Circle of Eight Modpack v7 / v7 NC General Commentary & Discussion Thread

Resting. I think I've discovered that if you kill Senshock you disable mobs from ever spawning again.

 

Love many of the changes in 7.7NC.

The few I have noticed are:
- Multiclass casters have access to all spells in both classes.
- Armor oil works correctly with Mithril Plate.
- Dire Bear location in Hickory Branch (makes for a deadly fight)

Game is running very smoothly from a fresh start with 7.7 NC.
My reach weapon fighters are working normally.

The only bug I have is the AI for the summoned monsters and animal companion.
They don't engage during fights, usually stand still and ready actions.
Sometimes they run around the enemies and draw attacks of opportunity.
I'm finding it to be a Druid nerf.

Is there a setting to control the pet animal AI?

Thanks.

 

Pet AI was changed to keep them from suiciding so much.

"• Reworked animal companion strategies so they are less self-destructive."

 

LOL, I find they die faster now by drawing attacks of opportunity from all the enemies instead of engaging one target.

I never had much of a problem with my pets dying because I would buff and heal them.
Like any self respecting druid should.

Now I find the animals just get in the way so I don't summon anymore.

 

Correct, it definately appears that way. Senshock is the only soul left alive on level 4 and as soon as I kill him, resting is no longer interrupted, ever.

 

I've tried using the search function for this but I think I'm not using the right terms so here's my question: if my CE party has accepted the 'Where For Art Thou Armilio?' quest from Gremeg, should Smigal be attacking them on sight as soon as they open her door? My sorcerer hit her with Tasha's Uncontrollable Laughter and as my barbarian and commanded undead were pounding her, she broke out into her usual script. I played to my alignment and finished her off rather than talk to her (IMO CE and LG tend to act alike in some circumstances- it's just the reasons that vary ). Should I go back to a previous save before this happened or should I just carry maniacally on?

 

Slight glitch in Nulb in v.7.7: after defeating Smigal and the wizard and retrieving the Golden Skull I returned to Nulb to store my loot. I opened the lower most chest and attempted to rearrange the items inside before putting in new ones- and found that the chest refused to store them. After a bit of experimentation I found that the right top storage square and the 1st storage square on the second row refused to hold any item I attempted to place there- the other storage squares worked fine.

Checking my characters' inventory screens I found that my wizard (occupying the 5th slot) had the bottom right most storage square removed and it was actually above the top of the border that makes up the inventory screen. I saved the game in a new slot and quit- and found the infamous Microsoft screen message about the program not responding (not sure if it was running in the background or didn't start until I actually quit the game). Fortunately once I restarted the game everything worked as normal...

 

Did the check you gave to Preston Wetz bounce?

 

I also have seen the chest glitch.It dose'nt happen every game,but when it dose it's evry chest.It's rare to see it happen though.

 

I'm just finishing up 7.6, and I've encountered an oddity. I have somehow managed to complete "Demons and Demigods", but not "Lords and Ladies" (which is still listed as "Accepted" in my log). Any ideas on what I can do to complete "Lords and Ladies" at this point?

 

Maybe it has something to do with multiple items of the same type? I had 2 mitheral chain shirts in the chest and 1 in my character's inventory, as well as 2 elven shields in the chest and 1 in inventory. I also tried to move the items around in the chest w/o taking them into inventory first...

 

Gehennis this happens even if you "take all",and then try to put things back in the chest.
