so, does 1.2.0.12:
- overhaul the stats and skills of npcs you can recruit
- solve the extra spells learning bug on level up
- fix spell caster spell schools restrictions when learning spells from books
- make music instruments only playable by bards and only when equipped
- make some enemies immune or at least resistant to some musical instruments
- make stats like con actually add something to the amount of hit points one gains at level up
- solve the bug that drains a character of all his vitality when hit by certain enemies
- make party members not get sleepy after turning around a few times and walking a few squares regardless of their max vitality
- add meaningful key binds
- make the game stable enough for people not to have to reload when fighting big worms
?

Sounds like just a bunch of bitching tbh

Mac users: The other day I posted a wineskin wrapper to run Grimoire on Mac, and I've realized there was a problem with it. Although sound effects worked, it wasn't playing the MIDI music! Personally I had other music playing, so I didn't even notice. I've now fixed the problem and here is the new wrapper with everything working. It won't break your saves ;-)

Unzip, show package contents, & there is an empty Grimoire folder in Program Files. Copy your Grimoire files into this folder (no subfolders), and Bob's your uncle.

Good to see things have settled with 1.2.12 for Cleve. There was a good bit of pain on launch that unfortunately detracted from the quality of the content, which I can say at this point is on par with Bradley for me. That's about as high praise as I can give for anything Wizardry-like.

Onward and upward Cleve.

 

[Grauken]

I really like how every dungeon feels like its stuffed to the brim with things to do, at least in that regard I like it even more than Wiz7

Also, for some reason I really like the door lock word puzzles and the chest trap locks are neat as well

 

[Jaesun]

Yeah that was well thought out (and enjoyable).

Holy shit Deep Freeze has to be the most OP spell of all time. Instakills pretty much everything you encounter at the level you can get it.

Wow.

Avoid playing a bard on party to not break balance. Then you have Deep Freeze. Can't avoid breaking the balance. Sawyer followers hate this guy.

What is better than a bard or a Deep Freeze?

Bard with Halcyon Lute spamming infinite free Deep Freeze!

TBH I gave up on music instruments. Those graphic effects are slowing combat down, I'd rather just mow through the mobs with melee alone. Still keep them around for those boss fights, the Horror is probably impossible without paralyze spam.

 

[Nekot-The-Brave]

Why are people complaining about the interface? Like, it's not bad, shit, Like I literally cannot understand the complaints. The shit is easy to use and while not intuitive, it is not clumsy or shitty. "it takes so many clicks to do [x]" like, how? I mean, I saw Baxander do it the hard way of clicking the arrows to change actions instead of right clicking the box that shows all of the actions, but other than that, shit doesn't take more than 2 or so clicks to do anything, unless for instance your character is wielding both a melee AND a ranged weapon (like a lead ball) which requires you to click once for the type of attack, then which target, and again for the lead ball target. But like, you only need to do that once.

mondblunt, do you know how berserk works? So far, my berserker attacks my own people 100% of the time. Do you just have to keep letting him smack you around until he levels up far enough? At what point does he occasionally start hitting an enemy?

The only thing bad on UI is inventory. The "fuck, why Lands of lore's inventory" level.

Have you updated to 12? I was using 5 until now. This is probably the most stable release yet.

Same here. He pummeled my own guys most of the time but he did whiff on some bugs a few times. Ultimately a bad ability in my experience.

I dunno, I take full advantage of the exploit with berserking order sticking after berserker condition has expired Chance to attack proper targets might depend on skill, yes, but I haven't researched that.

I may change if I can't do something on .5.

 

[Baff]

My berserker skill is at 100, I still hit party members (for a lot of damage), though not as often.

I believe that Cleve fixed that particular exploit. He stops getting the bonus (and leveling the ability) after the condition wears off now.

 

[you know what time it is]

UI is killing me, I could barely handle Toady's level of autistic disregard for basic necessities, now there's two of them.

So it doesn't take you more than two clicks to get an item from your inventory once you have 50+ items including 20 identical looking scrolls?

Because it is bad and clumsy?

- SuperID'd items in the journal
- Inventory in general
- Autowalking in map
- Examining item details
- Comparing items
- Resistances window
- Lack of tool tips (or their functionality)
- Obvious keyboard shortcuts missing (GOD DAMN ESCAPE KEY)

This is a long game with a lot of repetition. Every pointless click is a pointless click too many.

 

[Musaab]

Then how long until the Enhanced Edition?

Should we wait until then to play?

?

Does constitution not increase hit points? Then does it only increase resistance?

next you'll be complaining that there are no quest markers

Would you kindly remain quiet while the grown ups are talking.

No, it doesn't.

Ok, it takes 3 clicks if I need to get a scroll out of the scroll case.

Sure buddy, while you complain about how hard it is to not play the game by auto walking I'll be sitting here and laughing at you in my childish way
