Test Release Notes-November 13, 2008
 
  • Added various holiday events
  • Enemies are no longer appearing tiny
  • Voodoo meter added to enemies' health display when engaged in battle with a voodoo doll using a foe (I believe it's with a foe using a voodoo doll.)
  • The break Attunment effect caused by Dagger Asp and Throw Dirt now prevents enemy NPCs from casting voodoo hexes for 15 seconds
  • Draining an enemy NPC's voodoo power to 0 with Hex Eater will now prevent it from casting spells for 10 seconds
  • Added a disk space check to the launcher
  • Various bug fixes for crashes and other show issues

Looks like good updates, no more midget monsters!

Added varoius holiday events i gotta check this out

Sven Niscadae 11-14-2008 04:33 PM

Sweet! The voodoo/hex eater related updates hopefully will be most awesome! This should make hex eater more useful since they dorked it up.

Andrew 11-14-2008 04:34 PM

Thats's cool, especially that the break attunment will actually do something, lol. Hope they can get this live soon

Rackat 11-14-2008 04:42 PM

So the break attunement with dagger is for 15 seconds (use throw dirt, it's free), and the PIstol's Hex eater only lasts 10 seconds and costs to re-ammo? That is lame. The Hex eater ought to last 20 seconds and have the break attunment stay at 15 seconds. I wish they hadn't dorked it up in the first place, but this is better than it has been.........which is not saying much.

Cannonfury 11-14-2008 04:44 PM

Looks like good updates.

Aliese 11-14-2008 05:35 PM

Well, it sounds like my daily "Change hex shot back" feedback might have done something, after all. LoL


I agree with Rackat though, it should last longer.

ukebec 11-14-2008 05:48 PM

Well, at least the break attunement and hex shot are something of an improvement over what we've got now.

I think I'll miss those tee-tiny scorps though. They were cute lil' frisky buggers. :D

Maximvs 11-14-2008 07:32 PM

My first focus on Test tonight will be jut to see if they actually fixed Hex to work right (ie. if after 10 seconds the Caster can spell again - can I re-hex him for another 10 seconds...) otherwise its a waste of time (and I've already moved on to forumlate other methods of HI REP...)

THEN If it works - I'm bombarding them to raise to to 25 seconds! LOL :D

We'll also see if the Chat Box works right... its runing all the good pics lately...

can someones plz tell me what the new holiday events are

Chris 11-14-2008 09:32 PM

And what are these holdiay events?

League 11-14-2008 09:39 PM

I dunno... I sorta think that they're events centered around holidays or such, but hey, that's just a guess.

Seem like like-worthy changes, albeit late`un`s.

Maximvs 11-14-2008 11:01 PM

So - Hex Shot is working as designed :) Its a step in the right direction:

- You shoot a Gyp until is Voodoo is gone (bar shows his voodoo amount along with numbers)
- When empty, you can do anything for 10 seconds (switch to another weapon and hit, just stand there) and he does not start recasting immediately
- When he does begin recasting, he CAN be rehexed and stops again for another 10 seconds :D

This shows great promise, and the first time in a month I've been able to use this smiley at the end of a sentence when talking about Hex - :)

Now to make it at least worthy - it needs to be raised to 20 - 25 seconds... the only real issues is that the hardest weapons to level (-GERNADES-) cannot be uesd really well as by the time they load - his time is up and he can start casting again... at least 25 seconds would aloow a few volleys off before he could recast and need to be rehexed. :)

Chat Box still broken (boo...) and I haven't found any 'holiday' nifty things yet... but will continue to look on... and haven't found any 'tiny creatures' so this may be fixed as well (interface gets an upgrade to v13, game enviroment is now v50)

Deadpool 11-14-2008 11:07 PM

I thought they were suppose to be small lol. I hope for at least Christmas holiday event they put in some snow.

Sarah 11-15-2008 12:06 AM

Just did some poking around. No tiny creatures to be found, but nothing holiday like either. (Unless candle like flames floating around in the middle of the air are holiday like...) Hex seems to be doing what they said it would, for now, but I agree with Max, time limit needs to be raised. Off to report ;)

Nay, this be the Caribbean, and I prefer my beaches beach-like. They could do something outlandish, however, like having a giant Bethlehem star in the sky. The undeads, in a different sort of tradition, could have on Christmas clothes or the like--and, like in Club Penguin, they could make clothes for the occasion. (Perhaps the undeads could give them to us...) As well, a special gift to the members or something would be nigh appreciable, and high appreciated.

Diego Birmingham 11-15-2008 12:27 AM

Maybe the taverns will be serving turkey dinner and later we can buy Santa suits to run around in. May a christmas tree in every town square.

League 11-15-2008 12:29 AM

Not bad ideas, though I don't have a terrible liking for pixel-stuffed turkey. They did release news for live, so I'm hopeful, though I don't see why I just don't look ahead on Test.

Poison elf 11-15-2008 12:45 AM

Hex shot, asp, throw dirt, at least work in a partial sense now. I agree the time is to short, and found it troublesome working them on top of each other. Part of the time asp and throw dirt didn't break attunement, after hex shot was used.

The switching back and forth with weapons gave little time for grenades, but made it quite easy to work dagger. I see bosses the easiest to build on now, specially standing next to a healer for 5 gold.

I as well have seen nothing new in the way of Holiday items.

MacIronhawk 11-15-2008 07:09 PM

The only holiday related thing I see is more candles, as Sarah said.
I like how hex eater will only last 10 seconds because it makes for a better challenge.
Hopefully we'll see more updates coming soon.

Chris 11-15-2008 07:38 PM

Yea there needs to be more worked out but its a nice update overall. Now press them for 20 seconds instead of 10
