    I used some of my voratun to buy Ashes, which I downloaded and stuck in the folder it told me to. It doesn't, however, show up in my add-ons list, and there doesn't appear to be a way to activate it. I'm sure I am just missing something simple, stupid and obvious, but if you have any advice on how to proceed I would be deeply grateful.

    While I have you here, I just have to say that I love this game. You have crafted something truly amazing here. I have been a huge fan of roguelikes since I was a kid (played uMoria back in the day on Shareware release, that was my first), and this is by far the most engaging and challenging one I have ever encountered, with the POSSIBLE exception of ADOM (also a really challenging game that I love dearly). I also think that you have an amazing way of marketing your game; the fact that it is free to download and play, fully featured, and yet offers additional features for donating is wonderful, and your in-game donation request was so well written and so un-obtrusive that I felt an immediate urge to help out... especially since I love TOME so much.

    Hi

    I've checked, seems like something got stuck :/
    I've unstuck it though :) Sorry for the waiting

    I think the coins take a few days to show up from what I've noticed in the past. Or maybe just a day or two. But, I thought you got access to all the donator content automatically for a donation of any size, but maybe that was changed with the latest DLC.

    Or it might be the non-updating profiles thing, I haven't noticed/heard anything about that yet.

  • Donation Content Not Working, Please Help!   11 years 31 weeks ago

    The coins have not been credited to my account. My voratun balance is 0, and I haven't any idea where to go from here. Any ideas? Maybe it's related to the non-updating profiles thing?

    Donating gets you voratun coins, which you can spend on things. 60 coins gets you the features you mention, and I believe 40 coins gets the new demon DLC. It works this way presumably so that you can choose what you want in what order.

    You're certainly listed as a donator, so you should have coins in your balance, if you haven't spent them yet then investigate. If you have... Seek further support, and good luck.

    oh, the story of alchemist. very intersting!

  • Ashes of Urh'Rok released!   11 years 31 weeks ago

    I'm buying this expansion right now on te4 site and I have the game on steam already.
    I'm curious if I'll be able to get next expansions by Steam?

  • Tales of Maj'Eyal 1.2.5 aka "Back and back and back to the future" is released!   11 years 31 weeks ago

    "When pressing space to talk without being subscribed to any channel, a warning is displayed"

    From an experience design standpoint, should this perhaps redirect to a "select channel" dialog rather than throwing up a warning?

  • Item Link Verification   11 years 31 weeks ago

    Absolutely fantastic. I have thought forever that this should be stock functionality and I am thrilled that you made it.

  • Ashes of Urh'Rok released!   11 years 31 weeks ago

    Huge fan here. Heard of release of Ashes of Urh'Rok and rushed to buy. Bought Tales a long time ago. Tried to buy Ashes of Urh'Rok thru steam and was informed I needed to buy tales first. Tried to buy Ashes of Urh'Rok thru TE4 website and was informed I didn't have enough coins. So, donated 5 euro and got 50 coins. Now I go to the Ashes of Urh'Rok page and click the 'Get it now' button at the bottom, only to be told I still don't have enough coins.

    Why isn't this incredibly easy? What am I doing wrong?

  • Warlock Class   11 years 31 weeks ago

    Initial thoughts:

    Initial mana cost on Shadow Bolt seemed a bit high: It was a bit more then a third of my mana pool each cast! I also feel like they could use another unlocked tree. 3 unlocked class trees and 4 unlocked ones is a bit odd.

    Tooltips are confusing for the summons. What's the difference between summoning a succubus and a...Felguard, was it? The description for the latter calls it a succubus, with no differentiation from the other talent.

    There's a few general typos(Particularly for the succubus talent, as well as "your mindpower enhance the pet" for other summons). It's a case of missing plurals, mostly. Should be enhances in the example(And fights not fight for the Succubus). It's one of those things that's no huge problem since it's a beta, though. Just figured I'd point it out.

  • Warlock Class   11 years 31 weeks ago

    I need to balance the things before to advance to beta stage, correct the bugs and so on... In general things to do:

    Temporary demons
    Damage balance
    General balance
    Quests specific for the class
    Bugs.. bugs... more bugs :P

    so i need all the testing we can do!

  • Warlock Class   11 years 31 weeks ago

    For the weirdest reasons, this reminds me of the Warlock from TL2's Synergies mod. Maybe just the use of the name emberstones? Hehe.

    Looks good so far, though. Can't wait to see what you do with it. :C

  • No "Into Darkness Quest" quest chain   11 years 31 weeks ago

    I believe it'll show up as soon as you kill one of the bosses for it, at the latest.

  • ZOmnibus Addon Pack   11 years 31 weeks ago

    could you please make a UI thing to help save characters from bad game loads where the UI is operational? it would be accessed from the thing on the right side of the ui where you can save game etc...what it would do is increment the lives left count by one then nuke the character with 100 thousand points of damage with 1000 percent resistance penetration. this should send the character to the afterlife where upon if they return to the mortal plane the game should fix the previous bad load.

  • question regarding online/offline mode   11 years 31 weeks ago

    I also find this bothersome. Perhaps each time you log in, the game could drop a token on your machine that validates it for 24 hours. That way you only have to "phone home" once a day, instead of constantly.

  • question regarding online/offline mode   11 years 31 weeks ago

    I totally understand why some things are authenticated before working and while most* of the time it doesn't affect me I get that it's a big deal for some people. When my internet has gone out similar things have definitely annoyed me. Seems to be a big sticking point for people at GoG as well (understandably I suppose given the general stand of the site). Hopefully eventually a useful solution can be found that still serves some of the original intent.

    • if I play during my commute I never have internet, although ToME doesn't easily lend itself to comfortable play on what I use then. If it did I'd frequently be running into this I imagine
  • Tales of Maj'Eyal is now on GoG !   11 years 31 weeks ago

    I seem to recall reading somewhere that grabbing the base game from another service (Steam for example) would give you a number of Voratun Coins equivalent to the purchasing price, is this true/still valid?

    If I donated directly to you, and then purchased the expansion (Plus base game? DLC mentions specifically that one needs to 'Buy the base game either here or elsewhere', not seeing a pricetag/option on the here outside of general donating) is there a service similar to the link-it-to-steam for GoG?

  • Arcanum Class Pack   11 years 31 weeks ago

    i feel you should get a token if you return tarelion's lost staff to it's rightful owner :)

    its a randart drop that has the dude's name in it's title. says that he lost it even. so it stands to reason that he's be grateful if you returned it to him. furthermore if the randart does not show up then no toke. so it's down to luck if you get it or not. plus you could keep it if you want to.

    I also feel that the academy is not unbalanced. it does not really do that much for you to be honest a few magic based talent trees aren't going to improve your power all that much. in fact; you could give several more tokens without unbalancing the game.

  • Thievery   11 years 31 weeks ago

    Okay, finally did the quest. It was pretty neat, though...um....the Everything Is Unique add-on made it...how shall I put this?...completely insane. :P

    But that's an issue on my end, not yours. I chose to use that add-on. I really enjoyed the quest otherwise, though the initial quest dialogue after I return to the main map following siding with the Assassin Lord seemed to be missing text that was hidden beneath the bottom limits of the dialog box. I was on 1434 X 781 Windowed video resolution, and all I saw was the first line. It wasn't a huge deal since I could check my quests page to see what I was supposed to do, but I imagine you'd want to fix that anyway. Otherwise, nice add-on. It had no bugs that I could discern (aside from the abovementioned) and it provided a real challenge and solid interactive content.
