You cant imagine how glad I’m as a new player for these patch breakdowns 😬 only at ch2 and I don’t know ANY of the names etc. you’ve mentioned. Just makes me more stoked for the rest of the campaign ❤️
I envy you a little, so much exciting stuff ahead!
What's the deal with the coffee cup?
It used to have a pepper icon since release. Became quite memetic :)
Hey Starrok, I’m assuming the magical vestment stacking is dead from my reading of it? It will stack on magic armors but only to the +5? This basically already kills armor stacking which was already inferior to mage armor master/monk/oracle dips?
Can we expect additional balancing of the games encounters in Core+ since you guys know monk/oracle dips are required in hard+? I know people like their goofy munchkin-ing builds. We really got to reign in some of the ridiculous things that shouldn’t stack. But encounters have to be balanced to compensate.
Besides that these changes are all very good.
Also: Angel's Ward Against Weakness didn't protect from ability drain – fixed;
So that was why my characters were getting drained. Nice change
I'll check this with the gamedesign team.
Read moreWhoo, going to be spending my morning going through this stuff to figure out which of the things I have reported have been fixed (and therefore which guides need to be updated). I can already see a few fixes in the patch notes.
Aeon's line in Regill's personal quest now works correctly;
After defeating Steward of the Skein, mythic Lich now gets an appropriate reward;
The reward for Aeon from Xanthir has been updated.
Edit: I now think I need to do a dance over that Regill Aeon line because that thing drove me crazy when I was trying to map out how Regill's personal quest worked because I would sometimes choose it and then not understand why Regill was randomly disapproving over me doing the whole quest perfectly. I guess I was just being too lawful for him to comprehend without a firmware update. :P
For those that are curious the rewards (assuming 1.4 didn't change them) mentioned are:
- (Aeon) ...
:D
Okay now time to wait on this post to see what changes are good/bad/unfair/ridiculous/isfinallyhere/ whatever appropriate description is used
*grabs popcorn as well*
Thanks for the incredible game, and thanks for the 100s of hours of enjoyment. As a developer I can't imagine how many man-hours it took to make this piece of art but I'm grateful! Thanks to the team for all the work
Thanks for all the support!
But it wouldn't prevent piracy at all? Pirates by definition are not ever seeing or agreeing to your EULA so they haven't agreed to anything. It's entirely different intellectual property laws which vary wildly by country that attempt to prevent piracy.
Also, if what you're saying is truly representative of Owlcat's opinion on the matter, I'm of the opinion that you should change the wording immediately. Saying essentially that "all mods are banned unless explicitly given permission" is an extremely poor way of expressing your stated opinion that "all mods are allowed unless they do something wrong." Consider changing it to something closer to Paradox's modding policy which freely allows anyone to create mods while still retaining the authority to revoke that right if they deem it necessary.
It's worded that way intentionally by a dedicated team of people who handle the legal stuff. I'm not much into this area personally, so don't expect me to explain in detail, but I know it's there for a reason and provides protection from certain unpleasant situations and a way to easily act on them if needed. May be reviewed for Rogue Trader in some way, but I don't think anything will change for Wrath.
So this isn't something Owlcat's gonna start trying to enforce.....right? Because for me, the toolbox mod or whatever its called is like fundamentally necessary.
Nah. It's there mostly to prevent piracy and have a legal base in case an offensive, disturbing or malware-containing mod is published. If the mod author isn't doing anything crazy and isn't having any malicious intent, they have nothing to worry about.
In fact, it's the opposite - we actively encourage modding. Enough to say, Turn Based mode came into the game thanks to the existance of a mod that demonstrated us there's a big demand for it.
I'm going to be "that guy" and say that the idiom is "off the top of my head". /s
Why, thanks, always good to learn! :)
*Plants some Marshmellows on his Pitchforck and lightens an small campfire*.
Damn, you made me also want some marshmellows now ;[
So to sum up this thread, you need permission from owlcat to publish mods (standard to be able to depublish unwanted mods, but still worrying for aynone spending hours enhancing your game for free), but you don't really monitor the email box you need for permission, because no one uses it anyways?
I really dislike this attitude, it's not very hard to auto forward these mails and make sure they're never missed, as you should be aware that mods / modability are a big reason for some people to buy them.
That's a fair point and we're already taking measures :) If you're experiencing any issues at reaching us through any channel, let me know here or on Discord.
Out of curiosity: Where there any modders that asked for permission except the Woljif romance mod? And if yes were any ever denied?
Some asked. None were denied.
I'd like to point out that the email address you direct to in the EULA for permission isn't monitored, at least it wasn't last time I talked to owlcat. I attempted to use it and it is basically just a black hole.
We do look there from time to time, but it's indeed rarely checked because traffic there is low to say the least. If you don't receive the response in time, you can always reach for us via any of our other social media. Or even write to me directly here or on Discord.
I mean it kind of is?
This is quite literally the most non-issue issue i have ever seen even with the whole "owlcat might be selling your information to tecent" stupid bullshit because some idiot that read the EULA for 5 seconds came to that paranoid conclusion.
Has owlcat ever actually enforced this stupid shit? Something tells me no and they probably can't even if they wanted to.
Nope. It's mostly a lever in case some malware, offensive or illegal stuff gets distributed as a mod for our game. Not a single such case has been registered so far.
But I want to burn something, I have already my torch out.
You may start with some heretics in Rogue Trader :P

False alarm, it's a standard EULA which was there since release. There were no changes neither in contents of the EULA nor in our politics regarding player-generated content. Chill.
They probably can't enforce it for most things even if they wanted to. Most likely it exists to give them enough power to handle egregious situations, like people who are mass seeding pirated copies with injected malicious code, not to go after every mod author.
Kind of, yes. It's a standard legal agreement, and out of my head I don't remember even a single case where we would use it to actually enforce something on the author.
I saw someone mention that Owlcat may have doubled down/actually be cracking down on it or something similar.
That's just blatantly not true. Our stance on mods and community content hasn't seen any changes.
Hello. There were no changes to EULA since release of the game and this section had always been there. It's a pretty standard document used by most games. If the EULA popped up again during startup, it could be due to a settings refresh or corrupted file being restored after a file checkup.
