Hi everyone,

Larian - Can you help me understand why the 1.0.132 hotfix was necessary to fix a resistance cap issue in patch 1.0.130? There is no mention of a resistance cap change in the notes for 1.0.130.

As a customer, it is discouraging to me that you are not being transparent on the changes that you are making to the game that I bought from you. If you feel that you must modify my experience with my purchased product, please do me the courtesy of informing me of all the changes you are making to my experience in your published change list.

D:OS is the first of your products that I have purchased. I do consider how a vendor treats me as a customer when deciding upon future purchases.

I think you have a great product here, and I'm glad that by all indications on Steam that you have done well. I hope you've earned a healthy profit on this product and that it encourages you to offer products of similar quality in the future that will result in greater profits for you and another enjoyable experience for your customers.

Thank you for taking the time to listen to one of your customers.

I posted in another thread,but I think I should re-post it here.regarding to the resistance cap,I think maybe spiderweb's games can offer some insight.for example,the chest amor offers 20% resisance, then legs 20%,but in stead of being caculated as 20%+20%,it counts as 20%+(1-20%)*20%,and so on,if your hand gear has 20%,it's 20%+(1-20%)*20%+(1-20%-(1-20%)*20%)*20%.so without potions or temporary boosts,you'll never be able to reach 100% by equipments alone.

There is an effort to include all changes in the notes, but with multiple fixes being worked on targeting different updates, things can often be missed (especially with small tweaks or rare bugfixes). Arguably, changing way resistances work should have been much harder to miss, but it is part of a larger set of balancing changes that are still being worked on, so maybe that is how it got missed.

Divinity Original Sin - Patch 1.0.132 - .130 - MAJOR Resistance CHANGES - How Will it EFFECT YOU!

80% cap is for player only? I'm tired of skipping half of the turns just because some mobs are healed by any of my hits... It doesn't make fights harder, just long.

I guess it's for players only. The enemies that get healed by elemental damage are usually enemies where it makes sense, e.g. elementals (against their element), demons (varies) or undead (poison).
Against such enemies you should of course use a different weapon (better to keep a backup weapon ready).

Great updates. Thanks for the patch notes.
One question though, will environmental effects still keep affecting the cap? (i.e. under Rain your max water resistance unbuffed is 60, not 80?)

AFAIK, as of now effects that lower your resistance practically lower the cap (i.e. if your total resistance is 130, but capped at 80, something that reduces your resistance by 20 will lead to a total of 80-20=60, not 130-20=110, again capped to 80).

But please someone correct me if I'm wrong.

You are wrong, I just tested that.

Enviromental effects do affect your cap. However you can go through cap with Shield Spells, Absorb Elements and potions.

So if you total is 80 and you get wet, you go to 60, but if you use Water Shield, it will go to 110.

It doesn't exactly contradict what I said, it's just an extension of it.
I was referring to the capped resistances you get from armour and talent bonuses.
I should maybe have mentioned that you can go beyond the caps with spells and potions since the hotfix to 1.0.132. Sorry if I was a bit ambiguous there.

No problem mate, i failed my text interpretation check =D

In the new patch 1.0.132 are again new texts that are not in the language file english.xml.
Specifically, for example. "Free Spirit".
You do it on purpose? Seriously you enjoy hinder translators work? What is so hard about it just to add?
Every little intelligent creature would automatically add it right to have an overview of what is and is not finished. Just for you to be constantly doing the double.
In one patch put new texts that are just and only English, and then we hope that you think of it in any other patch to fix!

Why Storm and Infectious Flame spells damage my own party? Sometimes Storm hits and stuns 2-3 times my chars ONLY! Totally ridiculous

The change does make the game significantly harder...from what i noticed...and much harder on hard mode...

Well I never played with anyone having 100+ resistances anyway. I had maybe 80-85% on some characters by the time I got to the end boss. So the resistance 'nurf' will never really affect me. If you played in such a way that you really needed that kind of resistance then I'd say that's pretty cheesy. Just use cheat codes and make yourself invincible and be done with it.

Your advice is to cheat? Bans for cheating and you should be ashamed ...

Why? I don't need to cheat. I'm able to play with those restrictions.

I dont cheat, my way was to build a character who is immune, took me a while to get the gear i needed and a ton of luck...the reason i luv this game so much is because it dosnt force a particular gameplay on a person...my way was to max resistances...thats how i play...
