Parry at 100% and won't change, not working

[Brad]

Howdy.

So my parry level is at 30, and holding at 100%

Is that supposed to be the cap? Cause otherwise it isn't changing, not even when I die (and this is since the latest Dec 1 patch) and my highest skill is supposed to be lowered by 10%

On top of that I haven't been parrying any attacks AT ALL since the patch.


....


Oh yeah, and now, for some reason, Shadahar's quest will not work. When I go to use the glowing *ahem* thing at the spot where he is supposed to appear, I am told "This quest is not for those that would use short-cuts!" or something along those lines. This is since the last patch.

All skills have problems displaying their true exp when you get up that high. Just ignore it and it will level.

parry thing is a bug but it will change. you do still parry hits, best monster to parry off of is a black bear with a shield. Dont know about the quest

 

[Brad]

Holy crow, quick replies.


Okay, just to respond about the parry thing. I just tried playing again and it seems to have fixed itself. Also with this new patch parry has changed so that you don't get a text message when you parry an attack (i.e. Orc Warrior attacks you! (74/40) PARRIED!!) instead your screen tilts to one side, and the attack is parried without any feedback other than that. Still levels up normally evidently.

Yeah that whole parry thing is screwy - but works, more or less. Suspect it may have to do with client<->server updating that skill differently than the others. Wouldn't worry about it - suspsect I won't be either, for awhile yet.

....It's not just parry. All skills do that when they get them high enough, it's just parry is often the first to make it. For instance, my blunt arms is doing that right now >_>

 

[Thothie]

Odd, I've never had that happen with a raw skill. I've had them sticky at 100% a bit - but not roll back to 0% like Parry does. Even the sticky I've not had for very long.

 

[The Man In Black]

Well, perhaps it's not going to roll back, but it's stuck at 100 and the last known REAL exp was about 50-60

 

[Crow]

Holy Crow!

 

[BioRage]

Happens to me, but its a glitch, which in saying when at 100% it's at 60 - 80%

 

[Brad]

Any ideas about Shadahar's quest...? Is this some sort of anti-farming tool Thothie has put in?

 

[Thothie]

Map warping will make the Shadahar quest bjork now. (Pillar will cuss you out for it.)

 

[Brad]

Oh, okay, wicked. Thanks, Thothie!
