... I need to change my pants...

 

AWESOME!!!

[Rhygar]

Will cloud save be enabled for experienced characters in quest mode as well ? That's characters probably played many times over than story mode.

Not at the moment, currently this feature only works for Story mode, but we are working on having it work for Quest mode as well.

[Longshot11]

You, guys, are awesome.

[bbaggins]

How is the cross-platform option coming along so that I can play on an Android tablet and continue the story (with all gold, treasure chests and vault of cards intact) on an iPad?

[Borissimo]

Wow! Welp, me and my predictions that we wouldn't see this till second half of June are sure looking pretty stupid right about now. You guys never cease to amaze. I don't know how you managed to do all the stuff in AD3 AND keep up with new features and bug fixes all in under a month.

 

Could the whole game be out by the end of the summer? Could we be seeing Skull and Shackles in 2017? I didn't think it was possible, but now maybe I do!

[FatePAC]

Eh so seelah is still allowed to use her inspired grace to change any check to a combat check?

[LordCrash]

Is a universal Win10 app planned? I'd really love to play Pathfinder on both my Windows Phone and my PC.

[ArchSenex]

 

- Seoni: Arcane Blast now properly adds the Arcane Trait.

 

This is actually wrong.  Arcane blast wasn't properly adding the Magic trait, and is not supposed to add the Arcane Trait.

[belial1134]

>>This includes issues where a rewarded card would fly off the screen and issues where a selected character simply wouldn't receive a reward.

 

So I have this problem in Quest mode and there are no workarounds which have fixed this issue. I can't even quit the game, have to shut off the ipad all together

 

Will the patch fix the issue if we are currently stuck with it or will I have to re-install the app and if so, won't I lose all my characters?

 

Thanks

[Dunesparrow]

Hey there.

 

The Devs have stated that they intend to develop and release Pathfinder Adventures for Steam on PC.

 

Thanks

[FatePAC]

Do i have to buy it again for PC? Do i get to keep my party and gold?

[Blave]

Ok, this is WAY faster than I expected! :D

 

Some questions on Cloud saves:

 

Is there a limited to how many parties you can have in story mode? I have like 6 or 7 across 3 devices. Will they all fit into the Cloud saves?

 

And how does the cloud save work with offline play? I assume it will sync the newest version of each group once the device I last played on goes online again?

[Armament81]

Wohoo!  Thats going to be a great patch!  Thanks guys!

[Rolth]

I'm really happy about the new scenario being added, but I do not see any response to the issues with Lini and Seelah on IOS. Lini's dice pool seems to act funny as you go deeper into her discards to use her various powers. For Seelah, when you use her power that lets you discard a card from the top of her deck, the check often changes to combat when facing a monster, even if combat isn't an available option. For instance, fighting a Harpy or any of the beginning/end of turn checks after facing a bane. Also, the banes that have the difficulty increased by the adventure deck number do not actually have this applied to them.

[ArchSenex]

Also, the banes that have the difficulty increased by the adventure deck number do not actually have this applied to them.

This one is known. They ARE applied, the problem is that it's added silently (since the app can do that), and you have to notice that they're getting a bump by knowing what the base was.  Some indication that the number printed isn't the base would absolutely help, but so far I haven't seen a reported case where there was an SS that showed it was incorrect after this was accounted for.

[dcalbie]

Any chance of this being a universal release on ios so us iphone users can get in on the action as well?

This was an error in our notes. It has been corrected! Good catch!

[Irgy]

Great news, great fixes, pleased to hear it's coming already!

 

It's going to be kind of odd having role cards and no AD4 to use them on, but I'd rather get AD3 now than wait longer for 3+4, so that's fine

It's not entirely wrong. It should have BOTH the Magic AND the Arcane trait. It's a power that replaces your Combat check with an Arcane skill roll (the power currently says die, but that is incorrectly worded, it should say skill instead), and all powers/cards that replace your combat check with a different skill add that skill as a trait to the check.

 

Good to read that the Magic trait is being applied though, that is by far the more important of the two.

and all powers/cards that replace your combat check with a different skill add that skill as a trait to the check.

 

You have a source for that one?  I know all cards that replace a check add their traits, but I don't know of a case where I've seen it say that they add their skills.  Most weapons for example have Melee as a trait, so that would be redundant, same with spells (they have arcane or divine as a trait on the spell).  I haven't seen anything that ever keys off of having Diplomacy as a trait, for instance (although lots of things key off diplomacy checks).

 

In fact, I can't think of anywhere other than Seoni at the Thassilonian dungeon where such a rule would ever really apply, so it seems oddly specific.

[haloa92]

will the new adventure cost 4000 gold as the other ones? cause I piled 10k gold to get the character deck, and I want to know if I better save them for the adventure

I don't believe that's quite right.  If a card defines a check, the CARD'S traits are added to the check.  The skill itself is an entirely separate entity.  (Hence, the confusion with Ranged and Melee being both Skills and commonly used Traits.)

You are correct! It was a typo on our end. We changed it to Magic.
