    It's not. I would like anyone to be able to use my practice dummy, just like they can my crafting tables.

    Are you sure? :p

    You should be aware because there are at least two bugs:
    The counterpoint to this is: the less you increase the number the more attractive botting becomes to players who would not otherwise consider it.

    It would appear in the chat log thus serving its comedic purpose in player to player communication and NPCs would be able to use it in the conversation close-ups where it would be completely visible.

    It really doesn't, however the times where it completely fails to select a target anywhere near me tend to be the times where I'm too busy trying not to die because, despite repeatedly hitting the next target button, I'm targetting some mage that's run off instead of the four melee guys who have run up to be immediately in front of me.

    Is there a post somewhere which explains in detail how the targetting is supposed to work? If there was a detailed explanation I would be more willing to die a few times in order to pinpoint where the reality doesn't match the description.

    The question appears to refer specifically to Dolus.

    Thank you @DarkStarr. This Q&A post is far superior to the live post-mortems.

    A lot of people either aren't awake or don't have hours to pour through the same amount of information where we can read through this in 5-10 minutes. If you can dedicate more time to questions like this, it means more time for you guys to develop the game and get some rest in between.

    @DarkStarr - So you are saying that Harvesting skills will affect how many seeds you get from planting/picking crops?

    Great job, @DarkStarr and the rest of the team! All of us appreciate what you are doing, some more than others. I have been jazzed about this project since I heard about it. It's awesome to see it come into being! Keep it up!

    Thank you Starr. While the first of my questions was answered at the beginning of the telethon number 2&3 weren't- and are missing in the list:

    2) Is the NPC dialogue UI (bigger / different text window) and “zoom-in / background blur” going to be reworked before commercial launch
    3) Will we have phasing technology for quests beyond the current implementation with NPCs being replaced with “different” NPC?

    @DarkStarr would appreciate to have your answer, also as no3 is imho not answered in the post ep1 plan

    @DarkStarr


    I'd say this is about 75-80% of the time we kill a Cabalist. Imagine getting that after fighting 3+ Cabs regularly for 30 minutes. Not sure if this is by design or not, but it's definitely heartbreaking after a long fierce battle. I would think at least a hundred gold for beating one of these guys would be justifiable.

    The cabalists should drop the same amount of loot like the other boss types.

    And why not have a chest reward with loot for clearing a siege - something that can be shared within a group.

    There was an answer during the Telethon. They said they do want to add better sorting, plus search and other functionality. As far as I recall, there was no timeframe provided.

    Any clue on that drop rate? I'm only getting Lich Axe's. I've killed ~20 Ras'al'horag this evening. I'd really like to farm enough to be able to salvage and get a the skull sword pattern, but these swords are either non-existant or never going to drop enough for that to be realistic.

    I'd love to see more swords with hilts like this possibly featuring aspects of other mob types throughout the game (skulls, bones, skins, etc).

    Also, I went through the last 90 days of API stats and the only instance of the sword was it being destroyed in crafting.
