So how does the nightmares status effects work? In the past it drained 5% stamina on the first turn only and then caused dmg under 3 turns (maybe 4, I don't know).

However right now the status works like the stamina leak effect, it drains stamina every turn, in addition to dmg!

Is it intentional?

Hasn't it always been like this? Just much more noticeable when you have a billion consecutive turns

@Boro-Wing said in Nightmares status effect:

No it hasn't, description even says after initial attack.

Weird. Anyways, Im very welcome to the change honestly, that status effect needed a buff bad

@Boro-Wing but I never saw anything about changing the effect, that's why I ask it here, in the Bugs section.

If it's intentional, then okay
If it's not, then @Carlos?

Hi. Nightmares should remove stamina and life. I just realized description is wrong.

Thanks for reporting!

@Carlos This doesnt really answer the question clearly. Is stamina supposed to be drained only on the first turn (like it was before), or, has it been changed permanently so that stamina is drained throughout all 4 turns?

Stamina and life will be removed as long as status effect is applied.

@Carlos said in Nightmares status effect:

Stamina and life will be removed as long as status effect is applied.

So it has been buffed then. Anything else been re-balanced that we should know about?

Looks like it was done time ago, is not a recent change.

After checking config, I just realized that some nightmares are working as the description says, and others as I just mentioned (the recent monster nightmares).

I'm adding a task on myself to unify Nightmares on one functionality, and to notify in the official channels this change.

Our intention is to avoid "sneaky" rebalancings. We want to be transparent and inform you the what and the why (and the when)

Thank you!

@Carlos Thank you. I wondered why it's draining stamina for some monsters and not for some others. Thanks for clarification

@Carlos It still removes stamina upon application, so the first turn with it removes double as much. Not sure if it's a bug or not.

While we are currently fighting Ixofex, wouldn't it make sense if nightmare will make our attacks against dark weaker? This is the most realistic buff about nightmare i can imagine..

@TheSwedishHippo Hej!

I love that idea, but we are not going to change it
