What I am really really concerned about is that the Firearms have no safety switch. What if I am walking around Eora and my Blunderbuss accidentally goes off and blows my foot off or even worse blows my balls off!
We need a safety switch mechanism on the the firearms in this game!!
And can just anyone buy a firearm? i think procedures should be put in place so only those aged 21 and above can purchase them. Some kind of official licencing system.

Ah, the good ole "one more comment" routine. Up to this point, 5/7 of the replies are spam about how someone else is posting. Please address the topics and not the posters and if the thread is too painful for you, feel free to not participate.
FINALY SOME ACTUALL MODERATING!!!
WELL DONE I THOUGHT YOU GUYS DIDNT EXIST

Non-Exhaustive List of what they've done :
- They cut half the spells from the first game.
- They cut the Grimoire Custumization.
- Two Spells per Lvl, previously Four.
- Spells that remain are made all Per-Encounter. [spamfest each Fight]
- Etc... [Goes on & on]
But it's apparentely all considered an Improvement.
... 
.EDIT : It's a whole New Combat System, compared to what it was in the 1st Pillars.
& I can deal with it... But I don't like it, at all.
[i prefer Pillars of Eternity "Global Combat System" a Thousand Times more than Deadfire's]
what do you mean by they have cut half the spells from the first game?
surely they have not done this and if they did they would add new ones to compensate
-
yep they got the absolute crap nerfed out of them (casters)
hopefully the extended release date reflects OBS reverting the game back to the old casting system

yeah im thinking why would they reduce a casters options and make the game less strategic??
I dont know if you would call chaincasting shadowflame strategy though haha
Actaully if you look at it from that persective maybe these new changes will be for the better off
no more chaincasting shadowflame, confusion ect....

This thread will be helpful for those who have only recently started looking at the game or playing the BETA.
Can those of you who have used it extensively on the beta or discussed it for length chime in with your experiences/ thoughts?
For those just coming in another user posted this:
1) per rest is gone, which means you can spam spells in every fight, however, you are limited to casting 2 spells per spell level.
2) to compensate, now spells take time to cast. For example, in current build it takes 6 seconds to cast fireball.
3) in addition to that you can only learn spells when you level up. Wizards get grimoires which can expand their repertoire up to extra 2 spells per level but you can’t edit grimoires, so it’s very likely that one grimoire will contain spells which you already know or can’t cast due to subclass restrictions limiting its usefulness. Druids&Priest gain free extra spell every power level based on their subclass. (Personal note: small selection of spells makes singleclass spellcasters feel very restricted. It is confirmed that singleclass characters will get an addition talents [spells] to pick, when reaching new power level, however, there will be passives to consider as well)
4) new armour/penetration system applies to spells as well, so it’s possible to spend couple seconds casting spell, only to see multiple NO PEN messages and do a fraction of base damage, though it is not nearly as bad, as it was in beta1.
5) in current beta build (though it is likely to be changed for 1.0 release, if Josh’s Tumblr posts are to be trusted) strength governs weapon damage, while healing&magic damage has been moved to resolve. That makes spellcasters less flexible in combat and encourages either a specialised weapon build, or constant casting. -
I have screen shotted this thread and a few other threads where the mods have let the trolls run rampant
I am sending it all to onsidians head office so hopefully we can get rid of the crap , maybe new mods
But don't forget the one, where you accuse them of purposely delaying Deadfire. We were extremely cruel to you in that thread.
yeah man they will be stoked with you well done

Not even a little. You know what is better publicity than a second release date? Releasing the game. Take off the tin-foil hat.
here we go again personal attacks on this forum for new time posters
mods you are a joke letting this happen time after time after time after time
"Take off the tin-foil hat" is hardly a personal attack. At the same time you call moderators a joke.
There are a lot of new members here who don't get attacked. So maybe it's not all the forum's or moderators fault. Maybe your posting style provokes certain reactions? What do you think?
i think you are a long term user of these forums who could set better standards. why dont you promote posatiivity instead of negativity.
IF a comment is directed at another user is should not be a comment that is insulting.
Take of the tin foil hat?? are you kidding me he was insinuating im crazy
grow up!
-
if you are making any comment in regards to another user DONT SAY IT UNLESS IT IS POSITIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
say what you want about the game, criticism about the game is fine, but................
sarcasm , relentless annoying jibs directed at other users NO MATTER WHAT !!!! is terrible
IF ITS NOT POSITIVE DONT SAY IT!!!!!
KAPISH!!!!!
AND A SMILEY FACE DOESNT MEAN SH$$$$t

The members here are going to troll this thread so bad lol Well, they already are...
As for your question, I don't see anything wrong with your post, I know it will generate heat & to be honest, this isn't the best place to ask as it's an Obsidian fanboy forum and most active peeps here are backers. That means bias will craze the cult and if you're not with them, you're against them. So keep your head high and keep doing what you're doing. As this has been my experience plenty times.
Waiting for people to call this "click bait" or compare you to me
Sheeple mindsets never fail.yeah no joke
Im on the warhammer total war forum aswell and it is incredibly friendly and positve over there
Ive browsed through the threads on this forum and its as if alot of poeple here have depression or something , just looking for aggression and a way to vent there frustrations in life

Like the title says?
There is no better way to generate more publicity for your release then to have all the media outlets announce it twice.
There is also the extra publicity from all the news coming out saying it has been delayed.
Its a money game and there playing it

i only briefly played the BETA and ddint put too much time into trying to figure out the new mechanics.
Maybe. But what was it, that you found confusing about it? The way you describe it, it sounds less confusing, not more.By doing this they have really lowered the strategic capability of the game.....e.g less options available for casters.
Hence why confusing because i hadnt nutted them out yet
"I read about World War 2 for 5 minutes but I didn't get it. World War 2 is confusing."
*edit*
this forum is full of pointless negativity and personal insults like this crap.
why doesnt everyone here try and move forward and aiming to be more positive or the mods should be getting rid of poeple like this instead of letting it flourish

carnage does not proc the weapons in DF hahaha that is hillarious
yeah you would pick a barb multiclass just for this if you could .........hence why they prob ditched it
-
yeah i played the beta.
The two main new differences from the first game i encountered where the new magic system and the boats encounters.
I briefly had a look at both
Not everyone racks up hundreds of hours like you do
-
I also think that the proc chances are generally too low. Problem is that once you include things like Carnage, Driving Flight and Blast suddenly those proc chances are too high. Look at the Redeemer or Unlabored Blade (old version) + Carnage or Stormcaller + Twinned Arrows + Driving Flight... So I guess Obsidian wanted to go a middle route.
yeah i agree. but dont you think that is a bad decision? letting carnage dictate the proc chance for all weapons?? they should change how carnage works instead of making weapons useless

1) per rest is gone, which means you can spam spells in every fight, however, you are limited to casting 2 spells per spell level.And for those who didn't play the beta (like me): In which way is it different. All that I know is, that per rest is gone.
2) to compensate, now spells take time to cast. For example, in current build it takes 6 seconds to cast fireball.
3) in addition to that you can only learn spells when you level up. Wizards get grimoires which can expand their repertoire up to extra 2 spells per level but you can’t edit grimoires, so it’s very likely that one grimoire will contain spells which you already know or can’t cast due to subclass restrictions limiting its usefulness.

thanks for spelling that out in plain english.
What a royal Fup from Obsidian to implement this. By doing this they have really lowered the strategic capability of the game.....e.g less options available for casters.
Are they sticking with these changes or are they possibly bringing back the old system because of neagtive feedback on the BETA?
looks like casters go a huge nerf. I think the martial classes will end up being far more powerful then the casters
-
It probably seems too low but when you actually play it in-game it's not that bad at all
I can echo seeing Grey Sleeper summons very, very often
on a barbarian with carnage maybe

if reckon if i had posted
"The soulbound proc rate from pillars 1 was to high at 10%, are OBS looking at fixing it by lowering the Proc rate"
I would have got a big heap of responses from forum members on this thread arguing that the proc should be raised not lowered"
Thats how this forum operates.
No seriously the pillars 1 forum is full of hundreds of posts stating that the proc rate for the soulbounds was to low at 10%. It was an issue in the first game that people wanted fixed

I'm here, did you need something?Am I the only one that has the feeling that master guardian and sonic mage are the same person? Something about the writing style... Or did you choose to ignore that and I am spoiling the fun with this post? Or am I just paranoid, because I spent too much time on facebook?
Anyway: I never tried carrot pie. I didn't even know that it's a thing. Should I try?
If you're that curious, you could ask a moderator/administrator do an ip check. But yeah, totally legit similarities in writing styles. Anyone who asks about negativity on the forums or makes themselves out to be a victim is me, just wanted to clear that up
Edit: Oh crap... wrong backer account!! SHOOT
Being compared to me is a great honor so take it as a compliment
i shouldnt ask othes why they dont like topics? Ok great thanksand again all the pointless negativity
alot of other threads ive had a look at like this aswell
OK, just in case you are not sonic mage: Nothing against your post. It just seemed to me that it was a forward pass (Can I say that in english?) for sonic.
If you say you don't like the casting system and wish to discuss that, maybe you shouldn't ask others why they don't like it. Maybe you should start by telling us which changes you didn't like and why
However, if it a joke and/or of mockery, it was in poor taste. You are about the 30th account I've been compared to, yep... another notch on the belt!
On a more serious note, welcome to the forums. Most new members don't make it past 20 posts so, hopefully you don't get turned off and stick around.
thankyou!!
