Skull piles for me

wraith jasper
Skull piles are a bit op imo
brisk trail
god i hate brimstones
atomic kelp
brimstones sucked at first but I got used to them, multiple skull piles on different parts of the map are the worst thing imo
brisk trail
or those stupid blue once in the second area
gloomy hull
hello
gloomy hull
how come i cant install Hades? i bought it
wraith jasper
Skull piles just. Do. Not. STOP.
graceful storm
^^^
wraith jasper
and all the skullsstay alive
graceful storm
target those suckers early
wraith jasper
;_;
atomic kelp
as much as I hate skull piles I think from a design standpoint they're a really cool enemy
plain musk
Yeah
atomic kelp
since they force you to play aggressive
wraith jasper
Brimstone has its trick, but skull piles are just blegh
graceful storm
is there a wikia for this game yet?
i make discord bots and would love to try making a wikia bot for this game
winter cobalt
@gloomy hull I hear a lot of people are having the same problem. If you ask in the hades tech support channel I’m sure one of the devs (or someone who’s had the same problem) could help you :^)
pastel coral
They have just announced the game less than 24 hours ago XD
No, they don't have a wiki bot yet as far as I know
gloomy hull
@winter cobalt where can i contact them?
finite valley
reading shower thoughts
`The guy who wrote the “Percy Jackson” series was basically writing fanfiction about Greek mythology.
`
Is this Hades?
just another fanfiction?
real wolf
When are the NSFW Zagreus x Achilles erotica coming? That's how we will know.
peak berry
man i suck at fighting those fat ghosts
tribal spruce
I'm enjoying the shield. Personal favorite of the weapons available so far.
winter cobalt
@gloomy hull the tech support channel is two channels underneath this one. All you need to do is post your problem there
tribal spruce
Tubby goblet bois are frustrating, yeah.
gloomy hull
copy that
real wolf
I hate those ghosts.
alpine stratus
not in this server, but damn will i have my eyes open for zagchilles 👀 👀
warm laurel
two skeleton bros are sure possible to beat but damn I have to kite for like 5 minutes every time
brisk trail
yes
winter cobalt
Mood but I feel more of a friendship between them. 😤 I may just need to get farther to get that bromance
real wolf
I want to see the side adventure crossover event with Falcon Ron and Skelly as they try to rebuild the Bastion.
weak elm
atomic kelp
Yeah, as much as the olympian gods are actually Zag's aunts and uncles, Achilles feels more like an uncle to him to me
so not here for that ship
graceful storm
Is there word on when creation of a wiki will be started? @pastel coral
pastel coral
@vestal lodge You are probably more suited to answer this, since you are part of the dev team and I am just new
vestal lodge
@graceful storm We typically don't do that ourselves!
Sooooo.... as soon as a motivated individual starts one up ❤
alpine stratus
hfjdjf oh no i hope achilles isnt really his uncle 😱 i see them as on even-footing
real wolf
"Footing" . . . nice Achilles joke.
pastel coral
I can see before me kamila wanting to make Hades and Achilles fan art
alpine stratus
Hes a hero, not a god, so i didnt think they were related hfhfh
BA DUM TSSS
atomic kelp
oh, no, I don't think he's literally an uncle, that's just the vibe I got from the relationship
alpine stratus
.....PROBABLY,
HE GIVES ME TARIQ VIBES BC HIS VOICE OK
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh oh i get it!!
real wolf
He is definitely 'mentor' material.
However, that makes him primed for a second act death.
alpine stratus
😱 😱 😱 😱 😱
pastel coral
Don't tear out her heart like that @real wolf
atomic kelp
Achilles and Nyx feel like the positive adult influences in Zag's life
Hades is Hades, and I do not trust the Olympians atm
brazen lake
55% done on my download
real wolf
Idk. I feel like Aphrodite is TOTALLY trustworthy.
atomic kelp
lmao
real wolf
Not shady whatsoever
brazen lake
loving my <1mb/s download speed rn
brisk trail
i just like her 
sacred nymph
does anyone have a full size image of Zagreus, I need it for drawing reference.
Everything online is only to the knees.
real wolf
Oh, I definitely like her. But it is definitely not a conscious choice.
brazen lake
ive been told there are 20 or so characters in hades. are they all available to talk to in this build of the game?
tulip wyvern
I just noticed the trailer says "from the creators of bastion & transistor"
broken dragon
Anyone know why Epic Games Launcher won't let me install the game? :S
tulip wyvern
you forgot a game, my dudes.
brazen lake
pyre
real wolf
20 fully-voiced characters!
broken dragon
Literally click install and it just flashes back to saying install
brazen lake
i guess its just because pyre is much more different from those other games
bastion and transistor have similar combat to hades
pyre
not so much
atomic kelp
I feel like Pyre is talked about less as well
brisk trail
yeah
atomic kelp
which is sorta sad, personally my favorite
brazen lake
same here
brisk trail
pyre is a niche game anyways
rough ivy
I love pyre tho
brisk trail
i love the game like its my game of the year for every year
brazen lake
i personally believe that pyre had the best narrative of the three games released so far
tulip wyvern
brazen lake
"several people are typing"
atomic kelp
All of them have really great stories, but the two things that set Pyre apart for me are the extent to which they use mechanics for storytelling, and the depth of the worldbuilding
ornate oak
Yeah.
brazen lake
alpine stratus
oh for sure, bastion and transistor are great games but pyre is my HEART my LIFE!!!!
pastel coral
Playing Bastian, Transistor and Pyre will show that the team learned over their years in terms of developing and telling a narrative with the gameplay
tulip wyvern
furious clickety clack
real wolf
I still have a place in my heart for Bastion. Something special about it made it stick to me the longest.
ornate oak
Also, have you seen those crystalls in Hades?
tulip wyvern
I suspect the only reason they left Pyre out is so they wouldn't have to deal with the oxford comma
atomic kelp
Bastion has some of the single most emotional moments for me of any of the games
it's honestly a hard choice between that and Pyre
(though I still love Transistor)
real wolf
@atomic kelp 100% agree.
tulip wyvern
on the one hand you have people calling them stuck up for using it. On the other hand you have champions of correct grammar calling them out for not using it.
ornate oak
Whenever they attack, I expect Sandra to come out and Forbidden Knowledge to play.
alpine stratus
hhhhh the scene that gets me most in basion is the walk through all the dead as rucks lists their names
ornate oak
That damn sound effect
frigid axle
Installing 😃
ornate oak
How does one change the name in this exact room?
Not my regular nickname, but local one?
atomic kelp
if you're on the computer right click your name just above your message
pastel coral
Not sure you are able to
tulip wyvern
Is such a thing even possible?
atomic kelp
and there'll be a change nickname option
fleet roost
tempest strike and flurry blade is a devastating combination
ornate oak
Oh. It's on PC.
broken dragon
Anyone else having trouble installing? I click install in the updated Epic Games Store and it doesn't do anything :/
pastel coral
Not sure the permissions for it are set up for regular users
fleet roost
wall splat damage through the roof
pastel coral
(You can do it on mobile as well, but the server still needs to give you permission to do so)
atomic kelp
I can do it
honest pollen
OMG I LOVE THIS GAME ART STYLE!
pastel coral
In that case @ornate oak
- Hold on your name
- Click Manage User
- Fill inn Nickname where you can do that
- Save and you are done
ornate oak
I'm not exactly rich right now. Even with Russian discount (900 roubles or about 13.5 dollah) it's still a tad expensive for me.
Guess I'll buy it after New Year.
atomic kelp
I feel like the rooms can get a little repetitive so I hope there's more visual stuff planned, but I absolutely love the look of everything in Hades palace
ornate oak
I might have some extra personal money.
atomic kelp
and the characters
ornate oak
There we go.
pastel coral
There you go ^-^
pastel coral
No worries, happy to help ^-^
ornate oak
Don't know how I got "Incorporated" into my nickname, but it doesn't really matter.
pastel coral
It works :P
atomic kelp
So does anyone use cast a lot?
just kinda curious what it's utility is for most people because I don't tend to do much with it so far
grand field
i dont
so far ive got the bow and i try and get aphrodites blessings
never relly use my cast
slate ivy
I mostly only used cast with one of the Ares gifts that made it into the spinning blade deal or when you get the second charge of it to do kinda chip damage to witches/brimstones
modest dirge
i really like cast + artemis so it aims automatically for me 
hexed smelt
i barely ever use cast
frosty rivet
that zeus bounce tho
grand field
the bomb enemies are hella hard though ive reached them twice but god are rhey hard to beat
hexed smelt
if i talk to dusa and she flies away does that mean i can't give her a gift :c
chilly stump
Unfortunately not this time around! Maybe she'll be hanging out after your next death. 😄
frosty rivet
Until you your next trip to the house yep!
modest dirge
wrangle her in with a rope like a cowboy and say YEE HAW, THIS IS RED DEAD REDEMPTION
gilded crest
THE SNAKE IS SO REALISTIC
atomic kelp
Once you get the shield the bomb enemies are a piece of cake imo
just charge back and forth for a bit
toxic tangle
fleet roost
97 unique conversation until i learn more about achilles?! is that a stand-in? because thats.. alot of unique dialogue
toxic tangle
oihhh the hype
brisk trail
Does anyone know if Hades has ultrawide support?
oblique tulip
no its not available in korea
winter cobalt
F 😔
toxic tangle
F
brisk trail
works for me as long as i dont have to play in windowed
hexed smelt
cool pillarbox art?? aw man, i wanna see but i have no ultrawide :c
brazen lake
@brisk trail unrelated but im gonna need the source for that desolator crystal maiden profile picture
brisk trail
it was posted on r/dota2 sometime last year i think
vestal lodge
If it's acting weird... let us know!
remote yacht
Does anyone know how far the game goes at the moment? 😃
winter cobalt
I’m bad at these types of games so I only know of the first part
oblique tulip
It is strange though if i access the website by VPN, It is prefectly translated in Korean
I just guess I can play this game soon?
just hope
remote yacht
I've got out of tartarus once It's super fun!- I thought we'd have to wait until 2020 for the next supergiant game 
rigid fog
Thank you Supergiant, it's a great fun game so far!
brazen lake
download is finally done 
real wolf
Welcome to the party @brazen lake!
sacred nymph
It’s a shame i won’t be able to play until MS returns my computer.
hoary veldt
I have it downloaded I just need to get home aaaaaaaaaaa
graceful storm
is anyone working toward the creation of a wiki?
vestal lodge
Hey all! I just added a #h1-builds-and-combat channel so people can discuss that stuff in more specific detail without talking through more general chat 😄
toxic tangle
winter cobalt
ngl big hate for the dudes who dash at you
covert zephyr
mighty stratus
i would say so, there is a fair bit to do
silent raft
Yeah, from what I've seen, you're not getting a 'bare-bones', pre-alpha kind of experience. Obviously there are bugs, but it's already a reasonably-polished game
Plus, the Supergiants are listening to feedback
brisk trail
https://i.imgur.com/MlI7nfC.jpg For those who wonder what ultrawide gameplay looks like
pastel coral
Nice touch
vestal lodge
😍
silent raft
These skull guys look vaguely concerned
Like they're your mum after you've just sworn for the first time
This is a Pagan server you guys

New Patch available! Notes in #hades-patch-notes
pastel coral
"Oh no, you are going to die again"
buoyant plank
God darn meg is hard
chilly vine
what item is best to use so far
sudden zinc
after i got it to work i am quite enjoying it! its very nice and cute! played only bastion before as transistor deals with some heavy themes and i think this game will be excellent
brisk trail
has anyone gotten passed the second stage
sacred nymph
If you can’t no bigs.
Hey @vestal lodge while you’re here quick question: can I get a full body pic of the protag? None of the pictures on the internet show the knee down and I’m drawing full-size.
brisk trail
this game is so addictive lol
vivid spoke
So I know this is very early to ask this, but do you think they will have any type of account transfer once it releases on consoles?
I’m gonna get it on PS4 regardless when it comes out, but if there is account transfer, that jumbles it better
cobalt lava
I don't think so, never happened with any of the other games which sucks but yeah I won't be able to play it until it gets to PS4 as well so I feel your pain man. :P
pastel coral
I think you will be able to transfer it over to a different PC install, but transferring it to PS4 or any other consoles will probably be hard, and not likely
chilly vine
would be sick if it was ported to the switch
pastel coral
It will be ported to other platforms once the game is released (like with other Supergiant games), but Early Access is only on PC and Epic Games store
So if the Switch is still popular and a modern console at the time of the release it is highly likely that it is released there
hasty torrent
i think it is being imported to switch eventually
a few articles say so but i guess its a 'wait and see incase they change their minds' deal
pastel coral
It is more of a "We will port it, but when we are done with the game" sort of deal @hasty torrent
hasty torrent
yeh suppose so
vestal lodge
@sacred nymph Not sure if we have one handy... I will ask around!
wraith jasper
What exactly cause darkness thirst to proc?
sacred nymph
; D ; thank you @vestal lodge I super appreciate it man
vestal lodge
@wraith jasper Randomness !
brisk trail
anyone gone to stage 2 yet its so hard
chilly vine
yea
wraith jasper
Oh really? Odd. Ive been getting it on every drop now, and at a 10% bonus
vestal lodge
@wraith jasper Oh! Yeah it will trigger on each drop. I thought you meant which weapon it appear on!
wraith jasper
Oh its a boon buff? Lol i didnt even notice
I thought it was some sort of passive i got that carried over, i got it three runs in a row without noticing 🤦
atomic kelp
Hey! Patch let me get back into the Meg fight and I just beat it
that was a really fun bossfight
hexed smelt
i've reached the meg fight twice now and died both times
wraith jasper
Meg has so much hp, tank wife
hollow heron
Spear dancing is so much fun
pastel coral
Third time's the charm @hexed smelt
brisk trail
just use shield and reflect all damage meg has no chance
hollow heron
Yeah but then I don't get to use spear
vestal lodge
@atomic kelp Glad to hear it worked!
hexed smelt
i'm using the shield, but i keep trying to charge her because it looks cool when we cross each other
hollow heron
It's so much fun to charge
hard oak
@hollow heron what is spear dancing?
celest wind
dancing with stabbing
hollow heron
It's just spamming the melee and dashing around, getting backstabs and keeping enemies stunlocked and killing them cleanly. It also involves figuring out when you're safe to charge a spin close enough you can dash it in.
It's just playing spear basically
hexed smelt
well i just played this game for, eh..... five hours straight
verdict so far: i'm bad at it, but i love it
hasty torrent
i liked bow for a while but i got to meg and i was near useless
hexed smelt
shield is my favourite so far
hasty torrent
shield and spear are definite faves so far
hexed smelt
i've got the keys to unlock the spear so maybe i should try that
hollow heron
Bow is low damage low mobility low utility
hexed smelt
bow is alright but i'm just not feeling the sword in the slightest
hollow heron
Spear and shield imo are only so fun because they're overpowered
hasty torrent
same, im bad but so far im really enjoying it
that first room when figuring out how to fight/move... took me a good 30/45 mins
hexed smelt
let me have my crutches ;3;
i died on the first "real" room bc i didn't know what i was doing
hollow heron
I died on the second "real" room my first time
hasty torrent
my first roguelike/lite? so far im not doing too badly.. loads of deaths but hey thats the point
hollow heron
Sword needs a slight buff, but both spear and shield need rather large nerfs, shield more than spear
Bow needs a massive buff
hexed smelt
i've played binding of isaac and i'm pretty good at that, i've played rogue legacy and i'm awful at that one
hollow heron
Flash attacks shouldn't only be 10 damage more
And the special shouldn't deal so little damage
vital pier
What makes the spear strong? I'm not getting a feel for it
Though I do agree the Shield is a cut above
vital pier
I mean, Is that exclusive to the spear?
unborn wyvern
So, I haven't been able to touch Hades yet cuz I found out about it at work. How's the story holding up? Roguelike is a very, very shaky foundation to build a story atop of.
burnt pond
Hey if I am streaming the game would you guys wanna come and discuss it there? I don't mean to self promote, but I figure it would be a form of instant feedback if that makes sense
unborn wyvern
Receiver had a great story but the only way I ever got into it at all was from the wiki.
burnt pond
A bit different than just typing about it if you can have a visual part too
slim igloo
im not very far in the game so far, but story seems really good, it provides a nice rationalization as to why you can die so often haha
hexed smelt
hi i had a big plot thing happen just before i stopped playing for the evening and i'm Hooked
fiery pebble
In a way, the storytelling isnt too different from, say, Pyre
You have story, with gameplay inbetween
celest wind
@burnt pond I can't chat but I can lurk if you stream
unborn wyvern
How does dying affect that?
celest wind
@unborn wyvern sass you probably
hexed smelt
how does dying affect what
burnt pond
Thats fine if you are interested in just watching, but I just wanna get some discussion going while I play, so we can talk about stuff like which boons are best and what not @celest wind
celest wind
probably like in the trailer, lol
hollow heron
I love how a lot of the story is being told whether you win or lose
thorn knoll
I'm having trouble with the shop in charon's well? I'm not able to click on any of the buttons
celest wind
@burnt pond I can chat via text, I just don't have a working mic
unborn wyvern
Like, in Receiver or Dead Cells, if you die you have to start over with the story bits.
chilly vine
jessu that second floor boss
burnt pond
Actually are there any voice channels in this discy?
hexed smelt
nah, nah, dying is incorporated into the story so that it doesn't reset
there are not
too difficult to moderate
don't volfredthink me it's a valid reason
celest wind
@burnt pond other problem is that I don't have a twitch account, so discussion from me would be in this server. Probably #h1-builds-and-combat ?
burnt pond
sure sounds good
celest wind
@hexed smelt Apologies for the unintended sass!
thorn knoll
pwease, mistew charon... let me buy your wares...
quick cedar
I can't believe Hades is actually a lousy son simulator
hexed smelt
nah nah it's fine x)
sterile peak
quick question, are all the food items sold by Charon tacos and mcdonald's fries, or is that just one of them
hexed smelt
also it took me like three chats to realise why dusa is called that,,
ms. dusa. medusa. she's a gorgon.
🤦
hollow heron
🤦

😅
normal bison
any idea when the game will come out from early acess?
silent raft
1.5 years from now
timber hinge
just got to the first major boss (i think) and holy crap the amount of adds meg summons
hollow heron
the "thank you mate" is the most aussie thing ever
normal bison
wher does it say 1.5?
spring cipher
Love the imediate action being taken for this game
<3 to all the hardworkers out there
hollow heron
the game is amazing
timber hinge
i've been playing for like.. 2 hours or so and this is amazing
hollow heron
just tell your roommate he can sleep but the dead never sleep
timber hinge
furthest i've gotten was getting the first fury to 1/2 health and then getting beaten into tar by the army she summoned
hexed smelt
same
timber hinge
also.... zues's dialouge is a bit... off
beacause given the nature of our mother we find when we take a nap.... shouldn't he be calling us grandson?
not nephew
vital pier
I believe the Olympian gods are under the impression that you came of Hades and Nyx.
timber hinge
and.... ummm what's the stance on spoilers in here?
real wolf
Would a spoilers chat be a good idea?
spring cipher
Is there like story interwoven into the levels?
spring cipher
i havent gotten that far
YES
THAT's awesome
There prolly should be a spoilers chat then
atomic kelp
there's also stuff you can infer if you know Greek myth that might be considered spoilers
spring cipher
calm delta
Why won't Epic Games let me give Supergiant my MONEY?
spring cipher
Theres a dono button somewhere
calm delta
yeah but the thing is it isn't letting me buy the damn game
spring cipher
Oh
wtf
Check Hades tech support
you might have to scroll up a lot
but I remeber seeing some talk on the subject
timber hinge
round 2 with meg... death
calm delta
oof there's nothing that looks like my problem
wait I'll try changing my region on the store
sterile peak
is it just me or do those weird crystal enemies play the very first second of Forbidden Knowledge when they attack with their laser
it's been bugging me and I don't know if I'm the only one or not
rough ivy
When will hades be available for ps4
vestal lodge
@rough ivy #hades-faq
rough ivy
O well igss ill play on my laptop then have the full game on ps4 when its complete

Supergiants must really hate our country if they added a special protection against people using Czech 😂

I haven't picked this up yet, but any chance we can get some desktop/phone wallpapers? I have a tradition of using Supergiant art for my wallpaper and I'd love to get something new

@low venture that
rough ivy
Uhhh so in this game is zagreus the kid of hades and persephone bc in myth hes zeus and persephones kid

I wonder how long it will take for Hades to be fully complete

@rough ivy it seems to be Hades and Nyx
rough ivy
Oh wow 😮

ok ill admit to being skeptical of tis game when i saw it but DAMN i am blown away
its so fun
wraith jasper
@vestal lodge is there going to be a mandatory progress wipe at any point?
vestal lodge
From #hades-faq
What are the chances I run into horrible bugs or lose progress during Early Access?
We’ve done our best to launch Hades in a high-quality, problem-free state. However, you may run into problems we didn’t find. We have always prioritized fixing issues affecting our customers' ability to play our games as quickly as possible once we’re able to track those problems down. As we add new features, from time to time we may also inadvertently introduce new bugs, and we appreciate your patience and understanding around this during Early Access.
As far as saved progress is concerned: We will do everything we can to ensure your existing save data continues to work with any content changes we make. But, there may be times when we do end up making big-enough changes that cause aspects of your progress to reset. We will do our best to limit these incidents and communicate openly around them.
wraith jasper
Nice
rough ivy
I assume not all the character art is done right
Bc like artemis is in a simple shroud whereas other gods r decked out
tulip wyvern
my 5 minutes of google searching suggests all of hades' children, including zagreus, are with persephone.
rough ivy
Ooh
tulip wyvern
but there's suppoedly very fuzzy and ambiguous informaion about the genology of hades' offspring
one of the things i read was that the mythical figure of zagreus was an early form of dionysius
rough ivy
Right
tulip wyvern
which i think SGG have nodded at
I could totally see Zagreus the SGG character as dionysius in his middle age
I've said this before, but I think it would be super interesting if Hades' other two children, a couple of daughters, were represented as playable characters further on down the road.
pastel coral
Have you checked out this link: https://epicgames.helpshift.com/a/epic-games-store-and-launcher/
@calm delta
calm delta
yep, there's nothing about the problem I have
when I try to pay it gives me an error message and like
radiant flame
Just beat my first run
calm delta
Idk what to do, I tried to contact Epic Games but they weren't any help so
pastel coral
Maybe try again tomorrow, some people have had the download work after some time, without us knowing exactly why yet
vestal lodge
@calm delta I'd recommend trying to switch the launcher out of/into Beta mode
sudden zinc
meg is mega pretty aaaa
vestal lodge
in the Launcher settings
sudden zinc
so is achiless and athena
calm delta
Okay, I'll try that then
vestal lodge
and restarting your computer completely!
exotic peak
ive only started to dabble in some runs but loving the game guys, its gorgeous too and very smooth, looking forward to going hard this sunday, Keep it up!
vestal lodge
Don't burn out everybody! There's a lot of Early Access to come haha
rough ivy
@radiant flame wait all 27 levels???
edgy heron
having a good time with hades so far
im just very bad at it
so far i really like the shield
steel stone
Hi just joined the discord to help submit bug reports! I'm awful but I am loving Hades so much so far
near wagon
exotic peak
theres 27 "rooms"
radiant flame
I want to know who came up with Hades explanation for the end of the early access 
That was a nice touch
@rough ivy oh you meant all 27 chambers, yeah I finished it
silent sluice
Stupid question but it's not in the faq - there is no NDA for Hades alpha, correct? Streaming / YouTube are encouraged?
hexed smelt
it is in the FAQ, technically! there's no nda or anything, you can stream as you like
if you check #self-promotion i think a bunch of people have been streaming it already
vestal lodge
Fun fact: Early Access was originally 36 Chambers, but the entire surviving Wu Tang clan made us change it.
calm delta
hm, I've tried switching off beta and restarting the computer, but nothing
pastel coral
Have you tried switching Beta on again @calm delta
calm delta
I don't see how that would help but I'll try
brisk trail
wutang is for the chilren
hexed smelt
oh i just met poseidon and i love him
calm delta
just as expected, nothing
pastel coral
Aww, what a shame.
Maybe try again tomorrow, to see if Epic changes something on their end @calm delta
calm delta
I will
radiant flame
@vestal lodge any updates on how the early access will progress? Will we get each of the next sections one by one? or will they be in chunks?
vestal lodge
We're not quite sure! I think it makes more sense that things come one by one. We're hoping to release new major updates every month or so.
That will allow to get feedback on new things, rebalance, etc each time we release a more substantial update.
radiant flame
Looking forward to it, I really enjoyed what has been released so far
vestal lodge
I'm really glad to hear that!
radiant flame
I didn't think it could steal Transistors place in my heart
jagged beacon
yeah its awesome
radiant flame
but it is getting there
vestal lodge
Hopefully it just keeps getting better
jagged beacon
and still early access
vapid bolt
the world started blinking all of a sudden and random artifacts were appearing on screen on stage swap and then it all crashed... and it was my second time i beat Meg
calm delta
ughh I refuse to listen to the musci till I play the game
jagged beacon
@vapid bolt Did you download today's patch ?
vestal lodge
Hmmmm the "After 3 hours of play part" may have something to do with it
jagged beacon
lul
vapid bolt
yeah, that what the viewers suggested on stream 😄
sacred nymph
💪✨ almost done with this sketch Awh yeah
vapid bolt
too many deaths and effects 😄 the game can't handle it
yeah, i'm using the latest version
the Aphrodite debuffs are so OP tho 😛
pastel coral
I am so tempted to actually buy the game now ;-;
jagged beacon
didn't see it yet D:
vapid bolt
I don't wanna force you or anything, but...
whispers... "you should do it!"
the game is great, although you start to see how the "tiles" start to repeat after like 5-6 hours (in the first "realm"), but I was so glad that there's more
teal pine
Perhaps a dumb question, but how do you get the items from the greek gods? I assume give them the ambrosia but I have no idea how to do that
Or is that not yet implemented
vapid bolt
when you beat the room with a buff from the god
there will be an option to give the gift
jagged beacon
press g in front of them
vapid bolt
instead of just talking
just don't spam E forgetting to give a gift like I did like 10 times 😛
solar coral
So, do we know how/ if the transfer between Epic and Steam will go, like will we get a key and transfer our save?
vapid bolt
wish there was an option to give a gift on the perk selection screen too, just in case you mashed the wrong button
as I understood from FAQ - it's just the DRM-free version you get from Epic Store
that's about it
solar coral
Okey doke
ebon delta
I tried to read up but couldn't find a straight answer......but is the current plan that if you play from early access on, you won't miss out on any story, and the story won't change in the early parts?
I go shocked by the news last night, and binged it for a while last night, having a blast
teal pine
Ahhh ok thank you
ebon delta
but I love these stories so much, I want to play the final "Story", but it almost sounds like it's actually more like an episodic release as opposed to an early access?
forest hollow
is there a way to buy a copy of this for a friend? if there is its not obviously jumping out at me
vapid bolt
Yeah. Also, the Dusa is such an adorable little character 😛
I didn't expect so much character in a roguelike in general, so pleased you actually don't mind dying at all, since you feel like you're making either story or battle progress either way
ebon delta
yeah after pyre I felt like supergiant had a good take/spin on a story-and-maybe-linear roguelike-ish game
really happy then went in that direction for this, it's been unique and fun so far
but really the music in the trailer is what sold me 😛
vapid bolt
heh, yeah. the music in general is amazing. At moments I feel like I'm playing Doom, and it's very fitting 😃
forest hollow
im really liking this game, ive been raving about it to my friends that only played bastion but have played games like binding of isaac as i think it appeals to both
forest hollow
but as i queried earlier i wonder if theres a way to buy someone else a copy because i cant find a way 😦
vestal lodge
@forest hollow AFAIK there isn't a way at this time, unless you login as your friend. We're asking Epic about that soon!
jagged beacon
@vapid bolt Yeah dying is a litteraly a pleasure in this game ahah x)
forest hollow
@vestal lodge would ruin the surprise slightly but ill just be blunt and tell him ill create him an account 😉
ah wow the Meg fight has so many adds that spawn i got absolutely ruined 😂
jagged beacon
same dude
vapid bolt
Just get a bunch of Aphrodite buffs 👍
and you'll just shred Meg
Also +20% and +32% defence combined from Athena and Pom upgrade is crazy good
marble sphinx
athena buffs work too
the deflect dodge is op
especially during meg's bullet hell phase
vapid bolt
i got lucky and got through the whole fight without even having a single bullet-hell phase from some reason
was only circle aoe
marble sphinx
you mean the whip circle attack?
vapid bolt
ye, i was just spamming double-dodge
marble sphinx
or maybe i get greedy and try to attack and then dodge
vapid bolt
heh
modest shadow
The Aphrodite debuff that weakens enemies and makes them take more damage is insane when you get bonus reach and crit chance
vapid bolt
i just mash the spacebar as fast as i can 😄
jagged beacon
the spin special with spear and hammer buff +200% larger area is incredible
vapid bolt
i run the shield usually
tepid wedge
im either terrible at this game or the progression is too slow or both 🤔
vapid bolt
so satisfying with the Poseidon buff
jagged beacon
you learn by dying don't worry
vapid bolt
you just push everyone around
modest shadow
I've been using spear exclusively but I keep hearing the shield is where it's at
tepid wedge
im not worried about dying
Im worried about having to do the beginning part again 😄
feels a bit too slow
vapid bolt
well, i got to the second "realm" after 16 "exits"
tepid wedge
maybe i should switch weapon
modest shadow
1st Realm becomes v easy once you stack up some darkness
tepid wedge
what is a good idea to spend darkness on?
vapid bolt
i spend on dodge-strike buff
hexed smelt
y'all, this is killing me
vapid bolt
+60% is a ton of extra damage
modest shadow
I take healing
hexed smelt
modest shadow
HAMMER TIME
vapid bolt
and the "death heal" ye
hexed smelt
vapid bolt
hehehe
edgy vortex
Saw the trailer... Now I'm here! When does it comes out?! 
jagged beacon
xD
modest shadow
I'm sorry Sparrow
vapid bolt
should've cleansed that chest faster 😛
forest hollow
i ran the shield and took all the deflect=damage buffs i could to shred through normal floors and found that it wasn't exactly optimal for Meg 😂
nimble ermine
@hexed smelt check around the room for a gold pot!
hexed smelt
i checked! alas :c
modest shadow
I hate getting the perfect build and watching it fall apart in a boss room
nimble ermine
aww too bad then!
vapid bolt
there are gold pots?!
vapid bolt
...
modest shadow
It's video games, always smash the pots
forest hollow
i found a floor that took me to a very weird place, cost HP to do. totally worth
i got a lot of gold for it but i bet there's something rare there 👀
jagged beacon
i must say Aphrodite looks good
vapid bolt
Dusa is where it's at!
marble sphinx
haven't made any meaningful progress in asphodel but i think meg is the current only boss anyways
void vigil
does anyone have a good screenshot of aphrodite?
void vigil
the ones I can take from the trailer r blurry
forest hollow
ive only got past 6 rooms once and that was when Meg slapped me so if there's a lot more after im happy 😂
this game seems very well polished for early access its a beaut
vapid bolt
i wish it would say how many rooms you beat on death
smth like a recap in Enter the Gungeon
i've got the Scrying thing for stats, but that's not really it
atomic kelp
Asphodel boss is all that's there now though, right?
vapid bolt
never got past that 😛
marble sphinx
oh really, huh
boss of tartarus is megaera, apparently asphodel does have a boss too
tired fractal
theres nothing after asphodel boss
forest hollow
good thing im bad enough never to see the end 👀
hexed smelt
i still haven't gotten past meg
i got her down to about a third of her health just now before i died and that's the furthest i've ever gotten
hollow heron
I've got past meg once, had a really good spear run
forest hollow
i've just unlocked the spear im gonna miss my shield badly
forest hollow
the adds at Meg really overrun me fast i should get an aoe clear build on the go
or tempted to ignore them and let them be collateral damage 🤔
hollow heron
My strategy for the adds is to ignore them until she does explosions or bullets, and then clear up shooty adds first
tepid wedge
but sometimes i just die in the third 🙄
hollow heron
Sometimes I'll clean up big adds in the middle
Spear makes it easy to clean up
Because you have sooo much range
forest hollow
@tepid wedge for me its learning the early enemies patterns without dashing everywhere until you get 4+ buffs
i try to ignore keys etc and prio upgrades to get further as i find the other stuff just falls in to place
tepid wedge
what weapons do you use?
hollow heron
I've been focusing on getting keys/stones because it carries over
forest hollow
shield is very easy imo
you can hold a button to block in a direction which causes deflect(block) + damage and then you let go to dash forward with damage
hollow heron
Shield is the best by far
jagged beacon
sure i can fight meg with 13hp no prob D':
marble sphinx
shield and spear are both excellent, bow can be op with the right perks, sword....isn't that great compared to the others
tepid wedge
i only have sword and bow now 😄
tepid wedge
bow + 250% power shot seemed to work the best for me
tepid wedge
it makes some enemies super easy
forest hollow
i just got spear but im legit just going back to shield 😂
marble sphinx
the close shot upgrade on the bow is risky
hollow heron
The bow in general is risky
marble sphinx
sniper shot lets you kite safely, auto charge is good for mid range
cobalt lava
I wish I could play man, is the early access even Mac OSX Compatible?
forest hollow
just forced my friend to get the epic games launcher so i could go buy him a copy. a very sketchy way of gifting the game 👀
ebon delta
the game supports 4k right? had issues on launch last night, reset seemed to fix it
cobalt lava
actually that reminds me... why is the game running through the Epic Games Launcher? Did Supergiant get bought by them or are they just acting as a middle man for the early access?
cobalt lava
than steam? really? huh.
forest hollow
it seems a early access partnership to promote the game and the launcher which is ideal
ebon delta
epic announced their store lately with a few indie devs on board with some new games
hollow heron
Epic takes half the cut steam does
cobalt lava
ooh ok so its like how DMC5's running with the Xbones
ebon delta
I'm just curious to hear supergiant plans to go to steam on launch
hollow heron
They have so much money from fortnite that they can afford to do whatever they want basically, so they aren't risking much with this move
ebon delta
so I wonder why epic for Early Access and everywhere for launch, but I'm fine either way! I love epic, but not fortnite.....and it's been a good many years since I've been able to support them lol
royal escarp
Okay I just spent my first hour on Hades
It's so good
I was a bit worried when I saw "rogue like", I thought to myself "We already covered that in a ton of games, it can't be that original, right ?"
...
WRONG
It's mindblowing how I'm having fun with a rogue like again, I thought that would never happen after the sheer amount of what I played
Thank you supergiant games, you did it again 👏 👏 👏
ebon delta
I remember when I was trying out paragon
and fornite save the world was being shown off, unable to play yet
cobalt lava
I was a huge Infinity Blade fan
hollow heron
Fortnite is a good game. I don't play it, but I've played a few rounds and it was fun. I honestly believe it deserved to win goty for its impact on public culture
ebon delta
I thought "that's neat, I'll try that one day"....then the battle royale mode happened and just.....wow
I see unreal tournament on the launcher, I'll check that out
probably wouldn't have seen that they're still working on that if not for Hades
cobalt lava
yeah but its like... you know whats BS? like a couple of hours ago I was having a kind of heated discussion about a game like DMC5 & people are giving it flak for it having microtransactions & such
but like stuff like this or Warframe gets a pass cause its FREE TO PLAY~!!
ebon delta
yeah I don't think I've EVER seen something as big as fortnite for a game in terms of widespread popularity
cobalt lava
like when it comes to games like Fortnite I worry that its kinda... skewing how we see people gauge games & game sales
ebon delta
I have lots of respect for developers that don't go that route
but lol Artifact, pay to play, but then pay to win on top of that? .-.
hollow heron
Artifact is trying to be an irl card game
ebon delta
is $20 full price for Hades on launch?
cobalt lava
Well like I mentioned Infinity Blade & DMC5 for a reason cause like those games are SOLID on their own, the DLC/Microtransaction stuff you don't need you can play the game fine without em
tepid wedge
yes
ebon delta
@hollow heron yeah my friend bought it, he's a huge MTG addict, plays lots of IRL tournaments for a hobby/fun.....but when he heard they will never balance/patch anything, he ranted at me how much he hated the game lol
and he spent $60 total on it so far
sterile peak
Warframe gets a pass because you can get literally everything by playing or trading
hollow heron
Wait they aren't balancing things? I really hope they start a banlist pronto then
cobalt lava
with difficulty on the consoles at least... TC is garbage on PS4... -_-;
hollow heron
Because they're trying to be an irl card game without the social aspect
And that won't work
forest hollow
if i get £0.50p-£1 per hour of enjoyment out of a game ill happily spend
cobalt lava
you know what I think I'll move my convo to #off-topic-discussion this is for Hades
forest hollow
i spent probably 300 quid on hearthstone but i have 2k hours in so, to me, value was had
ebon delta
trying to find proof on artifact, bugging friend about it lol
azure verge
Quick question - is there any way I can gift hades to a friend ?
steel stone
Not atm!
azure verge
Dang, I got the email last night and immediately thought about getting it as a secret santa gift haha
forest hollow
@wild plover i had to be very blunt and tell my friend to let me go and buy it him by making him an account
it ruins the surprise but no regrets
azure verge
fair enough. I may do that lol
forest hollow
😄
alpine ore
Ended up playing 8 hours on stream, game is WAYYYYYYYYYYYY to addictive xD
forest hollow
just one more run x 20
azure verge
oh rip. mouse just stopped working. Think it's time for an emergency run to the store
ebon delta
FINALLY
modest dirge
here take this 🐁
ebon delta
did the room where you get two strong enemies
modest dirge
🐭
ebon delta
with the break shields
azure verge
Thanks Joanne haha
neat musk
You need to upgrade to a moose
ebon delta
always died there, about 6 times now, wooo
forest hollow
@ebon delta i had mine being bomb wielders they absolutely ruined me
i did not like
sterile peak
the bomb wielders suck
forest hollow
i thought i was dead clever deflecting their bombs with the shield
you cant deflect if the bombs behind you, apparently 😂
neat musk
Do people prefer playing with a mouse/keyboard or controller? Chicken for controller, moose for mouse/keyboard
ebon delta
I couldn't imagine this on controller 😮 so fast paced
sterile peak
aiming would be pretty hard
marble sphinx
the athena dash perk has 360 degree deflection, which is crazy good
forest hollow
im using an xbox one pad at the mo
because i have a fully built sim rig in front of me so its either an xbox pad or a steering wheel. my keyboards kind of off to the side 😂
azure verge
Did I just hear a steering wheel run?
forest hollow
👀
hollow heron
Time for me to figure out how to play mouse only
tidal topaz
I tried m/k for a hot sec and hated moving with wasd
I also absolutely despised bastion, which has similar enough controls, on m/k but loved it on controller
hollow heron
I hold the wr for V6 using only a mouse as controls, mostly because no one else is dumb enough to do so
scenic axle
anyone had any luck beating megaera yet??
hollow heron
I've got her down once
Had a really good spear build
Lots of damage bonuses
And like 134 max hp
forest hollow
i dont know wether to try for an aoe build or just nuke her down while killing adds by collateral damage
hexed smelt
nuking her down tends to work best
i haven't killed her yet, but i'm starting to work out how to dodge her
forest hollow
last time i got her half life but took forever i was running mainly deflection though
hexed smelt
killing the adds is probably best done when she's doing her bullet hell attack
peak whale
Is this the place to ask about the required specs? my laptop is about two years old
peak whale
And it's not built for gaming so I'm worried I won't be able to run it
hexed smelt
because you can dodge that easiest at range, and that's then the best time to pick off adds
hollow heron
And ignore them the rest of the time
You'll be fine, my 4 year old laptop runs it fine
forest hollow
have you used the laptop for any other games by supergiant @peak whale because tbh its generally fine
as in, if you've run any of em you'll run this no bother
forest hollow
@ebon delta best of luck
hollow heron
It's less intensive than pyre
forest hollow
true
forest hollow
you wont have much trouble really they're not very power hungry games
tribal spruce
I started off with keyboard and mouse, but find controller to be WAY better for precision, personally. It was night and day for me. Made it twice as far once I switched.
forest hollow
@ebon delta she gives you so much hope for about 30 seconds too
hexed smelt
that's what i'm loving so far about this, tbh
i've never gotten too badly frustrated by dying
limpid vault
anyone has tips to kill the 1st boss?
peak whale
I'm sorry to ask, I am just very stupid about PC gaming
scenic axle
I feel like beating megaera is far more reliant on completely random buffs rather than being genuinely skilled at the game..... maybe that's just how rogue -likes work? I've only played one or two before this so I don't know much about good rogue-like design much less why most people like them. just picked this game up because it was a supergiant game and had a greek mythology theme.
forest hollow
@peak whale looking at the specs given by supergiant in the FAQ it doesnt look like you'd be able to run it very well
peak whale
damn 😦
forest hollow
to copy from the faq "Hades requires a PC running at least Windows 7 SP1, with a Dual Core 3.0ghz, 4 GB RAM, 1GB VRAM with OpenGL 2.1+ support, and 10 GB available disk space."
peak whale
I'll be sure to buy it the day it gets ported to console though
forest hollow
1st one is processor, then ram, then graphics, then hdd in that order above
peak whale
I promise
forest hollow
im sure you'll enjoy it
peak whale
it's a supergiant game that's a rougelike set in greek mythology
I was eager to get it on early access
forest hollow
the only one ive yet to sink my teeth in to too much is Pyre
bought it day 1 on ps4 but then that broke so i bought an xbox and just haven't rebought it yet 😂
ebon delta
darren korn always so on point
give him some love and praise supergiant team, since he isn't on the discord it looks like
well the whole team too >_>
but I'm always surprised at the music haha
forest hollow
with bastion and transistor i initially fell in love with the narrator and story teller but damn the music is on point
round nimbus
anyone talking about Ares' blade rift replacement for the red gems ? Way too good. Add a little knockback (say, a shield) and their health bars are just melting
forest hollow
ive not come across that yet
hexed smelt
i had it offered once but i was Wary and went for something else instead
tribal spruce
I was at first too, but it's GREAT. Especially if it rolls purple.
rare bolt
Hello, is there currently a road map, or any information on how long you intend staying in early access, as i'm a little skeptical on experience half the product now and then the other half down the road when it is finished.
olive jungle
@rare bolt no roadmap yet but the team is working on one
Personally I trust SGG because they've shown time and time again that they're dedicated to putting out quality stuff and not screwing over their fans
But it's also understandable to not want to put your money into something if you think you might not like the end product
viscid falcon
Playing and I think to myself, 'Gee, they should really make these emotes the shades have into emotes on the discord server.' 
Oh, they already did.
rare bolt
Tbh it's not that i don't want to put money down, it's more not to spoil the complete experience
olive jungle
That's fair!! The way they've described it is as a serial release of story, maybe more like a tv show or comic
forest hollow
with rougelikes like this i tend to like to get in early so that i can master whats there and enjoy whats to come. im forever joining games very late in dev cycles, and im aware my views not widely supported but thats why im ok with early access
olive jungle
Again if that's not your thing and you'd rather get it all at once that's totally understandable!! I've thought about it too and it's a little weird thinking abt watching the game grow and change
forest hollow
...plus with the last 3 games being so good they earn my trust on it
stiff trellis
I agree. Having bought Dead Cells about a month ago, I was on a big roguelike high too
rare bolt
It's mostly because i have joined other early access things and then forgotten about them down the road, Or when you return to them you kinda remmebers some of the story but forgets other parts of it, and if wipes happens you also have to do complete replays of story you already explored before ^^
olive jungle
Yeah, I definitely have that issue with like...monthly comics and stuff
"Oh was that what happened three issues ago???"
stiff trellis
follows the tf2 comics
forest hollow
this feels more like when PoE had to do a kickstarter, its going to be a full release and be a full game, not just an e.a that goes nowhere, mainly because of the publisher support supergiant games get
but you'll die in this game the same amount of times if not more you'll die in dark souls, if you dont like to replay things hundreds of times it may not be a roguelike you're after lol
sharp pendant
Liking the look of this, since I love the combat in Bastion and Transistor! Can anyone comment on what controls they're using? I think I'd like to use a gamepad for this kind of game, does that seem to be viable as it was in bastion and transistor?
forest hollow
xbox one pad has been flawless @sharp pendant
hexed smelt
i started with controller, tried to use keyboard and mouse, and IMMEDIATELY switched back
forest hollow
ive heard good things with mouse and keyb but have not tried
hexed smelt
i use an xbox 360 controller and it's 👌 👌 💯
stiff trellis
Truth be told, I preferred Pyre over the two games before it, but the gameplay is very enjoyable
forest hollow
if you like bastion and have played games like binding of isaac/enter the gungeon types of roguelikes its a perfect marriage of the two genre imo
stiff trellis
In true roguelike fashion it feels much faster
sharp pendant
Cool. From what I saw there's a ranged attack that you always have, so I wasn't sure if that would make controller more difficult... Does it lock on?
forest hollow
its not ranged no
stiff trellis
I'm pretty sure there's an aim assist
forest hollow
i am literally using a shield as my weapon but, with a controller you move your thumstick 360 degree range, and press
easy as owt
timber hinge
said things you get when you A: miss or B: kill the thing you hit
stiff trellis
Or if you wait long enough
sharp pendant
thanks for the input! I'll probably be picking it up, but not until after finals week 😛
forest hollow
ive not used the ranged attack much, but its dictated by where you're looking at the moment of press
stiff trellis
It's a good ability
It's kind of like the ranged weapons in dead cells, so I was able to get used to it pretty quickly
slow ravine
Cast can be pretty good, I mostly avoided it because the gem often gets stuck over lava or pits
I'm not a fan of managing and picking up the gems.
timber hinge
i don't use it much unless i find an ares ball iwth an augment
because i love the bow
stiff trellis
I tend to prefer the shield, so I tend to use it when I've thrown my shield and need to deal with it
timber hinge
and...well the bow does the same thing but.... eh
slow ravine
The bow seemed to be the most powerful option by a significant margin for me.
timber hinge
it's slow as hell
slow ravine
Dash-charged-attack is extremely good.
stiff trellis
Or I combo them together if I'm fighting something like brimstone because it defeats them instantly
timber hinge
and numb skulls take it to peices REALLY fast
slow ravine
If you manage to get a decent damage boost + permanent dash-attack upgrade + crit on dash-attacks + triple shot... The bow will 1-shot armored bloodless.
timber hinge
i mean.... my optiman for the bow is knockback auto, instant charge upgrade, deflect special , weakness dash and bladerift cast
optimal*
brisk trail
It's about time Supergiant gave us a hunk to outdo Hedwyn
hollow heron
Yo will 
brisk trail
Howdy
vestal lodge
Yeah, it's local atm
We'll certainly look into developing cloud saves!
They can be transferred between computers pretty easily
manually
mossy crescent
Of course, I wasn't sure if it was that or it just did not work or something, will use drive for the time being, super excited for the game tbh
stiff trellis
Does the progress save in the middle of runs or only between them? If I quit do I end up where I was when I left or back at the beginning?
forest hollow
is a monthly content update the current plan or is it play by ear?
not that i've even scratched the surface of the current content mind you
stiff trellis
Is anyone trying to speedrun the game yet?
forest hollow
i can die faster than anyone
stiff trellis
Well, that's a start
forest hollow
😂
stiff trellis
Although ven-hades might have you beat, seeing as they died instantly upon hearing Skelly tell them to hit him
forest hollow
now thats impressive
i recently hit a bomb expecting its death to trigger the explode of its layed bombs. instead i left it on 1hp, dashed, and exploded an adjacent bomb anyway
olive jungle
@stiff trellis [citation needed]
forest hollow
i'm a damn hero
of course i neglect to mention i was caught in that blast. 200iq plays
stiff trellis
I saw the feedback
olive jungle
i think he's awful but somehow i don't have it in my heart to suggest he be nuked.
forest hollow
@olive jungle i legit thought for a second you called for me to be nuked for my noob-death
olive jungle
oh my god no
forest hollow
😂
olive jungle
I think sgg would fire me if i said something like that :')
but also i really do suck at this game so i would be casting stones in a glass house
olive jungle
sounds about right yeah
forest hollow
got to meg the last 3 times on runs, but alas, always dead
tribal spruce
Bomb twins took me a while to figure out. Died there probably 5 times, and now I can reliably beatthem getting hit 0-2 times tops.
Only beaten Meg 1/6 runs.
forest hollow
is your strat to hit thrice and dash twice times? cos thats what i do 😂
seems to work but i haven't been calm enough to see, i just panic
sterile peak
spear all the way
stiff trellis
I smack them with my mighty dinner plate
tribal spruce
I main shield. Throw shield, dash, repeat. Once their over shield is gone, balls to the wall on attack->throw-attack-throw until dead.
stiff trellis
Did someone accidentally switch feedback and gameplay & tactics?
forest hollow
they might have but this is neither
stiff trellis
I wasn't sure where to say it
forest hollow
i just reckon this is general hub chat about the game or whatever
then you have legit need to be seen feedback sub
and the "what is your build against X cos i use Y and i use it for reason Z" sub
stiff trellis
I meant the places of them in the list if that wasn't clear
forest hollow
my b
vale drift
@stiff trellis I think it used to be the other way, switched it back!
tidal geyser
Is there a way to disable Mouse4 from trying to do some form of auto run? It's my push-to-talk key and using it at the same time as WASD confuses the player
zinc kayak
Just curious: past Supergiant Games have been rated from E10+ to T. I understand that Hades isn't in it's final form yet, but is there an anticipated or target ESRB rating?
spring cipher
lmfao
vestal lodge
harsh
olive jungle
Gaiwecoor, all of supergiant's games have hovered around the same general T rating so I don't really anticipate Hades going much beyond that? Imo it would be a weird departure
I don't have insider info or anything tho haha
Just guessing.
cedar moss
I feel like the shield is all around the best available weapon.
zinc kayak
Hehehe - fair enough. Just thought what I've seen so far looked a smidge bloodier than the others, so it made me wonder if there would be a difference.
forest hollow
@cedar moss shield is bae
vestal lodge
@tidal geyser errr... What do you mean by Autorun?
tidal geyser
@vestal lodge I press Mouse 4 (to push to talk) and I think he tries to run towards the point under the cursor?
vestal lodge
oh interesting
cedar moss
@forest hollow yeah from playing last night and much of today I can’t get nearly as far with any other weapon, but the shield has gotten me to the first fury.
forest hollow
@cedar moss i think potentially spear is the best but the shield has unlimited block on normal rooms
i'd abuse deflection+attack on every normal room but get melted on boss
cedar moss
@forest hollow yeah I just briefly hold the X button and charge through groups repeatedly
forest hollow
you can hold that and face any charging enemy
azure verge
finally got to meg... oof.
forest hollow
it will deflect them
azure verge
that hurt a little
forest hollow
@azure verge my heart hurts every time i get past 66%
azure verge
I wish there were some way to record how long I've been playing for lol
tidal geyser
It's not in the controls screen so I can't rebind it. If I try and run at the same time I end up doing this and get stuck and it's all no bueno. Only way out of it is dashing or reaching the point.
Have to upload to gfy, one sec.
azure verge
@forest hollow I got her to like 20% and did a stupid.
forest hollow
@azure verge i get too distracted by the adds
azure verge
I will say shield has proven to be much easier than bow/sword
first shield run and got to meg lol
cedar moss
Something about seeing the reveal last night made me think this was gonna have more of a souls-like feel to it but now that I’ve played it I realize that’s not what it is
tidal geyser
https://gfycat.com/KaleidoscopicGlumAustrianpinscher That's the behavior I see when using Mouse4 + WASD
forest hollow
because on hundreds of hours of both it feels right
cedar moss
Maybe it’s just from all the dead cells I have been playing lately
forest hollow
@tidal geyser might be worth reposting in to bugs sub
silent raft
Good to know that function is still in there. I got used to using it in Pyre and Transistor
surreal nest
I’m sad 😦
tidal geyser
Yeah I think after recording the thing it's more than just a feedback cause that looks pretty broken heh
forest hollow
doesnt look an intended move for sure
cedar moss
Anyone else have a soft spot for Dusa?
surreal nest
Had an amazing build then crashed ,_,
radiant flame
Has anyone been able to get all the keepsakes?
forest hollow
as much as i want to know who or who not to give the items to im tempted to just keep spamming them to randoms 😄

Poseidon attack/push level2, 300% damage with shield, weak, weak= damage, and a 2 second dash with 4 attacks
It saved

@forest hollow pssst....check your codex
forest hollow
autosave seems very very regular @surreal nest
@radiant flame the present symbol does that indicate what dialogue i skipped because i used it, or i need to use the item to progress past it?
surreal nest
It seems pretty good so far
radiant flame
if a heart is filled with a present, you have got their item
forest hollow
i see
i figured that when it says "talk to x, y times" if i give an item it fills that bar, is that so?
or it fills one of those bars, i meant
forest hollow
@radiant flame in that case im going to tell my friends im dying and talking to them for lore purposes

I am just glad I finally made out of Tartarus
surreal nest
I really like the shield
gaunt ridge
Protag looks pretty EDGEY!111
That said, are there any penalties for dying in game?
surreal nest
Lost of gold

I'm actually kind of hoping they nerf the shield
surreal nest
It didn’t save this time 😦
crystal finch
and any boons and weapon upgrades

On the 2nd crash
radiant flame
I did one run with the shield and beat meg
surreal nest
The spear feels very weak
gaunt ridge
thanks. 👍
forest hollow
from around 5 hours or so of play the shield seems far ahead of the other weapons
crystal finch
I don't sheild nerf just make the other more viable without boons or upgrades
radiant flame
the spear is the only one I have beat the game with so far actually
surreal nest
The bow is awful against those skele without a good power
forest hollow
the spears damage is amazing for its range, its a very reactive weapon
surreal nest
Well heads
forest hollow
you need to know your mobs first
surreal nest
I was going to beat the game with my shield, but game crashed again ,_, and it didn’t save
radiant flame
Especially since their are boons which increase the range of the spear
getting curse and increased range got me my win against the second boss
forest hollow
@surreal nest D:
surreal nest
I was 2 levels from the boss
forest hollow
i loved getting spear spin radius
surreal nest
In the 2nd area
forest hollow

radiant flame
Aww
stiff trellis
Fun fact: you can skip the animation of Zagreus walking out of the pool of blood by dashing
radiant flame
you can also get a perfect landing if you dash when landing in tartarus

Finally got to Meg; first try with the shield + 500% deflect damage I got her down to like a fifth of her health before I finally got destroyed haha
vestal lodge
You made it!

I think rather than nerf the shield, buff the other weapons. They all should feel powerful and unique, like they’re something the son of hades would use.
And I think the cast ability needs to be a bit different
Like have a different cast for each weapon, instead of just the same fireball.
Because I ain’t used cast at all with anything other than the sword
Unless I get the chain lighting cast
