Fantastic OT Shinobi, really great job!!!

[Dmax3901]

So how many hours until the soonest VPN unlock?

 

[LProtag]

I am really leaning towards Knight Enchanter... but Tempest seems kinda interesting too.

 

[Augustus McCrae]

Amazing OT.

 

[Sou Da]

So how many hours until the soonest VPN unlock?

14 hours I think

Still need some help on this, don't know why the preload option isn't there.

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

Will be interested to hear reactions from people on this, as I'm definitely not sold yet.

All this Knight Enchanter talk is super tempting.

But no. I'm I've gotta roll with my sword & shield warrior.

 

[LX_Theo]

Amazing OT. Love it.

 

[SocksAndShoes]

Fantastic OT.

Hype is at maximum.

 

[DylanTackoor]

Is there going to be a thread dedicated to multiplayer groups or would that even be necessary?

 

[Pandora012]

Can't wait to roll out my Elf Assassin.

 

[Lulubop]

if you mean knight enchanter, it's arguably the best mage specialization due to the skills and because you can go melee

Yea, Enchanter. Definitely rolling that.

 

[Tovarisc]

What're the cheapest means of acquiring a PC version at this current point in time?

I'd like to know as well.

Origin Mexico, after that G2A or G2Play.

Yeah my friend is using a VPN and she gets this, what's going wrong?

Looks to me that VPN isn't connecting properly if she is American. If she is European then tell her to hook into South Korea.

Edit: Ah preload missing. Is her payment finalised and billed from her account? That has been reason for few as to why preload wasn't available.

So how many hours until the soonest VPN unlock?

~12 hours, 11h 45min to be precise.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

i want to buy it tuesday but there are too many games out this week. we'll see!

 

[Timeaisis]

Incredible OT! Cannot wait!

 

[texhnolyze]

Can a Knight Enchanter wear plate armor?
I'm kinda interested on the class, but I'm more plate armors lover than clothes.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Preloaded fully on PS4, ready to rock.

 

[bbd23]

god damnnnnnnnn assassin or tempest

I just dont know anymore!

 

[shoplifter]

Played this for about an hour and a half via Access and I'm just not feeling it. I want to love it but it's just not happening yet.

if I understand how the system in this game works it probably can but but the skills/status that gives aren't made for mages. So you'd have a weak mage.

 

[Anko]

So, pretty much Asia gets it earliest? SG is getting it at that time too.
For once, we're getting some love.

 

[Vamphuntr]

Anyone has a link for the skill trees for the specializations?

 

[Last Hearth]

Since I intend to romance Cassandra in my first playthrough, going to watch Dawn of the Seeker tonight to get to know her character better.

It helps that they are from the future.

I think so. Not anything you pick up, but I think there are schematics that'll allow you to craft something that looks like plate armor that'll be useful for a mage.

 

[Piecake]

Exact two specializations that I am debating. Leaning slightly towards Enchanter

She ordered it day one, money came off her account. Any other idea?

EDIT: Scratch that it is processing.

I used SoftEther and had to choose a Korean VPN with UDP support. Hope that helps in some way!

 

[MartyStu]

Tempest and Artificier are both looking mighty nice.

I need gameplay of both in order to make a decision. Anyone have some?

 

[Naughty_Doge]

No long hairstyles is a disappointment.

I'll probably play as a male because of that.

 

[Sou Da]

If the payment is still processing for her, would the best option be to let the UK preload happen naturally and then unlock it with the VPN?

 

[Face it Tiger..]

G2A says this game is $30 in Russia? can I use that here in NA?

EDIT: so origin russia has it for 38 bucks. eh. not impulse buy enough.

 

[Ashodin]

You can't have your hair down in combat, it's a liability!

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

You displease me with this disrespectful OT subtitle, Shinobi.

 

[Sou Da]

But there are long hairstyles.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

You took that negatively where I took it as wishful, that making all around good / cool and optimised hairstyles was easy.

Not long ago I read dev post, can't remember where , about why hairstyles often are "less than glorious" in games. Especially when compared to mods. Boiled down to how modders have infinite time to tweak their designs with no regard to optimisation where during development of games devs have finite time per area/task and worry about optimisation.

The same for a game I was playing. I can even find the post.

Although the hair looks great in a 2D drawing it is near impossible to achieve that in game. First off it lays over her shoulders, we cannot do that unless we build the hair laying on the shoulders and then hair will always remain on the shoulders thus clipping will happen with all animations.

To make decent hair you need a lot of poly's and it has to be modeled in such a way so the rigger can rig the hair to bones since we have very little dynamics for the hair. The closest to that we have would be Black Widow's Thunderbolts hair.

As for all this model I do not know which ref the character Artist used but again it was approved by Marvel and no matter what the Artist may have come up with their intention was NOT to make everyone mad or to displease everyone, and not everybody is going to be satisfied.

Just putting in my 2 cents.p

 

[Squire]

Is there going to be a thread dedicated to multiplayer groups or would that even be necessary?

Mass Effect 3 MP had one. I suppose it depends on if the MP is as supported and popular as that was, but it's not unprecedented.

 

[Tovarisc]

EDIT: Scratch that it is processing.

According some reports, via Reddit, preload won't come available before order status is "Completed". Hope it clears out for her asap so she can jump in.

If the payment is still processing for her, would the best option be to let the UK preload happen naturally and then unlock it with the VPN?

I would say so yes. UK preload isn't far out and after that she can unlock via VPN any time she wants to.

 

[DavionStriker]

Wow. Awesome OT Shinobi. My body is ready

 

[Ketch]

In the review thread they were talking about a 6 hour preview version. How do I do that? and does the progress carry over?

 

[Asbear]

Why do I have to wait 3 more days than you guys in the US? Why do you tease me so!?

 

[Admiral Woofington]

In the review thread they were talking about a 6 hour preview version. How do I do that? and does the progress carry over?

Xbone and EA Access.

I see. So there's no some kind of armor appearance transmute system in the game?
I hope I can alter clothes armor stats into a plate armor stats.
Fair enough then, perhaps I'll try the class out on my second playthrough.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

Templar or Reaver? Hmmm...

 

[Marauder Shields]

Thank you based South Korean VPN for this gift I'm about to receive.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

Lately I've been worried my PC won't be able to run this game ok. I don't have BF4 to mess with, run BF3 great. I think I'll be ok but all this waiting watching paint dry pretty much is making me think strange things. Heck if it doesn't run ok it will finally give me a reason to go Intel and get rid of this stupid motherboard.

 

[Pandora012]

Yeah that is a disappointment. I'll have to adjust, I guess.

 

[t-ramp]

Origin automatically verifies files before it finishes a download, right? I don't want to find out that something is messed up with my pre-load when I go to start the game tomorrow night...

 

[Squire]

In the review thread they were talking about a 6 hour preview version. How do I do that? and does the progress carry over?

It's available to EA Access subscribers on Xbox One. Progress does carry over. They actually make you download the entire game, although you can start your six hour trial long before the DL completes.

 

[Ketch]

xbox only? bummer

 

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

This OT is amazing! Loving it! I can't wait to finish this game where I left off! Tuesday is massive.
