Wasteland The Wasteland 2 Beta Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

1000hp seems really bad when comapred to the characters' hit points in that screenshot. I mean, is the scorpion gonna do 2 damage per hit? Cause if it does reasonable damage the characetrs simply won't be able tog et hit. Or do the characters do lots more damage. HP bloat is awful. It was one of the worse things about DA2 9amongst other games). Dumb dumb.

You've just discovered the magic of making game trailers!

That is... cheats save a lot of time.

wut?

Did the same for the AoD & Underrail trailers... but I pasted a more decent UI over it later.

sea How much longer will it take to send out the Collector Editions? Is this due to having to get everyone to sign the boxes (which appears to be around 1500 of them)?

It's due to the pack-in extras being manufactured elsewhere and needing to be added to the existing boxes, which is not needed for the standard boxes. As for how long it'll be, I'm not sure on that one.

Are all the same people still signing the box as stated on the KS?

 

[felipepepe]

More importantly, will sea and BN sign it? :3

Dat 1000 HP Scorpitron.

Great! Let me get my proton axes.

 

[Invictus]

I didnt back this but played some of the early beta and the latest builds and this looks simply awesome, everything from the ui to the performance seems to be right and I will get this as soon as it is available on gog

 

[Volourn]

Yup, I had doubts too, but it looks to be shaping up into a fun playable... almost the opposite of PE which i actually did back (it'll probably be okay but nowhere near as good as I thought it would be)...

Well, i doubt linear map design in the first part of the game has been fixed, which was arguably the biggest flaw of the game, that and the lack of originality (which seems to still be there).
Other than that the feel of the combat seems to have improved a lot but im not sure it will ever be good, we shall see.
I believe the trailer does an amazing job at showcasing the game tho, kudos to whomever made it.

 

[Roguey]

So the same as D:OS. Roguey butthurt incoming.

You're mistaken http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/inde...al-physical-release-drama.93976/#post-3470855

inXile actually learned from Larian's mistake and nipped complaints in the bud by offering DRM-free copies.

How they're going to patch it might be fun to watch though.

[undecaf]

€45?

I know D:OS is only €5 cheaper, but in some weird way it sounds more appropriate and appetizing a price for that sort of game.

None of my concern, though.

Not yet! Since they don't give access to the game yet we won't distribute 'em until at release.

It's the Digital Deluxe edition. The game's release price is $40/€40/35 GBP (same as D:OS)

Catering to euro monopoly money is part of the decline of the Great American RPG.

Any words on California's level design? I've heard that the first half of this game is too linear, and I'd like to know if inXile tried to solve this.

Well, it's not a matter of "solve", as in, it's not like we re-designed California from scratch based on feedback on AZ (though lessons learned were applied of course). California was always designed to have a more open feel, more Fallout-like areas, more non-hostile locations in states of faction-vs-faction tension. There's a number of reasons for that, some are intentional design (Highpool and AgCenter both really are kind of tutorial-esque, more contained levels, and serve that purpose well), the other one is as Monty's pointed out before, stuff you work on later tends to be better. They learned from making Arizona (shouldn't say "we" there really as this is before my time mostly), and applied those lessons to LA even before feedback came in. Now note I don't agree AZ is bad, I think it's pretty good, and I think a lot of the non-linearity problems are solved now that almost all starting areas are open with starting equipment (do need better radsuits for the last two), but yeah, LA is better. I'm looking forward to people playing it.

That'd probably lower the value.

 

[Decado]

I really liked the bullets-into-the-screen effect that inXile had originally for when encounters began. Can that toggle on/off? It was p. cool.

Or maybe like a 20% chance of this happening or only happening for important encounters or something.

Yeah, something like this would be cool too. Maybe seeing it all the time got annoying? I dunno, but I thought it was pretty good looking.

 

[FeelTheRads]

Still seems annoying that they still have that "encounter begins" thing. It's really unnecessary, just a waste of time.

1000hp is not bad or bloated for the scorpitron, less hp even than I expected, slicer dicers go down like nothing by the time you reach damonta, and IIRC my tough guy melee bloke had well over 100 hp.
In general you'll have 6 rangers doing 50-100 damage per turn depending on the weapons, late tier are probably even stronger.

If you look the scorpitron does have 10 armor, while slicerdicers have 2.
