Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity Original Sin - Beta a note - unreadable in any way or shape :D

WTF is that supposed to mean :



I think the second and third words means "how much" and the second line reads "Blacksmith"

blacksmiting
lvl 2 - 20-40 durability
xxxxx durability
xxxxx +
weapon/ xxxx xxxx
xxxxx

That's all I can make of it, xxxx being unreadable.

"Well, it'll certainly impact dealing with a broken nazg and maybe let you improve existing ones too"

Sounds good though.

What language ? Oh well at least we've found someone with handwriting not much better than my own...

I think I can read a few more words:

crafting (how much?)

blacksmiting
lvl 2 - 20-40 durability
no xxx durability
decrease +
weapon/ armor (???) crafting
requirement

~ lockpick

blacksmithing
lvl 2 - 20-40 durability
no more durability
decrease +
weapon/ armor crafting
requirement

Guess we decripted the message?

So Swen's been reading our forum discussions on how Repair should be fixed... awesome! Just hope he 1) gets rid of permanent durability decreases altogether (which the translated note does seem to say, thanks to you folks), and 2) makes higher Repair/"Blacksmithing" ability levels actually worth taking - i.e. not just having them mean you need to click a hammer a couple extra times to be able to repair every single piece of equipment to 100%.

(I wrote elsewhere about the idea to have higher Repair/Blacksmithing ability levels be prerequisites for repairing more valuable/higher-level equipment, and/or to have the highest level even allow you to improve equipment slightly "beyond 100%." But I think I've spammed this idea enough elsewhere. )

Cheers Larian!

P.S. Gyson - guess you need to tell Swen you're happy.

I have dived my opinion and ideas on other post and hopfully repering will be now more rewording then punishing

Yes, that's good.
But we'll still have to see if blacksmith will be good enough to invest in with the current replacement speed of weapons/armor, where you usually find a new one before the old's broken (although fixing issues with durability not being substracted on skills or block might totally change that).

Right - currently armor pieces degrade slowly (which I personally like), but weapons degrade very, very quickly, so under the existing system, I'm trashing old weapons for new constantly.

But now that this note confirms they're changing things up, I'm really interested to see what's in the next beta update...

What language was the note ?

Believe it or not, it's English. Really, really, really messy English.

Dutch is much more readable
