Torment Torment: Tides of Numenera Pre-Release Thread [ALPHA RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[evdk]

Polish Visa cards use some kind of three digit security code that is not supported by Amazon (literally there is no window to enter it anymore) and the credit card company here in Potatoland rejects all payments without it. Maybe this code is not required in other countires.

That's the CVV code. Never had any problem with it and I shop at Amazon regularly. Must be a potato thing.
EDIT: Admittedly, I have Mastercard, but that should not matter as both companies use it.

 

[MicoSelva]

Well, Polish Visa company was extremely butthurt over my payments lacking this code, so maybe it's some kind of Potato law thing regarding internet money transfer.

Exactly. Personal favorite is him saying putting it on consoles will help stimulate computer RPG growth.

My Visa works fine there, so it seems that some potatoes are more potato than others.

Generally the CCV code is required in Internet transaction. It's just obsolete US thing that credit cards can at all be used without it in internet transation.. Still, I've got my Polish card and it works fine on Amazon. It just makes me feel uneasy trusting some bank employee to compare my address to validate this.

Did you that the Kraken is a giant squid?

Lies! propaganda! Its a giant octopus man... dont believe the hype!

Still, i would want to see companions having some balls and personality that will react in more substantial manner then just a line or two of dialogue.

This. True reactivity is all about the unpredictability of your actions, i would love to see your companions not give a damn about you and are in it for their own personal power trip, or just throw a hissy fit because they don't want to go and save the princess or simply backstab you because they are greedy bastards.

Not only that but the inevitability of their personalities and actions, no matter how much you butter them up with dialogue they will still be (mostly) the same people they were at the start of the adventure.

Yeah... well, the things Lafferty mentioned did kinda hint into that direction in some details. And she did say quite clearly they will leave you at times.
I guess its just my paranoia talking.

Its just too fucking little info to get a clear picture.

That thing about me somehow transferring my "pain" to them... sounds good at first but, just brings ten questions more about it, that just hang there, yapping.
Is it only to them? if yeas then Why?
If not then.. what? i can transfer my pain to anyone? no, why not*

Are they going to just jump onto my lap, or am i going to have to do anything to get them?
Yes - why? No -why?

: grrr! :

 

[Hormalakh]

I'm going to do the same this time (I'm going for the $28 tier anyway), so if someone here wants a discounted $20 slot, send me a PM. The slot should be up for grabs when I cancel my pledge and move to PP.

I'll forewarn tho; $20 slots jump in and out like crazy, and the annoying thing is you'll very often find yourself with your Amazon payment registered, but then when you return to Kickstarter it'll say $20 tier sold out, and you'll have to go back and cancel your Amazon payment. Got a lot of notes about this, so keep that in mind, you'd have to be pretty quick about it to avoid this bit of weirdness.

Damnit this happened to me. How can I find out if my payment to Amazon went through and how can I cancel it?

We are overthinking this... desperately need a good rpg release in the next few months to calm everyone down, Shadowrun is the closest thing to a crpg coming up, right?

Maybe that's the issue there? My city name (Poznań) is listed as "Poznan" on my Amazon account. Maybe some automated shit compares these two and finds a difference?

While 'traitors' has been done before, I'd like to see the latter in the form of someone you can forgive or manage despite their constant greed, ala Jayne from Firefly. Someone with a unique role that makes you think twice about the gut reaction of 'holy shit, my companion just screwed me over, they're DEAD!' Naturally still with choices later to re-backstab them for some extra satisfaction, if the PC desires such.

A 'necessary evil' type, basically, would be cool.

I stopped reading at "Jayne". WE NEED A JAYNE-LIKE CHARACTER IN TORMENT! NAO!

No. It is AoD. Out Thursday.

But seriously it may be Conquistador.

https://payments.amazon.com/ > account settings > Payment Authorizations
It's just payment authorization though, it's not an order. I canceled the useless ones just in case, but I don't think you need to do it. It's just that money is taken from your card only after the KS ends and you should be only charged with your final pledge, even though you authorized some more options. KS doesn't even inform you about this even though huge amount of people change their pledges many times.

Of course we are. There is no real fucking info on specifics!

Its really pissing me off. That whole... flirting with mass market, PR ... crap!

Of course, that horrible merchandise update yesterday brought it another good day of 54K pledges compared to previous one 34K.

what a bunch of scumbags...

 

[Brother None]

Updated my fathom depth.

Reminds me of Etrian Odyssey.

Brother None: Where did this pledger spike yesterday come from? Was it that article on fastcompany or did I miss anything else? If yes, then its interesting to see that an article on a main stream website has a greater influence than playing the MCA trump card coupled with tons of gaming media coverage has at this point of the kickstarter's life.

Probably a combination of fastcompany, PE mention, people upgrading after the latest upgrade, and paychecks coming in.

The bump was less than the MCA bump, note.

Hate to bring this up all the time, but any decision reached regarding tying fathom levels to facebook likes?
Is there any proper argument against it other than having to spend more man hours creating more fathom levels? Wouldn't reducing the size of each not solve the issue in this case?

 

[FeelTheRads]

Right, so this week they were supposed to say something about 2D vs 3D? When is it coming?
