kanisatha Posted November 8, 2017 Posted November 8, 2017 So Obsidian is teasing something new https://twitter.com/Obsidian/status/928109844665483265 Wonder if this is Tim Cain's project we've been hearing about Has to be. I sure hope it's something I'll want to play unlike with Tyranny.

smjjames Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 There's already a thread for the Onsidian game teaser thing guys.... Weird gun spark thing: https://twitter.com/jesawyer/status/928394240484286465?s=17[/size] Color and font tags don't work on URLs... Anyways, as the wolfgeist guy in the comments says, looks like an unique pistol or possibly San enchanted pistol, or an unique pistol with an enchantment on it. Cool effect though.

ghostwriter Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 Never liked the look of lashes on firearms in Poe 1... I think it would look much cooler if the guns looked normal, but when the bullet hits the enemy it created a small elemental explosion depending on the lash type. 4
DexGames Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 (edited) There's also a Livestream planned soon, they say it's about Fan Art but... Maybe it's where we'll hear about the Backer Beta, I surely hope so ! I'd rather not be too much hopeful, I'd set myself to disapointment if there's nothing but Fan Art. PS : Fan Art is Cool !

Lephys Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 Anyways, as the wolfgeist guy in the comments says, looks like an unique pistol or possibly San enchanted pistol, or an unique pistol with an enchantment on it. Cool effect though. It does look cool, but the gun weirdly lobs the spark at it. It would be cool if the animation matched up with the idea of a gunshot/bullet. I realize it's probably just not-tuned yet... dunno, though. I can't think of a weapon that would lob an elemental blast at anyone. Maybe a wand? But those still kind of launch it straight out, and they semi-homingly "fly" towards their target, like a magic missile, but not as fast and sporadically. Annnnnnnnnywho... 2 Should we not start with some Ipelagos, or at least some Greater Ipelagos, before tackling a named Arch Ipelago? 6_u

Enoch Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 (edited) https://twitter.com/jesawyer/status/928684611906842624 "the modal ability for quarterstaff gives you a deflection bonus. good for wizards who smack people from the back row and then get jumped by a rogue/shadow." https://twitter.com/jesawyer/status/928685078443470848 "they're also good for assassins who smack people in the head from stealth and then have to deal with the repercussions immediately after."

Yeah, electricity does a lot of things, but it's not exactly the kind of energy that lends itself to lobbing. I actually thought that was the reason why this was posted to begin with - it was a hilarious bug. 2 *** "The words of someone who feels ever more the ent among saplings when playing CRPGs" ***

I thought it was maybe initially one of those hand mortars, but I moved it slowly and saw that it looked more like a regular pistol.
Wellspring Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 Sassy. Some more flavor i suppose. These look great. I'm going to have to find an excuse to use that hunched pose. Maybe an Igor-like companion for my Bleak Walker. Hoping they add a cheerful or lighthearted pose at some point, maybe bouncing around a bit, etc.
Lephys Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 Haha. They showed the "sassy" pose on a Stag-shifted Druid, I think it was, a little while back? I think it was TOO sassy then, and it was hilarious seeing a half-man, half-stag stand in a sassy pose. Heh. Anywho, it's still fantastic. I kind of hope your idle stance conveys some sort of demeanor in dialogues/interactions. Not anything super potent, but stuff that makes people raise an eyebrow. "Hey, why are you all hunched like that, creeping around my chicken coop?" "I'm sorry! This is just how I walk!" Should we not start with some Ipelagos, or at least some Greater Ipelagos, before tackling a named Arch Ipelago? 6_u

draego Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 (edited) Rod - Blast: Slower Recovery, gain AoE around target. That is an interesting change. I wonder if wizards will no longer have this ability. This should open up build opportunities for other classes using Blast. Edited November 9, 2017 by draego 1
draego Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 Tmblr Question Translation: Horde all equipment. Dont sale anyting.
the_dog_days Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 My dream modal: Unarmed - Punch That Kills the Past: Slow Recovery, punch through time space continuum. 2
Lephys Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 That is an interesting change. I wonder if wizards will no longer have this ability. This should open up build opportunities for other classes using Blast. Good question. Honestly, if classes were to get abilities like this, I'm much more in favor of "here's an effect that gets added to your weapon/attack", rather than "here's an effect that gets added to (insert one weapon type here) attacks." I think "here's how Class X works" is always better than "Out of the things available to all classes, here's the one that Class X does/uses." I know that gets tricky with 11 classes, though. But, ideally, classes aren't defined by gear/role restrictions, but by mechanical dynamics and the dynamic utilization of equipment, roles, etc. Should we not start with some Ipelagos, or at least some Greater Ipelagos, before tackling a named Arch Ipelago? 6_u
MaxQuest Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 (edited) Rod - Blast: Slower Recovery, gain AoE around target. That is an interesting change. I wonder if wizards will no longer have this ability. This should open up build opportunities for other classes using Blast. Indeed it is. Previously rods had Blasts associated with them. And for example in PoE1: - blast damage: doesn't scale with main weapon's damage; doesn't generate focus. - weapon aoe damage: does scale with weapon's damage; does generate focus. Large Shield - The Wall: Can't Move, dramatically reduce incoming Ranged Deflection and Reflex Damage.From the wording I don't quite understand: - does it reduce Ranged Deflection, or - does it reduce damage that was targeting Ranged Deflection? Edit: missed the word 'incoming' before 'ranged deflection'. It's clear now. Mace - Rending Smash: Slower Recovery, reduce enemy Armor Rating.Love that. Can have few offtanks whose melee output is irrelevant, equip them with maces, and make it that real damage-dealers are above the [Pen minus AR] threshold.
