  1. Hey everyone,

     

    We want to update our backers on Korean-language support for Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire. As promised, backers will receive a Steam or GOG key directly from Obsidian (through the Backer Portal) for the Korean language version of the game. We expect that this translation will be available either on release day, or shortly thereafter. Retail purchasers of the Korean version of Pillars II can get it directly from our Korean-language partners, H2 Interactive.

     

    Apologies for taking so long to respond to you guys.

    Ahoy Backers and Watchers!
     
    Get ready to set sail and venture into glory! We're happy to announce that we have a big update happening for the Backer Beta! We are now introducing Ship Combat, Crew Members, Items, and Enchanting/Crafting into the beta! As always, we would really appreciate on getting as much feedback as possible and have fun!
     
    Please note that older saves will not work on the latest patch! Apologies for the inconvenience.
     
    NEW CONTENT
     
    Ship Crew - Crewmembers specific to Ships and Ship Combats have been added to the Backer Beta! Ship Crew will manage your ship and man specific roles during ship combat, so they're essential to your seafaring adventure. Proper crew management is the key to an effective crew. Ship crew is accessed through the Ship Management [H] Menu.
     
    Ship Items - Items to aid you in combat such as cannons have been added to the Backer Beta as well. This includes components to the ship, as well as Food, Equipment, and Cargo. Ship Items are also accessed via the Ship Management [H] Menu.
     
    Ship Combat - Ship Combat has been added to the Backer Beta. Ships will now sail around on the world map and can attack or be attacked by your ship. Clicking on any ship will allow the player to engage in Ship Combat in our unique Ship Combat system. We would love feedback on this!
     
    Enchanting/Crafting - Enchanting and Crafting system has been added! You can access Crafting from the Inventory Menu, and with the correct recipes will be able to craft specific items to aid you in game.

    • Enchanting will be possible with unique weapons, and Right-Clicking on any item that is able to be Enchanted will display a button that will give access to the possible enchants available 

    Inventory on World Map - A quality of life change we hope you all will enjoy, Inventory is now accessible when on the world map. This is something we feel will benefit the player greatly as you travel on land or sea!

  3. Alright, so there is Standard, Deluxe, and Obsidian.

     

    I have "Premium" Digital + Pillars II DLC. I guess that means I have the Obsidian Package? This is going by the original backing schemes.

     

    Or is Premium a back thing unto it's own? Because I thought that backers would have unique bonuses not in any of the release packages.

    Backer items and Pre-order items are separate. 

     

    So Backers will be getting Fig rewards as well as the pre-order items!

     

    For those who are only purchasing by pre-order will only get those 3 items.

  4. Hail Watchers!

     

    We just wanted to inform you all that we will be closing off the Backer Portal to new pledges on January 24th, 2018 at 11:59 PM PST. If you haven't redeemed your Fig pledge, no need to worry, you can still finalize your order!

     

    We'd like to thank you all so much for the support you have given us, this game wouldn't be possible if it wasn't for your passion and generosity. We look forward to seeing you guys in Deadfire!

  5. I've got the sane problem swell. 1st of all I bought the game via Steam and played on windows os. All my save has been saved in steam cloud. Now I bought iMac with high Sierra 10.13.2 and installed Steam there. Launched the game via steam and there is no saves. Checked everywhere. They are not synchronised. Please help.

    Hey n19htz,

     

    Unfortunately the Steam cloud does not work cross-platform for Pillars. If you still have access to your Windows PC, you can manually transfer the saves over via email, online storage, or thumb drive. 

     

    Hope that helps!

  6. Hey Dracco,

     

    Typically when save files goes missing, its due to a anti-malware software preventing the game from reading the sames. Just disable or update your software and that should work.

     

    But if you save files are going complete missing (C:\Users\username\Saved Games\Pillars of Eternity) Then we have never heard or seen that before. Do you recall doing anything to your computer during the time you last played and the time you booted up the game that could have caused this? 

     

    Thanks.

  7. Hail Sumerset!

     

    Since you have deleted all previous saves, the only way to get out of the pit would be to use console cheat commands.

     

    Open up the console and type "iroll20s" without the quotations and then hit F11 and you can teleport out of the pit. 

    Then open up the console again and type ReactivateStronghold to regain assess to the stronghold, since it was disabled going down the pit. 

     

    Hope that helps! 

  8. Hey you bunch of faithful gamers,

     

    We decided to slip one more patch in! The patch will be available on the Beta Branch of Steam for a few days. Please jump in and let us know what you think. The patch will go live soon after that.

     

    Patch contains;

     

    - Fixed an issue with the Company Captain's Cap confusing party members when they cast a buff/heal spell.

     

    - Realized we went a little overboard on the Deadfire Uniforms. We knocked the defenses they granted from +20 to +9.

     

    - Added optional analytics. This is just simple data collection (where parties wipe, which classes players choose, etc....). A pop up will trigger as soon as you launch the game after patching, asking 'would you like to enable analytics.' We'd love it if everyone did, but feel free to just click 'no' and forget it ever happened. 

     

    Hail Watchers!

     

    The Beta Branch has been pushed to the live branch and is now live on Steam with the fixes above! 

     

    Cheers!

  9. Greetings Watchers!

     

    Thank you all so much for participating in the Backer Beta! There are quite a bit of abilities and text in the game that may have some Missing Strings and we'd like to consolidate those to keep the forums nice and tidy!

     

    If you ever come across and UI/text issue where you see *Missing String xxx* take a screenshot and post it here!

     

    Example:

  11. Hail Adventurers!

     

    A couple of goblins was causing havoc in the latest build and we finally got them under control!

     

    Here are the fixes coming in patch 1.2.8.1

     

    Gameplay

    • The "nickname" bug is fixed.  When deleting a character with a nickname the server was repairing the local version of those missing characters every time the game was launched. This quickly caused more duplicate characters to fill up the roster of playable characters.
      • Note:  Characters nicknamed in Chinese should still not be visible. There is no official support for special characters yet.  We are working on that support so they won't have garbled text in the near future.
    • Jorgenfist 's Stone Giant henchmen in Sandpoint Under Siege will now properly prompt the player to close the scenario.
    • Cards with the Owner Trait (i.e. Old Friends) will no longer be automatically granted to characters.  Once earned they will appear in the character's stash.
      • Note: cards will an Owner Trait will return to the character's  build/repair lists after a completed scenario even if banished. These lists are only accessible during the repair phase of deck management.
    • Spells and locations with the ability to move characters to other locations out of turn could occasionally run into a progression break.  We believe we fixed all instances of where it won't let you do anything after a move.  We're looking at you Temple + Stride.
      • Note: We have NOT fixed an issue where movement spells could bypass the damaged taken when moving to a new location in the Bar Brawl.
    • Ranzak's Hornswoggle could be activated for an explore when no Blessings were in the blessing discard pile.

    Store

    • The pricing for six chests in the store is 2500 Gold and will be reflected properly.
    • Rise of the Goblins will now mark itself as owned in the store when purchased outside of iOS then linked to iOS.
    • The Master Dice bundle was being purchased and not properly showing up even if they were in the user's inventory.
      • Note:  The following dice are part of a bundle, special event, or limited time only and are not included in the bundle:  Red, Obsidian, Haunted, Jingle, Nathan's Tribute, and Goblin.

    Other

    • iOS and Android achievements should properly show up.
