* statbox now shows theoretical damage: format is xdy +bonus +statdmg (but none of this includes the scaling up/down due to weapon speed)
I would like to see "Theoretical DPS" because this is the thing that matters. Even better if it counts average damage for weapon enchants like VOG and VAM. Will this be hard to implement?

Also about DPS counter:
I love it exits but not sure how it counts damage now.... Maybe it should: Reset when player enters new map and count (damage/"time spend on map"). Also "time spend on map" should stop if player stars to IDLE like second or more. (I bet this will be hard to make.. but would be pro)
Anyways it may work eight way.. I just don't get it.
Heikki, I'm not sure if this is kinda what you were after, but there's a script in the package linked to below that calculates theoretical DPS for weapons. However, it doesn't do enchants(yet at least). Was at least accurate a couple of years ago, not sure if there's been any changes made since then that would skew the results.

* added 'theoretical dps' when looking at weapon on ground, but it doesn't factor in enchants such as vf etc
* gwot no longer random. poly attack speed now based on weapon always
* hexblades are now 90/10 INT/STR stat build
* int based weapons (eg hexblade) give material bonus to spells in same way staffs doint based damage

Nice one!
Does it use character (who looks it) str/dex ratio (as 75/25 for long sword) ?
eggmceye wrote:* gwot no longer random.
This is very nice... but it is also SO powerful item that it should be added as "rare drop"? So players can also get it as loot with good luck?
"Lesser wots" are still super rare and work like 1/10 as gwot. Now I see it almost P2W...

How is that pay to win? There is hardly a difference between +35 and +36 for example, it only matters to perfectionists. I can finally make a full +36 set without twitching, hurzuhhhh!

Yep. I is not problem player who can spend lot of money to game and wants fast max tinted items. Actually it is great for those.
I have now leveled from 410-->435 without single wot drop.. And just heard from player that he got his first at lvl 100... so its really rare.
Stat 36 is worst example. Try craft for example bone jewerly of attack +9 set (2 rings and neck) without gwots. It is like 30 wots (Getting those is like playing like 2 character to lvl 500)..... With gwots and one Anathema run for 3x +9 attack items this takes 20-30minutes.
Gwot is great item.... Maybe most wanted item in game for max tinted items. It is nice item and I don't say it should be removed.. but at least everybody should have chance for it?

Hexblades dont seem to regen mana (or stifle mana regen). I run out of mana much faster with a sicle than with a staff.

Not sure if intentional or oversight or my imagination.

Also: vampy sickle doesnt steal health with HoB.

P.S. I have really low hexblade skill, not sure if relevant.
P.P.S. Ok figured it out i think - spell mana cost is higher without staves equipped.

Okay so... +8 compared to a +9 still not a big difference.

As far as drop rates.. which I think is your point, yes I agree wot rates seem to be pretty low. I've seen one or two in 30 levels. It would be nice to see more drop.

Don't complain about GWOTs, just complete weekly if you want to have 2 gwots as completing it gives 50 addy coins. FOr me it's worth it. I think it's even weird Egg changed it to be nor random anymore. As everyone can use it. I took me a couple of months to get my gear they way I wanted and failed the last 3 gettting boots +36. All while I didn't get a single WOT. So I'm happy :) Less happy with the random change gone but why not make life easier :)

Awesome! Always love updates.

The only ultima i am doing is sega master system ultima 4. Finishing up on tilesets (12x12 pixels... Odd). Dungeons are all eagle-eye top view like euo. Some done weird. Its far different than the easy NES ultima 4. Lord Mort did some awsome work on rooms conversion u4 to euo (check bottom forum section). I will next be mapping it out using a prog i bought called GridCartographer (works mostly with gog games but i can make a run with meka. Going to map each square as 11:1 (since combat arenas and rooms are 11x11. Maybe one day i will make a map of all ages of said dungeons in one. Give me a basis for pet peeve projects like if i fully get into NVWN2 or if i get the next up and coming construct set. Eh..

* enabled flying/rafting in all dungeon* maps (ie the map must be marked as dungeon type, not towne)
* can't fall into waterfall if no wet tile below it (hopefully this doesn't break any maps?)
* fixed tinted necro weps not being vamp/ven/barb etc when casting spells (like staff)
* HoB now has 15 sec cooldown
* gwot now drops at the rate wot was dropped. wot now more common!

re the rafting mod: a bunch of maps needed tweaks but generally speaking it was pretty straightforward. The map that needed the most work was ToLS: and even then it was mostly tweaks, tho I did have to make a new tile called 'endless dark void wall' or some such crap, which replaced endless darkness in some places, and is basically a blocking version of the same required to keep pesky raft users out of illegal bits of the map. 1) I hope ToLS isn't broken by being too raft accessible 2) if you appear to be in a spawn free zone, you are probably in an illegal (meta map) zone - so please report it so I can plug the hole. As for Lost Jungle, well, byo raft from now on.

i hate the HOB 15 second cool down. That nerfed necro's to nothing, IMO. Could that be changed to 1HOB at a time? If the spell lasts 3 seconds, you can cast again in 3 seconds. This way you can have at least 1 spell out and you're not standing there or running around waiting for the cool down.

many posts about how cheesy and laggy HoB was so what you expect?

plus as I said before, if HoB was the only good thing about necros then they need something else. hexblades have been improved a lot recently, that's a start.

I might reduce the cooldown a bit, but they were never meant to be overlapping.

Hi Egg,
Now all necromancer weps proc vamp/ven/barbed simultaneously. Was casting/meleeing with an addy krys and getting all 4 effects with HoB and melee attacks.

Still not sure what I think about the HoB cooldown. Agree it needs a nerf/balance though, but have to play a bit more to see if this is too much.

P.S. Dark Ritual doesn't work on artifact scythes/longswords/etc. Perhaps we should have some new hexblade arties? :D
