The Warmaster, Steward and Vendor died at 23:19 (real time).

It's now 00:07 past midnight, and only the steward has come bacK.

We're talking about 45+ minutes of real playing time, and I'm in the lowest difficulty level.

Something to add onto a list of tweaks and minor fixes for a hypothetical future DoP update :p (I hope).

Thanks


00:20 The Armorsmith Varin has been resurrected, yay!
00:24 ... and the Warmaster ... so about 1 hour real time. ]]> Depths of Peril bugs fab http://www.soldak.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4837 http://www.soldak.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4836&goto=newpost Mon, 14 May 2012 20:45:58 GMT Hi Shadow,

Is it possible through the data files to change the darkness of the Advanced Shadows? I'd like to keep them on but they are a bit sharp, so I would like to increase the transparency.

Secondly, is it possible to adapt the field of view and camera distance of the perspective mode? I also wish I'd play with this one but it's too close compared to the old 2D view. I would like to tweak the FOV and distance. ]]> Depths of Peril modding fab http://www.soldak.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4836 http://www.soldak.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4835&goto=newpost Mon, 14 May 2012 17:41:18 GMT We played a lot of games this last weekend, including Pandemic http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/30549/pandemic (sorry, I've forgotten how to do URLs...).

I'm saving up money to buy Din's Curse and the Demon War expansion, but I only get $10 a month to spend - so I'll be able to afford the main game a month before I'll be able to get the expansion to go with it... My question is, is it worth buying the original game without the expansion, or should I wait to buy until I can afford both? (I'm happily playing DoP at the moment, so the wait wouldn't be TOO difficult...) I'm mainly wondering if the expansion adds so much that the original game would pale in comparison...

so, what do you all advise???

thanks,

This feels especially unfair when you're playing in the "permanent death"-mode. My opinion is that in every situation, whether the player dies or not, should be a matter of skillful playing (or the lack of it) by the player's part instead of luck. However, this is just a personal opinion, so I'd like to hear what the developers and other people think about the issue. ]]> Drox Operative game awera http://www.soldak.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4832 http://www.soldak.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4831&goto=newpost Sun, 13 May 2012 12:57:47 GMT Hi Shadow,

I haven't looked at the data for this game in a long while.

Is it possible to redesign the uniques beyond naming and perhaps icons:

1. Change the number of properties, the range of properties?
2. Make some properties fixed?
3. Grant a skill on an item? ]]> Depths of Peril modding fab http://www.soldak.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4831 http://www.soldak.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4830&goto=newpost Sat, 12 May 2012 16:55:07 GMT Were Steam keys ever issued or offered to those who purchased the game direct before it was on Steam?

I chose a hybrid archer/warlock as my class, but my summon spells don't seem to actually summon anything.

I think the 2 I tried were Summon Fury and Summon Chaos Lord. I could cast the spells in that my mana was decreased but there were no new monsters to be seen.

Am I missing something here? ]]> mravatar http://www.soldak.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4824 http://www.soldak.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4821&goto=newpost Tue, 08 May 2012 14:19:14 GMT We have a new interview over on Random tower of games (http://randomtower.blogspot.it/2012/05/steven-peeler-interview.html).

What is the approach in Drox Operative? I assume there will be some kind of background music, since there's usually not much in the way of ambient sounds in open space;
as well as a few tracks of music that play during combat. ]]> Drox Operative game Valgor http://www.soldak.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4818 http://www.soldak.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4817&goto=newpost Sat, 05 May 2012 11:50:05 GMT First of all I wanted to say that this is a great game,never enjoyed a hack & slash/rpg game since a long time,even better than the old Diablo 2.The multiplayer it's great. I would like to see getting newer updates and stuff,even if it's an indie game,it possess a lot of potential.

Now,my question is about the class build. I have made a warrior,with it's 3 subclasses Weaponmaster,Gladiator and Defender. I planned to do a tank character,with high hp and defense,focusing more on the defender side but the other two have sweet skills also,weaponmaster has all the masteries,whirlwind...gladiator attack,defense buffs etc.
I was confused in how can I build my class properly,focusing more in 1 or 2 subclasses or being a a jack of all trades build? ]]> Kilgor http://www.soldak.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4817
