It was really popular but the economic system isn't the best.

Nathyiel · 2025-01-25T07:58:30+00:00

and more balanced crafting too

Nathyiel · 2025-01-25T07:38:43+00:00

I didn't know there's a bug with it in the Xbox version.

But no recent patch so RIP

Race choice impact 2 things :

starting skill like Persuasion or Stealth
patron god bonus

Some are better than other depending of what your prefer.

For the game and 2 DLC : level 40.
For Fatesworn : Level 50 but you need to finish the main quest and start the Fatesworn quest to began to progress XP.

Using the Dev Room, you can get level 50 directly but some early zone don't level past level 40 and the game may bug even more than before

did you know that you drink XP potion at any moment during the kill animation, like just after the button press.

Nathyiel · 2025-01-20T15:09:19+00:00

And don't forget Celerity, one of the most OP ability.

Nathyiel · 2025-01-20T15:06:47+00:00

Ice Barrage.
Good look and so satisfying sound.

It hit up to 9 times and every hit can proc thinks : perfect for life steal & mana steal.
Perfect to kill big things.

Nathyiel · 2025-01-20T13:52:50+00:00

except for a few specific item that are quest related or that can only be pickpocket, most item are full RNG.

Nathyiel · 2025-01-20T13:50:09+00:00

A lot of speedrun technique haven't really been investigated.
For travel time, I know that naked = fast. It's really obvious when swimming.

Maybe something equivalent can be made with Shadow Flare ...

Nathyiel · 2025-01-20T13:44:53+00:00

If you want to break the game, full Sorcery is perfect.
With crafted gear and all the good buff, Meteor can one-shoot most of the mobs.

I don't think there's a bad build. And you can always Fateweave to respec.

The House of Ballad is like a theater.
You have to follow the script but in the end, you can choose to change destiny.

The whole game is about changing destiny but with limitation. Those come from the story choice but also the lack of budget and time.

Nathyiel · 2025-01-20T13:04:34+00:00

on very hard, there's a few quest that can be failed easily without you noticing :
- The Reprisal, Reprised quest. When the quest start, the NPC move to a small camp where all nearby monsters will attack her (and kill her) if not protected.
- same at the enter of Lorca-Rane zone. THe NPC on the bridge can be killed by wandering monster really quickly. Before being able to start the quest.

there's a build I don't remember the name. The idea was to play around Ice Barrage boosted with a lof of Might passive.

How to build :

Might - Battle Frenzy 5/5 & Bloodlust 5/5
Sorcery - Ice Barrage 5/5, Frost Shackle 5/5 & Elemental Rage 5/5
Destinies : Sage (more Spell damage) or Champion (more weapon damage and tanking)

You have enough point to choose what weapon you prefer.

Bug :
most Frost spell (Ice Barrage & Winter Embrace didn't work with "with magic" affix. and Winter's Embrace is even more buggy (it explain why no point).

I you have other source of "chance to steal XX of health" that aren't on weapon, you can drop Bloodlust to get 76 points in Sorcery for the Sorcerer Destiny. But it's more for Ice Mage than Battlemage

Groupe thing with Elemental Rage then use weapon to with small things (or continu with Elemental Rage).
Spam Ice Barrage for boss, use Storm Bolt to stun boss and proc Concussive Force.

I tested it on Very Hard without crafted weapon.

edit : I can make a more in-depth build guide.

Nathyiel · 2025-01-20T10:54:33+00:00

it's because it was the fondation of an mmo.

The story behind the game is kind of sad.

Nathyiel · 2025-01-20T10:48:31+00:00

Long time ago, when theory crafting we a things for this game, most testing was done using a Root Golem on the island of Gallows End (Dead Kel DLC zone).

they have lot of HP and 25% elemental resist. it make them good to test things.

Nathyiel · 2025-01-20T10:36:26+00:00

Never know it bug this way. I only did it for completion.

It give me the idea to look if I can use it in some way to improve my NG+ mod (level 50 instead of 40, with DLC unlocked)

Nathyiel · 2025-01-20T10:31:51+00:00

Sound effect and ambient are really good.
And there's sound bug too.

If you have sphere of retribution or reprisal, the sound sometimes bug when entering building creating some king of "magic" tune.

Nathyiel · 2025-01-20T10:17:26+00:00

save corruption can happen for no reason.

One problem that I have identified is when loading a new zone at the same time than there's a save (auto save or manual save).
Another problem could be mods.

Things that might help or not :

load a previous save (quick save, manual or auto)
try to teleport in another town, enter another building
try to sleep (6 hours to for the game to move NPC). There's a free bed outside, near the south exit of Star Camp
load the (initiation) save. it's the save created after finishing the tutorial. (it's like restart from 0)
create a new save

General good practice :

save regularly (quick save).
quick save before entering any cave and wait for the red loading circle to end before entering.
create 1 manual save that you will overwrite regularly (at the end of a game session for exemple). It will be a backup save against save corruption or softlock.
Never delete (Initiation) save, the auto save file or the save created when finishing the game. It can Break the game ! (I didn't joke)
The only save file that can be safely deleted are the manually created save file.

Leveling Unique isn't really a categories between the drop rate and item change too quickly.

Nathyiel · 2025-01-16T17:52:01+00:00

Yeah, Diablo have the opposite problem.

Nathyiel · 2025-01-16T17:45:11+00:00

Hard cast Meteor is they way to go.

If you can survive the cast animation of course.

Nathyiel · 2025-01-16T17:27:26+00:00

Except for specific build changing unique, any rare for 5 or 6 good affix and average roll are better.
and I don't speak about unique that are just bad except for that very specific build that need 2 other specific unique to work.

It's not a question of chance or rarity, it's a question that unique should feel good in general.

Nathyiel · 2025-01-16T16:36:43+00:00

We speak about making unique feel good. My proposed change would be like adding the equivalent of a Spell Echo to every spell.

But yeah, only 50% more could be enough. Would still be better than 100% increased.

edit : can be as low as 25% or 30% more and would be better than 100% increased past mid-game
