Fiery Rain

Full time Eora Universalis/Josh Sawyer's Pirates! spinoff or bust.

Oh, okay. This bug is very old, so yeah, that should be obvious that they're aware, but as I said, you never know. Regarding attack speed: yeah, sure, but I somehow suspect that out of all PoE players, there's maybe 5 percent of them at most, who visit these boards. It would help, I suppose, if that information was posted somewhere here in a sticky thread for everyone to see. And, well, it doesn't take much to communicate this particular issue properly - just update/create Attack Speed in Mechanics section of Cyclopedia with a few lines of text, and that's it. BTW, it's good to see that Pallegina's order finally got recognised as something mechanically different and not just roleplaying flavor. Now the only thing that remains is her breastplate - apart from five star emblem, it is, AFAIK, the same usual breastplate as any other. All companions would benefit from unique equipment to mechanically compensate for their not-so-optimal stats and make them preferable to players who doesn't play for the story per se (I'm not one of them, mind you) so they wouldn't stick to hirelings that easy. I'm fine either way, but who knows.

While we're at it, can someone with a twitter remind Josh (or bump/create a thread, I haven't followed much) about a Chanter Rime Traps (or something) that litters save file and supposedly serves as the main reason for bloated loading times? It seems the loading thread in the feedback forum got bumped again, but, AFAIK, there's no mention for Chanter traps - just that they are bloated and that's it. Maybe I'm wrong but you never know. Also, I read through the NerdCommando guide and it seems Obsidian need to at least mention (via Cyclopedia entry, maybe) about the fact that Speed bonuses apply to recovery time only and do not affect attack and reload animation at all. There's plenty of other issues that need to be mentioned/corrected, but to me, this one seems the most crucial - since it directly affects calculations of combat performance in player's head. I suspect many players still think that doubling attack speed means ALL animations execute two times quicker.

Thanks, much appreciated!

Guys, sorry for the dumb question (and perhaps I'm asking this in the wrong thread), but how can you actually make corrections in the translation? Do you specifically need to install Unity for that and then edit stringtables? Or some sort of alternate utility should suffice?

There is an additional pro. The beta costs more than the final game, since you need to match its price to the beta Kickstarter tier. As Wasteland 2 has demonstrated, there are plenty of people out there willing to pay $60 for an unfinished RPG. It'd be a shame to leave that money in their pockets. I'm not sure if that's really a pro. Rather, it's a double-edged sword. Remember, overall amount of backers still represent only a small percentage of Steam users. For backers, 60$ may be a fair price (because it's Kickstarter's usual practice and they've used to it), but average Steam user is a totally different story. For him or her PoE simply may be "just another game, and I think it costs too much for early access", and as a result, he/she probably would not buy it, but instead would go to Steam discussion and open the thread "Why I must pay 60$ for unfinished game and be a beta tester?". Wasteland 2 already suffered that - remember the thread "About the pricing". It has several thousands of posts and still continues to this day with no end in sight. And the price is just the same - 60 dollars. On top of that, PoE won't be a full-fledged game like Wasteland 2 when it opens on a EA - it will be just a demo. This means even less content. Now imagine Steam users' reaction when they discover they have to pay this price for "just a demo". I may be wrong, but I think Dead State can be example for that... There are people who'll want to pay 60$ for PoE, of course. I'm sure there will be a lot of them. But... I think this strategy will probably also lead to a lot of uneccessary badmouthing.
