If it supports Linux I will. A bit off topic, never really understood the adamant stance on Linux that some take... I mean each project, especially Obsidian ones, has limited budget that probably can be spent better on the actual game. Also Unreal leaves some to be desired regarding Linux.After all PC running multiple OS for different use is not really a big deal, unlike other platforms. I'm not adamant about it. I just don't want to reboot every time I want to play a game. I do all my development and office work on Linux. I only have Windows because my computer came with dual boot. I have no problems with Windows - I simply don't need it. There are enough games for Linux nowadays and my free time is limited. In addition to that I'm interested in this game, but only mildly.

Does anybody know if Devoted's PEN bonus would also apply to the imbue-spells of an Arcane Archer? Not at home atm...

Since they only say 2019 (and no mention of a quarter) I guess it's going to release late in 2019. Also most of the job offers that are related to the Unreal Engine are still open on the website.

Are we missing something? The accuracy bonus only applies to the Imbue spells, so I'm not sure why you're basically saying that twice up there. Was there something added recently (or something going to be added that isn't implemented yet) or something that we all missed? I meant that the ACC bonus not only counts for the initial attack roll of your ranged weapon (first hit roll) but also to the hit rolls of the attached spells (second and consecutive hit rolls). Imbue spells already scale with Power Level, but Minor Missiles doesn't add additional projectiles... yet. It's the goal of Nick Carver (the designer of the subclasses) that it does. That's all I meant. So the imbue spells not only will have tremendous ACC (a lot higher than wizards' spells) but will also profit from PL like any wizard's spells. They also work with the corresponding elemental PEN-Abilities (like Scion of Flame) and certain items (like Ring of Focused Flame) by the way, but that's just a side note. I have no closer relationship with the developers than most users here. I'm just a busy poster. You can do it with no fuzz once you switch on the BBCode Mode (top left button that looks like a tiny light switch). You can then copy tags + content which makes it easier.

World of Warcraft is an RPG (that I never played) and afaik it's among the most prominent games - maybe the most prominent there is. Even my parents and their neighbors heard about it... And they are ooold. And they have no smartphones. I know! Right?

My guess is that only damage that goes through attack resolution is pausing psion's focus generation. Afaik (after testing) this is the case for all abilities that would stop once you get hit. For example Dance of Death also doesn't stop if you hit yourself without attack resolution (Alacrity, Berserker's Frenzy, Sacred Immolation and so on).

It is a subclass. Thus it's not supposed to be better or worse than a vanilla ranger. Once you get a weapon with elemental dmg the Arcane Archer will have no ACC penalty. So you can completely circumvent the first penalty if you wish (Essence Interruptor comes very early). The Arcane Archer will get some abilites that will trigger an (AoE) spell with every jump he can generate (Driving Flight + jumps from item enchantments). PLUS he gets a huge stackable ACC bonus when maxing Arcana (besides being able to use scrolls). THat bonus also apploies to the imbue spells. That is already very strong. Imbue: Minor Missiles will be altered in a way that it scales with PL as normal Missiles do: more PL = more projectiles. Because of that, Arcane Archer is one of the few classes atm with whitch I can clear a whole pack of dummies with one, maybe two shots (Imbue: Death has a huge AoE and if you manage to trigger it thrice with Driving Flight + Watershaper's Focus most groups are done for). Giving him bonus ACC from Arcana for all his attacks with an elemental weapon would just be OP. Ranger already can stack a ton of ACC bonuses. Giving him a penatly for normal weapons and no penalty for some others and a big ACC bonus for his imbue ability is totally balanced in my opinion. Compared to all that his remaining penalty (-15% health) is neglectable - as a ranged character his health pool isn't his most important feat anyway. So all in all - why are you guys complaining? As I already said: those are not prestige classes that are supposed to give you more power. But Arcane Archer already does this.

Sure - else it would be quite pointless, wouldn't it?

I never had any issues with this. Seems to be difficult to reproduce this. And if you can't reproduce it reliably it's hard to fix.

I wonder how many players would come and claim that it's if they only wanted to do the crit path and ended up with lvl 13. It's impossible to satisfy all gamers. Good thing that the mod support for Deadfire is better than for PoE. A "completionist" option in the difficulty menu would be nice though. But I think since modding this is a matter of changing one single value in one text file Obsidian won't invest time to develop a dedicated option too soon.

Sinking gives you the same loot but more XP overall. At least that was that case. Don't know if that changed, but I read nothing in patch notes.

Instead you respond indirectly in an edit and intentionally misspell my name - because that will immediately shut down any discussion?

Awesomest

They put that texts into the website codes (you can watch when right-clicking on the site and pick "show source") for Ethics Gradient (forum user) to find them. He is known for his "investigative" nature so to speak.

I'll add that to my list of "pros".

Ah, with 20-30 big names CRPGs you meant CRPGs whose names were written in big letters? Sorry! I misunderstood you. Weakwood Throne was really big though. Who hasn't heard of it?

By the way Aarik: you can edit your thread title with that "Use Full Editor" button.

I agree that ship combat is the easiest, fastest and most reliable way to level and make money with very little investment. Solo or not, PotD or not. I don't even bother to buy another ship. I'll sink nearly all unique ships before char lvl 8 with a normal sloop - only upgrades are better cannons. For the Deck of Many Things I like to buy the Red Dream Hull upgrade (for safety reasons - don't want to reload ) and that's it.

See?

If you use "Eld Nary's Curse" then maybe.

That's because they were imaginary big-name CRPGs.

Oh, please call it "Grand Prix Eurovision de la Chanson". It was surely the worst show on television until "Inhumans" came out...

You mean your computer has... hopefully...?

What exactly did you tell me? I try to memorize only the "real" facts - not the imagined ones. And even with the facty facts there's no guarantee - so bear with me. But on the other hand: there were so few that I really should remember...
