ELEX ELEX RELEASE THREAD

[Luckmann]

So, about that quest in front of the Fort:

Spoiler

Is there any way to prevent all those poor bastards from dying?
I was supposed to get them some help to guard the place, but even when I get them 4 people as backup they all die in the battle against the gazillions of big monsters (don't know their name, they look a bit like giant dark spider/minecrawler - breed) that spawn as soon as I got the help.

Oh, so that was a quest? When I came to the fort the guards were already under attack, and my first dialogue with one of the was basically "Bernard is dead", even though I never met someone named Bernard. Only later did I see that some of the guards were named and that Bernard or whatever was one of the ones that bit it.

How's exploration and verticality if one were to avoid using the jetpack, by the way?

much hampered i would believe

I dunno, I started using a cheat for infinite jetpack and the game actually improved considerably.

Edit: The amount of decline votes is funny, because I'm in total incline because my jetpack is infinite.

 

[Junmarko]

Then Jenny Pankratz say perhaps the patch will make the mechanics more "transparent"

AKA: A Game Manual. (unlikely though)

 

[Darth Roxor]

Yeah, this game is in desperate, desperate need of a manual tbh, or at least some sort of fucking quick reference sheet.

Figuring everything out yourself is lovably oldschool mayhap, but if you have to figure out your own damn hp growth or that rmb + lmb = riposte, then there's something very ronk afoot.

or useful loading tips like "if an enemy is too hard to kill remember you have a fucking jetpack"

 

[Grampy_Bone]

While I love Elex, they should learn from these guys how to make Arpg combat






Maybe for Elex 2? Basicaly the characters auto attacks without you touching anything (like it should be in rpg) and then you perform combos, much better Arpg combat then what is in Elex.

Oh eww no, blech, yuck, no. That's MMO combat. Not action-RPG.

PB should learn from From Software, Capcom (Dragon's Dogma), or Platinum Games.

 

[Darth Roxor]

Also, I like how different human enemies have different combat AIs. When I first discovered that the key to melee vs hermans is clobbering them while they parry like tards and deplete their stamina, I feared that was the ultimate in elex melee tictacs, but then it turns out that some don't parry at all just so that they may react with a combo of their own immediately once you are done (albs), or they save up stamina for ripostes (superbandits), or the combination of both (various muties).

rip-off of the mad monks? Both their gods are some giant rocket that doesn't work anymore and just sits in its silo collecting dust, and while one of them worships radiation, the other worships technology. Seems kind of cheap.

 

[jungl]

lol even with its mmo combat xenoblade chronicles 1 had more action based and thinking involved in its boss fights then anything piranha bytes has done. They should honestly retire from the game industry. Gating armor behind factions is the worst design decision ever in this game. Your dude the greatest alb commander and can't figure out how to swing a wrench or steal armor from a bunch of dorks?

Reported for retardo harvesting.

 

[Murk]

I heard companions have different behaviour, and that Ray is for ranged wepon, and engaged in melee very slowly.

Haha, who told you that? All companions have same AI.

Attack from ranged if enemy is far away, when enemy comes close, attack with melee. Doesn't matter if Caja's ranged can destroy enemies, she'll go for her puny melee attack instead of letting me deal with melee.

Ray seems to be the least helpful companion since he only attacks an enemy if I hit them, regardless of the fact that the enemy is aggroing me or not. Other Companions will jump right in even without my initiative, as long as the enemy is aggressive and attacking.

All my companions are like that (won't attack until I hit them first; even when I'm being hit.)

So I found Arx, apparently I had seen him before but thought he was an aggro Alb from a distance and so I never went near.

So uhhh

Spoiler

guy wants you to decapitate a bunch of former allies, he then pretends he read their minds and just gives you keypad codes, and later invites you to a fine cannibal dinner. Yeah, this guy's my drummer.

Can anyone who speaks Rammstein tell me if there is something interesting about next patch / changes / critique here?

Btw " Der Shitstorm, der im Forum der beliebten Fan-Seite World of Elex". Der Shitstorm is my new favourite germanic word.

Proper german term would be "Der Scheissesturm"

 

[Kitchen Utensil]

Na, "Scheißsturm" ist schon richtig. Es heißt auch "Scheißhaufen" (turd), "Scheißhaus" (shitter, crapper) etc.

 

[Joni Odin von Hassenstein]

Na, "Scheißsturm" ist schon richtig. Es heißt auch "Scheißhaufen" (turd), "Scheißhaus" (shitter, crapper) etc.

Kind of, "Scheißsturm" however might lead to the misunderstanding that it's a storm which is shit, while "Scheißesturm" clearly says that it's a storm made of shit.

 

[Kitchen Utensil]

Yeah, true that.
Scheißesturm sounds wrong though.

 

[The Glitterdust Golem]

Psst. Hey, kid. Want to buy some mugs?

 

[Saark]

Na, "Scheißsturm" ist schon richtig. Es heißt auch "Scheißhaufen" (turd), "Scheißhaus" (shitter, crapper) etc.

Considering that shitstorm already got its entry into the Duden years ago, there's no need to translate it at all.

 

[Kitchen Utensil]

lol Duden.

It's just the "cargo cult" archetype, people come up with these scenarios unwittingly all the time.

 

[Fenix]

perhaps the patch will make the mechanics more "transparent" (changing the UI to actually say what's going on with attributes or whatever)

Fucking decline!
I hope it would be optional at least.

Scheißsturm would be a literal translation, but becuase of internet Shitstorm is just one more anglicism.

So, your languge dissolving too under pressure of interlingva.

Good at least in Edan according to reports - roots and all that.

[unfairlight]

Is Ulbricht supposed to

die in the fight for the Alb converter in Ignadon? I could choose to have him fight with my group or the main group, but with both he always died instantly. Couldn't even last the first fight, pussy.

 

[lukaszek]

deterministic system > RNG

 

[Xeon]

I kinda agree about the the better armors being restricted only to after joining a faction being dumb. If I can modify an armor or if the faction armor have a perk of their own or something then I can understand it being restricted but AFAIK its only visual differences for faction armor differences.

I also killed several people of different factions and really irritates me that I can't loot their armor, I can just pretend I am from their faction or something like in Fallout maybe.
