    Bugs happen. They are literally not avoidable.

    Honestly, I think it says far more that apparently none of their beta testers used the Slayer.

    Or imported a character (because that's apparently what causes Watcher's Keep to disappear), or started a new ToB game (because Dorn's class/abilities are screwed up if you summon him via Fate Spirit), or tested the Underdark with Hexxat (because her innate regeneration would instantly trigger the movement glitch)...

    Eh, I imported and had no issues with Watcher's Keep so that one seems a bit random. The movement glitch obviously wasn't fixed in general. These are things I can slipping through. What about Dorn is messed up in ToB?

    I feel like Android is taking all the space >.<

    @Eudaemonium ToB Dorn misses his immunities and has more abilities. Watcher's Keep not showing is completely random as I've tried several times and it always appeared, regeneration and movement works better than in vanilla, Hexxat is somehow very bugged (just avoid Mind Flayers and you won't have much bugs, if she gets Mind Flayer'd you're gonna have a bad time...) but all this things had reports before they were pointed out in the forums, and the Layer ability disappearing is somehow random too, once it didn't appear and in my second run it appeared correctly, it is caused because you don't sleep in Brynlaw/Spellhold (happens a lot) after fighting Bodhi in the Asylum.

    Supposedly, it appears when you transfer to Throne of Bhaal. Don't quote me on it, but I believe that's what they found out in the bug forums.

    It's actually really strong for any non-Fighter class, including the warrior classes that aren't Fighters. 5 attacks per round, high strength, +2 cold damage, lots of defensive boosts and immunities, etc.

    Awfully presumptuous of you to be blaming the beta testers. These things can change by the build. So if testers were past certain areas of the game its very possible for them to have slipped through.

    I tested the game repeatedly, including importing, and never had a problem with Watcher's Keep. I also played through the whole game with Hexxat and never had an issue with stuttering in the Underdark.

    As for the slayer issue I noticed it and it was reported (not by me) months before launch. Why it wasn't fixed before launch is something that I don't know. Regardless it really wasn't the fault of the testers.

    Sorry, El. I was being a bit facetious. I know that these things slip through, especially in BG where a butterfly flapping it's wings in Larswood causes a hurricane in Brynnlaw. I just found the image of all the beta testers never using the slayer amusing.

    Played through Underdark with Hexxat in beta and release version, no movement glitch. Never used Slayer change ability that one is true.
  • SharShar Member Posts: 158
    Thats why wanted to wait till next patch but unfortunately it took too long so i tried it BG2 anyway. Quite disappointed actually encountered almost all the above bugs. Hexxat buggy as all hell, one of the bugs that raised a brow was when i loaded the game and magically her dragomirs cloak transmuted into cloak of protection+1. Slayer is for wussies, apparently my charname is so hard that the game thinks he doesnt need slayer form and never even initiated dream sequences in spellhold. But saying that i really enjoyed new dlc with maybe just few reloads.

    I'd really really ask you very nicely to refrain from making assumptions like that.

    I did use the slayer ability and did notice that it does not recharge.
    And I reported that bug SIX MONTHS AGO
    Well, I did apologise like… 4 posts later, y'know.

    Still seems to be bugged. After slayer change back to human form, the ability disappears forever. Please note: I will NOT use editing programs or console commands, I paid for the game and do not care for modding it myself. Now, it seems people still had this bug in february, and still said they reported it months back. It is not april, and it still seems to be a problem. And a major one for us major RP'ers. Now, all I want to know is this; are the devs working on updates at all, or more specifically, this bug? I am serious when I say I will not, I can not, play the game until this bug is fixed (not a matter of difficulty, its just, I cant RP properly until the bug is removed/fixed)

    So, what's the status here?

    If you own the game on Beamdog (Windows or Mac) you can sign up for BG2EE beta access here https://docs.google.com/forms/d/19RI45wTfzFk08QEJ8Vl05aLv5M9j7X7SJAktOK2SgJY/viewform.

    It will fix the issues for future play throughs but I'm not certain if it will fix the issue for your particular one.

    If you don't own it through Beamdog then you'll have to wait until the next patch comes out (whenever that is).

    My problem with the Slayer is that it kills me even when I switch back to human form. I'll switch back before I start taking damage, but it deals the damage anyway and I get killed in 4 rounds.

    But what I'd really like is for a Slayer Mastery mod that gives the Slayer form better bonuses after using it more often, to the point where you can use it freely.

    I'm pretty sure that once you have the bug, nothing but modding the ability is going to fix it. If you had a save before you used the Ravanger, the beta fix should solve things, but if the ability is already gone, the fix won't do you any good.
