Curious Artila Viseroth Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 The game is great, but the tedious manner in which buffs are handled needs to change. Having to save constantly and reload every time I get into a battle so I can buff gets old VERY fast. I understand that the mana costs are part of the game's balance, but couldn't you at the very least allow us to set up a set of buffs that automatically get cast when a battle ensues?

Hatchling Cockatrice Slarti Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Agreed. However, A6 is actually a big improvement in this regard. In A4 and A5, the Haste spell was incredibly powerful (it doubled your AP every turn) but it only targetted one PC, so you had to cast Hate 4 times plus Blessing and Protection and so on all over and over...

Rotghroth Rhapsody waterplant Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Why would you bless and protect a PC that you hate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chittering Clawbug GIFTCockroach Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Cough A1-3 cough. The nightmares of casting 12 buffs per battle... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Slarti Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Didn't A1-3 have mass buffs though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chittering Clawbug GIFTCockroach Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 You didn't unlock them for some time though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody Soul of Wit Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Obviously, you can cast buffs while in battle. Only the most challenging battles would require you to be pre-buffed. Also, I find that you can see most enemies before they can see you. That leaves the ominous corner situation, which does happen a lot: suspicious corner ahead/save/round corner/yikes, it's a dozen creatures with high hit points/reload/buff/round corner/take that, suckers!

Kyshakk Koan -=microphage=- Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 You can always use leetbuffz. Several great buffs for entire party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, enter combat mode, sneak around corner and dodge back behind it if necessary, and the proceed with the buffing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
