That HUD looks sick. I won't lie I've been using the alternative HUD which works well except for the armour and fletchette count but I've just keybound the + / - on my mouse 4 and 5 so I can quickly zoom in and out to check armour and fletchette count, with that new HUD though it'll be perfect.
Yea Mace of Contrition is sick, I was very surprised when I got to level 7 and I got this shockwave ability, because of the mana costs I've added to the serpent staff I've had to be quite conservative with the staff, but with the Mace I've had some very interesting combinations. Like if there's a stack of afrits or chaos serpents in a tight corridor or cave, I'll throw out a few fletchettes to gas them and then send some contrition shockwaves to finish them off, and the shield bounces there fireballs which is sick.
The way the game is now it's incentivising me to use all available resource so the mace is getting action, serpent staff. Firestorm for hectic situations and bosses. Fletchettes going out by the dozen, shield for defence. Then converting blue mana to power green and red, healing with red mana or using quartz, and the crafting as well. Been smashing those potions of excellences to get lots of stats.
Really really amazing, makes all the resources and situations in the game so much more valuable. Nothing is redundant.
I'll put Wraithverge back to 18, I didn't know there was a secondary fire. God knows what that's going to be like, gonna have to be strapped to my seat for that one haha.
You're probably right about the three mana types, the only thing I can think of is maybe a much cheaper three mana cost rather than a higher two mana cost but then actually maybe two mana makes more sense. I quite like being able to convert mana and shuffle it around so I'm powering the weapons required as I need them.
I forgot there was an expansion and didn't realise there was a wad that combined the two. So far of not had any issues. I've not got stuck in any boss rooms or had anything break but I'm only up to Castle of Grief. Looking at it it's all working perfect. I'll download the megawad though if that's what it's meant to be played on.
Thanks for your quick and detailed reply and don't beat yourself up with delays and stuff. In my experience particularly with work everything always takes twice as long, nothing ever goes according to plan. There's always snags and unexpected problems that arise. The best games ever made are the ones where the developers had the time to write it and not be rushed by corporate. As they say, it gets done when it gets done. You can't rush perfection.
Thanks again!
