GreyFox Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 I can't wait to see how many people get totally owned in the Beta...I may watch some of the communities streams to see...morbid curiousity.
anameforobsidian Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Man, that reviewer was really annoying. The game looks great though. Wish I could have seen the ogre.
PrimeJunta Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 I can't wait to see how many people get totally owned in the Beta...I may watch some of the communities streams to see...morbid curiousity. I look forward to being totally owned in the beta. I think I can maybe do a little better than Adam even on a first try, but if I don't get party wiped a few times before getting the hang of it I'll be disappointed. 1 I have a project. It's a tabletop RPG. It's free. It's a work in progress. Find it here: www.brikoleur.com
salo Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Man, that reviewer was really annoying. The game looks great though. Wish I could have seen the ogre. Yeah, no kidding. I happened to catch a later stream as well and he was even worse there. He seemed drunk/high.
Freshock Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) I actually think the "interviewer" did good, but I can understand why you think that way. Guess reporters and hosts are acting over the top because they're not genuinely interested in every game they are asking questions about, but seemed to me like he was. He seemed a bit nervous though, which is understandable. The gameplay video is up on YouTube now by the way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoyrKRoknp4 Edited August 13, 2014 by Freshock 2 My YouTube

I suppose I let his style later in the show get to me a bit. 1

Upon even more review I wonder if they will want to revisit that whole healing spells don't heal actual life idea. It looked as though you can't get very far without taking a significant amount of real hp damage.(The way attacks work in this lead to way more hits) There were clearly a lot more enemies to fight in that zone and he was taking damage at pretty high clip.(real hp damage) It would be something like heal 1 real hp healed per 4 or whatever stamina healed with a spell. I think something like that would be on par but I guess the backer beta will tell us more. Or the 1:4 (is it?) real hp to stamina damage taken could be upped to 1:5 etc. Edited August 13, 2014 by GreyFox

Lephys Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 News just in: a games journalist in Cologne (Köln) just reported a few minutes ago that Paradox are doing a great job of plugging PoE and giving it exposure. Plugging it? Oh noes! Does that mean the game has... a memory leak?! 6_u 2 Should we not start with some Ipelagos, or at least some Greater Ipelagos, before tackling a named Arch Ipelago? 6_u

I wouldn't say extremely poorly, but not great either. I thought I saw some unnecessary disengagement attacks, and the AoE's weren't always the most efficient. Either way, the game itself looks great and I wouldn't want people analyzing my every move. Also, I highly doubt they'll change the health rule. If anything, they would probably lower the overall damage first. Edited August 13, 2014 by anameforobsidian 1
Flow Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) This one actually shows the ogre. Added bonus: no annoying Twitch guy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oM7zCl_cJuk Edited August 13, 2014 by Flow 13
kpflynn Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 I somehow had no idea the game had cosmetic pets until now. I hope there's a big variety of them. 1
Garm Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 The piglet "companion" is so random...I like it. The battle with the Ogre went pretty well considering the beetle fiasco. The game is looking good and my nostalgia levels are off the charts - well done, Obsidian!

Lephys Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 I don't understand why everyone's so excited about nostalgia. Is stalgia really so terrible? 6_u 4 Should we not start with some Ipelagos, or at least some Greater Ipelagos, before tackling a named Arch Ipelago? 6_u
Freshock Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) I don't understand why everyone's so excited about nostalgia. Is stalgia really so terrible? 6_u Your comment made me laugh, reminds me of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlnorPYTbGM I guess some people are afraid the game won't bring anything new to the table and just be a old game with new graphics, but the small previews we've got already tells (me atleast) that it will be loads of new features while keeping the old school feel.

Flow Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 I love the animations for the most part, but it would be nice to see a hit/no hit fleshed out a bit. The ogre's club overlapping with character models without a reaction isn't great. 4
Lephys Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 Visceral visuals are always nice. Should we not start with some Ipelagos, or at least some Greater Ipelagos, before tackling a named Arch Ipelago? 6_u

Can't find it, all I see is that mysterious "in-game item", do you know what kind of pet that was? Edit: Ah found it, searched for "pet" on the Kickstarter page and only one word showed up but you are right - man you got a sharp eye there. Edited August 14, 2014 by Freshock My YouTube
BAdler Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 Conversations do, but, to be completely honest, I can't remember if barks show up in the log. I will check once I get to work this morning. You check the forums BEFORE you go to work? Jesus, dude, you're in line for a ****ing pay rise. Not much time to check the forums at work so before or after works best for me. 2
ManifestedISO Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 Cool awesome. The twitch demo is exactly how I play ... run around, get wiped, can't rest, more enemies, backtracking ... but it's cool, I still have fun. Can't wait! All Stop. On Screen.

Edit: Ah found it, searched for "pet" on the Kickstarter page and only one word showed up but you are right - man you got a sharp eye there. It's also a graphic: ^see that little green thing in the upper right hand corner? That's a pig-monster. It's on all the tiers from $50 on up. 1
