smjjames Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 Not sure what Mike means by shooting for Wenesday for extra specialness. Maybe more time to work on it.
DexGames Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 I don't think so, I was talking about a release for Monday, but Mikey's basically saying "no, aiming for Wednesday"

Xoti is a priestess of Gaun (a variant of the Eothas priest subclass) and a Sister of the Reaping Moon monk. Serafen is a base class barbarian and Wild Mind (self-taught) cipher. Maia is a Gunhawk ranger. Pallegina is a paladin of the Frermàs mes Canc Suolias (though in some Pillars 1 endings she became a Kind Wayfarer). Tekēhu is a Watershaper druid and Storm Speaker chanter. Ydwin is currently a base cipher and/or base rogue, but two of the other sidekicks do have subclasses. 2 "Time is not your enemy.

smjjames Posted September 10, 2017 Posted September 10, 2017 Watershaper druid and Stormspeaker chanter for Tekehu.... This seems to reinforce Tekehu being an Ondra godlike different from the Moon godlike, but storms aren't in Ondra's, or anybodys, portfolio and the closest would be Rymrgand because generic 'natural disasters'. Hylea is a sky goddess, but her portfolio doesn't indicate any sort of weather association.
injurai Posted September 10, 2017 Posted September 10, 2017 His godlikeliness doesn't necessarily correlate with his class profession. But there is certainly something up with him.
White Phoenix Posted September 10, 2017 Posted September 10, 2017 (edited) Storm is Hylea's as all meterological phenomena lay in her domain like wind, lightning etc. I wonder if Xoti has the same spells as priest of Eothas or their spells differ from each other.

smjjames Posted September 10, 2017 Posted September 10, 2017 (edited) When you break your promise to her (for the decision you make at endgame), her wrath is straight out of Alfred Hitch****'s The Birds though, not storms. Injurai does have a point though in that Tekehu's godlikeness doesn't neccesarily correlate to his subclass. More likely it's connected to his culture and background, similar to Pallegina. edit: lol, the forum blocked out part of Alfreds last name. Edited September 10, 2017 by smjjames 3

Hylea is a sky goddess, but her portfolio doesn't indicate any sort of weather association. Odrna has domain over sea storms. If you piss her off in PE: The oceans proved no safer. A barrage of squalls pounded the harbors along the Dyrwoodan coast for months, sending many ships to be forever lost in the depths of Ondra's domain, either mourned or forgotten- both to the Lady's liking.
smjjames Posted September 11, 2017 Posted September 11, 2017 (edited) Yeah, I suppose she could throw a Cat5 hurricane on steroids at something she wanted to take her wrath out on. Perhaps in Eora, storms and weather aren't covered by any specific god. Weather phenomenons are generally in whatever the god/desses domain is, winter storms would be Rymrgand, sea storms and storms coming off the sea would be Ondra, people could pray to Gaun (Eotha's harvest god persona) for rains to have a bountiful harvest, and maybe Hylea gets whatever is left over. Or perhaps Ondra defaults to being the rain goddess. Either way, Tekehu's background and stuff will be interesting. Edited September 11, 2017 by smjjames

smjjames Posted September 12, 2017 Posted September 12, 2017 According to the text, some kind of tablet? I guess it'd be something similar to what Kana was looking for. Sounds like Josh is amused at the writing.
Lord_Mord Posted September 12, 2017 Posted September 12, 2017 Turns out Arkemyr has a primary source, whatever that is: He is the primary source. You know like Pythagoras if he was still alive. What amuses Josh is that from the perspective of a historian Arkemyr is nothing but living source material. At least that's how I understood it. My english is not that good. --- We're all doomed

Doesn't say what triggered them to explode though: https://twitter.com/jesawyer/status/907399470412734464Looking at the log, would anyone else prefer something like?: Gunpowder Barrel activates Gunpowder Explosion. Gunpowder Explosion hits The Devil for x damage and knocked her out. Gunpowder Explosion hits Eder for x damage and knocked him out. Gunpowder Explosion crits Brine Imp for x damage and kills it. Or if pronouns are a problem: Gunpowder Barrel activates Gunpowder Explosion. Gunpowder Explosion hits for x damage and knocks out The Devil. Gunpowder Explosion hits for x damage and knocks out Eder. Gunpowder Explosion crits for x damage and kills Brine Imp. I mean: I'd like to see at a glance the damage that knocked down my party members.

injurai Posted September 12, 2017 Posted September 12, 2017 Well this is a busy week for me, so better to not be thinking about the big 4 0. Also I agree with Josh on the value of the polytendril approach to game development, Pillars has a strong cohesion about it that I love. The series certainly benefited by being grounded in that. It makes sense for an expanded vision to delegate more because of the increased scope but also the team is more up to speed on what Pillars is. 2

the_dog_days Posted September 12, 2017 Posted September 12, 2017 So Josh likes the lore book. :shrug:
JerekKruger Posted September 12, 2017 Posted September 12, 2017 the guy on the project who don't read fiction and actual prefers Tolkien's silmarillion to hobbit and lotr is the narrative lead? I enjoyed Pillar's narrative well enough. 1
