I expect that with Gummy Maggots now overwriting Alacrity, there is no longer a market for Gummy Maggots and their limit of 8 speed. If this is correct, the "money sink" contribution to consumption of purchased confectioner resources in the production of Gummy Maggots is now history. Any chance of reconsidering this change and having it reversed in an upcoming Delta?

Knossos

From the forum discussion about coloring Sacks and Satchels I thought that the corresponding live content might have included the addition of Weapon and Tool Dye Techniques to the item creation of Sacks and Satchels. The Chroma-based Weapon and Tool Dye Kit being the only method of coloring Sacks and Satchels is not a very useful solution, noting that Chroma only drop from a few T6 mob types (not at a high drop rate either) and there are 23 colors for a complete set.

Is it possible that a future delta can bring the dye on creation for Sacks and Satchels utilizing the existing Weapon and Tool Dye Techniques sold by Quartermaster Marcus in Kion and the alchemical dyes as the Tech Comps?

Gummy maggots will not conflict with most Alacrity up effects, only the ones who share it's keywords. For example:
What it will stack with: Gift of Alacrity, Hastened Bauble.
What it won't stack with: Gnomian Prowess.

There's too many alacrity effects to list them all, but it still stacks with enough effects, the best way to figure out which work and which don't is simply to use them and see what you can get stacking.

Before posting, I tested a Gummy Maggot with Gift of Alacrity V up and the Gummy Maggot overwrote the Gift of Alacrity V.

They do not stack. Could this be because the Gummy Maggot was made before the patch?

*bummed, as needing all combat help she can get*
Is it normal to have special effects conflict with racial bonuses?

I tried using a gummy maggot, the gift was unaffected.

From my understanding, Gummy Maggots had the wrong keyword before, and therefore didn't stack with effects that would raise the delay. Gummy Maggots lower delay. So if you had a gummy maggot on, and a mob tried to put something like Blighted Atrophy on you, either the blighted atrophy would fail, or it would overwrite the gummy maggot. I don't ever recall anything overwriting my gummy maggot, so if I had to guess, I just didn't get affected by blighted atrophy. Chances are both effects could be on the player, but in the delay calculation, something off might have been happening. This should be fixed.

Gummy Maggot's should still be useful. And actually, delay modifiers should all "stack" because they have never directly "added together" anyway. There's some formula that caulculates the actual delay reduction when one or more delay lowering effects are in place, such that your second delay modifying ability reduces the remaining delay amount before hitting 0, by that second modifiers % amount. So to try and explain that and why they have never "added" , let's examine what would happen if they just added: Gift of Alacrity V is -25% delay. Gummy maggot is also -25% delay. Gnomian Prowess is -50% delay. If these directly added, delay would be 0. Or impossible, really. The way it actually works, assuming they are not overwriting each other, which IMHO they should not, precisely because they have never "added together", is this: Gift alacrity, my delay is now 75% of the baseline. Now I use a Gummy Maggot, and another 25% is taken off of 75%. so 25% of 75%, which is 18.75%, resulting in actual delay of 56.25% of the baseline. Now I use Gnomian Prowess, which takes 50% off of 56.25% (half), the resulting delay is 28.125% of the baseline. It can never hit 0, that would be crazy. It's also a game of diminishing returns.

The Gummy Effect has a huge negative, it caps both movement speed and velocity to 8. I really hope that the Gummy Maggot effect does not actually "Overwrite" some other delay modifiers... it has a built in nerf which limits its' usefulness. Also keep in mind that delay only affects auto-attacks or the time to cast repeating spells such as bolts. It does not make special attacks, or spells with a recycle any faster. There's no need for some special stacking rules or nerfs to be applied to it. I haven't tried yet to see if any abilities overwrite it, but I hope they do not, as it's not necessary.

Tested again after Order restart and all is well now. Gift of Alacrity V and Gummy Maggots do now stack. For whatever reason (including Dwarf Blunder Error) all is well now with Gummy Maggots.

Knossos

I used a gummy maggot (-25% delay), then tried Gnomian Prowess, the Gnomian Prowess failed. That should be fixed.

I'm pretty sure this should work. I did find out that an updated Clientlookup and PrimLookup wasn't patched out correctly until after your post. Can you recheck and verify that you can add the dyes during creation?

is this an expansion pack if i may ask?

From what I'm aware istaria never really had expansion packs, by definition, yes it would be, but so would nearly every content patch: "These add-ons usually add new game areas, weapons, objects, and/or an extended storyline to complete an already released game.". I think everyone is currently simply calling it a content patch.

Rechecked and dyes are not available techniques on item creation screens for satchels and sacks.

Noting that the Weapon and Tool Dye Kits apply to Sacks and Satchels post-creation, it seems to me that the Weapon and Tool dye Techniques would be the ones applicable to Sacks and Satchels at item creation. I do have all of the Weapon and Tool Dye Techniques scribed and have used them for dyeing Weapons and Tools at item creation.

Please see my response at http://community.istaria.com/forum/s...l=1#post311442

This update will be on Delta 286, it was added after Delta 285 went to Blight. This Niesa update is Delta 281-285. But should be another Delta very soon to fix a few more bugs. It's coming ! :)
