[Nyteshade517]

Has anyone that checked out the leak commented on mouse/keyboard? I am trying to decide between Magick Archer and Mystic Knight. If the m/k setup is solid I will probably go archer since aiming won't be a chore.

I think people have said KB+M works well...pretty sure it's been mentioned a couple times in here or other threads

 

[Mifec]

Which song should be replaced by Space Jam?

You should just replace all the music with Forces.

 

[Morrigan Stark]

The only song I might replace is the one for the [BBI spoilers]

Spoiler

Daimon fight

, it's ridiculously anti-climatic in a game with an otherwise excellent soundtrack.

I have no objections.

just booted steam and it's downloading something. are preloads patched or is it downloading new files or seomthing?

maybe they removed the Berserk armor

 

[EatinOlives]

This game's autosave system is perhaps the most useless I've ever experienced in a game. Holy crap please remember to manually save. All the time.

Apparently things like hiring pawns and defeating giant monsters don't qualify as enough of an event to trigger an auto save.

For the longest time I didn't know you could manually save. I thought not being able to save at all until you got to a settlement was part of the game, so imagine my frustration of constantly losing 20-30 minutes worth of trekking in the wilderness because a chimera kept eating my face. I was seriously starting to consider dropping the game until I found the option in the Pause Screen >_<

Too used to consoles doing auto-save man...

no, i experienced it yesterday and the day before. However, that would be pointless, the game is out in the wild, i think the mod is ready to go.

Unless it's actually downloading anything and not 0 bytes, I think that's just how steam treats preloaded games.

okay. i think this was my first pre-loaded game, so i wasn't aware of the behavior

Early release

[Mechazawa]

I don't know where you'd plug in Forces, but the Sign song from the PS2 game is begging to be used for some kind of boss battle.

Forces can be the general overworld theme.

People have, and they say the M&K controls are the best they've seen in a japanese game.

Great, thanks for the info! Really looking forward to this bad boy in a couple days.

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

Damnit. I keep expecting the game to be released tomorrow. I'm off Wednesday to Friday and I was hoping to play it on my off days.

I distinctly remember being able to launch Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition on Steam with "game will unlock in 12 hours" still on the clock. That might have just been a one-time glitch, but I keep hoping.

I seriously doubt they'll push back the decryption window like that.

Valve plsss

NinjaEdit: Then again, Dragonball Xenoverse released a good 5-10 hours early (with no warning). That really was the best.

How do save files work in this game, I heard it only lets you have one? Anyone know if I can make copies to get around that?

Yeah you can. Probably need to disable steam cloud sync.

It might screw up your pawn syncs a bit, that was the reason they gave for not allowing multiple slots.

Yeah, we can only hope. The rest of that Dark Souls port was so rough it might not have been surprising to see an early release. But I doubt that will happen again.

Yes, one save file only (yet again), disappointing.
It has something to do with the pawns system, as I've read.

 

[Nyteshade517]

I never really go buy the release time until at least the day before. There have been many times recently where the time gets adjusted a lot closer to the release date. Right now it seems like it'll be a 1 PM Eastern unlock time on Friday. I'm hoping for at least a midnight release but it's just wait and see.

More sweetfx presets have popped up on sfx website.

I'm liking those. Would they be demanding for a weaker PC?

It all depends on each presets, how many effects they have. On average, it's ranging between 1-10 fps hit at most.
It's easy to turn it on/off in-game by pressing scroll-lock so it would't hurt to try, or wait for impressions.

Cool. I never used those filter/shader things so I'm tempted to try it this time.

Anything been mentioned about SLI support?

I assume SLI 980's should be able to get 100+ fps @ 1440p at all times assuming there's an SLI profile.

Is there a site where you can get configurations for good looking characters and pawns?

 

[Cyrano]

If someone who is very familiar with this game and is willing to be a kind Samaritan. Please message me, I'd like some help and input with a minmax build before the game come out.

Thank you.

Here are your min/max options.
For max MATK - Mage from 1-10, Sorcerer from 10-200.
For max ATK - Fighter from 1-10, Assassin from 10-200.
For Max HP - Fighter from 1-10, Warrior from 10-100, Mystic Knight from 100-200.
For Max Stamina - Strider from 1-10, Ranger from 10-100, Assassin from 100-200.

There you go.

Defense stats are worthless and mostly determined by your gear. Better to have resistances to debuffs and negative battlefield effects than high defense.

I wouldn't really recommend doing this.

how difficult is the gameplay?

It becomes considerably easier after you level up a bit and get some upgraded gear. Starts out a bit tough.

you farm him for loot

but...It's so good that first time

 

[unknownhero]

so, how do I mod in music for this game?

 

[Corpekata]

how difficult is the gameplay?

It can start rough, it's fairly easy to wander into areas and quests where you're going to get creamed. But if you're not stubborn, you can turn tail and seek out other challenges.

I agree ... somewhat. Listening to it the first time was a nice experience, but after a dozen times or so, it became something I completely tuned out.

Think I'll change the track to this.

Does anyone have any idea where the save files are located? I'd like to make a copy of mine just in case and I can't find them anywhere.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Game is still #1 on Steam...noice!

 

[LurkerPrime]

Movement speed-wise, what is the fastest class? Assassin?
...Or would it be based on bodytype (I guess "super tall")?

 

[Stiler]

Is there a guide for making the characters different sizes/weights that affect them? Like "x" leg size = this speed" and so on?

Both presets look good. That's the one thing that I always disliked about the game on consoles. It was far too washed out. I just need a bit more color in the day time. Nights were mostly fine.

99% of the world doesn't currently have it because it hasn't officially released lmao

Your base speed depends on your physical build, as well as how much you are carrying on you. Assassin can get a skill that makes you move faster.

I know, I was just hoping someone would know where it was so that when it does release I can (hopefully) transfer my save over. I managed to find it though thanks to Croxton.
