41,787 most concurrent players on Steam for PoE

the highest concurrent player amount for Divinity: Original Sin was a paltry 21,953 in comparison.

To be fair, Divinity was very much a word of mouth hit. PoE has a much bigger built-in day one audience.

[red13th]

The game crashes when I try to enter the first city. So I only managed to play for like 30min? :/

 

[J Jizzle]

The priest spell Withdraw is horribly overpowered. Wonder if they will nerf it quickly to stop the invincible tanks from blocking doorways.

 

[Blargonaut]

Did the MSAA 0 command, turned Vsync off.

However, it's still just as choppy as I imagined it'd be. Totes a slideshow situation.


Paging Durante and/or GeDoSaTo users
casual questions imminent

I've never used GeDoSaTo before; is it possible to use GeDoSaTo to lower the resolution to something like 800x600?

Browsing through the thread, I've created a GeDoSaTo.ini for Pillars of Eternity using the following lines you've suggested to another GAFer-

clearRenderResolutions
renderResolution 800x600@60
forceAlwaysDownsamplingRes true
modifyGetCursorPos true

However, are these 4 the only lines I need to include in the ini?
Do I need any more lines from the main config/GeDoSaTo.ini to make this work (if such a thing is even possible)?

Currently, with my gibberling-tier GeDoSaTo settings, the game crashes instantaneously after clicking the shortcut

Just a bump, if anyone could kindly help

Shit gets so real after Cliaban Rilag. Game has a great story.

They're also crazy hard. The prison escapees and the dweller kicked the crap out of me. I've gone elsewhere to level up before trying them again.

There's a skull in the corner in the top left corner of the chapel. You should discover the eye switch in scout mode.

Kana will fulfill all his dreams of adventure by doing all my stronghold quests by himself at this rate.

 

[plenilune]

How do you deal with the spirits in Caed Nua? They stunlock my frontliners and have high defenses in everything it seems. What's their weakness? (playing on Hard)

 

[WetTreeLeaf]

I think out of all the voice acting for companions Durance is the weakest. I dont really like it honestly, but hes so damn useful, I keep him around.

 

[Taruranto]

I want to visit Rauatai, it sounds lovely.

Well, it certainly seems more interesting than the base setting. Hopefully a future-expansion will mix things up a-la MotB.

 

[Intheflorsh]

It's pretty weird that XP gains are logged under dialogue.

Durance sucks

 

[Atrophis]

I'm at the keep, and every door I go in results in a black screen. I need to kill the program to exit. Is this a common bug? Is there a workaround ?

I'm getting this when I try to exit the keep, doesn't matter which exit I take the game crashes. Going to have to wait for a patch because there is nothing I can do now

 

[bakerbakes]

So I've played around with a few different mains, but still having trouble picking one. Considering I want to play with the scripted characters on the first play through, is there any particular class you guys recommend?

Google it

You have to delete the 2 exterior Raedric files in the saved game.

It is a known issue

edit:

1. Open 7zip and go to C:\Users\USERNAME\Saved Games\Pillars of Eternity in 7zip

2. Open your savefile inside 7zip, in my case 49c623f3-dc4c-4eb7-be78-4e5f14755a5c quicksave.savegame, and delete all the files with Raedric in its name.

3. Open Pillars of Eternity and enjoy.

You don't have to delete all the raedric files, just the ext raedric files.

 

[Kylarean]

Anyone play on a Mac? How does it run.

I have a 2015 Mac pro, whatever the base config was in Feb (4gb ram, 128gb hdd)

Thanks!

I play on a 2010 MBP (i7 2.66Ghz, 8GB RAM, 330M) and it plays great.

 

[Zornack]

What character stat is checked to uncover the pink lootable stashes while in sneak mode? Is it perception? Mechanics?

I'm still really early in, ~6 hours, but the first two companion you get are a

wizard and a fighter (who is a great tank)

and the third is a

Spoiler

priest

, though I haven't quite gotten that one yet. I went cipher, which I'm having a blast with so far, she's doing a ton of damage and CC, and made a rogue and druid at the Inn. Druid so far is incredible, she's doing a ton of damage in cat form and has a bunch of per rest spells which are super good, while the rogue isn't quite pulling his weight yet, though I hear they do absurd damage later on. I'm not sure if you get a cipher, druid or rogue as a companion later on, though.

Can someone spoil for me when and how you trigger Aloth's personal quest? I have all my companions quests available from just talking to them, nothing for him yet though. Currently in Defiance Bay.

Anyone?

Really wanna go to that insane theocracy up north. Would be a lovely place for an expansion.

Durance sucks

I agree he is always low health for me like I will have 3 characters exit a battle with minor scratches.. Durance has like 5 hp left..

what am I doing wrong?

 

[Intheflorsh]

Man, without Durance's healing abilities I would be fucked. Play him as a ranged character.

They're logged under both.

Keep him in the way back applying buffs and healing.

Can confirm this works. Just found the reddit thread about it an hour ago and got it to work(both exterior and interior).

Just an FYI: it resets the "state" of the level(from what I've seen so far), so take care and use it in a "safe" spot/near where you actually want to go, otherwise you might end up in the middle of a group of bad guys you thought you cleared.

 

[WetTreeLeaf]

Put some heavy armor on him and give him a gun. I just have him as a healing fountain sitting behind my 3 tanks.

Edit: Also minor spoiler,

as soon as you enter the main City you can buy a pretty cheap ring that gives him 3 extra spell charges from one of the merchants in the trade quarter. Super useful.

I try to but it seems like when I have him attack someone he runs up to them like he's a melee fighter or something....

also what are his healing spells? I haven't been able to level him up since acquiring him are they starters? (I know he has his buffs and his endurance healing aura)

when you guys say healing do you mean endurance regeneration or actual health? I thought the only way to restore health in this game was through camping/staying at an Inn

His default weapon is a bostaff...do not use this at all. Like ever. Yeah endurance is essentially HP. Actual health is not really important in the heat of combat, only after. He should have minor endurance regen in both tiers I and II.

 

[WetTreeLeaf]

They mean endurance, no way to actually heal people's health from what Ive seen.

Yeah, just hand him a gun and sit him far back.

There is an ability you can get, and Kana had it for me, that does heal health. But it's not really useful.

There's one Paladin skill that heals health, but is limited to 1 use per rest.

He has a staff and a wand(?). Stick to using the wand and just pew-pew with the occasional heals/buffs.

I need to find a gun then.. still early because I restarted due to the equipment glitch.. I did the two sidequests in Gilded Vale (mother and blacksmith) and I'm on the 2nd floor of the temple of eoth now.. not sure if I should go to Caed Nua next or Raedric's Keep

 

[decoyplatypus]

Well, I found my first quest-breaking glitch. I hope that's all it is. It's in "The Parable of Wael."

Spoiler

I buried the scroll, and now I can't return to the House of Mysteries without it's inhabitants attacking on sight. Will I need to go back there for story reasons?

 

[WetTreeLeaf]

I need to find a gun then

You can just use his secondary weapon for now, it's a wand so it keeps him away from the fighting.

not sure if I should go to Caed Nua next or Raedric's Keep

Both places are pretty hard, you should consider making 1 adventurer at least to help you out.

 

[Burt]

Well, they certainly kept up the tradition of casters getting ridiculously OP late game. With a Wizard and Druid in the part, everyone pretty much just screens for them until the AOE has its way. You done me good early on, Ranger player-character, but your time to shine is over.

Also, on the bug front, I had some ogres cast plague of insects on my ranger's pet and the particle effect won't go away.
