Tried launching the game on Steam and am getting a "cannot reach the game server" notification repeatedly. Any workaround?

Ok I found a workaround for anyone else who runs into this. Click "Next" which takes you to a debug webpage, copy the code to your clipboard and then paste it back in the bug report window that pops up. After you submit the bug report the game will launch.

I feel like I had this same issue with another Steam game recently where it would not launch until I sent the bug report.

Yeah because it just gives you a buff, and so far they all do the same but more, so stacking them would be meaningless.

it's the parental controls option, a pawn's moniker is basically the "please don't let my kid see someone named Arse Eater out in the wild" alternative

There's no parental controls option in the settings in this game though :confused:

I've also seen pawns names randomly switch to their monikers, and then revert back to their player given names after using a riftstone.

It was a funny oversight left-in moniker when the character creator & storage first launched and was hotfixed out less than a day later, but regardless, people got a bunch of them hard locked in early before it could get patched out.

I was wondering the same thing because I wanted to check to make sure. I didn't find an option mentioned anywhere either. The only thing I can think of is that I think the game asks you for your age at first start up.

So I had to google the quest for the masquerade; Went through the secret door, but the big doors are closed because the masquerade had ended. Will there be a new masquerade or am I borked?

Considering getting this on PS5 because of the server connection issue I've posted about. What's the consensus on game stability between Steam/PS5, better or worse?

If you have a 4000 series RTX card and an otherwise beefy computer, it runs great after fiddling with some settings. Plus using the mod mentioned recently. I've never had any crashes or bugs.

Definitely way better performance than you'd get on PS5.

With an RTX 4070, 32gb RAM and an i7 8700k I'm getting anywhere from 80-120 FPS in wilderness areas at mostly max settings and raytracing on. Looks amazing, but FPS does drop quite a bit in towns.

Wilderness FPS seems to mostly depend on how close you are to a town. Once you get away from them I'm mostly in the 100+ FPS range.

5800X3D CPU with a 3080 GPU. Latest drivers. 1080p. DLSS off, dynamic res ON, most everything else on high.

Performance has been absolutely fine, usually at or above 60 fps, with some small hitches in the city that do not matter to me at all, and almost don't even register unless I'm looking for them.

There's a masquerade almost every night, you can tell by speaking to the guard in front. If he says there isn't one then go down to the bench and doze off until it's the next night.

fakeedit: actually you can't? the really primo stuff they must not let ya pawn-mission, no portcrystal or ferrystone (though you CAN put up the fake partcrystal and ferristone haha), no goldbugs, no sorc quest tomes, etc

I've actually made a bunch of money hiring free pawns with high rewards for quests, I think that might be the secret to making a heap of RC this time

Look at the augments each class can learn on the vocation change screen and decide what if any of them you'd like on your pawn - you can equip augments learned as one class onto any other class.

Woof, the power jump going from Their to Mystic Spearmen was intense. Losing double jump does not feel okay and I swear the whole class moves slower even if I empty inventory.

I'm also broke as hell in beast city, couldn't rest at the inn because it's 9999, I thought maybe the innkeeper was racist like the racists who kept beating me up and killing me on low HP in a 3 v 1. So I sold a bunch a stuff to scrape together enough to buy a beast mask and the innkeeper had the same price, he was just nicer to me. Had to go find a campsite out of town that had NPCs to kill the enemies bc everyone is too low HP to do it themselves lol. Finally rested and now I'm out here fighting with level 1 mystic spearman skills and it feels so rough lol. Plus have no mage.

I'm still gonna try multiple vocations but it seems to me it'll be hard to beat the thief main + mage pawn combo. Doesn't help I'm broke as a joke and can't upgrade or buy better gear.

My fault for coming here to see an art show dozens of story quests early.

I still have not seen the art show bc the racists keep killing me, I'll try again now that I've got a few pups of mystic spearman.

lmao, Donavan says (minor early sidequest) the caravan reached its destination safe and sound. Not true! It was completely destroyed by that Gryphon! I then ran half the way to Melvw before encountering a different oxcart which I took the rest of the way. This makes me think the Gryphon maybe wasn't a scripted part of that side quest.

generally speaking I think people eventually figure out the one class they REALLY like and mostly play that, but like someone said you can equip augments from any class so it's good to max out as many as you can. There's also NG+ so you can always wait and do it then, or do whatever you want.

My caravan was destroyed by a gryphon and I reloaded and it was destroyed again but we killed the gryphon. I just kept walking and hopped on another caravan without paying and it was destroyed by something else.

In any case, when you get there he is happy nothing was destroyed.

The oxcart business is tough, if one out of every ten carts makes it to the destination they call it perfect safety record. Kind of how a tic tac can claim to be sugar free despite being made of sugar.

I think I hosed up playing archer first because I unlocked the darth maul class and I did not like doing melee at all, so I am now back to being an archer after 4 or so levels in mystic spear.

e: does anyone know if ring effects can stack? I got a ring that makes stuff take more damage from my arrows the closer I am to them, and then I found one in a chest as well.

Knowing myself I will probably switch every 10 levels or so with some long streaks in between for my favourite classes.

Goons, i need your honest take on this game.

I have a lot of issue with it being $70 USD so ill be holding off until its on discount but is it actually fun? I've watched reviews from the likes of IGN to Gamespot to online personas that seem to say it's a "hands down GOTY contender" but any stream or video I pull up seems...incredibly dull.

Now, I am a fan of the first, and had the original on my 360 and even got the Dark Arisen on my steam, so I know what to expect but still.. I just can't justify the cost for a game that seems so...mirthless? I'm sure everyone else in here is going to say its great but what about it is captivating you to pick up and play?
