quote:Gentleman: I have your letter of the 11th, in the nature of a petition to revoke my orders removing all the inhabitants from Atlanta. I have read it carefully, and give full credit to your statements of distress that will be occasioned, and yet shall not revoke my orders, because they were not designed to meet the humanities of the cause, but to prepare for the future struggles in which millions of good people outside of Atlanta have a deep interest. We must have peace, not only at Atlanta, but in all America. To secure this, we must stop the war that now desolates our once happy and favored country. To stop war, we must defeat the rebel armies which are arrayed against the laws and Constitution that all must respect and obey. To defeat those armies, we must prepare the way to reach them in their recesses, provided with the arms and instruments which enable us to accomplish our purpose. Now, I know the vindictive nature of our enemy, that we may have many years of military operations from this quarter; and, therefore, deem it wise and prudent to prepare in time. The use of Atlanta for warlike purposes in inconsistent with its character as a home for families. There will be no manufacturers, commerce, or agriculture here, for the maintenance of families, and sooner or later want will compel the inhabitants to go. Why not go now, when all the arrangements are completed for the transfer, instead of waiting till the plunging shot of contending armies will renew the scenes of the past month? Of course, I do not apprehend any such things at this moment, but you do not suppose this army will be here until the war is over. I cannot discuss this subject with you fairly, because I cannot impart to you what we propose to do, but I assert that our military plans make it necessary for the inhabitants to go away, and I can only renew my offer of services to make their exodus in any direction as easy and comfortable as possible. You see Sherman said he was going to burn Atlanta to the ground and he did because that's how you stop the same kind of poo poo happening in the future. Kinda like Bleak Walkers.

I'm not a smart man, which is obvious by my posting, but it didn't take me as long to figure out how to kill stuff good in PoE as some of these streamers. I'd say people aren't used to RTwP gameplay but we've got stuff like Inquisition and the original Dragon ages going on so that can't be right either.

I think maybe the give press copies to streamers to promote the game thing would work better if they didn't do it the day before Bloodborne one of the biggest releases in months came out so now all the big streamers are playing that / no one is watching PoE.

Firstborn posted:I'm wondering this, too. http://www.twitch.tv/theroguezombie/ This is the stream of Anthony Davis an Obsidian Developer. Now he hasn't worked on the game himself but he is quite familiar with RPG's in general, and has played the game before he started streaming this. He's not a "regular" twitch streamer so if banners, follower counts, donation comments and gimmicks annoy you those are also absent. He will probably not be streaming the game again today or tomorrow because he wants to play Bloodborne but you can have a look at his streams of the last 48 hours.

Seems to be working reasonably well (unfortunately because I hate streamers). It's in the top 3 sellers on steam right now and it ain't even out yet.

We have no idea how many copies that is actually moving and could very well be there isn't much being sold right now. I just want Obsidian to be free and make awesome games forever and not have to be guns for hire so I'm just being worried about stuff. God I want this game to sell good so bad.

If I understand this right, disengagement attacks just mean that if character A moves out of character B's danger zone, B gets to hit A with a free attack that hurts a lot? That seems pretty straightforward if so and helps tanks do their job.

As far as I'm concerned he only little gently caress up in all this is they should have released the Almanac/Manual/Soundtrack/Recipe book about a week before release. I hope one day they'll explain why they didn't do so.
