I'm not sure if that RcR change requires server update, but, i believe, update will happen on august 1 or few days after that date (depending on Dev availability to update server and make sure no stuff is left behind accidentally). Things can change, obviously :)
The 100% RCR end date has been moved to August 15. Just mentioning it that so that we can all get on the same page and not create any confusion
Ah, thanks, i missed that announcement, it seems.

1) There will be additional dialogue options to fast-forward and rewind by 10 through armor variations / armor parts / weapon & shield models
2) Everytime you go through a variation, there will be a floating message with the number of the chosen variation, so you'll always know where you're at number-wise

It's not the perfect QoL but little something while we're waiting for a major overhaul.
I appreciate you 💚

If that's possible, can we please have an option to remove all the armor details with a single button? Cycling each armor detail is quite long and boring. :)

Very cool. Having a number or code associated with a style is a long time in the making, like the vanilla NWN2 changer. The day we can actually type that number in a field, will be like Christmas.

Thanks Mat-o!

After more opinions were voiced, this change has been pulled back and replaced by allowing only the consumable/item use.

Is it going to be a blanket spell failure or you can cast still spells?

For good reason. Still even allowing the use of items will be very powerful since the only essential ward that you will need to recast is mirror images and some healing. For my gish for example it is going to be Mirror image - Ext Haste, Ext Imp Invis, Ext Tensers (+8AB on top of the 60+AC and 35+Damage). Then replenish mirror images with a wand and heal if needed. Once the Ext haste expires, get ready to go ethereal and repeat the process.

Awwww. I was really hoping to push Shali one step closer to being a dragon knight... :(

It's an okay improvement, though. Just don't think it catches my eye quite that much, being a round/CL spell and all.

Ye, 1 round/cl seems to be undervalued for that reason. It is still around 6 minutes when extended though. That is a lot of time to use it when needed ie when you fight bosses. For certain builds, only the White Dragon and maybe the Balor are able to outlast it

I use the old Appearance Changer for that; I just go through the list for some appearance that has as few of the extra armor parts as possible, and then I go over to edit stuff in the new appearance changer.

But yeah, it is an improvement. Thumbs up.
If you are offended by what I said have said above, I have recieved my last warning, I have discussed Intuitive Attack, so report - for I do not mind. Getting me banned is nothing special, it happens every week. But you could also choose not to be offended, this place needs more banter, your choice.

Nothing else is done. I don't want to spend time on it because the whole thing will be retired at some point. Allowing iteration through 0 is annoying as the count of variations would have to be discovered through loops and cached.
