  THIRD TIME'S THE CHARM

  I was saying, I think we're done with beta testing and suggestions. IdleQuest 2.0 is here guys. I
  will take a break from updating after this and give you time to play the game, so if you find
  something you want changed, now is the time to point it out. Sorry I couldn't put in everything
  you wanted.

  New in 2.0 (since 1.5):
  Individual monsters
  Completely new dodging system
  Character titles
  New items
  New equipment
  Class specific skills that can't be obtained by other classes (Bone armor, Quickspell, Power
  attack, Sneak attack, Scoundrel's luck, Bard song, Holy smite, Trick Shot)
  So much rebalancing it's not even funny.

Marked for deletion (old).

>> [_] OP !8nHncBHSeM 09/25/10(Sat)13:27 No.

  Replies to people in the previous thread
  - Yes, I did accidentally previously post v.2.0g and not v.2.0. Yes, I did post a broken copy of
  2.0 with an attack choice algorithm I had broken during some last minute tweaking. Sorry about
  that.
  - Quest exp rewards have been increased at later levels. Gold is purposely kept low for the
  benefit of classes and skills specializing in gold management.
  - Rogues get a lot of dex, sure. It's what pro rogue players say is balanced. Sneak attack is
  tested and is not overpowered at later levels. Deal w/it
  - What do you mean not open source? I only just posted source code to version 1.9.1 and you can
  decompile and edit and recompile this with flasm16 as you like what are you a retard god damn

>> [_] OP !8nHncBHSeM 09/25/10(Sat)13:28 No.

  Also, not compatible with characters from previous versions. Attempting to play this with one
  will make your character bugged, stuck in "Smite" or "Sneak Attack" or "Undefined" forever.
  Nothing I can do about that at this time.

  What else...

  yeah, I fixed your pathetic pathetic donkeys too

  One more thing. Bard song is now completely new and has both offensive and defensive powers
  (actually the only skill to have both at this time).

  Report anything you want changed and any bugs you find while this thread lasts.

  Well, anyway, chances are that you are indeed supposed to be killing them very fast. Version 2.0
  is more aimed at higher levels, where previous versions focused on early game. Hence also the
  initially large exp gains.

  >>1382034
  You probably didn't refresh before starting the game. I managed to break the attack selection
  algorithm during some final tweaks to Trick Shot and Smiting and then accidentally posted that.
  That shouldn't happen in this version (and doesn't to my characters at least and seemingly
  others' too).

  Is power attack an active or passive skill? Does it require mana? My lvl 10 human knight never
  seems to use it, and it doesn't buff any stat. Maybe my 17 mana pool is to feeble?

  That happens if you try to play an old character in the new version. Don't, you'll break them.

  It's because their skill arrays don't have that skill defined and they can't answer the question
  of whether they have that skill in the negative, so they'll try to use it and freeze.
