Feedback, Ideas, Bug Reporting

Constructive feedback is welcome and encouraged. Specifically, it's very helpful to hear from those wanting and willing to play a cheat-free normal playthrough. If you cheat everything in, you aren't getting the experience or progression intended... nor will you properly understand the perks, skills and functions unless you learn and grow into them while playing.

 

Although there's A LOT more planned for Sorcery, further ideas and suggestions are always welcome in the Sorcery Discord!

OOOOHHHH YEAH. I'm am gonna make this mod my homepage for a while.

I think I might get to work on some Shouts so I can be a true DoZEDkiin!

[dutchplayers]

Interesting, waiting for more pics

[Devrix]

Added a rough teaser vid of the Fireball upgraded and base Firenado spell in action. Pardon the unfinished fx and polish. I'll get a video of the upgraded Firenado in action.. I think you'll approve!

[Necrodemus]

This is incredible to see in 7 days. When I first started playing many years ago, what really drew me into the game, was the subtle supernatural feel I got from It. It felt unique; with it's creepy ambient music, slow shambling zombies, their night filled rage, and the terrifying emergence of bloodmoon asaults.

 

I was inspired to begin writing a back story for it. However, while it has improved dramatically from those first fledgling versions, I feel it has lost it's way, in becoming all things that encompass it in the periphery, instead of staying true to itself; building, upon what made it such a best seller.

 

This mod has giving me hope of a ressurection of that initial ambience. And while I won't be playing with it just yet, I will definatly set up a second install to experience it the way you present it. It looks awesome thus far.

 

What is the performance impact of those particles? It will be interesting to see how you impliment these spells, and perhaps you may inspire others.

 

Best of luck to you and thank you for presenting it to the community. You modders rock!

[CrypticGirl]

This looks like it'd be an awesome addition to the Medieval Mod. I definitely have to try this out sometime...

[Tristam]

Wonderful mod. I'm looking forward to it.

 

If I may give some critique: the current location of the hand is in the way a bit. I wouldn't want to walk around with my spell out all the time if my fist was taking up the screen. Especially when holding the fire tornado on top of it.

Also, thank you all for the feedback and shared excitement!

Awe man! I saw this and thought SWEET MAGIC, then I see its still a WIP :/

 

Can't wait for this to come out and to see how much you do with this.

 

Oh, and let me know if you want me to make another Batch script for you ;P

 

Nice work so far! Looks Amazing!

Thanks for the feedback and sharing your story. I've detailed, and will be keeping in, many code comments to help guide others as to what's going on behind the scenes to make this all possible. It'd be my pleasure to help anyone interested in learning.

 

To answer the particle performance question, it's very good so far with no noticeable issues.

I've kept the particle emission count low to help with this. If it becomes an issues, we can always lower particle count further and/or come up with a "low quality" option. I think casting Firenado on a group of 10 zombs caused an interesting effect, however LOL.

 

Keeping your Shader quality lower will help a lot too if it becomes an issue. Though, I've been able to use Ultra+ with a base 2080 and older i7 processor.

haha sorry to disappoint! ...soon my friend, soon!

I know it's unlikely to happen right this moment, but I'm hoooooooping by a miracle that TFP blesses us with allowing for Localization.txt modifications through xpath (would have to convert and all that). Sorcery has a loooooooot of text that needs to be added there.

I'd also like to tap into the quest localization, which would make that a millenia easier.

Anyway, until then, yes... a batch would be much appreciated, for all our sake!

Extracting / harvesting Ice Essence and "The Ice Transmutation Ritual".

 

One of the most challenging, and funnest (I hope), aspects of playing as a Sorcerer will be attaining and obtaining Essence to craft your Spells and perform Sorceries.

 

I would love your feedback on how YOU would like to attain and obtain Essence, beyond what's demonstrated in this demo vid.

 

Currently, you obtain Essence the following ways:

** All natural sources have a chance for Core Essence

** Planted trees must be fully grown, much rarer to drop essence and they currently cannot drop Core Essence.

** May implement ability to plant and grow essence directly (yay nay?)

Edited February 6, 2019 by Devrix
Added Essence Chart (see edit history)

[Deskimo]

So when it comes to harvesting of the essence, is the essence mastery the only thing that effects gathering rate? I like the idea of mining to get the resources, but if I am playing with a group I am not fond of the idea that I would want to max strength as well just so I don't waste the ore I am gathering just so I can do magic.
