KickStarter Stoneshard - open world roguelike RPG - now available on Early Access

[jackofshadows]

Yeah I read about that in the perk tree but never actually saw happen, maybe missed though. It's a good idea to buy out commodities and just stack them in the caravan for these occasions or while you wait for Brynn traders restock anyway.

Are you telling me it’s a Freelancer in a medieval fantasy setting?

Those rare moments when you actually find a piece of equipment that's better than the one you're wearing:

Found in the boss chest of a four skulls contract given by the officer in Denbrie (level 21, fire mage).

In unrelated news: Finally reached Respect in Brynn - thanks to my commodities trading:

Time to go shopping for those level 5 equipment pieces. Good thing my coffers are full - in no small part to my commodities trading:

Holy shit, that diadem I got in that boss chest would have cost 10k gold xD

Anyway, I'll stop shilling commodities trading now.

Hydro I don't know what you mean. Is Freelancer a video game about trading commodities?

 

[jackofshadows]

Where is this guy? Brynn?

 

[Hallgar]

My all court mage (V) set is complete!

Cost me half a fortune and made the vendor the richest guy in Brynn lmao. But it's okay, 'cause I'm about to make some money in the five skulls dungeon now!

jackofshadows Yes, the alchemist is in Brynn in the Docks quarter (bottom right tile) next to the well and the general merchant.

Besides mage equipment, he also sells potions, scrolls and other interesting stuff.

This bug where doors/hallways will randomly generate as an invisible wall and brick you from being able to finish the dungeon is still in the game after 4 years of being reported a decent amount of times, expect now it's 3 tiles wide instead of a single tile.
I can stomach a lot of buggy broken shit (whats up with every second stance/maneuver having some sort of broken mechanic?) and tedious-for-no-reason flaws that the game has, but this thing happening is the most pure form of kick in the nuts.

For want of nails a playthrough was lost.

Time to uninstall and write angry letters to the dev.

You sure you cannot thrash this wooden thing before you? Try it with ctrl.

 

[Pink Eye]

Try it with ctrl.

You can break environment?! All this time... I just left the loot behind then cried a little.

Situation update: Angry letter to the devs retracted, game reinstalled.

I just found a unique item! This is so cool! I've been playing this game for a while now and I've never got a unique before. I can't use it though, which is pretty sad, probably going to sell it for a few gold pieces since traders love to rip me off. Anyways, here's the item:

^isn't that cool or what

Part of me twitches at seeing a glaive (which the sovyna is typically compared to) being listed as a... two-handed axe.

They had to put it there because that's where all the blunt weapons go.

The demo was alright.

The main game is atrocious.
- Small inventory
- Survival mechanism + multiple debuffs which makes the game tedious and make it artificially harder to fight worthy opponents
- Walking back from a dungeon step by step through multiple empty maps
- Walking through multiiple screen cities step by step
- Huge cities empty of content but full of useless filler NPC and houses which takes you hours to explore only to find very little content
- No city map...
- No indication where objectives are in town so you just waste your time running slowly walking step by step through multiple maps searching for a building even though your character should know its location...
- Terrible game design all over
+ oh, but it is pretty!

Conclusion
The whole game is a waste of time, if it wasn't for the art, nobody would play it.

It should have been in real time in neutral areas like cities or even everywhere up until you encounter hostiles.
There whould be a basic map travelling option everywhere from the get go.

Kind of sounds like Baldur's Gate, is it that good?

 

[Snufkin]

Folks delete this shit and install Path of Achra or TOME. Dont forget to thank me later.

Cool new trailer:

 

[kain30]

But is it still in early access? Is going to be like 7 days to die? I think it was EA for 14 years...

 

[PlayerEmers]

Cool new trailer:

>gameplay trailer
>no random bugs that can kill your permadeath character
>trailer is not 30 minutes of walking around on empty tiles at snail pace

i dont see real gameplay here

But is it still in early access?

Yeah. And will be for a while still

Par for the course.

 

[thesecret1]

Weren't they supposed to come up with an updated roadmap sometime around now?
