    [Paritally RESOLVED?] Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire - Ultimate Fig Edition does NOT contain Explorer Pack? (still lacks other unique fig bonusses?)

    in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Technical Support (Spoiler Warning!)

    Posted

    Hey everyone!

     

    Apologies for the inconveniences, there were some issues with the keys, but we're fixing the problem as we speak.

     

    Ultimate Fig Edition will receive the the Explorer's Pack. 

    Premium Fig Edition will receive the 2 in-game items, (Cosmo and the Tricorn hat)

     

    I hope that clears that up.

    Critical Role, Meet Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire

    in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Announcements & News

    Posted

    Hello Watchers and Critters alike!

     

    Yesterday we announced Obsidian's partnership with Critical Role for Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire. Fans of both series have been trying to create parties with Vox Machina characters since the release of the original Pillars of Eternity... so we're excited to announce that now you can do it with their voices, too!

     

    But that's not all the cast of Critical Role is doing in Deadfire. Along with the return of Matthew Mercer, all the cast members will be voicing major characters in Pillars II. Today we're very happy to share who the cast will be voicing and tell you a bit about those characters. Enjoy!

     

     

    eder-matt.jpgaloth-matt.jpg

    Edér and Aloth – Matthew Mercer

    Edér - A farmer and veteran of the Saint's War, Edér fought alongside the Watcher in the Dyrwood and now accompanies his old ally to the Deadfire Archipelago. His easygoing manner and dry wit belie a strong sense of responsibility and commitment. Eothas' return into the world raises questions for Edér about the god he once worshipped and later fought against. If he can help restore the Watcher's soul, then just maybe he can get some answers of his own, too.

    Aloth - Aloth is a wizard from Aedyr and an old ally from the Watcher's journeys in the Dyrwood. Meticulous, thoughtful, and pragmatic, his experiences in the years since meeting the Watcher have shaped him. They've also brought him to the Deadfire on a mission of his own. With the Watcher's help, he hopes to uncover the truth behind one of the oldest and most secretive organizations in Eora.

    Maia Rua – Marisha Ray

    Maia is an elite sharpshooter serving a tour of duty for the Royal Deadfire Company. With the help of her bird of prey companion, Ishiza, Maia can scout environments both in and out of combat. Reassigned from her mission and sent to assist the Watcher, she and Ishiza are grateful for the chance to sail the treacherous waters of the Deadfire for some adventure and target practice.

     

     

    serafen-liam.jpg

    Serafen – Liam O’Brien

    As a shiphunter of the Príncipi sen Patrena, Serafen uses his psychic abilities to guide pirates to merchant vessels ripe for plunder. Serafen's captain offers the furry blue pirate's expertise to the Watcher, and Serafen brings with him his unique perspective on the politics and cultures of the Deadfire - as well as a long history of wronged rivals, lovers, and adversaries.

    A self-proclaimed expert in all things involving his tongue, Serafen's bawdy humor, felonious tendencies, and strained relationship with the truth don't always endear him to his fellow travelers.

     

     

    tekehu-travis.jpg

    Tekēhu – Travis Willingham

    Tekēhu is a marine godlike and accomplished watershaper. While others would harness his talents to intimidate enemy ships and enrich Huana culture, Tekēhu wishes to spearhead an artistic revival and bring change on his own terms. His people have a very rigid idea what it means to be born of a god, so he delights in paddling against the current and defying the wishes of those who seek to control him.

     

     

    xoti-laura.jpg

    Xoti – Laura Bailey

    Xoti is a half meadow, half savannah folk priestess who believes it is her divine duty to shepherd lost souls through the Beyond. As a worshipper of Gaun, the aspect of Eothas associated with harvests and the death side of the cycle of rebirth, Xoti wields a sickle and a lantern in order to reap souls for her god. When she was a young girl, she was one of thousands of Readcerans who came to Deadfire fleeing the devastation that followed the vorlas blight and the Saint's War. Her family, like many others, established themselves as farmers, and it was then that Xoti claims Gaun began to speak to her through prophetic nightmares. Xoti is eager to chase down the manifestation of her god so that she might better understand and aid his mission on Eora.

     

     

    rekke-sam.jpg

    Rekke – Sam Riegel

    Rekke is the sole survivor of a shipwreck. When the Watcher finds him, he speaks a language none among the party have ever heard before - not that it stops him from speaking his mind. In the Watcher's company, he quickly proves himself to be a capable fighter and easy-going traveling companion. The youngest member of the party, he amuses himself by playing pranks on his newly found friends.

     

     

    ydwin-ashley.jpg

    Ydwin – Ashley Johnson

    An expert in the metaphysics of Eora and a skilled practitioner of animancy - the wildly controversial science of the soul - Ydwin holds as deep an interest in the Watcher's abilities as in the living god wading across the Deadfire. Analytical, courteous, and possessed of a rapier wit, she seems the ideal compatriot - assuming you don't object to her dangerous avenues of scientific inquiry.

     

     

    eothas-taliesin.jpg

    Eothas – Taliesin Jaffe

    Eothas is the god of light, redemption, and rebirth.  A generation ago, he manifested his power in a farmer named Waidwen to lead what became known as The Saint's War.  After the armies of the Dyrwood destroyed St. Waidwen, Eothas disappeared from Eora.  He was not heard from again until he restored and animated the statue beneath the castle of Caed Nua. Destroying the castle, drawing the souls out of its residents, and leaving the Watcher of Caed Nua for dead, Eothas then marched into the ocean and made his way for the Deadfire Archipelago.  His motives are unknown.

     

     

    You can pre-order Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire through Critical Role via our publisher, Versus Evil. We will be updating that page up until launch so we can highlight the characters, the cast, and more!

    Posted

    Hail and well met Adventurers!

    The Goblin Cannibal

     

    Upon returning to the tribe after successfully launching an attack on Sandpoint the Anti-heroes find that the tribe is being subverted by a traitor.

     

    The source of these evil words will lead the group to new locations, treasures, and eventually to a legendary Goblin witch.

     

    Rise of the Goblins Deck 2 - The Goblin Cannibal contains:

    • New Goblin Character: Tup the Terrible
    • 5 New Scenarios
    • 20+ new cards

    pa-screenshot-tup.jpg

     

    **Requires Goblin Deck 1 "Burn Everythings!" to be owned and completed on Normal Difficulty to be played**

     

     

    Bug Fixes

    So, here are the things that we took to fixing since 1.2.8.6:

     

    Progression Breaks

    • Lock layouts  so that the player cannot open the discard/character decks on top of the examine tray
    • Fixed Reporting of multiple game session ends when a user quits or forfeits
    • Force a state change to the current state (start turn) after survivalist character power ends
    • Fixed an event was declaring stateful then not advancing the state because it became invalid during the cycle
    • Fixed an issue where the game sometimes crashed when evaluating a card filter (oddly not 100% reproducible)
    • Post act events were sometimes stuck in the roll state because the state was not advanced
    • Licktoad camp map intro was sometimes crashing due to a missing audio source reference
    • Card filter serialization error was breaking some old save games

     

    UI/VFX

    • Moved power description mask to the left a little to keep edge from appearing faded.
    • Moved copied vfx to work better in both 4:3 and 16:9, all lined up
    • Added tooltip for locations (e.g. Temple)
    • Shortened the difficulty vfx poof, pops in faster and fades out sooner
    • Fixed Unicode characters from not saving correctly
    • Fixed continue button in offline mode
    • Fixed Unicode characters from not saving correctly
    • Fixed some sorting errors in the enemies 'win', slash is on top with a new added bokeh effect
    • Updated poison vfx to run more efficiently and look smoother
    • More blunt vfx updates for hitting the enemy
    • Updated blunt weapon effects for melee/ranged (player taking damage)
    • Realigned 'Continue' button on Villain fanfare (moved up too high)
    • Fitted the roles text in the box vertically as well as horizontally
    • Added an informational popup when a scenario power fires at the start of a turn and shades the screen
    • Enlarged scenario helper text for mobile
    • Fixed some difficulty panel sorting issues on phone (sorted forward a little)
    • Location power cure: no longer play any heal animations when there are no cards to heal
    • Refreshed the roster panel on the party creation screen, when characters were in the party at startup
    • Added pips to the scenario list items displayed on the adventure screen
    • On the adventure screen, lock all adventure buttons on phones when the scenario panel is down
    • Increased blessing icon art from 25% to 36% to see it better in that tiny circle on the card decoration
    • Hooked up a long forgotten custom hilite for the scenario power button on phones
    • Improved card layout examine tray animations
    • Removed dice label fade during refresh because it caused blinking text
    • Added tutorial commands to expand/collapse the location panel (used on phones during tutorial #3)
    • Added a decoration to cards which copy blessings; moved the "copy blessings" button
    • Fixed characters not showing up due to not removing deleted characters
    • Properly display character nickname on character sheets
    • Force the ios/android keyboard into secure mode during the asmodee password login
    • We now account for unicode characters when auto-generating nicknames during conflicts

     

    Vault/Gallery/Stash

    • Vault character nickname data is now written as unicode bytes

     

    Game Play

    • Zuvuzeg now grants an extra explore after the player has used one explore
    • After closing the examine layout sometimes a card back was displayed in the explore position
    • A card power which modified difficulty sometimes "lost" the card so it was never processed into a deck after play
    • Added the magic trait when summoning a monster via Summon Monster boon
    • Fixed recharge/discard character powers not being marked as active so it was never disabled
    • Map move ignoring move restrictions only worked when multiple targets were involved
    • Before act damage which skipped the player had dice applied twice (double damage)
    • Fixed issues with  damage reduction effects not being applied during global damage iterators
    • Fixed an issue with card power effect boost not deactivating so the effect was never removed when canceling a card
    • When boosting a combat check, sometimes the dice/check was not refreshed
    • Summon monster card disposed itself without invoking the card's OnPlayed event
    • Added combat state power condition to Merisiel's "Trinket Hunter" character powers
    • Orb of Storms is now buried after failing recharge check
    • Damage state now accounts for cards already discarded (by other characters)

    Welcome to the Deadfire. Backer Beta!

    in Backer Beta Announcements

    Posted

    Hello, I'm really Interested in the Game.  I have the First one And I liked it.  So As I was Looking at steam I noticed that I could still get int the Bata Back with a $20.00 pledge.  So I followed the instructions that you left in this post.  But at the 2nd step (My Product), I ran into a problem The page states  "no products Available...Yet!"  So I went back to steam and pre-order the deluxe version. Activated the steam key as per the instructions.  But I can't Install the Backer Beta.  Can you Help, please?  If I still need to Pledge the $20.00  for the Backer Bata that no problem just need to know where and how.  Thank you.           

    Hey owie!

     

    The pre-order version of the game does not include the beta. The backer beta is only available to those who help crowdfund the game during our Fig and Slacker Backer campaign. Apologies for the confusion!
