Ogrekin bug?
Fade2gray replied to Graill's question in Pathfinder Adventures: Technical Support (Spoiler Warning!)
I just encountered this issue. It hasn't been fixed yet. Very aggravating... -
Patch 1.2.7 Rise of the Goblins!
Fade2gray replied to Aarik D's topic in Pathfinder Adventures: Announcements & News
Like others have mentioned, I own the Obsidian version on PC, but I'm being prompted to purchase the expansion on my phone. Tried closing and rebooting with no success. I'll try logging in on PC later today. -
Sorry for the double post, but I think I solved part of the mystery surrounding Edar and Pallengina. For some reason, they're classified as "B" deck allies instead of "P" deck promo allies. I noticed while I was looking at their cards in my stash that they had a B, so I checked my B deck allies collection and there they were. I hope that clears up some of the confusion for everyone else.
-
This has lead to the strange situation where I have the cards in my stash but they don't show up in my collection... I just check my stash and yep, they're there. Still missing from my collection though. I also had one more set of leg. dice show up, so I'm up to three legendary sets. Anyone know how many sets we're supposed to get in total?
-
Ok. So I need to ask this for the sake of my own sanity. Has anyone else been rolling exceptionally badly more frequently since the recent updates? I've noticed that I've been rolling all 1s with handfuls of dice quite often lately. Maybe it's just a psychological trick brought on by seeing the percentage odds, but I feel like I'm failing rolls with odds in the high 80s and 90s more often than I'd expect.
-
I'm not seeing the promo allies or the legendary dice either. The dice are especially odd because I was actually briefly able to see them in my collection, but when I went to equip them they were gone. Went back to my collection and they weren't there any more. Edit: I just wanted to specify, the allies I'm missing are Eder & Pallegrina. I already had the Obsidian Golem before the Ambassador upgrade and it's still there.

I had a similar experience. I bought the ROTR bundle shortly after the PC announcement, and was fairly vocal around here after it came to light that we'd have to basically re-buy that bundle on PC. The Ambassador Program did take most of the sting out for me though. The game is on sale for about $19 on steam right now. If you wait for the Ambassador coupon, that should bring the price down to about $16 (it was mentioned somewhere around here that the coupon will combine with the sale, which is fairly uncommon). At that point we're basically just paying for the price difference between the Base game on PC and the Obsidian Edition. I mentally chalk the couple extra dollars we're paying up to playing the game early on Mobile. The situation isn't perfect, but it could be worse.
-
Same here. I'll just kick it old-school without all the extra cards, as nature (well, Lone Shark) intended - not exactly a hardship! If I wasn't so attached to my first play-through on mobile, I might consider starting fresh again on PC. Instead, I'm probably going to play a bit more Pillars on PC over the weekend and pepper in PA on my phone.

For me, the biggest draws for the PC version are: Bigger screen/better resolution (just plain nicer to look at) M/KB controls (the touch controls aren't bad, but nothing beats M/KB in most games for me) No battery problems (the app eats through my battery like few other games, and actually makes my phone uncomfortably hot to hold after a little while).

I'll play the speculation game. My understanding is that: 1) To play the game on PC, you must buy at minimum the base game in PC 2) All content unlocked on either version (regardless of how it was acquired) will be available to the player in both versions Because the base game for PC contains most of the content from the Mobile version, #2 is mostly a moot point UNLESS you unlocked some of the character alts and rare cards on mobile but decide not to purchase the Obsidian Edition on PC. What does this mean for future pricing? My guess is that most major content going forward (like new ADs) will only be available for real money. You can purchase in either version and it will unlock in the other. The current character alts, dice, treasure chests, and consumables will probably continue to be available for gold in the app (and will transfer to PC), but the Obsidian Edition (and maybe future AD packs) will be the easiest way to acquire most of that stuff as well. The biggest question for me is what they plan to do with the RoTR pack in the mobile app. It's still there and available for purchase. They've solved the problem of what to do for people who buy it before the PC release, but it seems that it will continue to be a problem for new players if they leave it as-is.
-
I can understand why some people who payed for upgrades or grinded for gold over the course of the past year may not feel like this upgrade is a big deal. If I was in your shoes I would probably feel like I had gotten my time and money's worth. But, as someone who only recently sent $25 on the app, I can assure you that this is very big deal. I was having a hard time justifying buying the PC version in spite of how much I'm enjoying the game (enough that I bought several decks of the physical game), but this makes it a no-brainer.

Pathfinder Adventures Dev Blog Update and PC news!
Fade2gray commented on Aarik D's blog entry in Pathfinder Adventures Dev Blogs
Any concessions to those of use who literally just both ROTR in the Mobile app in anticipation of the PC release. It feels an awful lot like I just wasted $25 buck... -
News from PaizoCon
Fade2gray replied to Doppelschwert's topic in Pathfinder Adventures: General Discussion (No Spoilers!)
Actually... its even a couple layers even more complex! Something like: Treasure Chest > Treasure Pool > Scenario Treasure Selections > Scenario Vault > Scenario Heroic/Elite Card Removal > Party Card Removal > Scenario Locations > Hero I have a few posts kicking around the forum describing vault-building mechanics (like this one from earlier today). The app appears to go through a whole bunch of steps to prep the cards for play for each scenario. Gee-whiz! I've been reading up on the physical card game rules and assumed that the mechanics for building location decks were pretty similar in the video game. I guess that just goes to show just how unintuitive the treasure chest rewards are. Thanks for the info. -

Fade2gray replied to Doppelschwert's topic in Pathfinder Adventures: General Discussion (No Spoilers!)
I'm really excited to see the new dice percentages and like the stash idea. I'm not the greatest at guesstimating dice odds (and too lazy to pull out any sort of dice calculator) so that will be a huge help. As someone who only just recently picked up the game, I can also very mush testify to how confusing the Treasure Chest > Vault > Scenario > Hero > Back to Vault concept is at first. There are two layers of game mechanics between seeing card in a treasure chest and getting it into one of your heroes' hands. Not say that's bad, but it isn't intuitive. Regarding banish-on-use cards, I tried to re-frame my mindset to accept that using banish cards (like potions) is a regular part of the game, but I've found that I tend to just hoard them because they might be more useful later ("you only get to use this once so better make it good!"). I'm not entirely sure the stash will change that behavior, but it might. -
The quote below is from Flounder on page one of this topic: "I'll go into more details in the upcoming blog but yes, everything you bought on the mobile will be available on PC once you merge/sync your PlayFab accounts." I hope you're right. His earlier quote made it sound pretty definitive that we would have to buy the game again (which appears to only contain content already included in the ROTR pack if we don't buy the Obsidian Pack/Pass thing).

This news is really upsetting to me. I only just heard about this game recently when they announced the PC version. All of the news articles I read said content would link between the Mobile and PC versions so I decided "why wait" and bought the full ROTR pack. Now I'm being told that I have to re-buy all of that content to play on the PC. BUT WORSE, If I had waited to buy on the PC first I would have gotten that content on mobile for free. This make no sense! I feel like I just threw away $25 basised on bad faith advertising. I'm liking the game, but I'm starting to feel really cheated here.
