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

I went in for 30 I know I get a digital copy beyond that I'm not sure.

 

[InD_ImaginE]

There is no plan for DLC currently

And any DLC will probably be seperate from base game

 

[deuxhero]

Frankly, rather than do enough DLC to warrant a season pass, they should do an expansion pack. This could be done by giving a new story based on either one of the modules like Crypt of the Everflame trilogy (part 2 is crap because it flat out tells you to make shit up if the PCs aren't retarded, but part 1 is excellent and part 3 is fine), or Dragon's Demand (needs a lot of expansion since it's notorious for being skeletal to the point it needs filler combat to meet the level range it wants) or one of the linear dungeon crawl APs (Rise of the Runelords). Add new classes (Investigator and Mesmerist. Could add Psychic on top of those since their sole problem is "Why not just play Sorcerer?" than actually being hard to implement or total crap.) and whatever new feats/archetypes/spells they can fit in.

I wonder how pets work with paths. Would be silly if you become a lich with a giant mammoth or dinosaur running around you. I doubt they will make skeletal models for every pet just for that. How would pets stack with azata? You get both havoc dragon AND a pet? 8 permanent bodies feel broken.

In the pnp Mythic, you got the option of a single ability that made your companion mythic and did little else. Pet classes falling apart was one of the big problems with mythic.

 

[Nerevar]

I'd pay for a new module as an expansion.

The problem with RPG expansions in a system with hard level caps is that you'd either have to have a progression curve that doesn't reach its limit to account for future content or implement some form of lateral progression, which tends to trivialize some of the main game's difficulty. Personally, I'd prefer another game.

Gothic 2 NotR expansion made the game FAR harder. Returning(fan made addon) also brought a lot of new content but made the game far harder.

As longs the expansion changes the progression on the vanilla game or buffs certain enemies, it can not trivialize the game.

The problem is playing an RPG when there's no way to progress. In Pathfinder, due to a hard level cap of 20, you'd need to do it through itemization or some other parallel system (and we already have one). I don't think it would be compelling for most people (it certainly wouldn't be for me), especially when it's probably more interesting replaying the entire game with another character, mythic paths and whatnot.

It's been a pleasure being with this community. I may take my break. Maybe replay BG 1 modded, or do another NWN 2 playthrough. Updates will be slower now, and the game will take a while to be released. If they delay, which they should.

What if alpha comes out soon?

If alpha comes out soon, I will for sure immediately go back to posting. After all, who will hold the line against the agents of decline!

Also, $2,024,810! Slacker backers should give us more monies! Which means! Bragging rights will be secured for DOS 2!

At this point I would not be surprised if there was an easter egg referencing Pink Eye somewhere in the game.

 

[Drowed]

Pink Eye, the gentle Monk, an NPC that you meet in a random encounter and helps you defeat a group of enemies, and then in a conversation (if he survives the encounter) he tells you about the wonders of being a monk and how he left on a world tour to inspire other adventurers to follow the path of fists in defense of the good. Anonymously, of course.

You discover his name in a diary that he drops when he's leaving, which is a unique usable item that tells his life stories and, when used, gives some kind of permanent buff to the character - or exp points. (EDIT: or maybe unique equipable item if your player character is a monk or whatever).

There's always the quest that the codex gets to design.

 

[Ghulgothas]

Aaaaand that's wrap!

Congratulations, everyone. We've all been suckered into funding a team of crazy russians' HoMM fangame guised as a Pathfinder RPG.

 

[Ontopoly]

We made more money than the DOS2 kick starter made. Next owlcat is going to make a better game than Larian. Owlcat beat Obsidian and now they're moving on to Larian. Fuck those passionless sell out cunts.

 

[Infinitron]

Wait shit it really was Dinosaurs + Hunter.

Thought for sure it be diabloist considering all the demons and devils.

Dinosaurs + Hunter Class

We are almost at the end of the campaign—and another goal is funded! So this is going to be the last one. Please meet a Hunter—a new class to join the roster and help you bond with any animal companion of your choice. By the way, talking about animals: with this goal, the game will feature dinosaurs! Yes, you get it right—a fierce dinosaur is ready to be your companion or even mount. Crusaders, charge!

To arms!

Owlcats

 

[Tweed]

104 minutes and almost 60,000 to go, we ain't gonna make it.

MFW it is a HoMM clone.

There's always post kickstarter slacker backers. Aasimar didn't make the cut initially in the Kingmaker campaign (it was a 1 million goal, and it amassed roughly 900k by the end), but they were funded later. Don't worry, you'll get your dinos.

 

[Tytus]

Long ago, I said the game is gonna make around 1.5 mln because it's on pair with Shadowrun games in popularity. It's time for me to eat those words.

I don't really care about dinosaurs, but Hunter class sounds nice.

Lol people saying good byes in /pfg/

Good bye PinkEye, gonna miss your monk posting. See ya again, when the Alpha comes out - I guess

It seems redundant to me, being the hybrid of ranger and druid, while the ranger is already a mixed fighter/druid, but I'm no expert.

 

[Sordid MCA/Prosper Hybryd]

What exactly is the difference between hunter and ranger?

That's the Ranger.

And that's the Hunter!

 

[Daidre]

Hunter is very similar to Sacred Huntmaster inquisitor from P:K, but gets 6 level of Druid/Ranger's spell instead of Cleric's. Similar focus on free teamwork feats that could be shared on pet.
Only unique thing he has is Animal focus:

Spoiler

At 1st level, a hunter can take on the aspect of an animal as a swift action. She must select one type of animal to emulate, gaining a bonus or special ability based on the type of animal emulated and her hunter level. The hunter can use this ability for a number of minutes per day equal to her level. This duration does not need to be consecutive, but must be spent in 1-minute increments. The hunter can emulate only one animal at a time.

The hunter can also apply one of these aspects to her animal companion. Unlike with the hunter herself, there is no duration on the animal aspect applied to her animal companion. An aspect applied in this way does not count against the hunter’s minutes of duration per day—it remains in effect until the hunter changes it. The companion’s aspect can be the same aspect the hunter has taken on or a different one. The hunter can select or change the animal foci on both herself and her animal companion as part of the same swift action.

If the hunter’s animal companion is dead, the hunter can apply her companion’s animal focus to herself instead of her animal companion. This is in addition to the normal one she can choose, and (as with a companion’s focus) remains in effect until the hunter changes it instead of counting against her minutes per day.

tldr version - up to 3 buffs from thematic pool he can chose for himself and his pet and switch freely when needed.

Aah, we made it to 2mil while I was in dreamport. Took a good dump on the Larian money-grubbers, too. That's nice.

There is no plan for DLC currently

And any DLC will.probably seperate from base game

If you truly believe there are no plans for DLCs, you're a fool.
