Pathfinder Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous Beta Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Thonius]

I reiterate: Ratfolk's only notable ability is sharing the square of another ratfolk. That's garbage in a game without squares.

There are alternate traits. Most noticeable epic trait for solo runs:
Cornered Fury: Ratfolk can fight viciously when cut off from friends and allies. Whenever a ratfolk with this racial trait is reduced to half or fewer of his hit points, and has no conscious ally within 30 feet, he gains a +2 racial bonus on melee attack rolls and to Armor Class. This racial trait replaces swarming.

Now lets compare this to the shape-shifting which does exactly jack shit and serve no purpose but to I ques ?????? well I don't know. FOX WITH SWORD MAN! I just don't see it that shape-shifting can affect game anyway, maybe 1-2 dialog tops. In other words gimmick that good on PnP that wont translate to game. Alternate traits for fox are meh too.

I wonder if Owlcats - unintentionally - created another swarm-like gateway. This time not against functionally illiterate Westerners, but against ADHD zoomers.

It took me about 12 hours to vote. I have written nothing to the forum support, no "pings", no messages. I pressed several links several times, got my activation email (and then 3 more), logged in - and waited. They assigned the badge in, like, 1-2 hours. Then I browsed some topics, joined the group of Kitsune supporters and closed the forum for good. I was going to wait until the next day, but decided to check before going to bed - and got my vote.

So may be don't expect something to always work momentarily? May be remember what you were doing an hour ago? May be concentrate on a goal for more than 2 minutes? Something like that?

As an ADHD zoomer I never had and thouble with the swarm. It just makes logical fucking sense that you can't defeat hundreds of bugs with a bloody sword.
People seem to treat PF:KM as a hack and slash sometimes and expect to just be able to cut through any enemy without thinking about it.

Probably you have some functional literacy as those evil 1%-ers do.

Well: https://forum.owlcatgames.com/t/no-email-for-password-reset/24662

Also, their newspost about the vote says "message Mordheim" but when you go to your messages section in your profile, there is no UI for writing a new message.

 

[LannTheStupid]

I see some whining of people who cannot repeat the same action 3-4 times. And who expect any result to be delivered right now.

 

[AwesomeButton]

TBH what this feels like is, programmers managing tasks, someone says "we need to set up this forum with badges, and make a custom badge be added to backer profiles", and someone else saying, aah, it's web shit, how complex can it be. And then someone taking the task as something to do besides his other work on the game.

 

[LannTheStupid]

Well, I see it from a different angle.

Adding backers is a one-time task (no matter how many of them are), so they probably have not automated it well enough. I suspect they have some scripts, but those scripts might require manual launch or at least human monitoring. With the vote the demand increased sharply, which they could have underestimated, so may be some ad-hoc solutions are devloped and deployed even now.

I mean there is literally a 3rd party option called Backerkit for this kind of stuff (including for voting stuff, and as you need to use the Backerkit portal to confirm your pledge anyway it ensures people who pledged will vote). Everybody and their mother use Backerkit. The fact that Owlcat is trying to do everything by themselves including making a portal and then having an inefficient forum registration system and voting system honestly is just plan stupid.

I guess they save several hundreds of dollars I guess by doing it themselves?

EDIT: they actually saved at least 40k USD I guess by not using Backerkit, it is actually quite expensive:

2% of campaign funds + 5% of funds raised in BackerKit + $199 setup fee

or

3% of campaign funds + 0% of funds raised in BackerKit + $199 setup fee

Considering the campaign made 2 million USD that's at least 40k USD

Also, they can kick a programmer in the next cubicle if something goes wrong instead of waiting for response from somewhere across the globe.

But yes, that's the problem with Russian programmers. We're always trying do reinvent the wheel. With Kingmaker it worked; with S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - not that much.

Well, this whole poll over antropomorphic animal races feels like "choose which dildo you want us to shove in your ass, but shoving one is mandatory", so I don't much care which will win.

 

[Infinitron]

Am I the only one who had zero problems voting? I filled out all my information the day I registered on the backer portal and it just worked.

I cried to the community managers at day one and they had me sorted out within a day or so.

better double check, maybe you just omitted possible bugs.

What would've you lost waiting 7 days out of 30 available for voting?

what was wrong with stalker?
its a great game.

That monk life truly makes you look at things from a different perspective.

After you register on the forum, do you have to do anything more before you get your backer's badge?

 

[Thonius]

There is whole instruction in your mail. You need to link accounts.

Sounds like managing our shekels bought you some special privileges. Not that I'm complaining, mind you, it makes perfects sense. They wouldn't want the guy who brought in all that cash to be dissatisfied.

My accounts were linked by Infinitron giving my email to Owlcat. I already had an account at their forums created with the same email from my paypal, which I used when donating through the codex fundraiser.

I had to change my password for the forum, and my email already existed in the database of users.

My tireless shilling has paid off well too evidently.

Well done, Owlcat, well done.

Don't worry, if the poll races follow the same path as the Tielfings in Kingmaker you'll be shoving all three in.

 

[Cryomancer]

I don't care about kitsunes, but what is the problem WHEN(not if) they win the poll?
