Finros was messing with hurling last night and some odd things happened. I'm going to take that as a good sign... even though my returning axe was going out as an axe and returning as a falchion for a bit.

Say more!

Vivaldi's weapon went out as a hoe, and returned battered and dirty.

I'm not sure that's news though.

It was entirely unrelated to thrown, I'm afraid. I was putting out a large number of backend changes which should have been invisible to players. You were one of a few people that saw some inconsistent results for a few moments.

The bad news is that in a related note, fetish masters appear to have gained parry defense vs thrown weapons. This makes them particularly tough to kill, as they're DS averages about 550, ranging from 490-620 or so.. especially when a third of the time they now seem to parry your attack. I've been told they are looking into it though, so keep the faith.

Someone is still working on things, whether it be Finros or not. I would KILL to be permitted to show you something, but that time has not arrived yet.

If you want a character with non-uber stats and skills and gear, I'd gladly dust off the Ranger.

Recently changed my rogue from 2x ranged to 2x thrown 1x shield (equal point cost) to use a nifty chronomage dagger I was tired of seeing in my locker. I lost more than 100 DS and i'm very less formidable when it comes to killing things with eye crits (perhaps I should fling poo).


Two specific questions for thrown weapons review;

1) Currently there are returners and chronomage daggers that do not inspect as thrown weapons giving no defense, etc - CHANGE PLEASE?

2) Currently there are no crit bonus' for using thrown from hiding - CHANGE PLEASE?

Any chance that we could get something like 'grip' for the non-Thrown-weapons-which-can-be-Thrown, to toggle them between <whatever they are> and Thrown like 1HEdged/2Hand does for bastard weapons? Because daggers are Thrown to that extent, even though they are not specifically classed as Thrown weapons.

An alternative would be to always have Thrown weapons go into the left hand, and be considered like Bows for generating DS.

Of course, completing the entire Thrown review process would be a good choice, too. <nod>

Just don't retire, or downgrade to 'Contributing', that's all. <poke Konacon>

Very nice to hear progress is being made and look forward to seeing what you have in store for us.
