Absurdian can't into resource management

Josh can. It's their players who can't.

 

[Sannom]

I just don't get what's so cool about "empowerment"? Anyone here is excited with being able to cast more powerful versions of the same spells 3 times between rests? Doesn't it sound like just a gimmick added for rest incentive?

Well, it kind of feels like a new thing for this kind of game. For all we know, it will be enough of a game-changer to justify having it be the new per-rest resource. Like at low-level having the electric grasp jump to three enemies instead of zero could make a fight much easier.

Sawyer hates wizards, that's a know fact.

 

[Sannom]

Oh yeah, definitely. I mean, whatever was left of D&D's Wizard in PoE is gone, it's D&D's Sorcerer all the way down now!

 

[Lacrymas]

I'm thinking injuries should be nuff incentive & they should hurt to be so.

If you can somehow manage to never, or very rarely, have injuries then not really.

Maybe, that would explain the sudden shift, although I don't know if I approve this, let's say, "consumer-centric" design. Everything gets watered down if you try to feed it to the general public, that's not a criticism in this context, just reality/an observation. I really have no idea what to expect from PoE2 at this point in a mechanical sense just because of this one, admittedly huge, change.

 

[Delterius]

I don't approve if that's what you're suggesting.

Get on with the times you grognard 8D.

Giving NPC abilities and crits a chance to injure our characters which should increase the less health a character has etc. already talked about this some months back, its their job to BALANCE how often characters should get injured. And there will be much more scripted interactions in Deadfire; which gave injuries more often in WM than the base game, even if you are a lot above the stat/skill check.

Any of you guys managed to find good ways to fuck the eyeless up? I managed to do okay using aloth's magic missle that shoots in an aura around him. That really really just rapes.

Slicken is just SUPER EFFECTIVE against them. They go down and stay there until you cast another one. And another. And another. You will wipe the floor with them.

Can someone explain to me how Brisk Recitation works exactly? The chanter's ability reducing chanting time with levels.

Passive that speeds up the time to complete each phrase in your chant, meaning you should be able to fire off invocations more frequently.

I understand that much but does it reduce the lingering duration of the chants? Does it mean I can fit more phrases into same lingering period? It's a really confusing and unexplained part.

[Quillon]

glancing over community hub...

Just so you know, there seems to be this strange community of people that spends all their time finding more ways to complain about Pillars of Eternity.

:D

 

[Lacrymas]

They are still patching PoE1? Lol.

 

[Roguey]

They are still patching PoE1? Lol.

The latest fix pack for Baldur's Gate was released in 2011, for 2, 2013.

 

[Infinitron]

inb4 Patch 4.0 in 2019 backports PoE2's system into PoE1.

 

[vortex]

We could just drop patch title for PoE and called them the balance packs.

Over a gigabyte update...for minor fixes: https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/92761-306-live-on-steam-gog-and-origin/

Patch 3.06 is now live on Steam, GoG, and Origin (Mac store should be coming next week).

This is a small patch addresses 3 issues:

• Fixed the assign/recall button on the Stronghold Adventure UI.
• Fixed Nightshroud missing its DR reduction. This fix will only work on games that haven't acquired the weapon.
• The White March Part II instruction popup will no longer be shown after the first save-load in a new campaign.

 

[Roguey]

Those are some serious "why bother" fixes.

 

[Athelas]

Over a gigabyte update...for minor fixes

That's what they want you to believe.

 

[Sentinel]

Pretty sure that got fixed in Unity 5 though.

 

[LESS T_T]

I wondered...and oh, it's Paradox. It's backlash of Paradox increasing prices in some regions. Other Paradox games are getting hit too.

 

[Roguey]

Why are third worlders who already bought something complaining about a price they don't have to pay?

 

[Iznaliu]

Pretty sure that got fixed in Unity 5 though.

It's a feature, not a bug.
