Put in my 30 bucks, we'll see what comes of it. This got me to check on my old pledge to double fine and for some reason that pledge didn't exist anymore. Maybe I did some kind of mistake when applying, but it's been added again.

Nurge posted:One thing to take into consideration is that amazon payments is bullshit and a good portion of the overseas folks (like myself) won't or can't back these, but will buy the game when it comes out. The difficulty of getting money into kickstarter funnily enough will translate into more sales once the games come out (but less money for development). What's so bad about amazon payment? Isn't it just adding a card option like most other paysites?

Quarex posted:This interview should be required reading for everyone everywhere. Why have none of the other interviews been this detailed?! Well, I'd guess because he didn't want to burn any bridges that early into the project. Most other developers are probably thinking along the same lines, but then again I'm not sure this is standard practice with all publishers. At least not in regards to VA work, the bug thing is pretty common.

RagingBoner posted:Data seems to show that it is new people, as the average donation has actually gone down from a few days ago: Predicting a final big spike the day after, with slowdown for a week or so until people scrounge up the cash they've been unable/unwilling to gather so far. And of course a Last Day Pledge spike. Should be enough to hit 2.1

If I were predicting (and so far my one crazy prediction did sort of come true regarding how donations would come in during particular days), I'd say the total would be someplace between 2.3 and 2.6 mil. You can't get me more specific than that though. And I make no promises if the guys suddenly decide to add some other content at promised goals met.

lordfrikk posted:Yeah I'm pretty disconcerted with some of the opinions voiced in that thread. I mean why does it matter how many people hop on the KS bandwagon? You can still buy your n-th franchise installment and it doesn't impede anything, quite on the contrary. Well, they're technically true, but only if you limit yourself to these current days and what disposable income people who have kickstarter accounts have already spent on other projects. I guess they're afraid of everyone being in the spot I'm in, which is that I've spent tons of money I really shouldn't on various other interesting ideas. Meaning those people wouldn't be able to justify spending something on yet another cool but uncertain idea. Which is where we'd differ, because how can I say no to more Shadowrun?

Then we turn to Tiberium, which will not only solve all our energy problems but monetary ones as well. Looking over my pledges now, trying to figure out which needs my money the most. This, so I can get my favorite game author onboard, or some of the many other projects I love. I know what Quarex would say, but how can I trust a man that has lived longer then the Wasteland?

Speedball posted:Well I had my head stuck in the sand and didn't even know there was a kickstarter project about this, right until I read that Cracked article and saw that great video saying "Please give me money, none of these producers will!" I've spent too much money this month already but $15 is better than nothing (and will get me the game in a year and a half when it comes out, so...) That's the spirit! Now to figure out which sites haven't yet been advertised on/exploited yet! In all honesty, besides some of the larger forums, Twitter and Facebook, and places like Cracked, where would you even find people who are interested at this point? Most gaming forums already know about this project, right? Edit: And I don't mind that the universe is moving forward, because it means there's a real sense of progression regarding stories you've partaken in. I can think of at least one more story to push things ahead at this point, and worst case scenario you can always explore stuff on the side.

If it hits 2.6 I will still be technically correct! Right up until it might pass by that level. We'll see if my next cash-infusion lets me store up some money for a rainy day/kickstarter. Already given more than I should on my budget though, and I might have to spread it around to other kickstarters I want to see done.

Fredrik1 posted:Does anybody have any idea how to in Highpool: start the generator? I fixed the water pressure but now I am lost. It may be some sort of weird beta bug going on, where you have to talk at the people in charge outside about the radio. Or you just have to keep flipping the switch after re-entering the place. I know I had the same issue, thought I had more to resolve. As for negative points, the aforementioned navigation issues (not being able to see what you ought to) and that the combat right now is very unbalanced (hopefully fixed by release). I really like the game, despite the flaws that are to be found in it and hope the polish afforded by the beta will make it shine. Edit: Oh, and that the AI can be sorta crap, but that is probably just another beta issue.

Drifter posted:So perception just seems to give extra XP when you interact with various things? Perceiving NPCs is a great source of XP. Except of course, when I realized that reloading a map meant whatever trigger was set for NPCs to have been perceived reset itself, meaning you could perceive all the NPCs all over again. Then it becomes an awesome source. Highpool (where all the juvies are alive) suddenly becomes a massive ball of XP even when you're done with the place, because you can just run into the cistern area, pop out again, run around perceiving and repeat until you're at any level you desire.

Otherwise it would be hard to tell that the thing was related to the questgiver, beside the initials. It shouldn't really matter, but as you guessed, beta bug. On another note, what level should you have charisma at? I'm not sure it has had most any effect on anything so far. Does leadership do anything in particular, either?

PirateBob posted:Maybe I'm a total retard, but could someone tell me what skill I need to use the radio towers? I have the repeaters. Also, is toaster repair worth putting a point in? How does the skill level affect its use? You don't need to use any skill, just set the repeaters to a quickslot and use it directly on the tower. As for toaster repair Not really. It gives you some cool extra loot in a few hidden locations but overall it is pretty useless, much like the original skill. Fun to use, especially when you find the more difficult to spot ones, but your points are better spent elsewhere.

Slo-Tek posted:Well, got a chance to poke around at this tonight, and wow is the fog of war mechanic annoying. Unless there is a lantern I'm missing, I very much won't be looking forward to doing highpool in the live...and it doesn't bode well for the rest of it. Well the "both" option is just you noticing that both places are being hit essentially at the same time and how suspicious that is in regards to your comms-security, it doesn't grant you the ability to do anything about it. Whichever place you decide to go for transforms the other spot into a new kind of level, meaning more content to enjoy in new playthroughs, so I'm fine with it. I'm presuming they'll try tweaking the FoW before the beta ends. Not that it is entirely awful but it has a ways to go. Edit: A question about the Rail Nomads Camp: What's going on with Hell Razor?

Mr. Lobe posted:Does anyone have a good sense of how one should distribute weapons skills among my starting peeps? Well Cha as far as I can tell hasn't been used much in the beta areas, that might change later on in the game, as with many skills and attributes. As in, getting int over 6 is fairly useless in the beta, but might get you access to some very useful skill-caps later on. I'd suggest two melee characters with different weapon skills, like bladed and blunt, and two of any ranged weapon skill that isn't handguns (at least in the beta, most handguns are kinda crap, their strength being in that you find tons of ammo for them). Some of the better assault and sniper rifles just tear stuff up like mad once you get past the initial offering (I'd actually advice just melee-ing the crap out of stuff until you get your first weapon upgrades because it is almost a waste of ammo with the poor damage some of the stuff you get does, unless you're in a bad spot or you feel it is worth the expenditure). As for the importance of stats, I MAY have seen some stats affecting skills in terms of lockpicking and the like to a noticeable degree. There are caps to certain skills tied to attributes (mostly intelligence) which you will run into if some stats are especially low. Skills are king, and for most of the beta you'll probably be ok with having lower attributes than might be useful in the actual game. Like people pointed out earlier, awareness is an important stat right now, even if it isn't tied into most skills and should be raised for every character by at least 3 points. A slight increase in speed is good for melee characters but not for ranged ones unless you move them from cover to cover a lot. You'll be fine with only a slight increase in coordination for most ranged characters, maybe 1-2 points. Luck is not super important and can be skipped for most characters except some melee builds. But yeah, dump Charisma all the way down (in the beta). Keep intelligence where it is at for characters that aren't skill-centric.

I've beaten some of my guys on purpose to test healing and I find it oddly refreshing healing isn't easy. What I don't understand is that like others have said, you travel long distances in map mode and you seem to heal less than just walking a few yards in regular mode (if at all). Is it a bug? or am I doing something wrong? It might just be a way to simulate hard marches not being good for health/healing, or simply a mechanic to keep you from regenerating your way through a mushroom cloud rad area. evilmiera fucked around with this message at 10:42 on Dec 20, 2013 |

Drifter posted:Fallout Tactics was a pretty boss loving game. I loved it. Fallout 2 is my favorite of those three, though. I couldn't ever get into F1. I played it after F2, however, so that may be a factor. Yeah, Fallout 2 was and is my absolute favorite of the bunch, Tactics was a neat tactical game in the Fallout universe, so exactly what it said on the tin. F1 just doesn't hold up to 2 by any stretch, though it isn't bad either. Xenonauts could use something to spice up some of the ground combat after the first few missions, but it isn't bad by any means. In fact, I'd say it is really, really good!
