Eternity Pillars of Eternity II Beta Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Lacrymas]

Basic food is plentiful, I doubt you'll ever, ever run out of it. It's extremely cheap and the vendor has unlimited quantities of it. Unless they change that, I don't see how supplies will be an issue.

That's easy: limit the amount that can be packed on a ship.

 

[FreeKaner]

They will sadly never implement basic economy like it was in Expeditions: Conquistador. Where prices of goods and foods change depending on ports.

I'm kind of wary of the whole ship-management thing now, tbh, it seems unnecessary and a bit of a feature bloat. I think it will turn into pointless busywork of automatically going to a vendor to buy enough supplies and then stop thinking about it.

Btw, I haven't mentioned the load times yet. They are pretty great. Performance is kind of shitty, people are reporting uneven FPS even on a 1080ti.

As a replacement to utterly pointless stronghold, ship management is great.

If they can cram in enough entertaining and interesting ship-related content (mutinies, storms, spooky abandoned gallies, sunken treasure, etc.) - I won't mind a bit of busywork.

 

[Lacrymas]

Mutinies, storms, spooky abandoned gallies and what have you can be in there without having to buy supplies every time you go to a vendor. I wish they make it as closely as possible to the stronghold in NWN2, extra game-wide quests, extra people that you can recruit for it, fun events, etc. Instead of making it a mini-game of pointless tedium. You do get to recruit a person for it in the beta, though, so that's good.

The only rpg that i liked its food system is Might and Magic. In the other ones it feel like a busy work,in the first PoE was retarded. You could only have 6 rest items but you could go around with 200 swords,300 armours and 100 shields....yeah realistic. It would have been ok if you can stack 200 and forget about this shit. This was the only thing i used the console in that game. By the way does it have the same console?

 

[CptMace]

You could only have 6 rest items

 

[Efe]

6?? i thought it was much lower. is it tied to difficulty?

 

[Lacrymas]

Yes, 6 on easy, 4 on normal, and 2 on hard and PotD.

 

[Sizzle]

6?? i thought it was much lower. is it tied to difficulty?

Yes. Unlimited on Story Mode, 6 for easy (now we know how he played it :D ), 4 on normal, etc.

Dissapointed about poor performance reports. One of the biggest issues with the original was its shitty performance, especially the how load times got bigger as you progressed through the game, becoming unbearable by the end.

Fucking unity...

 

[Sizzle]

Performance was also unoptimized in PoE1's beta, but they significantly reduced the load times in this one, so it bodes well.

 

[Lacrymas]

They said they are working on optimizing it. That doesn't mean they will be successful at that, of course.

 

[IHaveHugeNick]

Are we really going to have this discussion again? Of course performance in beta sucks, that's why it's called a beta. More news at 11.

 

[Jezal_k23]

Less than ideal performance has been an issue for years. I doubt it'll suddenly get fixed between now and Deadfire's release.

Performance in the original still sucks to this day, and was a fucking catastrophe well into launch. What makes you think it will be different this time around?

Have you tried playing it on a machine that wasn't borrowed from a WW2 museum?

 

[Jenkem]

lmao fantadomat BTFO

 

[fantadomat]

I fucked myself here,hahahahahaha. Nah i didn't play the game on story mode even if i am a storyfag,played on normal or hard,depending on the battle. Don't know why i did go with 6,seemed logical,anyway never use them,as i said i cheated to get endless rest .

 

[Kem0sabe]

My machine can run underrail very smoothly and that is a far more complex and demanding game... I expect at least the same from PoE

 

[fantadomat]

lmao fantadomat BTFO

Love you too oh star of positivity,may you live in even more interesting times!

I have a pretty crappy old machine and, besides the loading times, everything works well in PoE1.

Now, if you want to talk about something truly unoptimized - play (or better yet - don't :D ) Torment: Tides of Numenera :D
