DISCUSS!

Oh and it seems spells are tossed into feats.

 

[Fens]

i think the discussion in the best thread ever already has all aspects of this sorry affair covered

including startling revelations about jaesun

[Aldebaran]

Evidently whenever you die, you can pay real money to be revived. I imagine some of the people on Facebook will end up paying well over sixty dollars on this game.

I don't have a facebook, and I never will.

[PorkaMorka]

I was totally going to try this game but...

I don't have a facebook, and I never will.

It's weird that mandatory facebook games are so successful, you'd think excluding potential customers would be bad for business.

Couldn't they do like "facebook optional" games?

 

[Jaesun]

Interestingly, as Cynic pointed out in another thread, this is the LAST Atari D&D game we will ever see.

So what's happening with the license? Will ZeniMax get hold of it?

 

[Cassidy]

I am a faggot who thinks the Internet is the only means of making friends

OK fag. Move along.

Given his colour, it's probably a rape card.

That's the question I'm wondering. I don't think Zenimax/Bethesda would be interested in that licence (god help us). Granted there really is not any large Publishers out there that want to make party based, stats and skill heavy cRPG's.

So whoever they pick, we still lose.

 

[Roguey]

I wanted to get into this but it has so many dealbreakers:
a) no attacks of opportunity
b) no sneak attacks for rogues, so they're only good for lockpicking/trap disarming
c) can only create one character, the rest you have to either hire with gold (which apparently isn't remotely replenished enough in dungeons so you could potentially hire a full party, go through a dungeon, and end up with a net loss) or use other Facebook users (or alts) which is meh.
d) If you go with the users/alts thing there's a cooldown on whether you can use them again in another dungeon unless they have full health when you complete the dungeon. Or you can pay them money of course.
e) Tangentially related to d, I really really really hate microtransactions.
Volourn) nO dWARVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And so on. Makes Knights of the Chalice look more impressive than it is.

 

[Jaesun]

a) no attacks of opportunity

jebus.

Hows the combat?

 

[MMXI]

Granted there really is not any large Publishers out there that want to make party based, stats and skill .

Since when did that stop anyone from (ab)using the license?

 

[Angelo85]

My guess is dwarfs will be introduced along with a class (currently only four: Mage, Cleric, Rogue and Warrior) as pay content.

I set up a facebook account for some other game a couple month back so I could check this one out without much hassle.
Major gripe aside from what was mentioned already: the game has this gorram energy bar thing (go on an adventure -> spend energy, refills slowly or buy to replenish).

DO NOT PLAY

PS: anybody else seeing a pattern to my potential friends or whatever that list on the right is?

 

[Surf Solar]

Pizza derp/hassle?

 

[Angelo85]

Yeah, interestingly enough the search for 'Pizza derp' brought up a pic of some kinda solar surfing dude... whatever that was all about?

Actually that was hard work, or a hassle as you may put it, for the Codex: http://rpgcodex.net/phpBB/viewtopic.php ... 53#1811753

Thanks BRO. Since I know you have excellent taste in turn-based and combat/skill games I shall avoid my fate of ever having a facebook account. whew!

 

[Fowyr]

I don't have a facebook, and I never will.

 

[RK47]

I'm playing it now in the office. yay!

 

[Angelo85]

What is this madness RK? Haven't you read the playground?
