Understated Ur-Drakon Sudanna Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I would assume that the forums have at least a couple other higher-level backers on them. What'd you add, if anything? Personally, I paid to add an NPC to the game: it's the servile with a flute, if you ever find him(unless that art gets reused, in which case he's one of the serviles with flutes). He's a moderately oblique reference to something obscure, hopefully in a classy kind of way. The new cockatrice-esque creation was also largely based on my suggestion, which I've not had sufficient chance to brag about yet.

Ineffable Wingbolt TriRodent Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 You put Ian Anderson into the game? Cool. (only flute player I could think of really quickly... is it standing on one leg?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall alhoon Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Actually, a servile with a flute gives color. It was a nice idea. Do you have any idea if he or she is in the demo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I backed an artifact, however changes in creations negate some of its effectiveness. Still I had fun using it in a few play throughs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenderfoot Thahd Geased Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Sudanna That's so cool. Is the cockatrice a creation that can be created by the player in game? I just tried the demo and it did not list the cockatrice as a creation I would be able to make. Is it like the ornk creation process in other Geneforge games?

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Both the cockatrice and ornk require finding their canisters just like all the other creations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila OmegaNecros Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 I added the Helix bracer. Its a nifty item that takes some exploration to make it do anything. Jeff didnt quite hit the vision i had when i first suggested it, but i do like how it turned out. Its main function is shared by another item so you have to choose one or the other really, but the other is really niche (and cool). I just wished it looked like a DNA strand >.< If you know where and how to get it's bonuses effectively it can be very good until you acquire better items for your setup. I know there are some items blatantly better for any melee focused user, as the Bracer is very much a generalist item with a slight bias towards creation heavy playthroughs. I dont know if there are many items for that slot that are amazing for magic users, i didnt may much attention since i was determined to use *MY* item the whole run. I hope i get the chance to add more items in the next 4 remakes, i want an entire line of Helix gear through all of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 I liked it as an Agent too since it helped with some other things. There are always other items for that slot that are better for some situations. I backed the Feisty Slap Gloves, but they take much longer to be useful and too many things negate melee Guardians being as effective as in the older games,.

Not exactly. *heh, heh, heh" Jeff came up with a different form of crafting than in his other games. Now stick your hand in and get a charge out of it.

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 from Seinfeld: (George double-dips a chip, and Timmy rushes over to him after seeing what he did) Timmy: What are you doing? George: What? Timmy: Did...did you just double-dip that chip? George: Excuse me? Timmy: You double-dipped the chip! George: Double-dipped? What are you talking about? Timmy: You dipped the chip, you took a bite, and you dipped again. George: So? Timmy: That's like putting your whole mouth right in the dip! From now on, when you take a chip, just take one dip and end it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila OmegaNecros Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 (edited) I havent gotten a chance to use the slap gloves. I made one playthrough as a shaper with my bracers, and i tried to do a guardian (twice, before and after the shaper) but got burnt out with how stupid hard it was on normal and i kept getting, repeatedly, series of misses that technically should have had a sub 1/10000 or less chance of occuring. At one low point i pulled a double quick action triple miss against an enemy with ~5 hp remaining 3 turns in a row and died. Im glad Jeff fixed that evasion bug, i knew something was wrong with accuracy as a guardian but i wasnt one who reported it. Ill probably wait for the full release to try again though. Also, artillas are OP, and im trying not to use them on a guardian run. Its difficult. Edited February 15, 2021 by OmegaNecros Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 I've played more guardians on torment then I want to remember because Jeff kept changing something. I'm the reason Jeff kept weakening guardian abilities after I was having it too easy. The evasion bug made it harder than it should, but you can get through with a few creations. Usually fyoras or cryoas work well enough. Battle creations just never last. Now I understand why I was doing better with area effect attacks instead of single target attacks. I was seeing the same types of misses that you did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 you stick your hand in, or your gloves? if this is in the demo, it's presumably discussable now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila OmegaNecros Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 (edited) You dip the item in, there are 2 items to dip. One i added, one Randomizer added. One pool should be in the demo. I know of 3 pools, dunno if more. An pool cant be used more than once though. And you get both items at the same time.

Ineffable Wingbolt Mechalibur Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Individual pools can't be used more than once, but the items themselves can be dipped in each pool once. As a result it makes the most sense to dip one of the items 4 times and ignore the other. They occupy the same slot anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ineffable Wingbolt Mechalibur Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I don't think that's correct? The earliest one is in Spoiler Pentil Woods which I'm pretty sure is well past the demo area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the usual stuff about essence and healing pools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Ah, I see. Well it sounds like one of them is completely melee oriented and one of them is more general with a lean towards shaping, so I guess that should be an easy choice for nearly every build.

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 The original demo was 17 zones and ended before the bridges. This demo is only 6 zones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
