  1. RTwP has been getting steadily better over the years and with a 40-80 hour game, you don't really want a battle system that takes up even more time like turn-based does. if you like the premise, but not the system, back it at a low level so that you can just test it out when it ships. If you don't like it, at least you showed there's a market for the premise even if the game itself wasn't your ideal. If you do like it, then that's also fine. Having never played that game, I heartily agree with you? I am uncertain whether the rusty nail is a fantasy tavern or a strip club, or a fantasy strip club? I'm imagining Pathfinder goblins pole-dancing and a malfunctioning riding pig golem.
  2. First Stretch goal just announced. 2nd is clearly "Magus" https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/owlcatgames/pathfinder-kingmaker/posts/1912108
  3. My Characters have Returned! Huzzah! Still no Progress, but I can live with that. EDIT: Apparently all of my times beating and unlocking levels and my characters with their decks are back too now.
  4. I think is the two-way approach to buying content that is causing disconnects. Let's just compare from the standpoint of the "Base" RoTR versions: PC Buy on PC for $25, and you have all the Base RoTR content, including all Uncommon and Rare Treasure Cards Can download the game on your mobile device for free and access your content there Mobile Buy on mobile for $25 (or via gold), and you have all the Base RoTR content Cannot go cross-platform for free. Must spend another $25 to get access to the PC version If you are just looking to get into the game now, your $25 goes a long way. If you have been a supporter from the beginning, earning or buying your way through the game, I can see how it seems a little unfair that PC players are getting more stuff for less money and they can go cross-platform without having to spend an additional $25. The Ambassador Program doesn't looks like it is trying to hand out free copies of the PC game or DLC, it just provides an upgrade incentive for invested players interested in the Obsidian Edition (and all the perks) to pick it up at a little over half-price. That's Explicitly not how Buying on mobile works though. Have you not read the first post? If you spend $25 on Mobile you get the Upgrade to Obsidian edition for free. So they are handing out copies of the DLC for "free."
  5. Okay, So I don't know everything about how things are going to be implemented (since they haven't revealed it all), but at the very least for Clerics and Inquisitors your deity controls what Domains and Inquisitions (respectively) you have access to as well as whether you channel Positive or Negative energy (for Clerics). You still need to be within 1 step of your Deity's alignment or else you'll lose access to those class features. You may have noticed that I didn't mention Turning Undead. that's gone now. Clerics can channel bursts of Positive energy (either to heal the living or to harm undead) or Negative Energy (to Harm the living or Heal undead) based on their alignment instead. It's much more useful. Also more useful are domains. You still get Domain spells at each level and 2 Domains based on your Deity's portfolio. Domains ALSO grant two powers; one at 1st level which is usually some sort of attack usable up to 1/2 your cleric level per day, like an acid dart, a melee touch attack, or a bonus you can convey to a creature by touching them; and a more powerful ability at either 6th or 8th level (for example the "Good" Domain can turn a weapon into a Holy weapon for a number of rounds equal to half their cleric level per day, and the "Knowledge Domain" can use Clairaudience/Clairvoyance a number of rounds per day equal to their cleric level as a spell-like ability). You can also choose from your deity's sub domains to swap domain powers and spells around a bit in pathfinder, but I'm not sure if those are/will be implemented in Kingmaker. Inquisitions are basically domains with more powerful abilities, but no domain spells. There exist variant Paladin codes for every deity that paladins can serve (All Lawful Good, Neutral Good, and Lawful Neutral Deities) but we don't yet know if these have been implemented. Also Deities don't have Hit-points and cannot be killed in the pathfinder system (though demi-gods like Demon lords can be). Deities are also relevant for Warpriests, and Antipaladins (think Blackguard, but as a full class instead of a prestige). None of these classes have been confirmed to be in the game yet, but since they do plan extra classes as Stretch Goals, they might end up there. Warpriests have Blessings, which are like Inquisitions, but grant abilities at level 1 and Level 10, and have different abilities that they grant than Inquisitions. Anti-Paladins also have Anti-Paladin codes for various deities they can serve.
  6. Deities work in two ways, They'll be present in your temples and stuff for your kingdom, and they're implemented (for certain) in classes like Clerics, Inquisitors, and possibly Paladins. Beyond that I don't know. The actual deities are at the very least the "Core 20" they're by and large different deities from D&D save for Asmodeus. Are you asking about what Deities there are and what they do/are like? or how they'll be implemented mechanically for each of the classes?
  7. I also have this issue. PFID-6DD3781355530638 Google Play ID Stratagemini #7828 Is there any way to salvage my advancement and also the 10 new chests I opened before I realized what had happened? All of my Cards still exist, but none of my Characters seem to, nor my campaign mode advancement. I don't particularly care about the latter, but I don't want to have to spend my coins and cash buying characters again.
  8. So just updated the game for Android, (the update is out) and saw that I had 10 new chests. out of those 10 chests, 8 of them had Dice sets in them. Did they vastly increase the drop rate of dice sets? Or was this just luck?
  9. Let me ease your mind by transferring over my collection of what we know from the Paizo Forums (they make Pathfinder as a tabletop game): Regarding the Kickstarter: -The game will be published in 2018 regardless whether the Kickstarter is successful or not. -The Kickstarter is Live and can be found Here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/owlcatgames/pathfinder-kingmaker/ -The kickstarter is an attempt to add "more companions, more depth to the companions, more dungeons and wilderness to explore, … and more new quests and content by famous Pathfinder authors and RPG authors." also more original music, and more voiceover. Basically it exists solely to fund extra cool stuff for the game. -Mass combat is a late kickstarter stretch goal since it requires a lot of assets. -To make up for Mass Combat's absence the PCs get to do cool stuff like infiltrate behind enemy lines. Making alliances is expected to give you different army options if they are able to implement mass combat. - Rest is the first planned Kickstarter stretch Goal. During rest periods, players will be able to send companions out to hunt, thus reducing the need to buy rations, and will be able to set traps and alarms. They'll also be able to assign companions to guard against random attack. -Both OS X and Linux Releases are Kickstarter stretch Goals. -Additional Classes and Races from other sourcebooks will be revealed in the Kickstarter and in the form of stretch goals. -The Initial goal of the Kickstarter is to make the Kingdom system more awesome. See Kingdom section for more details. -Archetypes are a stretch Goal. -New Locations are a Stretch goal. -An epic Dungeon is a stretch goal. -Custom companions (like in pillars of Eternity) may be a stretch goal if there's interest in it from backers. Regarding the Base Game: -The game is Single Player only. Multiplayer and DM tools are being looked at as late game stretch Goals. -The base game (un-kickstarted) is both mostly complete and includes all 6 AP Modules. The whole story is there with details being Fleshed out by Chris Avellone. -A capstone is planned possibly taking characters to level 20. We do not know if this is a kickstarter plan, or a base game plan. -You can build and develop a kingdom of our own, this is in the base game. The Kickstarter will make this better. From people who played the Demo, There are already some cool kingdom events. -The game will include diplomats from neighbors, including Brevoy and Irrisen (and possibly Mendev?). If you make alliances, that could unlock different buildings for your kingdom. There will be allies available for every alignment. -The game is run on an engine developed using the Unity engine. It is Isometric in look and feel. -There will be plenty of side-quests. -You will be able to be evil, but it will be a cruel and cunning "smart evil" such as talking two enemies into killing each other, rather than just asking for more money as a quest reward. -The base game includes a forty hour main storyline, and forty to eighty to forty hours of fun side content. -There will be a lot of new content unique to this version of the Stolen Lands -- just like it would be in any DM's version. -The game "will have a certain degree of linearity: just like in the table-top game, some challenges will arise, and it would be up to you how you'll tackle them. You can't avoid being the baron(ess), then the king/queen, since it's the premise of the game. However, you'll be free to explore the Stolen Lands, find lots of events unrelated to the main course of events, and choose how to act there. So, you're guaranteed to meet the persons you can see on the covers of the Adventure Path books, but you'll meet them inside a large sandbox." -Game spans Levels 1 - 20. -All 20 Core Deities are in. Character Creation: -The Game includes all the races and Classes from the Core Rulebook. It also includes Alchemist and Inquisitor. The Rogue is from Pathfinder Unchained, the Barbarian unchained but can choose between normal and Unchained Rage, the Monk is as yet undecided. -Arcane Trickster is in the game already, other Prestige classes are planned as well. -There are already more than 15 spells to choose from for each of the three first spell levels, with more to come. There will be over 300 spells total by the time the game is launched. -Bardic masterpieces are in. -There are around 10 Animal Companions in the base game. -There are around 10 Familiars in the base game. No word either way on Red Pandas. I remain hopeful. -There will be more than 300 feats. -There will be NO Grippli, not even as a stretch goal, due to licensing issues since Grippli are WotC IP. -Since there is no mounted combat, Cavaliers seem vanishingly unlikely. Similarly, Paladin Mount bonds. -There are pregenerated builds and recommendations for all the choices and options. -The current plan for Character Creation is point buy. The Devs have stated that they may also consider rolling characters as an optional alternative. Multiplayer and Modding: -Base game is Single Player only. -While DM Tools and Multiplayer were floated as possible stretch goals early on, the Devs want to focus on making a good Single Player game first and foremost and so they don't want to promise that they will be available. Regarding Companions: -There are either 10 or 11 Companions in the Base Game. -Companion characters are a mix of New characters, iconic Pathfinder characters, and characters already existing in the AP. -Amiri, the Iconic Barbarian, is a companion with a lot of backstory and events happening around her throughout the game. -Jubilost Narthropple is a companion. He a cantankerous gnome, is kind of a jerk, and you can fail to recruit him if you screw up your attempt to help him out with his wagon. He's also a character from the original AP. -Valerie is a blonde haired Human Woman from Brevoy. She is also a Fighter who Worships Gorum, and a failed Paladin of Shelyn. -A halfling that looks suspiciously like Lem is a companion. -A bard is a companion. He decides to join you because he wants to record your story. This companion has not been seen yet and may or may not be the halfling. -Octavia is a female Half-Elf wizard/rogue/arcane trickster. -There is a Blonde male who looks like an Elven inquisitor of Sarenrae. -There is a Half-Orc who definitely looks like a Magus (or maybe he's the bard)? - There is what looks like either a Taldan or Ulfen Human male Fighter. -There is an either Garundi or Mwangi man in light armor. -Finally, there is what I believe looks like a Tian Woman, but others tell me looks like Jiselle the iconic Swashbuckler. -There will be companion Romance, but it isn't the only relationship option. This Includes LGBTQ romance options. -Companions can disagree with you, leave you, and even turn on you if they don't like you. They do NOT need to be in your party for this to happen. Companions are living people and don't stop existing just because you leave them home. -The story can change considerably depending on your party composition. -Each companion has an expandable novel style bio that expands as you learn more about them and progress in the game. -You can take 5 Companions with you in a party at one time. -You can level up your companions based on your own preferences, even changing their classes if you wish, there is however a suggested path, and you can have them auto-level if you wish instead. -You will also be able to choose from several AI behaviours for your party members, allowing them to use spells and abilities or spend resources on their own. -Each companion will have one or several levels in a predetermined class when you meet them. You can level them any way you wish from there on out, but their "starting class" is preset. Mechanics: -Combat format is Real Time with Pause. There's going to be an option for auto-pausing combat at the beginning of each "turn", essentially making it quasi-turn-based. "Turns" last approximately three seconds. -The character sheet is mostly the same, with the same ability scores and skills (though they lumped together some less-used skills to avoid ranks waste). -Combat includes: initiative, attacks of opportunity, sneak attacks, Trip, Power Attack (as a toggle), Fighting Defensively, Spontaneous casting of heal spells, and Channeling positive energy. -Feats include many books beyond core, and include Elemental Spell Focus, and Evocation Spell Focus. -Perception is a Skill in this game and allows you to spot Loot. -The game currently includes a comprehensive Alignment meter which plays a significant role in the game. There are a lot of choices that shift your alignment towards one of the nine possible, and your current alignment sometimes affects the way NPC react to you. -There is No Crafting, instead there's a Royal Artisans system that will make magic items (and even Artifacts) for you. -you can either auto-select the best party member for a skill check, or manually select who you want to attempt it. -Difficulty levels are: Core Rules (similar to tabletop Pathfinder but real time, not turn based), adapted rules (less deadly for less experienced, crits deadliness reduced), story mode (really simple combat), Iron man (tougher monsters, just one save that overwrites itself so accept your mistakes), and custom (for example, core rules with reduced crits). -The level up screen will suggest options to you sort of like Amazon's "If you liked X you might also like Y." -Wings will be in the system, and they will do something cool "we instead may, for example, give a sorcerer an ability to create strong winds and push the enemies away with a flap of his wings or will allow him to reposition himself on the battlefield by flying up and landing elsewhere." -The AI can help you control the characters in battle. -There will be no Flying in Combat or Mounted Combat. -Stats will be Paint Buy by default with an option to have rolled stats due to backer demand. -This update can tell you more. The Kingdom: -There are playable companions as well as NPCs you can assign to kingdom roles (from Ultimate Campaign), with enough choices for 2-3 options for each role. -Advisers will give advice based on their personality. this may not be the best advice. You will have to interpret it. -Expanding The Kingdom is the initial goal of the Kickstarter. -You can add more than 14 regions to your kingdom. -There are 300 Kingdom Events and 100 Kingdom Projects. -You can ally with outside Factions, there are 9 allies currently, one for each alignment. these include the Witches of Irrisen. They'll be walking around the streets of your capitol. -The Kickstarter aims to: --Make the Kingdom's appearance reflect your alignment and choices. --Let you recruit royal artisans to your kingdom that make you cool stuff (including Artifacts). --Add more responsiveness to your choices (for example saving a troll family could let you unlock a Troll Bridge building and a Legendary club they make for you, and how you solve problems would unlock different rewards for them). --Add randomized Kingdom events that make your kingdom different in every playthrough. -Kingdom Roles will be similar to Ultimate campaign, but with fewer roles for less redundancy. -Your state is a barony at first with some of the roles absent, but they will become available as your state upgrades to a kingdom. -This Update can tell you more. Miscellaneous Stuff: -Owlcat is in close contact with Paizo in developing this. They're also running 4 simultaneous Kingmaker campaigns. -Character sheet screens are super detailed. -Tooltips exist which provide Golarion and Pathfinder-based lore. -Settings will include "Story Mode," "Core Rules," and something similar to Iron Man Mode (which will only have one save). -Initial languages for Localization are: English, German, French, and Russian. More may be available as Stretch goals based on popular demand. -Digital Release is planned for GOG and Steam. -No matter what Race you play you can choose your Gender and Skin tone. -The premium digital version includes some backer-only in-game items (a special cloak, a helmet and a ring, as well as one unique and quirky spell). The regular digital edition comes with a cloak. -No news As of yet whether Owlcats (or Kittens) will be a thing in the game. But I hold out hope for a cool Owlkitten pet. -There will be an option for the colorblind, and all spoken text will be available in written form (wither in interactions or in logs) for the hearing impaired. -Beta is scheduled for the first quarter of 2018. -The alpha is planned for fall this year (2017). -The Boxed version is planned to be DRM-free. -This is the Update on Map Design System Requirements: Minimal system requirements Video: Intel HD Graphics 3000 CPU: Intel Celeron 1037U @ 1.80GHz RAM: 4 Gb OS: Win 7 Resolution: 1366 x 768 Recommended system requirements Video: ATI Radeon HD 5770/GeForce GTX 960M CPU: Intel Core i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz RAM: 8 Gb OS: Win 7 Resolution: 1920 x 1080
  10. First off, It's shared content between accounts, so buying the PC version will also unlock things in the non-PC version. Second, Sometimes it's a lot easier to play a card game with a mouse, and a large enough monitor to really appreciate the art. Convenience isn't always what I search for in a game, Sometimes I'm at home watching TV and I just wanna relax. Being hunched over my phone isn't relaxing.
  11. Scripted encounters where you have to fight. I want to be able to talk my way out of things, even if I have to bribe or give them something in return.
  12. I actually like the idea of limiting enchantment to make switching weapons more desirable. I also really like the idea that there will be a limitation on the sort of enchantments you can add to a weapon based on what the weapon is (like flaming burst only going on the fire sword). Both of those seem like cool changes to me.
  13. Still not getting my daily gold despite the daily challenges resetting.
  14. For some reason, I get the "sign up for daily gold" button instead of the button to collect the gold. Can you fix this? It's not the first time this has happened to me.
  15. I actually hope for something Bloodthirsty. Not Lilacor, but a similar sentiment not played as much for laughs.
  16. I bought the upgraded Team Valeros bundle, everything went through, the chests open, there are now Two Ornate and charming Longswords in my Promo cards (in addition to the one instance of ornate and charming Crossbows). I go to buy the Upgraded harsk bundle and it says: "Error Authentication is Required. You need to sign into your google account." Except I am signed in. So I signed out and signed back in. I closed out and restarted the game. I even restarted the entire phone and restarted the game. The error persists. How can I fix this so that I can buy the Upgraded Harsk bundle?
  17. I think you should always be able to change your hair and beard, even in the middle of the game. Honestly, that's just a haircut and a shave (maybe you'd need a razor or shears to do it, but still). If you're starting over from level 1 you should be able to change your class too. especially because there are major mechanical changes to the class system. Same with first level skills. And Stats. Anything with mechanical changes from how it worked in PoE1 you should be able to alter. Voice packages might be different too so you should be able to explore them. You shouldn't be able to alter your name, or Race, sex or National origin (unless those got mechanical changes when I wasn't looking?). I think the backgrounds were tied to class choices so you may end up having to alter those.
  18. Thanks. Whatever dark magic you seem to have wrought worked and everything is back, except for the weekly reward which seems to have vanished into the ether.
  19. After checking, I seem to have lost my Dice as well, and possibly my other purchases.
  20. Something extremely strange is going on with the game. This morning I had ~400 gold, I completed the daily challenge bringing it to 500, which triggered the weekly challenge which I redeemed and should have brought it to a little over 1,000. It stayed at 500. I assume this was a UI error and went to the store to buy 2 chests I pressed Up on the chest counter for purchasing chests. It wouldn't go past 1. I exited out and waited a few hours assuming it would fix itself. Now all of my gold has vanished. The daily gold page of the store says "sign up for daily gold" instead of displaying the countdown despite me having purchased daily gold (I had this problem less than a week ago as well and it seemed to be fixed). The Treasure chest portion of the store lists chests at a price of "-1" gold, and the sign in thing on the main page of the game in the upper left hand corner is green with no text (despite the game having displayed my name and my google achievements score upon start up). I've restarted my device. I've closed out and restarted the app. These problems persist despite that. Just in case it's linked to my current problem, I recently bought the Karzoug Bundle. Help me, Pathfinder Adventures support. You're my only hope.
  21. I just added it. Seemed like it might be useful to have there. Looks like it is fixed. I'm providing a report of the results below, in case you want them for your records. I logged in, and got the daily gold animation upon entering the store (without actually pressing the button), but gold was listed as 0. Went back to the main menu and now the gold seems correct and is in its normal count down. Also there are also 6 new treasure chests, since you told me to look for them I assume that's your doing. Thank you for fixing the issue so quickly. EDIT: Pressing the last chest sends me back to the store menu but doesn't open it. And it still lists as one chest?
  22. For some reason the game is no longer giving me the daily gold I bought. Instead I'm getting the same screens (sign up for daily gold, and a price of $1.99) as if I hadn't bought daily gold at all before. I believe the error happened yesterday (I hot both the gold and the old screens), but I'm not sure what caused it. What is happening and can it be fixed?
