Game News Pillars of Eternity Patch 1.10 Introduces Turn-based Combat Mode, Overhauls Attribute System

[commie]

Let's discuss the benefits of TB versus RTwP once again to pass the time...

 

[ERYFKRAD]

was not fooled.

Ha - I forgot it was the 1st April. It took until reading the comments until I worked out it was a joke. Well done for avoiding the easy path of a Grimoire release schedule.

I did find myself worrying about whether it had been selling well with such a momentous announcement, and worrying about whether it would be implemented well, worrying about whether Josh had lost his role as the avatar of balance, and worrying whether the game would turn into Arcanum 2.

Thanks, you bastards, at least I have less to worry about now.

You like worrying.

 

[SwiftCrack]

lmao this is like specifically targeted at the Codex

 

[HiddenX]

Some hacker should crack the source code and implement this stuff - a self fulfilling prophecy in my book. 1st of April or not.

 

[Bumvelcrow]

You like worrying.

I know - it's a worrying thought...

 

[Dukatenscheisser]

Glad I didn't play this on release with stupid RTWP system. I would be feeling like a fool now. That's why I wait at least 6 months (for patches and new features) before I play any modern game.

 

[GlutenBurger]

The worst part about April fools is all the shitty fucking jokes I have to deal with.

Isn't that the only part April Fool's has?

 

[Israfael]

I had the happiest minute of my life in last 3 or 4 months and then i understood. Fall damage was never that painful. Still, i think TB wouldn't hurt this game, pathfinding is shit and it basically turns into TB anyway on hard difficulty if you want to win tough battles with non-ideal comp like mine.

 

[One-and-a-half-Ivan]

Are they crazy or smth? They should be implementing romances and interracial sex with xaurips.
Absurdian.

 

[serch]

My brain knew this was a joke, but my spine granted me an erection anyway. Now I have a sad woodie. Why Zed, why?

 

[sser]

Fuck this day.

 

[thesheeep]

Fell for it for a short while.
Nice one.

 

[Cassidy]

"Grimoire Released! You will believe a baby can fly!" would have been more convincing.

 

[Elfberserker]

Well played, well played.

I was disappointed for a mere second moment when my brain registered as april fool's joke, but I do enjoy PoE current combat very much and thus only say one word which is enough to show my feelings about learning when turn-based combat was nothing more than a a prank.

"Meh"

Well played.

 

[CitizenXd]

I wike weal time with paws. Whats wong with weal time with paws?

 

[Saark]

You just broke my heart...

Yeah.... I don't know what to believe anymore.

 

[Ludo Lense]

Ah the age old tradition of "never believe anything on the internet on the 1st of april" is never headed.

 

[norolim]

Fuck you Zed. You only got me because I just woke up. Normally, I would've seen it coming from miles away... seriously.

 

[Azeot]

this is the first april fools I fall for in years. Well done and fuck you

 

[tindrli]

GOD DAAMN !!!! i was ... like.. like.. and then ..

 

[naossano]

Ban Zed.

I almost support this. Those two news in a row were too much to handle.

 

[Cadmus]

You think this is a fucking joke? Is this funny to you?
fucking hell, my heart stopped for a second and then I realized that there is nothing better that could happen to this game than a TB combat, I realized I was on the codex and then remembered the date and I felt such a disappointment. Only goes to show how much we all really want this=/

 

[MrMarbles]

Damnit Zed playing with our emotions
