Reimu II: Lord of Maidens v1.02

[Bgrmystr2]

OH GOD EXPLOSIONS and then the boss is dead.

Oh, I see. So Kanako is the reason you've stayed alive. She must be supremely good. I'll have to give her a go later then. I did have a Javazon with that skill, but never really was into that kind of playstyle though. :V I prefer just going into the crowd and wrecking shop with or without my minions. If they die, then I either blame it on their AI (which isn't smart, lemmy tell you), or my inability to pick stuff for them to wear to survive longer.
(No amount of "But will it blend?" saves them from my recklessness )

And that hair is for something which doesn't really fit on the board. If you want to know more about it then it would have to be via PMs.

Meh. I just saw it and recognized it as her. Doesn't bother me if I know or not... sorta. (for now anyway) I'm a curious bastard (knowing me), so if curiosity does end up getting the better of me, (which it possibly will), I'll throw ya a PM about it.

PS : Danmaku Archers!

OHKO Genji's kids by Kanako on Players 8


KO Marisa from 50% by Kanako on Players 8

This time, though, I could see what happened.
It seems there is a bug in one of the skills that raises other skills's proc chance.
Then, skills that can trigger a skill to fire if it hits a wall OR an enemy
(Think Amazon's Lightning Fury + Pierce)...
Except that the trigger is the object it spawns, creating a loop until the target is dead. Marisa lasted about 0.5 sec in the spamwave that blasted her to 0.
The white square+Circles are what I think to be Minamitsu's Drowning Sign: Deep Vortex.
I think there's about 20 of them stacked onto each other.

[Pesco]

The transparency doesn't look like it can be a Minamitsu skill. Though Kanako spawning with armour that procs that stuff looks plausible I'd guess.

[Pimgd]

This is the skill she was proc-ing, and how it causes the transparency issues.

[Bgrmystr2]

Jesus, Kanako looks broken as hell. xD
I WISH MY CHARACTERS WERE THAT BROKEN

I went through ALL the Danmaku Archers! (..on Normal)
Found the Netherlands.. but.. kind of confused at what it was supposed to be. The names gave me a giggle though. ;P

Also, uhm.. On attachment.
PAD-Chou [E}
Yeah. Figured that wasn't intentional.

Edit :
Apparently.. Okuu's Explosion Sign "Petit Flare" is not fire based. Fire damage 15-26. Nope. Totally not fire based.
That.. or Carina Nebula's +1 to fire skills doesn't work.
[/Edit]
Carina Nebula [E] does not give +1 to fire skills, but [N] DOES work. Other unique items might have broken mechanics too. Hell of a search party, huh?

[ARF]

The random proc equipment really defines this mod to me since it was released. Get any equipment with a chance to cast charged bolt on striking and since charged bolts hitting an enemy counts as striking it will continiously loop until there are no more targets. It gets much stronger/faster if you have multiple items with various on striking procs.

[Bgrmystr2]

As a proper and just necromance, I think this would be a good time to post some useful information for anyone still interested.

The mod is NOT dead! Thank Pesco. :V

I'm definitely around and working on it.

I don't know how many people here are still interested, or if it's only me, but as I've spent years of my life playing Diablo 2, all the way back when it was just myself and my father, back to when I got into battle.net later, to when I would go online with my friends now, to Diablo 3, and now with my Touhou interest (see: obsession), I am still looking forward to absolutely everything this mod will bring, and am already trying to get one of my friends to reinstall his D2 1.13d into c so he can play as well.

With that, I bring you, in steed of Pesco (whom has allowed me to discuss changes to the game that aren't currently at a release standpoint), a release log of so far.

From the looks of it, melee classes are getting a buff, so all of you who said melee classes needed love, It sure looks like you're going to get it. I'm looking forward to the possible (?) ability to add ALL the sockets to a low level item as well as the craft reward charms. I'm curious if there was ever implemented the items for in-game that are dedicated to users who helped test and report problems with the test version of it. If you've any ideas, or already implemented them and I just need to find them maybe.. or if not, that's ok too. The mod itself is amazing enough.

Also, automagic to recipe upgrade? Sounds impressive. Seems to me like you find items naturally, and upgrade it from whatever it currently is, then it will gain character stats based on the item (?) or the player (?) or both (:V). Just like ARF said (pretty sure that's Stuffman), the random proc equipment define the mod, and when you get procs you can use from other classes, you'll want to be able to make items with different characters that give + stats to the skill you're using. It's looking really good so far, and.. uh..

DISCUSSION GET!

[highzealot]

YES! UPDATE IN SIGHT!

Lets see, Master Spark nerf, Blazing Wheel nerf and Cat's Walk nerf. GOD DAMNIT! I understand that those nerfs are a good idea but by Emperor, I liked being god like.  :ohdear:

I also never knew there were item-level sockets limits and I'll see how I feel about recipe upgrade for character stats. I have good hopes for that though


Now something I need to ask is how exactly runewords work. I assumed it works like in vanilla so I made a mistake when trying to make it. So, first, I had the runes, Ma+Ri+Sa+Ze, a low quality non-magic broom that grave +78 to danmaku stat and 4 jewels. I tried to give 4 sockets to the broom but only got 3. Wasn't sure if that was because broom only allows 3 or if it had to do with item-level sockets limits. I put the runes, Ma+Ri+Sa into the broom in that order and it didn't appear to have applied any Runeword effects. I should have taken screenshots but instead, I just unsocketed it and got the runes back for 3 perfect gems and 1 portal scroll and 1 identify scroll. I was fairly sure I should have gotten Runeword effects on that broom. My character is primarily Marisa and at that point I didn't realise that I can only get +3 for Voile Fairy skills and Runewords were meant to give skills from one class to another class.

[Bgrmystr2]

A lot of the ranged attacks were pretty overpowered. I mean.. I had to /players 8 for challenging gameplay that I SHOULD be getting from /players 1.

Low level items have socket limits at the moment, it's not 100% equivalent, but most of the time you'll find [E] with 1 socket, [N] with 2, [H] with 3, etc. Remember that the tiers of items tend to have similar item levels as the socket limits.
Some items will have a different socket count from the item tier, so I will always suggest keeping every single jewel you find. Using the maximum socket count on one item is the only current way to guarantee you get the maximum sockets on that item.

As to the rune word, they do NOT work on items for that class. You cannot make a MarisaZe runeword on a broom. It won't work. It only works on items that aren't for the class it gives stats for. (it should work for other class specific items as far as I can remember, but don't quote me on that. It's been a very long time.)

It's all covered in the readme the mod comes with, you might want to give that a read. I mean, the name should give it away. Some of it is worded a bit weird, though so if there's something you don't understand it's totally ok to ask

[Pesco]

All non-unique/set items will spawn as 'locked', even magic items. Use the cube to unlock them. This was the workaround to fix character stats not spawning on certain items. Getting character stats this way does 3 things: guarantees the item to give stats for the character it's associated with, grants a chance for the character stats of a related (build) character to appear and third, forces players to upgrade the tier of their equipment. [E] tier items will never spawn character stats higher than a particular value. Only the tier higher will provide something better.

As you can see from the partial changelog, spells are all getting a pretty big nerf in terms of their scaling. The change in availability of character stat on items will also start limiting you in how much stat you can stack up. All melee skills got buffed in their scaling to make them more viable. Again, it's not perfect but I can always fix things in the form of further updates.

Surprise recipient of buffs

Spoiler:

...mercs...

Spoiler:

All mercs got given more attribute growth and new skills. Their AI have been adjusted to use their skills very frequently. All non-class-specific gear can also be unlocked, these spawn the unique stat for mercs. All merc skills gain synergy bonus from these stats. Mercs are very capable of killing stuff now but they still need to be looked after.

[Amraphenson]

The ride never ends.

[Pesco]

[Culukeh]

Melee love~
Its been a while since I played since I'm bad at creating specs that actually work. And they tended to be melee so you know how that goes. Recently I've started again and I'm glad to see all the care that continues to go into this project, which is great because I forgot how addicting it was.

[Bgrmystr2]

Oh man.. those mercs.

Is Halgaunt a party member of yours or the name of a merc? Speaking of mercs.. perhaps they should have more touhou..ish.. names? I always try to get Kyoko on act 1 because..

well.. I don't know. She can have both fire and ice arrow, so it never mattered to me. She was decently powerful but her bow made her worth a damn, so the name is sort of everything to me. They look amazing so far, though. Can't wait to see what they do and how useful they'll be.

The ride never ends.

If this mod is a ride, I never want to get off
That was such a fun game by the way. Baloons and hotdogs for everyone xD

[highzealot]

Now I regret giving up on mercs and selling my act 2 merc gear I spent a fortune gambling for.

[Pesco]

Yeah names for mercs are needed too. There's a list that the game chooses from. Post me what names you guys want and that's what they'll be called.

Act 1: 41 names
Act 2: 21 names
Act 3: 20 names
Act 5: 67 names

[Bgrmystr2]

Oh good lord 149 names..?

Uhm. I know how the name works and being irrelevant what matches with what, but is it possible to force a name to be only a certain type, like example.. making Act 1 merc's Kyoko spawn only ice arrow? If forcing names with skills is available, we could make fan-based stuff like the different element cirnos and etc.

If we can't force the names, then I don't really know exactly what kind of names we should have since most of the main Touhou characters are already sitting around in-game anyway. Totally was not prepared for that many. xD

[Pesco]

Names can't be assigned and all known Touhou characters appear in some form or other in the game already.

Edit: It may be possible to make it so some names have a better chance of being assigned to a particular type of merc. In that case, act1 has 2 merc types, act2 has 3 types, act3 has 3 types and act5 only has 1 type.

[highzealot]

Have to ask, when downgrading an item to normal for use with Runewords, the item will come out locked right? Wouldn't want to find a [P] level magic or rare item, downgrade it to normal and find out it spawned with no character stats since it wasn't locked.

Also, hope I'm not being rude for asking for an ETA but ummm, ETA for the patch?

[Bgrmystr2]

Also, hope I'm not being rude for asking for an ETA but ummm, ETA for the patch?

So much do I want to say When It's done but I actually am curious how far Pesco is doing on the patch myself. ETA is probably something you won't get an answer to because even Pesco won't know that. What we may be able to ask is how much of the patch is done, or how much more does he plan to put into it.

[Pesco]

Locked is treated as an affix. Any recipe that rerolls the base item will spawn it as locked and you can unlock it at any time.

The update should be ready later today. I got messaged about what info to put into the wiki pages. I need to complete the update so that the latest info gets put up.

===================

Link for ver 1.01

The documentation has been updated with some the details for socketing. No more spending too many jewels and not getting enough sockets. The max socket limits on weapons that you'll see there is for balance as certain gear setups can completely abuse the bonuses gained from socketables.

As mentioned earlier, mercs have been buffed with new skills. They're easily strong enough to carry you through Normal. On the higher difficulties you'll need to start taking care of them. Merc equipment follows the same idea as your gear, stack the character stat. In the early game it's pretty normal to have the merc walking around with gear better than yours. But don't feel too jealous, their gear caps out very quickly.

The main meat of the update, the buffs to melee and nerfs to spells. Melee builds should not get screwed over as much as before. Melee skills scale pretty evenly with enemies now. If you make use of a merc, you shouldn't have a hard time either. I also expect people playing melee builds to make use of the basic crafting recipes (weapon + 1-6 bonus pieces). It's easy free damage and turns mediocre weapons into great ones.

It's a long overdue update, but it's out at least. I won't let it be the only update as Touhou has gotten itself new characters for me to work in when I get new ideas again.

[Bgrmystr2]

What the hell is this documentation bs, and why can't I read it anymore? Did you break the readme, or is it just broken for me? I'm using OpenOffice Writer to open it since I don't have $200+ to shell to microfail for their software that others give out for free.

Also, where is the wiki for the mod? I was PMed about editing it, but when I asked where the wiki for LoM was, I received no reply.

Edit :
On a better note, I'm so far intrigued by the items being locked and unlocked, but without the documentation, I have no idea what's who, or who's what. I did gamble / identify / unlock a few [L] / [X] belts and [X] mokou gloves, but the belts had no bonus to skills and the Mokou gloves only gave Rage and Fever. Maybe I just have to learn how the itemization works before I can get Danmaku on them.

I don't know what kind of Act 2 merc I have, but it's little white orbs of spinny, and it does a decent job of killing things with the items he already had from pre-patch. I will say I'm also curious about the healing animation from when you use a healing potion, or if thats a merc thing? I mean, I'm almost 100% sure it's a potion animation, (which is totally cool), since it happened when my merc was dead too.

[Pesco]

It's the same pdf as it's always been. Adobe Reader is free you know.

All class specific items and the items equippable by mercs are locked by default. Unlocking generates the character stat on the item. You will always get merc stats on common items, Mokou stats on Mokou items, Reimu stats on Reimu items etc. On class specific items, there's a chance for the character stats of a related character to spawn. Mokou items have a chance to spawn a lesser amount of Iku and/or Medicine stat because those are the related sksilltrees you'd have access to if you mained Mokou. On a central tree item like Reimu's shields, you can spawn +stat for all Miko stats but the chance is much lower.

The healing animation is from potions and should run for the duration of the regen effect.

[Raikaria]

I'm probobly gonna get Diablo2 just to give this a spin.

This will almost certainly be hilarious. I know NOTHING about Diablo.

[Exxelent_]

A very nice update. Rolled a Phantom Kinsei just to try out the new melee skill changes, so I'll give my thoughts once I've made some progress that isn't "Subdue Orin". Some things I've definitely felt are the new mercs, they really do own just about everything in normal difficulty, I feel like I'm playing tank instead of Youmu/Yorihime cheese grater. Flandre went down in record time and Orin wasn't as bad as I clearly remember.

Like I said though, I'm only very much at the tip of the iceberg here.

[Pesco]

Orin is still a bit difficult but at least she's not impossible now.

[Raikaria]

Looking through the class info and I have utterly no clue what to do and half of what it's going on about. All I know is I'm probobly gonna make a fairy to wet my feet cause fairy.

And the rune part just made me 0_0

Ah the joys of being a noob with no clue.

[Amraphenson]

What's fucked up was that the most reliable method for oldOrin, at least for me, was throwing the very same flaming wheels at her and praying she died before you did.

[Raikaria]

I'm playing a Warlock using the damage amp from Hina's skill tree [Planned to get the lifesteal] combined with the extra scythe damage from Komachi's tree.

I'm finding the limitation of only being able to select two forms of attack at once annoying, and unless I'm dumb [WHICH IS PROBABLY THE CASE] I can't find a hotkey to swap skills.

Just cleared the Forgotten Tower, and basically the ally given to me by Sakuya is wrecking everything and I'm basically her meatsheild. Which is annoying. I can't even get to the mobs before the ice arrows blast them to pieces usually. Is there a way to get rid of her?

Also, considering trying out a Tewi build Hunter as well. So many things to try~
