I think I know what happened and built a possible fix for it. This may or may not work, so just be aware.

Do you remember what confession it happened in?

Gotcha, I'll look into it tomorrow then

Yes, he has been ordained before in my previous runs, i got lucky.

Question on that: has he been ordained before and he lucked into not being ordained? Or is it he's just not ordained altogether?

Found another bug, The Exemplar still has a chance of not being ordained.
In the Steadfast Steward Update they made him guaranteed to spawn with an Ordainment, no more 10% chance of lucking out the fight.

Nice!

Bastard's Beacon now works correctly

Sent out a fix attempt for it. Let me know if it works, as well as other problems!

Everything seems to work fine, except The Lair Bosses don't become ordained with Bastard's Beacon.

Update's out. I think I was able to hit the entire problem actually. Let me know if you see any inconsistencies or bugs!

Gotcha. I think I have a rough idea of how I'm going to handle this. I'll do it in pieces for you and others to test. Be ready for an update in the coming days!

3) And also, i'm not sure if the mod changes that, but Exemplar will now always be Ordained (no more 90% chance), and the Ancient Adversary (That one secret boss statue of the Ancestor) will never be Ordained.

2)They removed 10% resist piercing buff and reworked the special effects of Act 2, 4 and 5. The effects of Act 1 and 3 remain unchanged. I played Act 2, just in case the change somehow affected only Act 1 and 3, nope, the Act 2's Ordainment is also broken.

Act 2 specific buffs have been changed from Apply On Hit: 1 (10%) to Round End: gain Apply On Hit: 3 when self HP is 100%

Act 4 specific buffs have been changed from Apply On Hit: (10%) & Vulnerable (5%) to Round End: Convert Block+ to Strength, Block to Block+, Dodge+ to Crit, Dodge to Dodge+

Act 5 specific buffs have been changed from Apply On Hit: (10%) and Round Start: gain Crit (10%) & Vulnerable (5%) to Apply On Critical Hit: Invert 1 Positive Token and Apply to Attacker When Crit: 1

1)The DMG/HP buffs are reduced in Act 1 and 2, as usual.
Act 1: Region 1: +10% Max HP, Region 2: +20% Max HP & +20% DMG
Act 2: Region 1: +10% Max HP, Region 2: +20% Max HP & +20% DMG, Region 3: +30% Max HP & +30% DMG

Hello icole,

I don't play DD2 for now, so I don't know exactly what's expected for this mod. I'll need you to work with me to figure out what's expected.

First question: What are the general buffs like? These are things like hp and dmg buffs (and the long since removed speed buff). I see you mentioned acts 3-5. What are acts 1-2 like?

Second question: What are the confession specific buffs like? These are things like On Crit: Steal (or was it copy?) positive token when playing in obsession.

Third question: Is there anything else unmentioned that's expected?

Feel free to answer across multiple replies!

Hey Mister Developer, the Steadfast Steward Update is out, and Ordainment buffs are just gone with this mod enabled. (The ordained enemies have no buffs whatsoever) I played Acts 1 and 3, the ordainment buffs were gone in both acts.
This update reworked the ordainment buffs and the DMG/HP buffs are now scailing depending on a region you're currently in. The DMG/HP buffs on act 3, 4 and 5 are:
Region 1: +20% Max HP & +20% DMG
Region 2: +30% Max HP & +30% DMG
Region 3: +40% Max HP & +40% DMG
Everything else seems to work just fine.

Update's out, let me know if your issues still persist icole! Keep in mind, if you end up playing without bastard's beacon, remember that there is a 10% chance for the exemplar to not be ordained as part of the intended ordainment changes.

That matches up perfectly with the fix i was thinking about. Will update in the near future.

Exemplar wasn't ordained in Denial and Resentment, but he was in Obsession, don't know about other two acts though.

@icole when you ran into your bugs, were they happening in denial/resentment? I might have a fix cooked up for exemplar, but I wanna double check a fact with you.

Update's out for DMG/HP buffs. I don't really have the time to test right now, but the fix was so simple that I'm confident in it. Let me know if it broke stuff though!

Ohhhh, I see. Gotcha, gotcha. That should be relatively easy to fix. Not so sure on exemplar tho O.O

The dmg/hp buffs in act 1 are +20%, and +30% in act 2. They're not equal to other acts, where it's +40%.

Can you be a bit more specific in regards to the DMG/HP buffs? As for Exemplar, I have enough info to start digging into that.

I meant DMG/HP buffs are not normalized, sorry.
And i did a test run, the ordainment bug is not unique to Bastard's Beacon.

Oh, also, what do you mean by ordainment is not normalized? Do you mean the dmg/hp buffs? Or the side effects like token copy in obsession?

@icole1500._. can you do me a test? Try a run without bastard's beacon. It can be another infernal flame, just not one that messes with ordainment. Do a run or two like that. Is everything normal there? I'm trying to see if maybe bastard's beacon ordainment is unique.

And also The Exemplar does not get ordained with Bastard's Beacon for some reason

Great mod, but i found a little bug.
Ordainment is not normalized, at least with Bastard's Beacon.

it means everything is now Cowardice difficulty, you guys!

yeah the description is rather ambiguous, i dont really get what you mean by "normalizing". I assume youre tweaking chances on many things but id appreciate a more direct description of what this mod does lol

A bit unsure of what this mod is doing exactly. For example when you say you're normalizing Region Amount does this mean that Denial gets more Regions before the Mountain and say Cowardice requires fewer?

Also have you enabled Elite/Champion enemies in earlier confessions? Miniboss encounters? Sluice? I much prefer running Denial most of the time because of how fast it is, but really miss out on a lot of content doing so.
