You know, it’s the little things that piss you off. I got the app the day after release. The day after that, I paid $25 for the full campaign, knowing it wouldn’t be complete for months. I was OK with that; I had played the card game, and loved it, and I was impressed with the implementation. I convinced other people to download the app, and to buy the game content. I’ve played it in bars, in restaurants, in cigar shops. I have told people it was a quality product, and that I had faith in Obsidian's ability to get the new adventure path’s out, and to fix game-crippling bugs, and to bring value to the product. I have defended the product to friends who have bitched about bugs and APs being pushed back. We finally get a new update a few days ago, and the UI is wonky, but … it’s OK. It’s a good idea, that just needs some tweaking, right? Two or three months with no new content? That’s OK: I’ll run another solo character through legendary, even if I’m not getting any gold for normal and heroic scenarios. New content will come eventually. Because, here’s the thing: I really like this game. Now, the damn app is going to start eating all of my Blessings of Calista and my favors when I’m playing Meri? Really? <bleep, bleep <religious figure> bleeping bleep>, Obsidian! I’ve brought a product to market before. I know nothing goes to plan, and even less goes to schedule, but you have a lot of people dedicated to this game and you are seriously dumping on them. I’m not even talking about the money. $25 doesn’t mean rent, especially when I paid it almost six months ago. I’m talking about at least acknowledging the people who have supported your product from day one, and are still trying to defend something that, quite frankly, isn’t getting any better. Do better, do it with at least a little transparency, and start doing it now. Like I said: it’s the little things.

Stormbringer: This happened to me for the first time today. Playing on a Pixel C Android tablet, using Meri solo on Poison Pill (with the Inspired Dex feat). Went for an alpha strike on Pillbug in the last location -- because, why not -- and played a Calista and one favor (maybe Shelyn?), in addition to Black Arrow Ranger and discarding Poog for a backstab. Killed Pillbug, went to the post-game card screen and saw that the Calista and favor were both gone.

Same effect, when playing playing Here Comes the Flood. Seeleh tried to close the location. Playing in a four-person party with cleric, druid, monk in addition to paladin. Pixel C.

Same here. First two times, I got should, but third time I got mine allies and what I assumed was the winning cutscene. That took me to the inventory screen, where I had all nine new allies. Then, it would not letme advance to the next scenario. Playing on a Pixel C.

Thanks for all the great feedback. One of the things I should have said in my intro is that this isn't the *right* analysis; it's just my analysis. I like getting feedback that disagrees more so than having everyone agree. Please keep the comments coming, and I'll try to update the doc soon with the counterarguments.

Very valid point, but the reason I picked Poog and Zantus is that they are healing allies. I think Seoni is strongest when she is burning through cards; if she doesn't have some way to heal herself, she needs a divine ally at the same location (which, of course, lowers your chance to closing locations and getting an easier victory). While drawing cards is beneficial, banishing to draw does nothing to solve her healing dilemma. As for choosing not to encounter a boon, "I don't think they exist." (Or, I don't think we'll see that implemented.)

Can you tell my eyes were starting to cross by the time I got to this point? Thanks for the catch.

I have been having a lot of fun with the All-Divine party (druid, cleric, paladin and monk). Sanja has a pair of Wands of Minor Healing, so everybody heals all the time. Massive number of boons and allies to clear out six locations in record time. Finish the first three APs on Normal and Heroic, and starting on Legendary.

Looking ahead to the next patch (hopefully), and the addition of “role cards” (what the pen and paper version of Pathfinder would call prestige classes), I started jotting down some notes about what roles are a slam dunk, and which ones I would probably avoid. The more I got into it, it occurred to me to open it up to the community, and see what your opinion was. So, I’ve enabled comments; if you want to add something, comment here or on the doc. Thanks for taking a look. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Pk1l4neBVF7fsAenwDJayaqGJwoScoAEWCPODo6uZ2s/edit?usp=sharing Edit: All 11 completed. I am sure there are mistakes here, but that's enough for one day. Have fun.
