Crowbars
« on: December 03, 2017, 01:41:49 PM »
So I noticed today that crowbars are acting in new ways. Critical failures appear to be random now and unrelated to the roll. You can miss by 1 or 2 and still get a crit failure. I would say this happens about 80-90% of your rolls. I did a recent Terg run powered only by a crowbar and an average of a 20 str and pretty much destroyed 80+% of the loot. Eventually I just gave up because most times I was just getting the coins so it was not worth the time required to do it.

If this is intentional, I'm not a fan. If it's a bug, it should be looked at.

I believe that's been since the last update.

This will be fixed in the next update. It’s fixed on the test server.

My Paladin loves this, my Rogue is a little bit sad.

I have observed some changes with crowbars however now it is not giving you the +10 for using a crowbar, or whatever it was, making a lot of boxes and doors impossible. It now mechanically the same to use a sword vs a crowbar when bashing a chest open.

I have noticed that the crowbar bonus is applied correctly when used to bust open a chest, but there's no bonus when used on a door.

There's also a known bug where it will ask you to hit a door to be able to use a crowbar on it. I've found no temporary fix, but surely the lack of roll boost and that bug are connected.

Ran into this in the pirate cave last night. Crowbar works flawlessly with chests but on doors I'm told to attack with it and there is no boost to the strength check.

Edit: just saw where this was brought up in another thread and being worked on. Sorry for beating a dead horse with a crowbar!

No worries!

But are the crowbars now working as desired and intended?
