passive HP regen in battle, HP restored with each pulse is equal to spell level.

  I believe the reason they are getting worse gear is because they aren't going back to town as
  much. Whenever your guy goes back to town he upgrades one teir if he has the gold, and if he goes
  back less that's worse upgrades.

  Not the first time this has been brought to my attention. I haven't had the time to test
  everything, so I've mostly been running Knights and Paladins to test. All fighter characters have
  received the same mathematical transformations designed to bring out even more what the game's
  original creator intended to be their strengths, and to compensate for the shitty to-hit
  algorithm. For the rogue, that just means insane amounts of dex. If you guys feel he's
  overpowered, I'll nerf him next version, though.

  All characters get Weapon and Armour equipment slots.
  Knights, Paladins and Cowboys get a bonus slot for mounts, which in v1.0 give extra HP but is
  bugged so they lose it every time they level up, and in the 4chan rebalance they give +str and
  +con
  Rangers, Rogues and Archeologists get a bonus slot for ammo, which gives +dex
  Bards get a bonus slot for instruments, which give +cha and in the 4chan rebalance gives them +1
  spell level each time one is purchased
  Necromancers, Wizards and Priests get a bonus slot for spellbooks, which cost roughly 1k-2k gold
  and will give a number of spell levels each time one is purchased.

  Each class and each race have their own growth rate for stats, but getting into that would be a
  bit too spoilery; just experiment and see for yourself. A word of warning, though: Hobbit Knights
  are complete shit and will sit there dying over and over again just trying to complete their
  first quest; basically use common sense when you're choosing your race/class combo and don't try
  to be too "lol i play d&d i want a half orc wizard because they break the mould" because some
  shit just does not work.

  Some very rough landmarks for your progress are the Graveyard (8%), Oasis (15%), Battlefield
  (30%) and Demonic Fortress (45%). The Castle and the Frozen Throne are about halfway through the
  game. From there you're cast into "Nowhere", which is apparently outer space, as your next visit
  is an alien planet complete with insanely tough Aliens. From there you travel to "Somewhere".
  Then you start traversing all kinds of magical places, eventually descending into hell. When
  you've finished Maladomini and Nessus, you arrive in The Silver Gazebo. Complete the quests
  there, and you'll reach The End.
