Known Issues:
Sometimes it’s not possible to talk to key NPCs.
Weapon VFX (e.g. Flames) are stacking each time you portal to a different map.
Loot drop probabilities need tweaking - rare items are dropping too early.
Developer Notes:
Up until this point loot hasn’t played a big role and didn’t scale well. The new system gives us a solution that fits campaign levels, sandbox levels, and community levels.
Magic items potentially receive a prefix which boosts attributes (strength, agility, vitality and mind), and a suffix which can be anything from special damage (fire, cold, shadow, poison etc..) to critical hit bonuses. Each prefix and suffix has four levels of bonus with unique names, for example “Burning”, “Flaming”, “Scorching”, “Immolation”. An example might be an Agile Bow Of Scorching. Economy magic bonuses have not yet been implemented.
In a future patch we will be adding Workbench nodes to be able to create and assign specific magic items to characters. It is envisaged these will mostly be named epic items.
Useful console commands for testing:
Magic items with visual effects don’t start dropping until later character levels (e.g. 10+). To shortcut this, you can cheat and use the following console commands.
levelup 5 (levels up all selected characters by 5 levels)
genloot 3 glacian (generates 3 loot items as if dropped by a Glacian faction character)
Notes:
don’t generate more than 3 otherwise as you’ll probably just get non-faction fillers
The list of faction names for use with console are :
cultofpyros
dwarven
glacian
gladefolk
goblin
orderofthefang
toadkin
undead
