Pillars of Eternity Beta Discussion [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Sensuki]

Bring up Task Manager, leave it up.
Run PoE. Get in game. Make a note of the memory usage in Task Manager for PoE. (If you have a second monitor, putting the Task Manager on that second monitor can help a lot).
Wait for a period of time without doing anything in game.
Check the memory usage again in Task Manager and compare it to what it was before.

If the memory is substantially higher the second time, there may be a leak.

I found exactly what causes the FPS drop, it's when you move a character in the formation menu. The FPS drops and never comes back. It's not a memory leak.

I will pass that on. I hope that's enough.

It has more developed content than the inXile beta though

Thank you, I also passed it on to Brandon.

Is that Disneyland in the background?

 

[Sensuki]

HAHAHAHAHAH

 

[poetic codex]

Ok, so I replayed as a chanter, and I must say, combat was a lot more interesting, and the invocations do indeed feel more active. The game has promise after all

 

[Jezal_k23]

HAHAHAHAHAH

WE HAVE CHOSEN SUICIDE

 

[Hormalakh]

I feel like the suicide option should be there in some way.

Hohe Domkirche St. Petrus

Combat is a custerfluck, more than in IE games.

And yes, chanters are really overpowered, after the first battle with beetles I was walking with an army of skeletons, playing like I would play an RTS.

Incidentally, my party army could not enter the ogre's cave, even when they were all stacked as close as possible at the entrance.

Balanced Attributes:

My Will Defense isn't very good though, but if I was a different class it would be.

 

[holla_cabezas_de_mierda]

I am going to love this game way more than D:OS I can tell. Don't like some of Josh Sawyers Ideas, but the tone, art, style etc of this game is right where I like it. How long until its released like NOV or something? fuck..

 

[Sensuki]

At this stage probably further away than that.

 

[Bubbles]

It's Winter 2014, so logically on the 22nd or 23rd of December.

 

[imweasel]

Saw this floating around the internets.

 

[Anthony Davis]

HAHAHAHAHAH

You could do that in all of the IE games. I cannot tell you how many times I tried to kill Jaheria.

 

[Raghar]

So how is gameplay and story?
Is story better than Dorohedoro?

 

[poetic codex]

did you try the slow button? its quite handy for when things become too crowded and hectic (aka a clusterfuck). perhaps they can increase the speed a bit, but so far i think i'm using the slow button instead of spamming the pause button.

 

[Jezal_k23]

HAHAHAHAHAH

Each character is targeting him or herself in the video.

EVEN BETTER.

 

[Crooked Bee]

It's not a bug, it's a feature.

Why did they make her look like the average tumblr user?

They are attacking themselves. You character can't attack himself/herself in the IE games. You can attack other party members though.
