To anyone still subscribed to this, and the comment section of it, I know a lot of you have since moved on from playing Titan Quest. Upon Eternal Embers release a huge complaint was only being playable on Legendary difficulty, and thus this mod's inception came, to make legendary difficulty less intimidating. It never really achieved what I wanted to though, because of lack of modding experience and time.

Those that are still interested or get notified, I have made Eternal Embers accessible on Normal difficulty, although it's still a work in progress. Here is the mod.

Nope, no mod will ever turn off achievements.

Does the mod turn off achievements?

Yes, EXP is *5, idk how I missed that. But there's no x2 enemies,spawn multiplier is set to 100 on all versions. (x1)

I don't know when I'll update this, but it's in my future plan to. I will be completely reworking it, so it's only one version. I think choice is good, but I can compromise all versions into a more streamlined experience.

And I forgot to mention :

Exp is x5, not x2. Ennemies are x2.

Does this Mod will have an update?

All of them do

Does it work like loot plus? Where you select it in custom quest and it takes you to the standard game screen?

I don't have a modified database.arz on here anymore because I have to keep injecting the mod into the database every time it gets updated, for all versions.

You should be able to use this mod just fine with playing a session with Custom Quest. If you wanted a database.arz edit for overriding the default then I don't know when I'll get round to doing that. Probably when they officially release a patch for EE, still waiting for public beta to go live.

The database.arz seems to have reset itself back to the original status. How do replace it again?

No problem. The things you need to modify inside playergamebalanceattributes.dbr when you open the file are: Defensive Parameters -> Defensive Absolute -> Defensive Pierce/Fire/Cold/Lightning/Poison/Life and Defensive Special -> Slow Bleeding

OK, Thanks

You don't need to change the game.dll, though if you want to make Epic/Legendary items enchantable with components then you need to change Hex.

If you download the mod, you can find your steamapps/workshop directory where the mod is located. Inside of \EEaccessible\eeacc\database\records\game you will find the file I modified, playergamebalanceattributes.dbr. You can check it out in ArtManager.

There is a Player defense section, I forgot the exact name but all the set parameters for Resistances for difficulties are in there. By default, they are 0;*;*;;-40;*:*;-100, but I set them to all be 0.

Is it possible to know how you manage to remove resist penalty, changing some Hex in game.dll perhaps ?
Thanks

I'm in the beta yes. But I wasn't sure if they added that only to the beta or in general. I never saw a note about it specifically

@Wicca-san

In the files I edited, I set it so that the experience gain was set from minus to 0. Not having a positive or negative value for EXP should have removed it off the items themselves as a stat.

You talk about a set piece, is that the public beta? Because I don't have access to these database records, or at least I can't find the dragon king set in the Xpack4/item/Sets

I meant rollbacks I do myself because something got messed up and I missed it, not the mod rollbacks.

Ooh, small thing. The exp modifier seems to be back on Dragon King gear (probably because they added the set piece modifiers)

I like em all!

Lol, sorry about that. I will eventually make multiple versions, so if you don't like a feature you can have it just as Resist changes, or with Loot Plus / XP ontop of it.

Definitely works now, judging by the movement of my XP bar

It should work now with the new version I uploaded. Let me know. I got to lvl 2 way before I reached the shaman. Also don't worry about rollbacks, 99% of these mods don't touch your character's save data.

I only did it to see if it worked. I tend to be the lucky one and have problems with mods so I always try to make sure they are working before dumping time into a game that I modded. I hate to waste hours on a game and then have to rollback because of something not working right that I didn't catch before hand.

Yes, don't worry it's not something of your fault. I actually tested it myself, and I actually messed something up (these kind of things can happen, when you don't play your own mod). Nobody reported on it before, so thank you. I will be fixing it.

So, I completely uninstalled the game(even did the extra wipe of all residual(left over) files with the uninstaller I use), reinstalled it, made a new character, killed first 3 mobs and got the same xp. So, it's either like you said, too low, or its not working. I unsubbed from the mod and did no changes to anything. Oh well, I will turn this mod back on and just play the game! Thanks for talking through it. :)

That makes sense then as to why I got the same exp. I will do a quick test without the .arz database as well.

Yes, if you replace your database.arz, this mod will always be active, so even if you click play from main screen and don't load custom quest, your game is already using it inside the game files already by default.

No problem. Well, you can use this mod for the Loot Pus and Exp gains regardless of difficulty. The only change here that affects Legendary is penalties to resistances, at epic you take a -40% reduction all your resists, that becomes -100% in Legendary. The rest applies to Normal.

Also I'll try test out the experience thing for you, it could be that the XP multiplier and the XP gained is so low that it isn't showing much of a difference, since the formula uses player and monster level. I'm going to test it with a higher number by myself.

I wish I could edit my posts -_- I want to add, I did place that .arz file into the stated location, so, does that mean that the mod is always on and hence why I got the same xp both times? I created a custom, went to single player, killed first 3 mobs, checked xp, had 44. Completely relaunched the game from desktop, made a new character without custom game being made first, went and killed first 3 mobs, got 44 xp again.

Also, sorry for my question, new to the game. All the hours I have played are from years ago and I barely played it, but I want to give it another shot and the hours played recently are from just sitting here reading skills in game, and reading guides while having the game open. So, I have like no knowledge about this game basically. After re-reading the description, I get the impression that it's only meant for Epic/Legendary and not normal?

You just load it through Custom quest, it'll bring you back to the main campaign character selection, then you click play. I could check the mod's files to see if there's anything wrong though.

OK, so I made a character on normal and killed the first 3 mobs attacking the horse, both with and without the mod and got the same amount of exp as I did with the mod. How do I know if the mod is working?

You can play multiplayer with mods, just the client and host needs the same exact mod I believe.

After you start a custom game to force the mod to load, do you have to play single player main campaign, or can you host multiplayer main campaign?

Thanks !

Yes, that's perfectly fine. These modifications only apply if you load a session through Custom Quest.

Can i use this on normal for Loot+ and 2x Experience so its less of a drag and then play Epic/legendary normaly if i wanted to without issues ? Ty

I'm not actually at 70 yet, so I had to use a different helm to equip most of it as it was. And I had to complete Epic as it was. Now Im 1/3 through Greece in Legendary.

It's gone! Thank you so much!

The -20% XP should be removed. Let me know, since I can't test it myself.

Dragon King's Mantle
Dragon King's Lamellar
Dragon King's Talons
Dragon King's Stride

Also, I may just have to get you the expansion sometime for all this help

Would it be easier for you to just adjust the normal XP bonus? Looking it up either way lol

If you can give me the plain text item name of all of them, I can look for it in the database.

Just the Dragon King unique gear that Im aware of. It's the only one that drops constantly in the first area from one of the chests

Yeah I can do that. I don't own the DLC though, so I don't know every single item that does that.

Now if only you could get it to remove the XP negative in the equipment we get from starting a new hero in the Embers expansion

Yes, as long as the host and client use the mod as well.

THIS MOD WORKS ONLINE?

Ty so much for this mod! (Though I'm probably still going to have trouble with Cerberus cause poison resist sucks :-P)

No problem, if you experience any difficulties feel free to explain them and I can try and make additional changes :)
