I replaced Fey Clones with Fey Luck to stop the apparent clone bug. I know exactly enough Lua to know to not bother trying to fix the clone process to stop the infinite clones as it is beyond my skill level. Instead I mostly replaced it wholesale with the equal Light Faerie perk and commented out the original perk.

Edit: Have http://forums.te4.org/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=39240 for a forum thread.

DarkGod... DarkGod...

You are a master when we are speaking about your game. But... I am sorry... You are not so good with your marketing talents :-p.

No news for 6 month. And then you publish a Giant post with at least 5 huge news (1.6, Annihilator, (microtransactions), new DLC, Engine)...

You could have published 1 news/month since November 2018.

Still, I am really happy to hear from you. I too was thinking that tome was maybe not updated anymore...

(And it's even more important on steam. With all the "abandonwares" there , steam users are now used to check the news/forum to see if the dev are still alive/active or not, before buying something. I never thought that a game like TOME with such a high evaluation score could be "Non suggested" by steam.... It's crazy... Such a great great game).

When I play infinite dungeon,

Buff-removing/ effect-removing talents are just too powerful at high level(80+)

Regardless of how many buffs I have, they just vaporize with enemy's disperse magic. And my poor naked character dies in few turns.

Same as antimagic talents.

I think Disperse magic/Entropy or similor talents should be subject of saving, and ther effect should be nerfted at high level .
because they eliminate conterplay

Okay, I met Zemek on a Temporal Rift level in ID (same basic layout and topographical features as the first level of the temporal rift in Daikara. ) He seemed inexplicably angry with me -- he shouted "You there!" and attacked. Luckily, he was a one-hit kill. AFAIK, I didn't do anything to him. I just walked around a corner and he was already pissed off at me. He did happen to be right next to a dreaming horror, though I couldn't see how that would be relevant. He was Faction: Enemies (hostile, -100) and Personal Reaction: hostile, -100. I had killed other monsters on the level but hadn't killed any of the dream seeds and didn't kill anything in his LOS. Maybe the nature of the ID automatically generates him as a monster/enemy? The quest for that level was killing a dreaming horror Boss (a different dreaming horror, actually -- there were *three* dreaming horrors on that level, which is a pretty rare sight, thankfully.) I mention this because some quests are "Extermination," which means killing every single enemy on the level; had that been the quest, I wouldn't have been surprised that Zemek would be generated as hostile. But it wasn't, so there's probably some other reason involved here.

(Re my last comment, I forgot to tell you that the Lost Arcane Vendor sells staves and wands, just so you know what kind of goods are associated with the merchant that sells the spells and trees in the ID.)

Any chance I can just fork over lets say $100 or something now and get a "season pass" for the cosmetics? I wanna get that out of the way and then just continue supporting you by buying every new expansion twice over steam and GOG like I have been doing since embers.

On a serious note, don't mind packs but for convenience I would appreciate the option of getting all available packs upfront than slowly getting them. But then again there is this game called Logistical on steam that offers an all-in-one pack where you can buy all available DLCs at the current point in time at a discounted price. Once you purchased that pack, the other DLCs released in the future can be purchased at a discount through how steam offers you discounted price for completing their bundles.

At the end of the day, whatever the price may be as long as it isn't predatory then I will support you all the way since your releases have always been high quality content that gives bang for your buck.

Grats!

Aww thanks :) And it is not going to be a MTX per cosmetic item, that'd be silly :) It's a MTX per pack of cosmetic items; like say the pyromaniac pack with one or more cosmetic item per item types, plus a few other things sometimes like new hairs, beards, ... I'm not sure on the price yet; ideas welcome :)

Can't remember my Steam name/password, so I'm posting here with the understanding that you can't reply (at least not until DG fixes your commenting problem) ID levels generally have between 0-3 shops. They're just like shops in town -- none of them involve free-standing characters, just shop icons you move into and get a series of options (or just a list of their wares if they don't offer any services except selling their stuff.) They have fairly generic names like Lost Destructive Devices, Arcane Vendor, Lost Sniper, Lost Alchemist (I'm looking at that last one right now) etc. I'm pretty sure the name of the seller of all the trees was just Lost Arcane Vendor. I haven't seen such services in any other shop except Destructive Devices, and, I think, the Lost Sniper shop, and they offered the generic Combat tree, just like you can get in Last Hope or basic use of bows and slings at the Sniper, both of which were at the same prices as Last Hope. The basic spell trees were offered at 100 apiece, with 500 to unlock, so I assume the combat stuff comes from the main game rather than your add-on, if that information helps you narrow down the mechanism.

(I don't know how much you've played the ID, so if you already know this stuff about the mechanics of the ID, I apologize. )

EDIT: Finally found another Lost Arcane Vendor. As a frame of reference: the character is a mindslayer, with no magical ability whatsoever. The options are: stone alchemy, arcane, aether, aegis, element air, element fire, element earth, element water, teleportation, advanced elemental spells, alchemy, necromancy. Everything up until advanced elemental spells is 100 to get category, 500 to unlock, 750 to refine. Advanced elemental just tells me he can't teach me that. Alchemy directs me to the hermit. Necromancy directs me to pale-skinned lady (Celia, I'm guessing?)

Since you don't list it as completed, I think you may have inadvertently actually created a mechanism that works in the ID. I stopped by an arcane vendor and he (or she) had the basic elemental spells (air, fire, earth, and water) available for learning/upgrading. There was also an option for advanced elemental spells that he wasn't willing to teach me even though I had well in excess of 1500 gp. The alchemy and necromancy offers just told me to go to (place, I don't recall) to learn those.

I'm pretty sure I've covered what happened accurately. Unfortunately, the character died and I restarted it as a new character before I remember to write down what happened. I'm still doing ID, so I'll keep an eye out for another arcane vendor. Honestly, I would double the prices. Lots of character classes end up with plenty of spare points without a necessary tree to use them on, especially generic points. Melee classes tend to do that more than magic/mental ones, too, and they're the ones that would get the most use out of spells, so it's sort of doubling up in the advantage they have. (And you can get extra points by doing level-specific quests in ID, which also factors in.) Raising the prices a bit seems to be the best way to get the balance right.

Not that I minded being able to add four categories of spells in one fell swoop.

.

I'm not in a position to donate or anything, but I just want to say to you DarkGod, you're awesome keep up the good work.

I can't think of many developers with such a decent stance on p2w and treating players fairly, communicating with audience, updating the base games /and/ expansions for no extra fee, etc.

You're doing a great job, despite difficulties you may be having in life, and that should be recognised!

Super stoked for all of this. I hadn't given up on you yet, but I was wondering why you'd been so quiet :)
