Hope it doesn't turn into another wolves bane hunt.

 

[Echo717]

Lol that was a fiasco :roll:

 

[N1ghtmare]

Wait... there IS a wolves bane??

 

[Marisa]

I just got one today.

 

[Marisa]

Something the past couple of posts have confused me on. Stacks are essentially functioning at the moment, are they going to be reverted to lots of piles soon? Should I hurry and use up the bolts and arrows I've picked up since MarB?

 

[HumanSteak]

They don't really actually stack at all. Let's say you have a 200 steel stack made of 8 stacks of 25. It will take 8 spots in your bag/quiver/backpack and still add 8 to your item count. If you try to move the stack elsewhere, you only displace a stack of 25 and the rest disapears until you reconnect/drop the container... So yea, that's just like before in many ways, but much worse in MANY ways.

 

[Thothie]

Dunno if this will clarify things any - but on your character, they aren't truly stacking - on your client, they are. The bugs are a result of the difference. If the stacking is entirely undone (most likely the case) you'll have your old split stacks when the client patch comes.

Could we get a vague hint for the Axe of Balance in the form of a riddle?

>_>

Uh Captain Ron is broken on Oceancrossing. He asks me where I want to go, I press use to bring up the menu of choices and it goes straight in to the shop that you normally have to select the bottom option for.

Edit: Can I also add that the lesser bad of holding now works WORSE for me. I never carried armours around (other than helmets but they weigh next to nothing). My character now has like 3/4 weight, when it used to be bout 1/4. I can fix this by manually putting ALL my weapons in the lesser bag but within 5 mins of playing, I have taken most of them out and pressed Q to bag them fast and I end up on 3/4 weight again as they're all sat in my bags/sheathes instead of in the lesser.

Thoth nerfed the bag, anything inside the bag is reduced in weight. And it's just "bag of holding" now

 

[Xeropace]

Thoth said it wasn't a nerf if you use it correctly. I'm trying to use it correctly but pressing Q doesn't put it in the LBoH

 

[Echo717]

It holds so much stuff, I was able to pit my weapons strap and heavyback pack, cause it can has enough room to hold all my weapons, and potions, my weight is a fraction of what it once was

personally I consider it a buff :3

 

[Xeropace]

Can I just get rid of my backpack and sheathe? Will that work :S

I don't want to risk trying it tbh lol.

Edit: I moved EVERYTHING in to my lesser bag then threw them away... Seems to work so far.

Edit2: Wait it's called Bag of Holding now? Where'd the lesser go

 

[HumanSteak]

It's not a nerf... Bag of holding works just as intended now, everything inside the bag is weighless no matter what it is. You can put anything you want in it except bolts/arrows and it has 64 item slots if I'm not mistaken.

 

[Thothie]

Yeah, if it it's a nerf, yer using it wrong... It used to remove a max of 400lbs, globally. Stick two suites of armor in it, or three swords, and you've already gone beyond that. It'll probably fit near everything in your weaponstrap or backpack, which comes to WAY more than 400lbs on any character fit to hold one. I even dumped the developer variant of the BoH from my test chars, which removes 5000lbs globally, dropped said cheat bag, and moved my stuff to then new BOH, as that way it weights less than half of what it did with the cheat-bag - said BOH is now holding about 16,000lbs of crap!

 

[Xeropace]

Yea it works now I stuffed everything in it.

Also. Who ever made the final boss fight on shad_palace needs to... I dunno... Go get squished by a rock.

Oh and I tried to solo the_wall. The wall never broke, I got bored hitting it (I was attacking for atleast 10 mins). The reaver on the other side hit it about twice before running away so it didn't assist in breaking the wall.

 

[Thothie]

Needless, yet somewhat difficult, to say the fact that the breakable doesn't break is broke.

You shouldn't have to hit it at all, and the reaver should have it open in just a few secs, but alas, bugzors.

 

[The Man In Black]

You wouldn't have to throw away your Heavy Backpacks or anything like that. Should work fine if the BOH is the top container of your inventory. (May not work quite right with sheathes)

I second this motion. Thothie, could you please enlighten us with one of your cryptic messages?

 

[FER]

I second this motion. Thothie, could you please enlighten us with one of your cryptic messages?

Rather, tell us if its verified it spawns and its appearance is not bugged?

 

[J-M v2.5.5]

To be honest - and this is probably weird coming from me - drop it.
In the case of the wolve's bane, I hadn't gotten one, noone who I know had gotten one, and noone known by those people who I know had gotten one, even a full year after it had been put "in-game". This MAR2010b patch hasn't been out for even a week yet and you people are already freaking out because you can't find it.

Edit: But here are J-M v2.5.5's tips/funfacts on the Axe of Balance:
1) It looks like this.
2) It's probably better at actually damaging monsters than all other axes combined.
3) I'm sure it's not in Nashalrath because noone gives a flying **** about that map anyway (no offense to LittleFrodo/J).
4) At 2170 polygons, it's probably one of the most - if not the most - detailed weapon models in the game (hoar: 324, BH: 708, hxbow: 1148, fshard: 898, dragon axe: 1472, NH: 326, ushield: 322, LRod: 978, GIB: 622, BD: 876)

 

[Raisonbran648]

I enjoyed those funfacts. I think J-M is right, and would like to build my personal views into it as well.

I think too many people are off trying to do the same thing, farm the map and collect the treasure. If you farm it enough, you expect to receive all of the treasure eventually.

I think the wolves bane was a great example of what all epic weapons should have, and that is a mystery. Granted the wolves bane is one of the last weapons I would think as of a great weapon, the concept and implementation is gold. I think we need more puzzles and quests that demand skill and critical thinking, and less grind the map x times to receive your reward.

Just me thinking out loud.

 

[Noahthefox]

Ok I don't know if anyone has reported or even found this bug yet, but I'm gonna report it.

While sorting my inventory, with everything in my Bag of Holding, I grabbed all my weapons and set them to hand so they all go to bottom of list because I like to keep armors and potions at the top with weapons at bottom. But when I did this, my frost bow and rboa activated and hoarfrost went to hand, giving me 75 cold resist and 50 poison resist while being able to use any other weapon in my inventory. The resistances stayed until I pulled the weapons out and put them away again. I tried this again on a different map and server and it still worked.
Edit: Ok this is not really important, but when I did this, my hoarfrost model turned into the felewyn shard model. LOL

 

[J-M v2.5.5]

Woah, just saw something so cool that I'm not sure if it's intentional or not!
In aluhandra2, I pushed the boulder down, and the orc on the gate jumped away! The "Oh, f---" message still did pop up, so now I'm not sure if he's supposed to jump away or not...

But it did look awesome! Boulers don't have shit on the Shahaddar army tbh.
