World 14 Unofficial Changelog

[VDZ]

Dunno if it is new or not but it seems you can't trample snakes anymore

Whoa, are you for real? This is pretty big for hermits. Did you try cart trampling, horse trampling or both?

[The_Lich_King]

They added tough root for destroying tree roots (not mirkwood) and a good early game exploration gild for tough roots.

Beware, bats have been buffed. Had a very close call at 9 UA, 18 AGI, 11 STR. Wiki says it should have 90 hitpoints (flee at 60) but it didn't even flee until 119 damage. It got real aggressive on backhanded (dark blue) attacks at some point, the attacks went really fast. (I won the fight with 8 SHP remaining.)

We haven't buffed them. They might've just used their HP-vampire ability on you.

Wiki says they only use Vampirism if Reeling is above 50%, and it causes more Reeling and heals for 'a small amount'. By the end of the battle my Reeling was at 43 (without me ever having used a restoration for Reeling, only for Dizzy and Off-Balance). Throughout the battle (which didn't take long) I took 77 SHP damage total, so assuming their flee HP is still 30 below their max HP, more than 50 of that 77 damage must have been from Vampirism (assuming 1:1 restore ratio). That seems very unlikely to me.

I've fought bats at low stats before and I've never encountered a situation like this.

For the record, this is what it looked like at the fleeing point. (Ignore the HHP damage, I never cleared the damage recording from all the nettle burns which have long since healed.) It was indeed using Vampirism at sub-50 Reeling, but it must've somehow drained like crazy while at the same time stacking up Dizzy like crazy (while Off-Balance wasn't stacking up nearly as hard, even though according to the wiki its only Backhanded attack is also Striking). It's almost like it's parsing the colors incorrectly or something, I can't explain what happened with the stats and rules I'm familiar with. Something changed, at least.

EDIT: Also perhaps relevant to say as indication of how the battle must have been, there was no movement during the battle other than provoking it the desired position at the start, and I focused mainly on a 'kill it before it kills me' strategy especially towards what at least felt like the latter half of the battle, only using restorations when my openings got really high (40+, at some point I even accepted openings between 40-50). I tried to use restorations against the Backhanded stacking but it remained in the ~80 range (if I recall correctly) so I gave up on that and just punched and kept wondering why it wouldn't just die already.

Totally missed it somehow

Actually I only tried it without a cart. That might be interesting but I have my doubts.

You now "hit" it and stop which will turn its aggro on you

[Mysia]

is this new? for a rough star shard?
