    I actually only got this bug yesterday while playing a new game. I don't remember it happening during my first playthrough.

    Great work on the fixes. Downloading now.

    I didn't realize these were even in the game (though I suppose the Longbow +2 might be the Longbow of Marksmanship). Has anyone found these?

    Is the Blade kit fixed too?

  • MessiMessi Member Posts: 738
    Thanks for the patch. Really appreciate you guys bringing these games to modern standards!
  • Rpg_AvatarRpg_Avatar Member Posts: 38
    Loving the new patch! I can actually see the numbers in my inventory now! I have bad vision and the numbers were SO very small and similar looking.

    And yes I know its sad that from this huge patch the thing I love the most is the fact that they made the numbers in the inventory and elsewhere bigger and easier to differentiate.

    You guys are awesome!

    I'm almost positive they're not in the main campaign, but I'm guessing you can get them in the Black Pits (I haven't played the black pits yet)?
  • TheBlackThroneTheBlackThrone Member Posts: 42
    Perfect. I've been looking for an excuse to start a blade or an avenger. This covers both!
  • HeadbombHeadbomb Member Posts: 213
    In the changelog, it should be
    * "ogre" and not "orge"
    * "The Vampire's Revenge" and not "The Vampires Revenge"

    Good point, I forgot that Black Pits uses some different items.

    I'm really disappointed that the Ankheg got attention to remove Druid and Archer restrictions, but that the overpowered-ness, because of the ability to now equip + protections items with this armor, was not addressed.

    Ankheg plate + ring of protection +1 is now a more powerful combo than practical defense +3, which is one of the most difficult armor to obtain (basement of Durlags). Practical defense sits in my bags, completely worthless.

    Please add this back as an item excluded from being equipable with + protection items. It should of never happened in the first place.

    The thread started off about PnP but evolved into one about Ankheg needing the exclusion back

    What are you talking about?
  • ZanathKariashiZanathKariashi Member Posts: 2,869
    @bigdogchris Did they nerf the AC to the proper 2 AC non-magical Ankheg mail has? If it's better then 2, then yes, that's a valid argument.

    Also, can beast master's wear it? It's not metal so if a druid can wear it, so can a beast master.
  • StrayedMonkeyStrayedMonkey Member Posts: 146
    was the elven chain mail moved from the girl in the dorn encounter? because she drops just a regular plate mail
  • AlexMAlexM Member Posts: 110
    @StrayedMonkey
    You'll find it during Dorn's quest, not his initial encounter.

    No, it's still AC 1.

    If it's AC1, then it needs to be excluded like it originally was.

    If they change it to AC 2, then I'm fine with it not being excluded.

    We have a large patch coming that includes a variety of fixes and multiplayer improvements. It may also have some other... stuff.

    Is it in or did it get delayed. Any clues?

    I don't see a fix for the Dorn/Kryll bug (conversation doesn't trigger properly).

    Woot, and dare I say it, Woot.

    Team BD and Overhaul, a big thanks again. You have the patience of saints and the customer service skills of Santa Claus ( especially when dealing with the "louder" complaints ).

    Respect is duly given. :)

    EDIT - 100 posts? Yay me!

    It was nice to see all the fixes, though it makes me sadfaced that the match-making system isn't up yet.. Guess I'll just have to wait another month before playing anymore.

    The door of a house in Friendly arm inn shows wrong animation reverted from opened animation to closed animation, vise versa.

    Please spoil me regarding "Ring of Acuity/Captive Audience". Is that Black Pits?
