Might and Magic Might & Magic X Pre-Release Thread

Why does the Freemage have to be a healer? Can't he be a wielder of sinister powers of pouring molten lead into the bones of his foes?

 

Next-gen games and titles that claim to be evolving the genre, no matter how sophisticated they think they are, will always pale in comparison when a true computer role-playing game like Legacy emerges on the market.

 

I've been keeping as far away from the demo as my willpower allows me until the final version comes out, but aside some pretty minor annoyances (like that promo code shit) I'm really looking forward to this. Having people like you and Broseph confirn that Limbic "gets it" when making this a M&M game makes me less and less sceptical. Can't wait for the final release.

 

well they got a team of neckbeards guiding them.

 

Yet another triumph for autism. Thank you, based Blakemore.

 

I really don't get that description of it being a healing class, given this passage:

Shouldn't there be a class that is more properly focused on healing?

 

Made the plunge, I was holding off for the official patch to be released.

Time to make an Orc only team and machete through everything.

 

I, of course, agree. But according to most people in this thread previously, it's also about a lot of other things, including setting and story

 

I have a similar plan, except I'm waiting for the full game before playing. Use all the orc classes, select a fourth character that makes up for their shortcomings (presumably defence or healing), and annoy the neighbours by shouting "Waagh!" as I hack my way through the world.

I might also play a second run in parallel using a more carefully selected party, depending on how much spare time I have at that point.

 

Healing potions are so powerful (and unlimited) in the current build, that 4X Orc Barbarian is actually one of the most effective builds.

 

That was a bug, actually. The owner will lock himself inside the store. Amazing how they fucked that up since the DLC that causes that is NOT the one that actually affects said store.

 

Could someone give me a breakdown of what promo codes/pre-order exclusives/collector's edition/Cracker Jack prizes/et cetera are on offer for this game?

Is this pretty much it for its "BUY NOW OR YOU'LL BE A HAVE-NOT PEASANT FOREVER" features?

 

The map looks very clean and cute.

 

Not a classic looking Might & Magic map by any stretch, but it's the quality of content that counts.

 

Removing alchemy was definitely... questionable. I understand the time issue (alchemy is a big skill set with big consequences), but still. At least the editor means we can fix these things. Usually I'm not a big fan of "the mods will fix it", but having such a toolset in a good blobber engine is pretty nice.

 

I hope there are some obscure hidden areas out in the watch and such. That was one of my favorite parts of the earlier games, getting swimming/teleport and reaching areas you couldn't reach before. The map looks kinda landlocked.

 

Not sure if it's actually the case, but there are already some islands off the coast of Sorpigal that look as if they might be explorable (i.e, geometry you can see with more details than they would have if they were just there to be seen from the shore, like an earthen ramp that leads up from the water).

 

So what's the Kodex Konsensus? Worth to buy?

 

It is still in beta, but hell yeah it worth a buy.

 

If you are a blobber fan, no reason not to pre-order for the benefits and to play it on release.

Whether to play it and "ruin" the experience for you before it's ready to play in its entirety (i.e, past act 1) is another question altogether. Gameplay is pretty addicting after years of no good, full-featured blobbers, so be forewarned. Ultimately it comes down to personal taste.
