I have been playing with this mod from Helos (although with an accomplished hero, so the very beginning was easy ) and I have to say I am quite surprised how well it plays compared to other mods. At first, I was skeptical about the not-so-much-bigger monster density compared to the vanilla but the increased monster level nicely compensated for it. It might be a tad bit difficult for a level 1 character in the beginning but I am still satisfied with the experience.
When the multi-masteries mod will be integrated, it might need a little bit higher mob density since you can really build an op character when you have access to all the masteries. Not having played legendary yet, this is just my guess so I might be completely wrong here.

The age-old problem of not having any magic find (like in diablo 2) is still present and although this "loot" mod helps a lot, it counts basically only for boss orbs and majestic chests. It is really not worth farming regular monsters as they rarely wield or equip anything valuable. The idea to counter-balance this gave rise to mods like xmax and such. Your solution is better I think for general gameplay, however the addition of magestic chests guarded by stronger packs of monsters or bosses in side areas which are otherwise rarely or rather never visited, would enhance the gaming experience imo. I, as a player, would gladely go to different dungeons and caves even in Act1 but there is really no incentive to do so. I think this would be a possible solution to the "Magic find" problem without the need to uncessarily increase the number of monsters. I am not sure if it is the best place to suggest this idea, I just wanted to share my thoughts as a veteran tq player. I wish that all the active mod developers read this and might find it useful.

Also, is it possible to play your mod as it is, but without the "Skill rework" mod? As much as I love many of the changes and fixes they introduced, some of them I neither understand nor like too much (like the Hamstring and Crushing blow skills in Warfare), so I'd like to play with the original skills.
Do I need ModMerge to make it happen or how can I go about it?

Overall, good job with this mod, I was pleasantly surprised. Keep up the good work!
 

You just need to extract the .zip into TQ's CustomMaps folder, that's all
Be sure to not rename anything

For some reason my windows didn't see it as a zip file so I downloaded 7zip and I could extract it. Thanks for the help anyways.

Do you know approximately when can we expect the Multi-Masteries to be added to your mod?

It does not seem to be working for me. It shows up in the custommaps in game but there are no changes to the masteries. I am using steam, any idea what could have gone wrong?

Thank you !
For skill/attributes, they were removed in the old Soulvizier, at least in the last published version (0.98i). They can't really be balanced even if they are rare, because there's no limitation in the number of uses. Also, adding them now would pose an issue because all existing characters would be at a disadvantage.
When I will add endgame content, I may add them back with limited use (like, no more than X can be used per character, and will require crafting with expensive materials). This will allow to simulate increased character level, currently it's limited to 85 and the AE engine can't allow more, they added some kind of useless hard cap in the code.

What a bummer that they hard capped levels, I am sure it's hard to balance it but if you are willing to put in the effort then why not become op. Circumventing this with skill/stat potions seems like a good idea.

Also, could you please provide me with the changelog of the original soulvizier/underlord mods? I could not find them anywhere and I'd like to refresh my memory. For example, I didn't remember that Temporal Flux in the Dream mastery has been changed and no longer grants avoid projectile. Or was it changed in Ragnarok?

It says flat reduction for me on all these items, so unless it is bugged, it is really absolute reduction and not percentage.

However, I tried to test it in pvp with a friend of mine and it didn't reduce the resistances AT ALL, netiher percentage nor absolute reduction took place, so here is one more mystery for ya...

Hello everyone!

So I have a Bramblewood bow with "the Betrayer" suffix. So it has two resistance reduction mods on it. Something like this:

25% chance of 57 reduced resistances for 3.0 seconds
25% chance of 37 reduced resistances for 3.0 seconds

I would like to know the mechanics behind it and how the program calculates in this case. Does it do two separate roll for every single basic attack? If yes and if I am really lucky, do they stack with each other?
Or the program just rolls them separately (in whatever order) and the first one that is applied is the one in effect?

If they stack this combination is very OP, much more so than the original item, but if not then there is a chance that the lower value overwrites the previously applied higher one making this item effectively worse than if it was a with a single mod with high reduction.
