It seems leech on the sewers are infinite, impossible to pass through. Does someone notice the same thing?

[Adamo]

testing beta.. I`m currently ill

Spoiler

FEWER AND SWEAT TROUBLE YOU,
CHILLS AND TEMBLORS RUN ALONG YOUR BODY,
YOU FEEL NAUSEOUS AND SICK,
YOUR BONES FEEL ICY AND FRAGILE

. My party is seriously ill;

Spoiler

drinking sar wines and juices cannot cure them.

I don`t know how to get rid of these diseases.

[Crashone]

we are all in the same situation, Zyx investigate...

[Crashone]

Spoiler

I've got this sticky plasma in my hand for half an hour now, can get rid of it.

can someone help me?

Edit: OK finally found the trick

[Crashone]

I'm not quite sure, but may be another bug:

Spoiler

When you pass the trial, what ever item you put back in the alcove, you finish in hell (usually the good answer is the crown)

[beowuuf]

Spoiler

Actually, the good answer is putting the crown AND sword back.

[Crashone]

Ok, there is a bug and I've found it:

Spoiler

The answer with crown only works well, I've already pass through this with others party, but the fact is I have a pride crown already in my inventory (won it with the "head or tails" game in the giggler's game) so I have to put back my 2 crows and it works perfectly ^^

[beowuuf]

Spoiler

It's not really a bug so much as you being too prideful to pass the trial if you walk around wit hthe trial of pride

I've noticed sewers tend to be borked with monsters quite often. Back in a day it were trollins... now it's leeches and slugs-for-a-butt

[beowuuf]

I believe the sewer creatures activate to ensure you don't just stand near the stairs and train your socks off. I might be wrong, of course!

(it says it's the beta 3 at the start but it's really the 4)

You can send me your savegames for hotfixes.

[Suule]

Hey! it works now! I can cure my diseases easily!

Off to the sewers I go!

[Crashone]

Works fine now, thx

You mean something that is called "Spiked Wyrm" in the dead monster counter?
There are a lot of them; during exploration of sewers, I killed 272!
Yeah, it`s hard. But that`s good. The "wyrm" area is one of the challenges that I like most
I think it should stay as it is (or was - now I`m playing updated beta and met paralyzing monster in a sewers, which wasn`t here before).

If you want to enter their area, don`t go without a bottle!

Zyx:

Spoiler

In a previous version I couldn`t cure my party by drinking juices (press out to the bottle) nor by making a cure potions. Now it is possible both ways. IMO curing character from a diseases should be possible only by special actions: drinking juices (from both cewer pods or plums and drinking wines - there are lot of them). Eventually there should be some special spell for experienced priests. Otherwise the whole diseases mechanisms would be vain.

[Zyx]

Each disease will have its own resistance to potions for the next version.

[Suule]

Well so far no bugs. Cleared the temple, but I still have trouble concerning the

Spoiler

lost wand. Any tips there? I know I have to chase the items but... I don't really know what I'm doing wrong.

. I also found the officers canteen through the

Spoiler

Retirement room teleport

. The sewers are possibly undoable for me since the amount of trollins, bugs and theives make it hard for me to progress anywhere.

[Crashone]

accidentally cast a Zo spell and now, lot of my equipment is cursed. Didn't found anything helpul on the forum exept it needs a "blessing", any idea how to process?

I've found a bug on the spider lvl, sometimes when i fight sipders, my spells are canceled by web, but I've not a web on my screen, most of the time it works ok.

[beowuuf]

AS a hint - sounds like blessings are distributed by priests, thought as you may have spotted the ones in conflux are a little corrupt so might not give them out for free.

Explicitly:

Spoiler

In the temple, on the wall behind the high priest, is a coin slot that distribtes an 'EE blessing' for money

[Crashone]

thx, it works fine

[Joramun]

I still have trouble concerning the lost wand.

The wand behaves like a mouse.

Spoiler

It will flee to its hole as soon as you approach it.

The sewers are possibly undoable for me since the amount of trollins, bugs and theives make it hard for me to progress anywhere.

The sewers are hard. I didn't test the last beta, but be patient and train everywhere else where it's not too hard.
Check the cellars and try to train there until you have topped all skills.

Spoiler

A priest can learn from its failures, even if he has no flask.

[Suule]

Oh so if

Spoiler

I found the wand in the hole, that's it? I'm not quite sure If I got the points for it so I'm asking...

And

Spoiler

My priests and wizards are very proficient, it's just the amount of monsters that's giving me the headache.

[beowuuf]

If there is a crush of monsters, surely poison clouds should make short work of them?

And yes, if you can got it, I htink you get the points. Unless you need to keep it to get the full points - that's the real trick

[Zyx]

@Suule: I'm working on the sewer population, but I need to investigate quite a lot to implement my solution. In the meantime would you send me a savegame so I can realize the source of the overpopulation?

[Suule]

Sorry for not responding for a while... yeah the problems seem to come from a rapid bug overpopulation. Sending the save file right now..

[Zyx]

Bug spotted. It will take a while before a fix. In the meanwhile I can disable the overgeneration in your savegames.

[Suule]

Yeah the server are more balanced on monster generation now. I'll explore them fully and give a full report on the bugs...

[Suule]

I passed the strong current. Wasn't that hard - until I saw half a hundred leeches there! I killed about 30 before I decided to stop. I think that's another 'overpopulation' that needs fixing.

(Trollins seem to generate a lot less frequently now, but I still say it would be better to tone them down a notch. ). Sending the savegame right now for fixing...

[Adamo]

That`s the beauty of sewers! I killed 272

[Suule]

I kind of want to make sure I'll get everything tested so no progression = BAD.
