Solasta Solasta: Crown of the Magister Thread - now with Palace of Ice sequel DLC

[Generic-Giant-Spider]

And just like that, Myzzrym was never seen/heard from again on RPG Codex.

Listen Myzzrym, I never liked the cut of your game from way back in the demo. Wasting money on voice acting, going with the shittiest ruleset next to 4E, cinematic kill cams, a UI that makes a cemetery seem full of life, needless genocide of spiders. You were riding on bad faith with me right from the very start. Then you did something I really didn't like: you responded and told me my views on the UI were misguided and I was wrong. First off, my momma told me I'm always right. You calling my momma a liar? Last guy that did that forgot everything he learned from elementary school.

But then I saw your dev updates, I saw the cat pictures. Now you may have fooled some people with this "oh it's cute and whimsical" shit, but I know what it really was. It was an encroaching fog of destruction. You see I've been single since late 2016 and I know what sort of creatures love cat pictures and they all have one thing in common: incurable head trauma. I wanted to think it wasn't true, maybe you're just some nice guy dad that when not game developing or reading RA Salvatore you're constructing railroads for your model train hobby. Maybe after a nice square meal your highschool sweetheart of 20 years cooked up you go to your basement, make the mini locomotives go in circles with a conductor hat on and find artistic inspiration in it all.

Release day comes. I've not touched this game, saving myself like it's prom night, I go on Codex and expect to see discussion. I see a pronoun screen, I see you Myzzrym on the Steam forums defending this shit by saying a transsexual is a valid person too (lie), and worst of all I'm getting all this information from Jenkem. JENKEM. Of all the fucking posters, I am getting this unloading from the guy that plays games where furry raccoons have sex with their furry raccoon mothers. Do you know how humiliating that is from a pointless Internet feud standpoint?

And worst of all, you're gone. You'll never return. You got everyone all excited, then at the stroke of midnight you unleashed the payload. This is exactly what Happy New Year 1999 did to my old IBM family computer. Everyone was enjoying the fireworks and then you came from behind and FUCKED them good.

So listen up Myzzrym you little bitch, you little, uh, uh, cocksucka, if you're half the they you think you are you'll come back here. You'll come here and get your self-esteem set back thirty years and you'll like it. Every day you skip town I swear to God I am going to Chinatown and buying a cat to eat AND I'm requesting to the Chinese lady to let me keep each head she cleaves off. Don't try me, motherfucker.

You know he's dealing with the steam forums, devs personal forums, and other social media for launch right?

Plus hes gone awol for weeks before from the dex.

But yeah maybe he won't return here sure but he gets the benefit of the doubt at least for a month I think.

This is how wizards works on 5e.

I'll keep fighting against that but you may be right, given sleep's initial showing. Still, I'm sure as hell not going to reroll my party. This'll also serve as a good change of pace for when/if I roll up a new party, I'll be able to take paladin and ranger as classes I missed the first time around and by then theoretically they'll have added sorcerers so I can go full-nuker with a caster. Just will have one slot in the wind for a new party.

Don't believe his sweet little lies, controllers are good in 5e. Better than Evokers even. The problem is that Solasta gave the enemies absurdly high saves on max difficulty, so that even a weak save is +3. But on lower difficulties they should clear house.
It is just that the strong spells are shuffled around a bit. Classics like Blindness and Colour Spray are shit, stuff like Hypnotic Pattern is golden.

My shock arcanist, at lv 3 is dishing 8d6 damage with scorting ray, 4 rays each one dishing 2d6 damage . IS about the same damage of my PF:WoTR necromancer at end of the first chapter, on lv 8 with the same spell. The unique difference is that is 2 rays doing 4d6 damage each and enemies evade easier and I can hit enemies with guiding bolt making the rays far more likely to land.

This while a dominate person on 5E lasts one minute(compared to a day on 3E which allow you to troll NPC's really hard), require concentration and the target can re make a save after taking each point of damage.

This is the big level 3 control spell for Wizards.

The big level 2 spell is usually web, but that is not in. Early game control WIzards have to make by with Tasha's hideaus laught, sleep, hold person and darkness.

 

[Volourn]

"needless genocide of spiders."

No such thing.

 

[Cryomancer]

Btw, I'm not sure why anyone would pick any Wizard subclass other than Shock Arcanist.

A Druid fanboy which is pissed cuz he can't play as a druid would pick a green mage for flavor only.

8d6 damage at lv 3... That is insane powerful.

 

[Volourn]

Why do sylvan elves know the dwarven langauge. They live in forests. HOLY FUKK NUTZ.

I'm pacing in the front yard like an enraged black man that got stiffed on a drug deal. GET OUT HERE, BITCH.

 

[TumblingTorin]

Man, I hate the update they did that changed the faces. I had a guy with a young looking face and now he has an old and fat face and looks constantly sad. And why did they replace that cool artwork icon when selecting your race. Now it's just their shitty 3d models standing as an icon.
It is such a pain moving items between your characters inventory. You select the character icons on the far left and and grab the items from the inventory on the far right to the icons back at the far left. Should of just had the character icons and the inventory on the left. It's not like you need to move your mouse at your character stats in your inventory. The important stats are on a separate screen anyway.

And what's with Myzzrym response to the trans question? Just say "We wanted to be inclusive to trans people." and that's it. It's basic PR. No need to be combative about. I guess now that the company has people's money, it's ok to burn down bridges.

 

[Denim Destroyer]

This game needs a character preview option when you are selecting your party members at the beginning. I somehow managed to have a paladin and ranger with the same voice while my wizard is not too far off. Also how is there such a huge disconnect between player model graphics and background art? The backgrounds are the Spellforce 3 tier of amazing but they are pretty good while the characters look like something made in a day using a ten year out of date version of Blender.

 

[holla_cabezas_de_mierda]

Trans person in a high fantasy world makes no sense.

I hate the fact that I even have to type this, because it's not leading to anywhere constructive, but: a "trans person" would (eventually) be either a male or a female in gender (with the added % of synthetic help, I guess). Adding "they" isn't on the topic of "trans people are still people", it's just trying to be hip with the leftist crowd. It's pandering.

And, ironically, I don't think that particular demographic even cares about this game much. I don't know... as I said, it's not going anywhere constructive. *shrugs*

Other than that particular box, the whole other 99.9% of the game is great.

yeah I love this game, but I honestly don't even understand the "they" bullshit.... do 'they' think they are two people? WTF is it even about? Just pick a fucking pronoun bitch, I don't give a fuck which one... and I am going to call you whichever one you look like to me, and that is the end of it, I am not going to put anymore effort or thought into it than that, and I don't give a fucking shit either.

You sound pretty furious for someone who doesn't care

I am just tired of it being in every game. They are like .05% of the population, you would think they are some % of the population that actually mattered w/ how much they get appeased, which means they are just being used for an agenda and, yeah that is annoying because they likely don't even care about the game except to make it publicly take a knee to their agenda.

Btw, I'm not sure why anyone would pick any Wizard subclass other than Shock Arcanist.

A Druid fanboy which is pissed cuz he can't play as a druid would pick a green mage for flavor only.

I picked a Loremaster for additional spells. I forgot about scroll scribing
But I also played my mage more as a cc/utility caster, the way I usually do, so I don't mind losing the additional damage.

 

[Ninjerk]

Yeah, elves seem to be the optimal choice for basically anything. I have 2 dwarves and 2 elves, but it would've been better if everyone were an elf.

ERYFKRAD light the fires. Call the clans to battle.

 

[Bara]

Wouldnt it be crawling in the front yard? As spiders do.

 

[Lacrymas]

Btw, I'm not sure why anyone would pick any Wizard subclass other than Shock Arcanist.

+25% damage to Magic Missiles right there, at level 2, immediately after the tutorial. Too strong, too fast.
But people who want to play a druid will have to pick the greensomething subclass, because THERE'S NO DRUID.

Isn't the Greenmage a Ranger-lite rather than Druid? Even if you make a party in which a Ranger/Wizard multiclass seems like a reasonable and interesting choice, I don't see why you wouldn't go for Shock Arcanist in every context ever. Also, what's up with Loremaster? Worst subclass in the game?

 

[V_K]

It's a simple balance:
1. It doesn't take any resources to implement.
2. It makes some people a little happier.
3. It doesn't take away from anyone's enjoyment except for Trump cultists who'll find things to be butthurt about anyway.
So while there's only a slight incentive for the devs to do it, there are literally no reasons not to.

 

[*-*/\--/\~]

So I tried it, created my characters, started the game and... nothing. Loading screen hangs forever. How the hell did this pass even the most basic testing? Regret to say I simply rage-refunded it. Good luck with the next game.

I cannot tell you how delighted I am that this game is pozzed sjw shit.

 

[lycanwarrior]

I played a little bit (roughly an hour) during Early Access a few months ago. Can I resume from that same save or do I need to start a new playthrough instead?

I get where you're coming from, but do not underestimate the power and harm that these "SJWs" can inflict on companies and individuals with the "cancel culture" bullshit.

Will you fags stop getting meltdowns bout pronouns? It just a fuckin word

SHUTTHEFUCKUP

 

[jackofshadows]

Go into settings>GUI and check 'Confine Cursor to Window'.

Thanks, it did work despite that it suppose to describe some other, barely related stuff.

Not entirely sure, but I think the voice preview button you get at the end samples your character's personality.

Yes you can hear voice samples on the last stage of creating a character but you have to write down which one did you choose for every char because you cannot check it afterwards.

EDIT: it's possible to open C:\Users\username\AppData\LocalLow\Tactical Adventures\Solasta\Characters any char file with notepad++ hex editor and search for voice, then change if needed (fem1/fem2 etc).

Just ignore it and it will go away bro

 

[The_Mask]

Btw, I'm not sure why anyone would pick any Wizard subclass other than Shock Arcanist.

I roleplayed a Loremaster, and it's fun to pass every check with no problem. It's like having a walking library with the party. It shines outside of combat. Neat.

 

[Grampy_Bone]

Sadly just starting in a town and having a world map makes the game better than BG3.

Why 5e ruleset, just why.

Every turn: miss miss miss hit, miss miss hit miss, miss hit miss miss. No charge, no flank.

It's nice you can shove dudes off of ledges I guess. That was peak 4E design though. Every combat had to take place over spike pits or lava, or the enemies would never die.

Will you fags stop getting meltdowns bout pronouns? It just a fuckin word

It's telling how many people attack the act of pointing this out instead of defending the gayness. What does killing monsters and looting dungeons have to do with men ejaculating into each other's rectums exactly?
