ELEX ELEX RELEASE THREAD

[fantadomat]

I am replaying the game for X time now and just running around exploring casually. I am curious at what is the lore of the toxic hearts in the exile territory.

I couldn't figure out if those were meant to be world hearts that were left unattended for too long and had "gone bad", or if that is actually the desired end state of the world heart once it's self sufficient -- since those areas are very lush and green.

Yeah,the game is filled with such small mysteries and hits at something hidden. Maybe the mana just wants to turn the world in to toxic swamp. Also the mage chick's quests was pretty interesting and look forward to being finished in the next ELEX.

fucking what, the combat in this game is not anywhere near as bad as everyone i read made it out to be. Its completely serviceable once you turn off the retarded autolock. Better than skyrim or witcher 3 combat, albeit maybe not as pretty as the latter (who cares).

I maintain that the average gamer just gets buttblasted about not being able to spam mouse 1 to victory and makes up lies about games.

Eh, I recently came back to Elex to finally finish it. I've found the combat... quite painful current year. Much worse then I remembered in fact.
I did suffer trough (well, I had a Munchkin character ready), but really hope the devs can improve it a ton in part 2.
Plus I pretty much had to rely on rotten tactics to win (super healing soups, spamming cleric temporal immortality while meleeing, decoy clones, drinking lots of energy drinks).
Playing another faction must be a nightmare....

... Unless you spam grenades I guess.

One of the main issues is that the combat system mainly supports (somewhat poorly but still) duels. Meanwhile you're facing ungodly hordes of enemies all the time...

you have to turn off that retarded default autotarget shit to deal with multiple enemies. It still isnt easy, but then, its not supposed to be.

 

[Terenty]

You can roll, you can block, the hit boxes are perfectly fine, you can even use the jetpack in a tight spot.

Git gud in other words

Is there a mod to make npc traders to restock after 2-3 days?

Nigga they restock some shit just by quitting and retalking to them.

 

[razvedchiki]

the beserker spell aspect of the warrior adds flat 50 dmg to melee weapons or 50%?

 

[Elex]

IIRC is flat 50.

 

[razvedchiki]

do you base that from experience or from the spells description? because many times the descriptions are deceptive/wrong.

 

[cretin]

if you dont like this game its because you're gay and take it up your fag ass, and thats all there is to say on the matter

[JDR13]

Cool, but do they say anything about Elex 2?

 

[abnaxus]

Elder Scrolls: Redguard

 

[Painmaster]

Cool, but do they say anything about Elex 2?

No, basically they say they're going to announce their new game this year. Gamescom is mentioned but it's not sure if Gamescom is even happening this year.
Also work on their current game is not really delayed by the current crisis.

I don't speak Hitler, anything relevant in there?

Yeah. They are out of gas.

Yeah. They are out of gas.

Cooking gas or the other variety?

 

[Lyre Mors]

From what I gathered from watching a bit with auto-translated subtitles, they're essentially saying that themselves and other members of the team are able to continue working from home without much hindrance at all. Typical kind of Covid-19 developer update we've been seeing lately.

Don't know what toro is referring to.

PIRANHA BYTES & FRIENDS bundle on steam - showing only as costing 12$ for me including Elex (16$)

Yes, they are saying everything will be all right after Steiner's attack.

Yep that was an amazing sale on steam. I picked up the Gothic universe pack for $6.

Elex was on sale recently so I finally got around to buying it (the price was extortionate on release).

First impressions:

• Had to use an .ini config tweak to get rid of the fog shit that was all over everything
• After doing that, the graphics seemed serviceable. Have everything on high with TLAA. I actually think previous PB games looked better, but I'm not a graphics fag when it comes to PB
• So far it seems like PB are back to doing what they do best, no ridiculous story shit like there was in Risen 3 that made me uninstall and refund within the first 10 minutes
• No stuttering, pretty well optimised it seems
• Jetpack is glorious
• Reminds me a lot of Gothic 3 and Risen, given that you can go anywhere you want right from the get go, and you can get wiped out by terrifying monsters if you're not careful
• I got to the first town but I don't want to join up with a bunch of technophobes, so I'm going to try to find the guys who like technology, and if I can join up with the evil faction with the cool jet planes, even better

If you're not too far yet I HIGHLY recommend the Overhaul mod that changes some items and weapon stats around and brings many other welcome changes, since the OG balancing was pants-on-head retarded. The early phase was a combat-devoid adventure game and from the mid-game on it was a mind numbing roflstop devoid of any challenge.

I'm on my 2nd run now with the mod and so far it's a MUCH better experience.
