IndiraLightfoot Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Yay! It's like 42 days left until we get our grubby hands on Pillars of Eternity. The wait has been fantastic, but having it for real will be even more excellent! In fact, 42 days before the shipping date only means one thing. The game will soon be locked, including present bugs and all, and burnt on those discs in those physical editions. Obviously, any bug tracking will keep on going frantically, and then there will be a hefty and very important day one patch. I'm so happy about this. PoE can't come soon enough. And a huge gratz, Obsidian, for pulling this one off! 8 *** "The words of someone who feels ever more the ent among saplings when playing CRPGs" ***

I'm confident that the game will deliver 1 "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Starwars Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Can't wait to play the full thing, it's gonna be awesome! Listen to my home-made recordings (some original songs, some not): http://www.youtube.c...low=grid&view=0
FireExit Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 I have the the week after release booked off for one very specific reason 2
Greetsme Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 +1 for great expectations. Roll on launch day. 1
rjshae Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Well it's good, but... I've learned to wait for a few patch updates so that I get a more enjoyable gaming experience. So perhaps by the end of the year it'll be ready. "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats."
BruceVC Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 I have the the week after release booked off for one very specific reason Thats some impressive commitment my friend, well played 2 "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Lephys Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 I'm confident that the game will deliver ! I hope not! I need my liver! 6_u 8 Should we not start with some Ipelagos, or at least some Greater Ipelagos, before tackling a named Arch Ipelago? 6_u
Anto Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 I have to take a week-long work trip 3 days after the game comes out. Those are definitely going to be the most frantic 3 days of play in my entire life. 1
Mazisky Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) I remember when the game was just announced, there weren't any found or screenshots yet and i was already excited. It seems yesterday lol, time passes fast I feel old now. And sad. Wtf death will come soon (and maybe a Poe2\3\4 in the process at least) Edited February 13, 2015 by Mazisky 1
Valmy Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 I cannot wait to get my hands on this thing so I can join the engagement discussions! 1

IndiraLightfoot Posted March 3, 2015 Author Posted March 3, 2015 And now half of this waiting agony has passed. Only 23 days to go until CRPG bliss. Yep, my hopes and expectations are set sky-high! I cast Haste and hope that time will pass faster. *** "The words of someone who feels ever more the ent among saplings when playing CRPGs" ***
Sonntam Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 I really hope that my Collector's Book will arrive before Pillars of Eternity is released. It would be awesome to spend the days before release savoring the lore of the world. Just the mere thought makes me giddy happy.
Stun Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Speaking of countdowns, I discovered something this morning. quite unexpected. The metacritic entry for PoE has a real time (like, to the second) countdown clock you can watch, if you want. http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/pillars-of-eternity As of this second, we've got 22 days, 15 hrs, 7 min, 13 sec until release! 3
IndiraLightfoot Posted March 3, 2015 Author Posted March 3, 2015 Great find, Stun! If it's correct, this would mean it would get released early morning CET, so if a Friday off and then a weekend, I get to immerse myself big time at the get-go. *** "The words of someone who feels ever more the ent among saplings when playing CRPGs" ***
IndiraLightfoot Posted March 3, 2015 Author Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) As of this second, we've got 22 days, 15 hrs, 7 min, 13 sec until release! OK... This is odd, but over here it clearly states 22 days, 9 hrs, 7 min, 13 sec until release. Paradox is based in Sweden, so perhaps we get it six hours earlier. EDIT: So, it would be nice to know if it's a confirmed Thu-Fri midnight release on Steam etc. Edited March 3, 2015 by IndiraLightfoot *** "The words of someone who feels ever more the ent among saplings when playing CRPGs" ***
Stun Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) I'm not an expert on this, but my gut is telling me that it's not really up to Paradox. I think it's up to Steam. And I'm not 100% sure how steam handles those global midnight releases. Do they stagger-release them worldwide so that the game is unlocked when it's midnight in YOUR area, or do they calibrate the release so that the game is released globally at the same time. Ugh, I don't have the mind for this kind of stuff. Edited March 3, 2015 by Stun

It would be awesome to spend the days before release savoring the lore of the world. Just the mere thought makes me giddy happy. Yeah I wanted this to, but it does not look like it is the case. Or at least not for me since I ordered it off Amazon. It is not due to be delivered until April.
IndiraLightfoot Posted March 3, 2015 Author Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) Indeed, this is brain-wringing stuff. I know of a few rare games on Steam, which had global midnight releases, and they went with the Australian timezone midnight, so they were released very early. Let's hope for something similar this time. Normally, though, Steam is obsessed with releases at 19:00 hrs or slightly later CET.

Or at least not for me since I ordered it off Amazon. It is not due to be delivered until April. Ok, it seems I mistook Collector's Book with Guidebook (which I actually meant, since it has the lore I'm so interested in). http://www.amazon.de/Pillars-Eternity-Guidebook-Obsidian-Entertainment/dp/1616558091/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1425393367&sr=8-3&keywords=pillars+of+eternity Amazon says the Guidebook will be released on 24th March. So, if I'm lucky it could arrive before the game itself.
IndiraLightfoot Posted March 3, 2015 Author Posted March 3, 2015 Perhaps Obsidian will do something similar to what InXile did? inXile released their juicy manual for free a few dways before WL2 was released - that was great, since it allowed us to dream away and plan our characters ahead. Obviously, it would be so sweet if OE let us backers get our lore books earlier, just because they're awesome. *** "The words of someone who feels ever more the ent among saplings when playing CRPGs" ***
The Mist Devil Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 We're in March! And PoE will be released so close of my BD. What a treat! « Celui qui est consumé par la flamme de la justice ne craint ni le ciel, ni l’enfer ; il n’est qu’une arme attendant le jour de sa mort ». (Paul Murphy, l'Enclave, 1971)
Rhaeg Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Since my small brain cannot keep up with all the lengthy posts in important debates about romances in cRPGs and what a beaver called "Angry Joe" thinks about PoE, I hereby declare this to be my favourite thread on these forums! Onwards to release, we're almost there and let's have fun! \o/ 1
phimseto Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 When do the Steam codes go out? I'd love to have it pre-loaded and ready to go at launch.
