Title: [Solved][0.9.9.5] AoB Large Health Spheres
Post by: byrel on January 11, 2012, 17:30: I was trying out the new version (and getting my first AoB full win :D) when I noticed that large health packs didn't berserk like they did in the previous version. I figured that was just balance, to actually make AoB deserve its "VERY HARD" rating.

But then I noticed that the challenges screen still mentions that ability in AoB.

Post by: Kg on January 12, 2012, 00:06: I think it works only when you have Berserker trait, but I'm not sure.

Post by: raekuul on January 12, 2012, 06:47: I was always under the impression that Large Health Spheres were replaced with Berserk Packs. Clearly this is not the case.

Post by: Klear on January 12, 2012, 07:01: I thought there were large heath packs and berserk packs, where the former heals and later zerks, and both are still present in .995. You can/could get berserk from healing?

Post by: Zalminen on January 12, 2012, 07:11: Large health packs are supposed to give berserk, but only in AoB.

Post by: raekuul on January 12, 2012, 21:15: I have never actually seen a Large Health Sphere in AoB, though, so I always assumed they were just plain replaced with Berserk packs.

Post by: tehtmi on January 13, 2012, 01:05: Just to clarify:

Large med-pack (+): This is the item you pick up and use. It doesn't give berserk, nor is it supposed to. (It did give berserk in some of the early versions that had AoB, but it was quickly deemed too powerful.)

Berserk pack (^): Always gives berserk!

Large health globe (^): Looks just like a berserk pack unless you take the time to read the name. Also has a similar effect, although it can heal you past 100%. On AoB, these are also supposed to give a (lesser to berserk pack) amount of berserk (Berserker trait not needed). This is currently broken (IIRC, it has been broken before too). When things are working, it is easy to mistake these for berserk packs on AoB.

...and fixed.

Post by: So_1337 on January 16, 2012, 17:23: So AoB is going to be that much harder until 0.9.9.6?
Title: Re: [Solved][0.9.9.5] AoB Large Health Spheres
Post by: tehtmi on January 16, 2012, 20:58: Yes, no fixes will be available to players until 0.9.9.6 is released (or for beta testers until the first 0.9.9.6 beta is released).
