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

[meeneque]

Fooled! Feel like shit now.

 

[Black]

I don't know if it's wise to make jokes of a far superior game if you want people to believe it

 

[kain30]

i hate april 1st... you got me excited for nothing! LOL

 

[AwesomeDude]

Welp, I got rused hard.

 

[hiver]

Wut?

WUT?



oh.. April fools. ok.
didnt even see its the first today...

fuck you so very much. assholes.

 

[Agame]

Well that got me to... I was in a happy place for a very brief time. Fuck you April 1st.

I think ToEE's combat was brilliant, its a shame its never been repeated (that I know of, have any games used its system?)

 

[Black]

Kind of surprised so many people are upset about this. "Tim Cain shoehorning turn-based combat into a real-time game at the last minute! Second time's the charm!"

Because even Tim's shoehorned tb would most likely be better than Sawyer's balanced rtwp, faglord.

I wish that the april's fools it that this is a true news hidden as a fake.
Anyway, if it turns out to be true, i will sure restart and probably delete old saves.

 

[Ladonna]

Well, I haven't actually bought the game yet. Too many games still on the playlist, too much real life in the way. But for the first minute of this thread I was preparing to head on over to GoG and make a purchase, right then and there...

And it wasn't just any old Turn based...it was TOEE turn based...forget that sad, watered down version in Arcanum (even if I still love the game).

Back on the back burner.

 

[Jools]

turn-based combat

AAAAND IT'S FAP TIMEEEEEEEEEE!

(but, seriously, will I have to restart my game? AGAIN?)

9/10, would furiously fap to videos of it on youtube.

Spoiler

Inb4 April's fools.

 

[shihonage]

Tim: I’m familiar with a lot of these [realtime] systems in Pillars and how to convert them [to turn-based]. Again I’m just saying that…

...

(cut to horrific Arcanum flashbacks)

 

[Grunker]

Inb4

well...

 

[VonVentrue]

Yeah... very funny. So, SO funny.
Both my productivity and employee morale have officially gone down the drain, I'll most probably spend the rest of the day wondering "what could have been".

 

[J_C]

Fuck you! Fuck all of you! I believed it!

 

[Viata]

I don't know what is worse, this joke or the link to the Obsidian's forum. At least this one is supposed to be funny.

[tindrli]

RTwP was definitely bad choice

C&C, bro, C&C.

 

[Konjad]

LOL that was aprils fool joke btw no turn based combat for POE, just a normal patch fixing bugs

 

[Minttunator]

Funny stuff, almost had me! The sad part is, though, that the combat would probably indeed be much better as turn-based.

ok, Zed got me. Good one.

 

[naossano]

I am not sure RTWP is bad per se. Just that i much prefer TB.

 

[TwinkieGorilla]

Posting in this thread to say I wasn't fooled at all.



p.s. DarkUnderlord where have the days of epic april fools lock-out rpg adventures gone?

For a few seconds after reading the headline I was joyful then I remembered that today's 1st of April:

 

[Lycanthrope]

Turn-based combat would be perfect!
