He shouldn't give *no* XP, but the longer it takes to get to him, the more XP he'll give (think it maxes out after 15 minutes or so.)

It appears to function differently from what I've seen. It doesn't even BEGIN to spin up until 15 minutes have passed. You get 0 xp until then.

Still can't duplicate that, even the few times I tried on-line. Might just have to re-write the horror egg script - it's not using the most efficient method currently available.

The worm crashes, and the skeletons can randomly crash it too when summoning spells. It always seems to happen when a horror uses a spell (Because of the sound I hear before crashing) I assume it's always a spell being summoned

Zeus did something that fixed this, apparently, but neglected to post it. (Might be something silly like not patched proper, IDK.)

Doubt I can duplicate, but I can try copying your FN characters to one of mine and see what happens, if you provide Steam ID.

I found out that i must have moved msc off my main drive at some point so i was running an older version.

I would like to know if I understand the script correctly. Is an epic item = artifact?
Or is it higher and not depending on the scaling level in the chests?

If an epic item is could be one of the new items it would be possible to farm it solo if I get a level 3 chest, what I get in my case?

Or maybe this is not possible to spawn if you play solo?

The rarity is fine if it is hard to get that keeps the time longer you have a goal to play the game.
I just like to know what is needed to get a new item, so I dont waste time because I have no chance to get anyways.

add_epic_item % chooses items from the random epic list, there's around 50 items on it. add_artifact % is the one where it chooses from the unique list, which has 2-3 unique items, some of which repeat to alter the odds. Either can be gotten solo, just the odds improve with more players and higher difficulty tiers.

I've noticed that the only chest that spawns uniques is the prismatic chest near the blue crystal, is this a coincidence or intentional? Every time we've gotten something decent it's always from that same chest

*sigh* Bit of both... While there are five chests that have the potential to dish out uniques, their locations are fixed, as in this case, the scripts don't shuffle about. It is true, the Prism boss has two of the five, as he's probably the meanest and most difficult to spawn. I think one of the five may not spawn at all, depending on where you come in from.

Try right clicking on it and Run as Administrator? (Meh, I should make a Win 10 boot, but I already have three OS's on this damn system...)

A rar file of all that would be over 2GB, so it'd be hard, dunno if someone could pull it off and get it to download reliably. (Probably would have to chop it into bits.)

You can try compatibility properties, or Win XP mode, if 10 supports it. Might be Windows internal security/anti-virus preventing it from running, but beyond that... NSIS installers are pretty simple, and among the most common out there, so I suspect something is fundamentally wrong in the system if it won't run.

I couldn't upload the full installer myself, cuz it was so huge, and had to do some fandangling with RKS to get it up online. It's using 7z ultra compression, so I dun think it can get any smaller.

You might be able to manually extract files from the installer with 7z:
http://www.7-zip.org/

edit: (tested) Yes, you can, though you'll have to manually place the files inside $sysdir$ folder into your %windir%. Right click on the executable, choose the 7-zip cascade, and "Open Archive".

Remind me to stick a note about manual extraction with 7z in the download link descriptions - I know people who have odd user auths can't use executables. (Granted, I dunno how they'd install 7z then, and such profiles may cause issues overwriting the MSC files to boot.)

I've seen two new players playing as dwarves so far, might need to make some notifier ingame that they need to remake their character as a human if that's possible

Well, I can't add an in-game notification without a patch - which would stop them from making dwarves to begin with, so... Basically nadda to do but rely on folks spreading the word.

I suspect I'll be getting a lot of rollback requests come next patch, as the solution may result in the game not loading the character selection screen, if you have dwarf characters come the next patch.

The spider axe doesn't deal triple damage to spiders, ignore web weaver debuffs, or DOTS applied by spiders. Not sure if the dark DOT it applies reduces their damage either

just tested it again, it does seem to ignore the poison DOT applied (guess it was an oversight on my part since the spiders do an absolutely ridiculous amount of damage regardless) and the damage reduction does work if the dark dot is applied to them, but the triple damage isn't working and orb weavers can still web you
