Armor Upgrades
Greg Avila-Stanes replied to Greg Avila-Stanes's topic in Grounded 2: Feedback & Suggestions
Or even to make it simpler why not have Tiers 1 thru 5 of each weapon/armor but as part of the Tier 2 recipe you must have an upgraded Tier 1 of the same type with some kills/hits taken to its name. Just so the Early tiers aren’t worthless as it seems they are replaceable so quickly I mean even on WHOA! I’m at tier 2 in less than the first hour of game play. -
Setting suggestion roach phobia
Giantkiller130 replied to winterwarbler's topic in Grounded: Feedback & Suggestions
I feel the same way, it is the only bug in the game that I have to basically run from because I’m so scared. I blindly ran through some of the later parts (where you absolutely have to kill more to progress) and it’s been hell. Ironically enough, the first game I never finished because of the spiders but this game has more of them and I’m over that -
Hello. My apologies for 'necroing' this build. I've been looking for melee wizard builds and I've found the megathread. I was checking most guides and they're aiming at POTD solo and I haven't played this game in years... So I was looking for a regular party game in normal or hard. I do like the variant you posted, the pale elf one since I like how they lok plus the fire res benefit. Overall this is the guide explained in the most comprehensive and friendly way for someone like me and I like how easy you marked the dangers, strategies and spells to pick... So I thought this was perfect for me. I was wondering if the spells are the same if you take a pale elf with fire/ice or if I have to focus on ice damage gear and ice spells? I doubt the corrosive build would be viable on a pale elf as it is and, sadly, my game knowledge is not that good! What should be the priority if you cant to be an ice/fire melee wizard? Thanks a lot

Trying the Terror from the Void mod for Phoenix Point. I don't think I'll last long enough to see if any of the changes/additions from the mod are any good. The changes to classes and skill trees gets a meh - whatever rating on the internationally recognised melkathi scale*. The non-vanilla human enemies, where every group of scavengers, every squad of jericho troops, has a leader granting an ability to their team, and they all have cringeworthy squad names gets a please go back to writing Harry Potter fanfiction rating. Adding npcs to staff the initial base instead of having everything AI run, gets a thumbs up. But is that enough to get me to care? * often described as a jaded, grimdark version of the popular BruceVC game rating system. Just from the perspective that people are useless amateurs until proven otherwise.

The All Things Political Topic - What's Going On...?
Malcador replied to Lexx's topic in Way Off-Topic
So Patel's FBI is probably going to start profiling trans people soon, I am figuring. Also, laughing at people outraged over Psaki saying "thoughts and prayers" are not enough -
I definitely want Soulblade. It is amongst my favourite subclasses, and I never played it with an AOE weapon, and I never played a WOTEP watcher either. I considered ranger also because of Beast's Claw (and stalker). It could certainly get away with the great sword modal more easily than most combinations (which works on SA damage, if I'm not mistaking). Stalker/Soul Blade sounds pretty fun considering this, and the watcher could actually deal damage with offensive parries while buffing up the animal companion so it can take a bit more punishment. I could get even more focus from the stealthed opening shots of The Red Hand with Driving Flight too. Typing this out, I might just have found my build. Probably still a lot weaker than mindstalker, but thematically I absolutely love it Goes really well with an offensively built herald too (kind wayfarer + troubadour), the bear would get a lot of extra armor and easy heals from white flames. Then Edér for the extra pet slot + Heart Defender Scales, a celebrant and a ranged striker (hard for me to not pick seer or wildrhymer, but maybe I'll try geomancer Maia or a Frostseeker savage).

Was followed around by a ****roach whilst building a base at the bottom of one of the trees. Kept making purring like sounds. Made me just want to pet it. Would be great to pet random bugs that are docile. Edit: P. S. You need to sort your forum filter out as it filters part of the name of an actual insect.

Odd glitch, my friend came on last night and I ended up being assigned his buggy and also the other person's buggy (who wasn't on last night). So basically I gained two extra buggies that were originally my friends and had to go get a replacement red ant egg to get them a new buggy. Anyone else experienced this? Tried revering to older save but it didn't make a difference.

Friendship's Due Trask Bug

I can't believe devs simply ignored that bug. Very disappointing. It comes as a default bug in Spacer's Choice version. -
I think there should be an Encyclopedia mod, so that Deadfire mechanics are easily understandable. What would you want to add or change? Here were my thoughts: + Encyclopedia - Stun - -10 Deflection (not -10 All Defenses) + Encyclopedia - Action Speed - same as attack speed, both attack and recovery or reload time. Can cast while reloading. + Encyclopedia - Healing - doesn't predict amounts due to bonuses, and the real adjusted amounts don't even show in the combat log + Encyclopedia - Stacks - each stack has a separate duration, and when full, older stacks are not replaced until one expires. Stacks add to the current bonuses, they do not count as a re-application of the same effect. + Encyclopedia - Duration - increases with enchantment level (fine, etc.,), intelligence, resolve, on tick ticks explained, DoT formula bad + Encyclopedia - Summon - only one summon at a time, character level scaling + Encyclopedia - Damage Shield - if two stacking shields, both removed by same damage + Encyclopedia - Threatened - super technical way that it actually works + Encyclopedia - Prone - length of knockdown, interrupts attacks and spells which causes their resource used to be lost + Encyclopedia - Damage per second - ticks first, so there's always 1+t ticks + Encyclopedia - Damage over time - if no tick ("per seconds") then the formula is different and screws bonus damage + Encyclopedia - Veil-Piercing - Only guns and weapons with veil-piercing enchantments can pierce the veil. + Encyclopedia - Equipment > Ingredients (Rarest) - Adra Ban (heavily limited) > Emerald > Antler + Encyclopedia - Ability Level, see also Power Level + Encyclopedia - Power level should say exactly what it usually effects + Encyclopedia - Hits converted to Crits - (need to test more) Only one upgrade or downgrade is possible, so misses --> grazes --> hits doesn't happen (what's the priority? Hits to Crits vs Hits to Grazes? Hostile vs non-hostile effects? Temporary vs permanent effects? How do they stack and trigger w/ each?)

Hey Heroes, I was wondering if anyone here has done really good testing of the bonuses for hits to crits, hits to grazes, grazes to miss, etc. My Current Beliefs From Experimentation: They don't stack probabilistically, but additively. Your total chance for the bonus is one single bonus: (50% Hits to Crits + 50% Hits to Crits = 100% Hits to Crits, not 75% [0.50 + 0.50 - 0.50 x 0.50]). 100% Grazes to Hits and 100% Hits to Crits? This didn't upgrade grazes to crits. Does anyone also know if this is true, and know of any other ways they interact? Untested, Possibly Different Scenarios: Passive: 100% Hits to Grazes, 100% Hits to Crits (which one triggers? Latest passive equipped? Always a bias towards grazes? Passive: 100% Hits to Grazes, Duration: 100% Hits to Crits

An option to mute your buggy
Alynxkia replied to MrGrumpyPants's topic in Grounded 2: Feedback & Suggestions
I will second that motion. I’m also fine with there being a slider in the sound options as even just decreasing the buggy sounds by 50% would be nice. I’m pretty sure i would prefer mute but I’m sure some players enjoy their buggy making noises.- 1 reply

Grounded 2 Feedback
Stein56Chaos replied to apoisonedgift's topic in Grounded 2: Feedback & Suggestions
Can we get our hauling strength and stacking back. I remember in the first game with my mutations and red ant armor I could carry 20+ planks and stems. With the ant mount it would make since that I would be able to move more material. -
With should be a real great build, also with spearcaster. With WotEP I played a shaman Priest of Berath / Corpse-Eater, self buff of Priest plus barb's buff and speed was nice, very good with lot of minions and you can use WotEP Run Through for single enemy. I think it can be a good weapon also with a Rogue/Ranger (with Hunter's Fang or Best's Claw)/Monk and Priest/Paladin for self-buff, defense and heal. Also an Arcane Knight could be powerful, wiz self buff with paladin defense, interesting... It's a shame, Wiz and Druid are funny classes to play

Cannot load shared world
Ishi replied to Floofy's topic in Grounded 2: Technical Support (Spoiler Warning!)
I had been playing with my husband on a multiplayer game (he was hosting) and we thought we would try making it a shared game so I don't have to keep checking on his food and water while he isn't playing and I'm building. Long story short I couldn't see the shared game so we thought no problem he would just turn it back to multiplayer. All was fine for him but I have totally lost all my progress, everything I had on me including clothes. We had completed to the end of the story so far and I'm feeling gutted at losing all my progress -

Yea, i see that in the same way. Usually when walking around the garden you don't switch the smoothies every time you see a specific enemy. For example, you would use the smoothe wich prevents toxic when encounter a wolf spider. But in the time you opened your inventory, find the specific smoothie in that chaos, put the correct smoothie in the "hotpick" menue - you are dead I do it like KJ9 and pick 1 smoothie i can easily craft and stick with that one. I did so in Grounded 1 aswell. Except for Bosses - like the Wasp Queen - where you prepare your inventory ahead. btw. why there are no "trash" smoothies like in grounded 1? where you could put anything in the mixer and just get a basic smoothie with no other benefit then quick healing?

The All Things Political Topic - What's Going On...?
BruceVC replied to Lexx's topic in Way Off-Topic
The principle of the belief in what the flag signifies in the new South Africa doesn't change The old flag didnt represent the whole country but it had significance, for example South Africans died in 2 WW under the old flag We are opposed to anyone burning the flag Its a pity in many countries like the US the flag is taken for granted and burning it has just become a form of outrage protest " Im angry with my government ...lets burn the flag and make sure its on SM" I am very glad I live in country where we respect what the flag represents but we still criticize government and vote for different political parties
