Post-Language-Nerf Loremaster extra -bonus_language

Post by InTheFlesh »

As title, I took Gith as my Level 5 Loremaster bonus language pre-nerf, but it's prompting me to choose another(?) one when I transition, from the restricted languages list. I haven't attempted to see if selecting one will add an unintended extra language or replace Gith.

I wanted to poke this because it's still happening; I get the prompt to choose a secret -bonus_language with EVERY transition my character makes.

Does Gith not count as a "secret bonus language"? Am I safe to pick one of the listed choices without it being an exploit/bug? I partially ask because the constant prompting on my particularly language-heavy character is extremely appetizing.

Gith is a secret language. It's very odd you are being prompted again.
Most likely an accidental logic leftover.
You are free to choose another language, but bear in mind that we may do a second pass to catch any secret language straggler and you might need to rebuild if you want to choose again.

Just for clarification, by "choose another language" you mean "in addition to Gith" or is it with the assumption that this other would would replace Gith?

It seems you've been subject to a (hopefully) rare bug. Normally when you relevel you are supposed to lose the LM secret language. In your case, it seems the language persisted the update con-...
Oh. I think I get what happened.

Anyway - I would advise to hold and avoid selecting a language for a bit. I'll have an update for it soonish.
