Eternity Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire + DLC Thread - now with turn-based combat!

[fantadomat]

LoL this games is soooo dead,in a year time it will be like numanuma with 50 dudes playing it. I was curious if the dlc will sell a few copies but it seems that it is dead. I was expecting at least 5000 peak.

Here is the steam chart and it is pretty dire,for comparison the game had around 1700-1800 people 24 hours peak. It seems that the dlc is selling pretty poorly.

What a joke. Guess Patel's moved on to Outer Worlds.

Pls dont

Lol 70% of encounters are monster closets.

Also my PC crashed 3 times when fighting first pack of frost not-temple of eothas totally design-shadows in a very unique way with monitor losing signal. PoE is the only game that does it and it happens during casting druid's Vengeful Storm spell
and there's quite a lot of other bugs including plot bugs, script bugs and characters stuttering after getting hit by push spells


where's Durance? Cause I'm finishing last portal boringkingdom and he wasn't on bridge


They made me kill mama bear
+"temple of decline" I am not sure Obsidian is taking their writing seriously anymore, at all

Vatnik is okay though, and his spells are alright.

Nvidias shitty drivers

Has Obsidian done any performance improvements since that guy released his performance fix a while back?

 

[aweigh]

can anyone tell me which DoCaroc ending I need to choose in the history builder to guarantee her breastplate shows up?

EDIT: as an aside (just curious) is there any reason NOT to choose to have sacrificed companions that don't show up in PoE2 to the blood pool in the history-builder, just to begin with all their bonuses? I doubt much anything would change, and there's no negative to doing this.

my first time i started poe2 I never even knew there was a history-builder, I just mashed buttons until game started, so since i'm restarting now anyways (lost the saves in a reformat) thought i might as well power game the fuck out of it with the history builder, make sure all the loot spawns.

edit 2x: what's the other item that eder can start with besides the medallion?

Spare Harmke

 

[rusty_shackleford]

did they flesh out any of the companion-non-companions since release?

 

[Safav Hamon]

Ydwin got fleshed out a little

Spoiler

One of the endings of Beast of Winter allows you to sacrifice her to Rymrgand in order to escape The White Void

 

[Lexx]

The only problem is, I really don't like Ydwin. Especially because she's the first in my party to die in like any combat encounter.

The messenger and some other folks were easy to defeat, what makes me problems are these ice monster things. They fuck me up in seconds with their spells and I have no idea how to counter that. Maybe I should level up some more, getting above lvl 15 or something, but I honestly don't feel the motivation to get back to the main lands right now.

Anyone else notice an annoying new bug introduced in 2.0? Sometimes one of those floating combat status things gets stuck on the screen (damage numbers, status effect etc), and only clears after quitting to desktop and restarting the game. Go Obsidian

I got a number 9 stuck on screen right before fighting the messenger dragon, it prevented me from going downhill to meet him, party got stuck and cursor turned into red square which indicates not being able to move party.

Thought it was just my review copy being unpolished, turn out it's the same in final build. Luckily they did fix all those crashes

I personally is waiting for all the DLCs and patches to come out before a replay. Could be that others are waiting too.

 

[aweigh]

They decided to completely disable the intro ship battle, LOL. Now the game just goes into the beach wreck after a few seconds.

Guess they just didn't want to keep dealing with all those WHERE IS EDER!?!?!?! posts from people who got him killed in the intro fight.

Also they apparently did this dirty cos I got flanked in the intro ship fight right before it triggered the scene override and the affliction got permanently stuck on my character. I had to download UnityConsole mod and remove it because the regular game console couldn't remove it.

EDIT: Are sand footprints not showing for anyone else? I have it ticked but they're not showing. Might be related to windowed mode because Unity uses really bad ways of windowing applications.

Oh yes, I had multiple of them floating through whole expansion right from the start

Heavy armor or armor with high cold res + Druid's Weather the Storm would counter even potd crits. Their frost spells can have up to 16 pen if they crit. So you need 17 to protect yourself 100%. PoE lacks the uniform d&d system where mages, clerics & druids could all cast same protections, but you can just drink potion of Ironskin for example. It's same armor everywhere.

In my case just quitting to the main menu and reloading from there worked (reload from ingame wasn't enough though).

 

[Shadenuat]

btw Nerisyclas has 5500 base hp.
in comparison, Firkraag had ~180.

and that's the only difficult part about her.

can't wait for their *mega-bosses*

 

[Lacrymas]

PoE has much more bloated numbers than D&D, so no surprise there.

 

[Shadenuat]

All other dragons in game have 1000 to 1500, including last boss.

But don't weapons do more damage as well?

 

[Shadenuat]

Not 30 times more damage

eventually I just was laying my face on the keyboard and mumbling "r we there yet??" every minute or so

 

[Lacrymas]

They might've overtuned her HP. That's why you have to wait for patches for the DLC as well as the main game.

Bet you guys miss Josh now, huh?
