The opposite already existed in knowledge domain in pfk.

And not just there. The broken part, as with the Persuasion version, is the action economy.

Beta download is on.

It's actually... smaller? The download is only 14 GB and Steam only require 18 GB I think?

Isn't it unavailable on Steam until the proper release?

Both Alpha and Beta is distributed through Steam key through Steam Beta testing fature. It is not public and thus won't appear in store.

>Now that you're comfortable with your new dice, it's time to see about replacing your enemies with something a little more... convenient. For you. Whenever a hostile creature with 50ft of you passes a save or lands an attack, it must reroll and take the worse result.

Think that 4chan leak is BS, I've checked Discord and saw nothing of the sort. Unfortunate.

No, no, I'm sure Owlcat is retarded enough to include something so broken.

The whole point of the mythic paths is to be able to create broken demi god characters.

No, you got Steam Key from Backer Portal. It's in Digital Download part or something like that

Hmm... might've jumped on the alpha wagon had I known. Anyhow, since we've already got to the beta stage, did Owlcat give an ETA for the full release?

No official word. Lol they barely get this Beta out in time I think with delaying their stream even. KS state that it is June but really I doubt that they will keep that timeline with Beta progress. Beta Chapter 4 is still with some content missing Discord say

Beta is here!

Greetings, Pathfinders!

Today is the day - the beta has started!

Since Stage 2 of the Alpha Test, we have done a lot of work. There are some big changes in the new version of the game - turn-based mode, new UI, rest and crafting, and 4th chapter. You will also see new beautiful character models, weather effects, and some additions to the Crusade.

And, starting from this moment, you can stream Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous or create videos using the in-game footage up to Act 3. We are sure that there will be a lot of new faces streaming Pathfinder or creating content about it, which is so exciting!
If you want to leave feedback or ask questions - you can do this on our forum or in Discord. And you can join our new subreddit - we are preparing some cool stuff for it


Beta means incomplete
Our game is closing to the finish line, but there is still a lot of work to do. Certain content and features are still missing. For instance,

• Not all of the archetypes and prestige classes have been implemented yet
• The character creation features are not final and do not fully represent the final game content regarding character customization.
• Army gameplay is not finished
• There are still some placeholders
• Weather effects need some polishing
• A small part of the UI hasn’t been updated yet
• Some bugs with NPC death animation and mounted combat animations
• Art for some of the locations in Act 4 is missing
• English texts in Act 4 haven’t been proofread yet, in other languages part of the translation before Act 3 is missing

We strongly advise you to read all the known issues that are present in the current build. They all can be found here.

If you face any bugs, please, report them following this guide.


How to download Beta?

You need to log into your account on https://wrath.owlcatgames.com/, then click on your email in the upper right corner, and go to Digital Downloads. You should be able to see your beta key there. Then activate your beta code on Steam and start downloading the game!


Now, to the main additions...

Spoiler

Rest and Crafting
One of the things you should understand about Worldwound - there are no beautiful lush forests or peaceful plains. It is a demon-infested wasteland and a journey through it is not an easy feat. While in the open you are exposed to corrupting influence of the Worldwound, which will hinder you in different ways. The longer you stay in the wild - the harsher effects you will get.

And a new feature you will see in Beta, and that has already captured your attention, is crafting. You will be able to create potions and scrolls during the rest (later there will be an option to create soups, but it isn’t available in Beta).
To craft those consumables you need either Brew Potion or Scribe Scrolls feats.
Potions and scrolls are self-descriptive. Depending on ingredients and character's level/skill you can get different kinds of potions and scrolls. Creating a potion or a scroll might take up to 5 days (depending on how powerful it is).
Cooking is also coming back for Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, you will even see some of the old recipes coming back. But we will share more details later.

New Rest UI

Turn-based Mode
With the beta, the turn-based mode is coming to Wrath of the Righteous!
There is nothing more to tell, except that there might be bugs with some new classes and how they interact with this system.


New UI
There are a lot of changes and it would take too much time to list them all. As you can see, the UI has changed pretty drastically and it is still in development. Character creation and level up, transitions, map, rest, meta-magic - nearly everything was changed to make the UI better. The only part of UI that hasn’t been implemented yet is Encyclopedia.
We hope that our new UI is much more readable and will help you make your decisions during character creation and level up easier.
There were some other ideas about how different parts of the UI should look, about which we might talk sometime later in the future

New Character Creation Screen

Act 4
A new Act to play through. It contains everything you expect - plot development, Mythic and companion quests, side quests, and exploration! We wanted to provide you with the whole experience for this part of the game, so we included all of the locations - even those that are currently missing textures. In all other locations the scenery there is terrific and, later, every location in Act 4 will look great. We don’t want to spoil it for you with additional details, but we can say that it will be an otherworldly experience.



And that’s it. There are a lot of smaller changes, but we won’t list them here.
Join our stream at https://www.twitch.tv/owlcatgames and watch us play beta at 12 PM EST/9 AM PST/6 PM CET/8 PM MSC on February 2nd. Oh, this is right now!

We are currently working on the new surveys for you to help us understand what you like and don’t like about Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, and looking forward to your feedback in our Discord and on the forum. Only together we can make this game reach its full potential and become a cult classic.


To arms, Crusaders!

Now, it begins in earnest.

Crusaders, Assemble! Beta and Community Quest Launch Today

Hello Pathfinders,

You may have thought that the Beta launch would be enough of big news for one day, but we have much more stocked up for you! Prepare for some surprises.

Guess you are yearning for new visual content. That’s why along with Beta we are releasing an epic combat gameplay trailer. Please make yourself comfortable and enjoy:

Also, in celebration of the beta launch, we’re now starting the big interactive “Choose Your Own Story” Community Quest!

In Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, you will lead the Fifth Crusade, battle with demons, meet loyal companions, acquire incredible power, and make choices that will decide the fate of the entire world. To see if you're ready to shoulder such awesome responsibility, we've prepared a special quest – a series of five choices that will determine the fate of the Hero and the crusaders, as well as the plot of the final game trailer. You and the other participants will jointly decide what path the Hero takes.

The first event will be a Twitch game. It will begin this Friday, February 5, at 2 PM CET / 5 AM PST. You, our fellow crusaders, will have to come together and choose between two options to determine the protagonist’s moral alignment and the story’s cinematic conclusion. Vote by clicking buttons on screen (via Twitch Extension) and moving your virtual Paladin and Lich avatars, which represent the inner demons residing within the heart of the protagonist. Will the story’s hero break the staff of the Necromancer or use it to fulfill his selfish desires? The ultimate decision depends on which avatar crosses the finish line first. But stay alerted - the game won’t go as simple as that, as there will be some hindrances along the way.

Visit the website hub to find the details and stay tuned to the community progress! Once the first event takes place, we will soon reveal the details on the next part of the Community Quest.

Members of the Owlcat dev team will sometimes go on air during the game, to talk about the beta, answer your questions, comment on the game situation and have fun with chat. Also, expect massive giveaways in the chat And to set a great start of the show we’ll have a very special guest. Cohh Carnage will join us at the very beginning, so make sure not to miss it!

To Arms!

Owlcats.

So I haven't really been paying attention to the development of the game since I've been waiting for the full release, but does this mean that the current beta basically has the full story?
Do we know the general length of the game compared to Kingmaker now? I imagine it's a bit shorter with more replayability, but I'm curious what it looks like so far.

Nope. Two chapters missing.

NOoooooooooooo... Owlcat why? Why fall for the illusion of craft.. My favorite aspect of first game was no bullshit crafting mechanic.

 

[The_Mask]

BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I FUCKING KNEW IT!!!

So far this looks like the BG series! P:K = BG 1. WOTR = BG 2.

SO FAR, I AM SO STOKED TO HAVE INVESTED IN THIS!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~!

 

[Jackpot]

Nope. Two chapters missing.

So when they say that the game is nearing the finish line and list a bunch of relatively minor things they still need to work on, does that just mean that the game *up to act 4* is almost done, and they still need to do all the work on the two final chapters?
Or are they almost done with the whole game and they just aren't releasing the two final chapters in the beta?

Its Pathfinder crafting. Its like buying items at a discount during rest, with maybe some time needed to deliver.

Nothing is really certain. But I do know that one chapter was released during Alpha's lifetime. And that Mishulin said something along the lines of 'we aimed for 100 hours with Kingmaker and ended up with 120, this time we are aiming for 80 hours hoping to get 100'. So look for a still monstrous yet more focused experience.

 

[Desiderius]

It’s going to be longer than P:K.

 

[Robber Baron]

Yay, animated cutscenes.

 

[Ontopoly]

They definitely made the tutorial easier compared to kingmaker. No more save scumming the tutorial.
