Thread: Creature Knowledge Was Worth Little, Now Worth Nothing At All
Well, in a moment of high intelligence, seems as if SOE gave all of us the ability to determine the damage types of our weapons now (heat, acid, etc.). One small problem, YOU CAN NO LONGER DETERMINE RESISTANCES AND VULNERABILITIES OF EXAMINED CREATURES. I am a supposed 'Hunt Master', and my examine screen has now been nerfed to be even worse than when I was a n00b scout on training day.
Bravo! One more thing that the mighty Ranger class CAN'T do.....
I think the confusion may lie in the examination of creatures w/out any resistances.
If a creature has resistances, then it will show everything, just like pre-patch. If it doesn't have any resistances, then it will show nothing.
Bad news, I think the 2 most useful pieces of info (Armor Rating and Resistances) I believe are accessible to everyone. Check with non-scout types, and have them see what is in the examine window. When I was on TC, I hadn't picked up scout yet, and saw that info.
They may have changed it, but not sure. Let the up roar begin. (People other than me need to verify this is correct, I will state that this info is old, and may not be accurate.)
Hmmm, I examined about a dozed different critters on my run through the game this evening and got a dramatically truncated readout. Even when things, were zero, the headers were still there, though tonight I saw nothing at all, just a couple of fairly useless pieces of information that were accessible to everyone.
I'll double check next time I'm on. I must admit, my session this evening (post patch) was frustrating enough, in many regards, that I think I'll call it a night.
