My god.... you should see my email storage after this.

Also had to put all of that into code due to some shi.tty forum limits.

Also I just fixed some stuff and added new translations to the Czech version of TxtEdit for GrayFace, but I just send it to him, so I have no idea when those changes will be applied.

Has a "shuffled main quest items mode" been considered, to encourage hopping continents periodically as opposed to doing them in sequence? Since there's no real incentive to hop continents without completing them first, there's a tendency for players to go through and complete the game one continent at a time, which is a significant balance problem if the starting continent is anything other than Jadame (even at max bolster).

Are you sure there is such tendency? IMHO it is much easier to hop between continents all the time to pass certain quest, get certain items, collect treasures or even check the high-end shops. Though, bolster might need some fix in any case. And for parties w/o town portal it is a completely different story.

THANK YOU!

I can't reproduce the bug where guards in the pit don't react to bounty monsters - savegame at https://1fichier.com/?w1ph2yomrcxfvfkx6o78
What I see is that the guards that are not killed fight back; I was 100% sure that the OTHER guards would also intervene, but apparently this savegame proves my memory wrong

You are welcome! I cannot reproduce the bug either. I guess, it will be closed if it is not reproduced by anyone in reasonable time.

[Templayer]

Well, now, THAT was quick...

Started in Enroth, finished it. Then to Antagarich...high-level Knight fights can be quite stimulating. Anyway, ripping through the promotion quests, got the dwarves done. Talk to the ambassadors, then bop back and forth to make sure the elves and Erathia are nicely at each others' throats. Start in Erathia, finish by dropping off the plans in the Forest.

So as I exit the castle...BOOM!! Messenger arrives saying the war's on. Excellent. Fly up, grab trumpet...no reason to wait. Head back, turn in to the Arbiter of course. Boom. Sweet, done. Next up was to the castle, because the chests there are my favorite long-term storage location. Drop off some of the stuff that's needed for Verdant later. What to do now....

Undecided, I head out of the castle. BAM!!! Guess who just died....

Whole thing took a day, mostly because I finished Riverstride after the elven throne room was closed down for the night. Quite a pleasant surprise there.

The thing with the Judge was already reported, so I appended your report:
Returned Gryphonheart’s Trumpet, judge Gray died the same day

Since you do not have a gitlab account, you haven't been notified - both a savegame and a video of this was provided.

As Templayer would say, don't remind me
Anyway, I've seen the video, but the savegame doesn't have it - when I went to White Cap there was an NPC called Gwendolyn and her face was absolutely normal; exited the game, retried and there's nobody; re-retried, two NPCs in Free Haven & White Cap (I thought the faceless NPC was in the adventurer's inn), both with their faces looking alright.

Mea culpa: I didn't realize at first that the team is the same as in the video... even so everything looks fine on my end, can you make a savegame right where it happens or is it only in the experimental branch?

UPDATE: Sibernethy had a VERY faulty installation of MMMerge, Emjayen tested his own MMMerge files against Sibernethy´s MMMerge files and posted a screenshot on the matter: https://media.discordapp.net/attachment ... height=618

Sibernethy reinstalled the entire thing and now those funky bugs (Cleric having an out-of-body experience - that bug became a meme - and "corrupted followers" bug) are all gone, so this issue is closed. You can add that one as "Solved" on GitLab too for any other people that have the "corrupted followers" bug.

Ok, first of all, andrey, very nice profile picture, and 2nd of all, I have a suggestion regarding Ability trainers in Enroth (MM6 setting).

Dark Elf Ability:
-> Expert would be located in the same house where the guy with "Evil Crystal in Temple of the Fist" in Bootleg Bay is, since after the quest is complete, said questgiver would then vanish, thus leaving the house solely to the teacher
-> Master + Gradmaster would be in one of the empty (not working in base MM6) houses in Free Haven

Vampire Ability:
-> Expert would be located in a lonely inn right at the edge of the swampland in Mire of the Damned
-> Master + Grandmaster would be in the same house the questgiver for Book of Liches is (since in base MM6, that guy also vanishes from the house once the Book of Liches quest is done) inside the town/village of Darkmoor

Dragon Ability:
-> Expert would be located either with Abdul or, if the space there is already too filled, with one of the item traders (misc. item trader?) at Abdul´s Desert Resort in Dragonsand. It´d use MM7 Baby Dragon image as its icon/profile
-> Master + Grandmaster would be Blaze the Circus Master himself, since in base MM6, he only has 2 dialogue lines, thus adding 2 more shouldn´t be too much of a problem:


I can write the dialogues down if you or others so wish.

So I was thinking about the Merge lately and while I'd love to just find an answer myself this topic is way too active for it (which makes me very glad!).

My question is - has there been any more thought given to creating a static difficulty curve for the Merge as an alternative to bolstering? I've always hoped there would be one eventually cause I think it'd be very cool if you had to travel between continents to power up (or, alternatively, take on a challenge of completing X part only giving a potentially fun replayability for all three parts "on steroids").

I always preferred static worlds in open world games, Skyrim/Oblivion are awful in this regard and bless the modders than changed that! There's just something so satisfying about going back to a location that kicked my ass before and returning the favor.

If you check the Community Branch at GitLab, Fanasilver made a (now toggleable thanks to cthscr) modification to the Bolster Monster mechanic so that now the difficulty curve is a bit better in my opinion.

Probably happens due to high res textures not aligning properly after it's picked up. Sadly I forgot to try it without the wrapper.

Is the wrapper even necessary with the newest GF patch?

Are you sure there is such tendency? IMHO it is much easier to hop between continents all the time to pass certain quest, get certain items, collect treasures or even check the high-end shops. Though, bolster might need some fix in any case. And for parties w/o town portal it is a completely different story.

I agree. Plus, some trainers are much easier to reach (or achieve) on particular continents than others, and IIRC in some cases it's easier to fulfill some prereqs on certain continents. If you take grandmaster alchemy, then hopping for reagents can help. Finally, you can hit all the shrines, altars, skill challenges, etc. for those boosts. They add up...and several repop. This is really good even if you're limited to Town Portal; to exploit the shrines in MM6, I do a lot of training at Ironfist in small doses of a couple levels, to leave time to hit the various shrines. Oh, and in this strategy, if you don't have Lloyd's, or if you have only 1 character with Lloyd's and want to conserve your Beacon spots...find a Pathfinder. Map crossings take 3 days less...so 2 days for most of em. That makes it faster than the travel schedules.
