Fledgling Fyora Chrysolepis Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Forgive me if this has already been asked and answered, but I can't tell if the Shadowwalker's "Shadowstep" is a really great or very buggy ability. After using it, there is a long pause in which you can actually use up to 3 other shadowalker abilities so long as they don't require targeting and you do them in the right order. My favorite is to Shadowstep, do Shadowwalker's Focus, Heal, and then do the Blade Whirlwind. You can also opt for the flash powder, though the graphic takes a long time to resolve and I haven't had much luck fitting in anything after it. In my mind, performing these abilities as a coda to Shadowstep is a logical expression of this ability, with it's focus on great speed and sneakiness. However, sometimes some strange debug code appears at the bottom, making me doubt that it's supposed to happen. Also, one time I activated an ability while in mid-Shadowstep and for some reason I was teleported OFF of the map: standing on the opposite side of a rock wall in Jhereth Deeps that was supposed to bound the map area, far from my party still in the fight. Suspicious but really a fun ability especially given that a lot of the Shadowwalker's powers on the right side don't really seem to pack enough punch on their own.

Unflappable Drayk Ceiling Durkheim Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 That definitely sounds like a bug, both in that it's drastically overpowered and that it seems to confuse the workings of the game. Thematically appropriate or not, even a for a character with battle frenzy it's extremely difficult to get three actions in a turn, so it stands to reason that an ability that lets a character use four (counting the initial shadowstep) is a bit broken. If this has come up, I haven't seen it. You should mention it to Jeff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall A less presumptuous name. Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 There are definitely issues with being able to use abilities after your turn ends but before the next one begins. The longer your turn takes to finish up (and it sounds like this ability takes a while, I haven't actually used it yet), the more "bonus abilities" you can get it. They are definitely not supposed to be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 That's a bug. Any time you are able to use an ability right after using another ability (without having AP left over) it's a bug. These have been mentioned here, but I haven't heard any response from Jeff.

Well-Actually War Trall Spidweb Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 This is bug, and I've already fixed it. (And I did respond to the thread in which it was first reported. Fixed in v1.0.2. - Jeff Vogel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
