Man I almost lost my streak with the first run through with thesus
:(
man
I'd say elysium makes me want to kill myself but god damn those new enemies are doing a good enough job of that as is lmao
zeus chill out, I took a duo boon between artemis and you, there's no reason to send all these angry shades at me
Erm, how does one get one of those nifty roles? I have feedback but realized I don't have perms.
Read the pinned messages in #hades-feedback for instructions 
Cheers, mate.
tisiphone needs to take a page from meg's book and chill the heck out
I can't remember the last time I died to meg, I don't think I've ever died to alecto but tisiphone murks me 75% of the time
she's good at her job
It intrigues me how different people seem to have trouble with different furies.
I'm about 95% sure I saw someone saying Tisiphone was the easiest for them
And Alecto killed me much more effectively than either at first
I've seen people say Tissy is easier than Alecto, but I don't recall any saying she's the easiest (just my personal observations)
at this point we could propose the furies and the subjective difficulty as a personally test
In my experience Meg is still the easiest. Tissy gives me more trouble depending on the weapon, but Alecto I can usually consistently beat
Hmm... I think somebody was talking about how Meg got way harder on high heat specifically because of her allies getting buffed?
Elite Skullcrusher hardest boss in the game.
glad im not the only one who's noticed how much tankier that annoyance is lately
asterius sure is a beefcake π
Finally! I beat the Elysium boss haha
congratz!!
I keep getting framedrops in random places so I'm always on the edge of beating the first of those bosses
like my computer is bad, but the rest of the areas run fine
That final area seems slow
for framerate
I was getting some frame drop in the hydra
and my computer is a monster
@timber topaz meg is the weakest objectively I think, a lot of her challenge comes from how she summons a bunch of mooks
and on high heat they're killer
I can see why alecto would be more difficult for some people but Tisi's janky move set really hecks me up
Also I think there's a bug where some of her projectiles don't display the graphic, only a shadow
https://i.imgur.com/8vf5HKZ.png that sounds like a GREAT idea chaos
with the rail
yes please give me the ability to murder myself faster
Chaos is very generous like that
Have we tested yet whether that works with revenge boons?
I don't want no maimed strike
I want maiming strike
quick question about meg
after a certain point in the story
does she just stop showing up or something?
I'd love to talk with her more but i havent seen her in a while
she'll show up again
it's random who you get between the three furies
i'm actually seeing her more frequently now than i was before, which is nice
i mean in the house
to chat
idk i wanna progress her social link but she wont show

She only appears in the house if you defeat her during the run.
^ that, and even then she sometimes wonβt
she's elusive indeed
and sometimes she's busy talking to someone else
When you defeat her and she doesn't show up in the House, it's 'cause she's taking a well deserved bubble bath #LetMegRest
Why doesn't Zag even want to have one
zagreus, being told to sleep, relax, or do anything that isn't actively escaping dad's house: hmmm no
Where's the best place to leave feedback? I don't have access to post in the feedback channel.
Thanks anyway though, haha
@crystal mural You need to get the rank "Early access" via bot command to post feedback
oh, thank you :)
read the pinned posts in the feedback channel
it tells you in the channel description
Actually does Zag even sleep?
Or is he on his 250th day of staying awake to get out
Fueled by nothing more than coffee and pure spite
Everytime he goes through the river Styx his brain wakes up from sleep I guess
yeah, he's never awake for more than an hour
He sleeps once
It's been so many months since then that I somehow forgot o/O
hey are posiden boons bad? they feel bad
No, they just have their own playstyle, same as any god. It's ok to not like it if it doesn't work for you, though. I like them
ocean's bounty and sunken treasure aside, i just had a run where i got to the final boss with a poseidon dash, razor shoals and the legendary
Theyre odd
In terms of raw damage, theyre on part with Athena
Their utility is obviously useless in boss fights, but against regular enemies it can be great
Or it can be awful
i had a couple other boons but really i was barely attacking, just dashing around. and it was very fun even though i didnt win that one
Best way of putting it is that Poseidon has his own niche
im mostly just salty cuz i kept yeeting witches several miles away and trying hard to find them, while working on my time
Razor Shoals is great
shoals is awesome, yeah
@ Supergiant you guys are the best 
+Hunter's Mark (Artemis): the 'Marked' Status Curse now expires when the target takes Critical damage rip
You can now retrieve Cast ammo while using the Shield's Bull Rush I'm pumped!
"Fixed an issue where the game frame rate could degrade over longer sessions" Thank God. I knew there had to be a memory leak or something happening.
Haha yeahhhh
ohhhh bless
Epic is having me re-sign in to my account for some reasons and I can't find my password anywhere.
rip, at least resetting password is pretty easy
It does that to me occasionally too, I think it might have a timeout on remembering your login
Resetting my password is apparently not easy at all.
Wtf
The first time it said it couldn't reset my password.
But it did.
Like the first time I tried to reset my password, it said there was an error, and that I couldn't even use that password reset code again.
So I did the process again, put in the same new password, and gave the error that I can't use something that was within my last 5 passwords.
So I just tried logging in with it, and it worked.
Wtf?
(It wasn't my previous password.)
I'm eager to listen to the new music track
I don't have the game or system to run it so I wait for the uploads to YouTube
Through SG's official channel
if you subscribe to the newsletter, you get the links to new music even sooner! :D
Ah. I see. Is the subscription free?
yup!
Skull-Crusher (Elite): increased health, damage, and speed; only appears in Megagorgon encounter
NO THIS THING WAS ALREADY SO ANNOYING
why
here's the link!
you're looking at the previous patch notes, tacit
o
Skull-Crusher (Elite): reduced health and armor latest notes
oh oh the new track is playing in my run π
Good patch.
I'm signed up now.
So now I just need to keep a eye on those newsletters. 
everybody in hades is hot because its hell
I'm real grateful for all the health decreases across the board. Some of those fights dragged on forever. God help you if you decide to invest any Heat in enemies have +50% health. Some fights (all the ones that got tagged with health nerfs) were grueling slogs.
yeah i really like that they addressed that
ok was anyone gonna tell me that the little bubbles in the lava in asphodel pop when u walk over them..... or was i just supposed to find that out myself
I... don't make it a habit of walking in the lava
News to me!
i love the little details like this
this almost made me jeopardize my run
LMAO im sorry
its the same as making the little leaves on the ground disappear in transistor
i dont leave a room before i clear them all
just walk over them until there are none left
@pastel nacelle @plush dagger could you explain a little bit on why you don't want what i put in feedback?
Also y'all in general please can we stop using the β as a super dislike
it says clearly in the pins it's for feedback that's against the rules or irrelevant to the game, not feedback you just think is a bad idea
im curious as to why others do not like the idea of a slight degree of camera control
because not everyone plays on a controller
And it's treating the symptom of a larger problem
That being enemies being able to attack you while off-screen
That should be rectified
i don't see why that matters, you can still add camera controls to a kbm setup
but understood on the second point
right stick doesn't aim on controller
Pretty sure mouse already has a light panning feature, if I recall correctly
yeah mouse already offers panning
Aim = Move
^
that's gross as hell
its the way it is
it shouldn't be
and the way it's been on every SG game
A long time ago I left feedback (I think?) about making the controls twin stick (or having the option for it)
well I've never played a sg game with a gamepad
i think an option is the best
the last time I plugged my dualshock into my computer was for dead cells a few months ago
i like one stick though
god that just feels clunky for me
makes things easy peasy and holding the controller comfortable
what's the right stick used for?
Default right now is R3 for reload, but that's it
nothing rn
I remapped mine to L3, however
you have two sticks
two inputs
and two actions
but both actions are only bound to one input

same here lol @prisma wind
'cause I don't like moving my thumb off the buttons to reload
by default all actions are on button pad
maybe it's more intuitive to actually use but
so aiming and firing wouldn't work
as someone who uses exclusively kbm
it sounds janky as heck
It's really not that bad
KBM does have a distinct advantage at high levels of play with being able to move and aim independently, though
I agree on dual stick option, but I think they π« it. It was honestly a long time ago, though
kbm will always have the advantage over gamepads in almost every genre
there's a few exceptions, like platformers and racing games
but the number of inputs on a keyboard and the raw precision of a mouse will always beat out gamepads
not really, analog movement not being a thing is an issue for a lot of games
it's a tradeoff
sure you can prefer a gamepad and there's nothing wrong with that
not for games like kh
the genres I mentioned that gamepads are better on are some of those most hurt by no analog input
but that's the beauty of PC gaming huh
if you really want to go for maximum immersion in ETS2, you can buy that $500 set of pedals, stick and steering wheel
If you were hardcore you could use mouse and gamepad at the same time 
and throw in a VR headset
honestly when i play with kbm, usually i use some dinky onehand bluetooth controller with an analog stick for movement and such
don't talk to me if you don't use a fisher price piano to play
and map most important lefthand buttons there
then map secondary buttons to the KB
i use kbm for shooters n stuff
my best friend plays warframe with a gamepad
I think she's actually mental
i think it's just up to preference
but this is diverging from hades
i've tried kbm for hades and it jsut doesn't feel great, but idk how much of that is my preference for controller in general, the game itself leaning one way or the other, and my inexperience w/ the control scheme
I'm certain if I put as much time into KBM as I have into gamepad, I would be fine at it for Hades. I just don't feel like relearning to play 
What do you mean?
songs with vocals
There are 2 already
Have you been neglecting ||Orpheus||?
I don't talk to him if there's no exclamation above his head
Gifting, I mean
I trade ambrosia for keys
Well, if you want the songs, you have to ||give gifts to Orpheus||
I mean like
Or you can just listen to them on Youtube
I know greek myth
so lore hunting wasn't really a priority
...you know it's like...not a myth retelling right
Or spotify, or wherever
like the game has its own narrative
I mean most of it's based on the myths
and there's really not a story at the moment
There's quite a bit of story π
"son help your father with his work" "screw you dad I wanna see mom" "I have sole legal custody now go to your room" "SCREW YOU DAD"
Most of it is unlocked by progressing your relationship with characters
There's a lot of interpersonal stuff
i think that's an oversimplification
they're great, don't get me wrong
I ain't gay but I'd marry zag, I love him to bits
Anyway, you know what is required now for in-game vocals
I mean that's basically what the story is, key
it only really progresses when zag sneaks around at night
hi- we try to treat 'ree' here like other kinds of curses or slurs, because of its negative connotations with autistic people
yeah, it's got connotations of making fun of meltdowns! thanks for understanding, and carry on w your hadestalk 
the story as I understand it so far, what with this game not being, y'know, finished yet, is:
zag wants to get to the surface because he's sick of being stuck with his dad, everyone wants to help him cause his dad is a jerk
zag meets the gods and chaos and they have fun little dynamics, meg is just doing her job, etc.
night sequence happens, all that does is reiterate zag's desire to leave and hades being a jerk
as far as a plot goes that's like
the setup
sure there's inter-character stuff but I wouldn't call that a story really imo
though the character dynamics really are the best
I ship zag and meg
and nobody can stop me
Then you should advance their relationship to get that juice
as a writing major, i consider them stories within themselves
there's an overarching plot and narrative but those are more like personal stories
yeah, give her all your ambrosia lol
I'll give her all my ambrosia
if you catch my drift

but yeah I didn't realize they did more story stuff if you kept giving them ambrosia
I thought it was just a one time thing to get the trinkets
did you not... wonder what the rest of the hearts were for
I assumed they were going to progress with more content added :v
like
get to elysium and you can chat with achilles about why he's in the house instead of elysium
or all these handy dandy bottles of ambrosia the game gives you, or the gift prompts that came up before you spoke to people
y'know
have their stories unlock as you progress through the game
I gave a few of them extra ambrosia and nothing happened
so I assumed nothing would happen
so I sat on my ambrosia and picked any other door when those doors came up
@tidal abyss Hey there! Just trying to get some further perspectives on my feedback. Why do you not think having the option in the feedback is a good idea?
Hmm how to say .... I like the unpredictability, I like not seeing a foe doing is spell or ranged attack, it makes it more dangerous and a principal target, and also I enjoy dodge the attack or reflect it at the last time, but it's only subjective of course (sorry if my english is bad btw) @wooden quartz
Spear and shield bros are the bane of my existence.
I think spears are pretty ok, shields are a way to overpowered, archer's arrow needs to be more visible in my opinion
My problem with Spears is with pact. Increased attack speed makes them lethal.
So kind of self inflicted I guess lol
I'm not sure to understand your sentence, guess pact means a pact with Chaos, but why your attack speed make them lethal, They reflect damages ? (never saw that)
Ah sorry. The pact of punishment.
Haaa, yeah, alright
Pact is from Hades, technically, but yeah. Whipped Frenzy makes the enemies attack and movement speed faster
Indeed it's like a kind of masochism
Guess who just submitted their first bug report πͺ
(I maybe have 50hours of playing, but I never use the Pact of punishment yet, so that's also why I did not understood)
It's entirely optional, so no worries if that's not your desire
Yeah I know, mostly because I don't really get the point of that, just making the game more harder for more rewards I don't really need
Some people get bored with the difficulty (or lack of difficulty, rather) after playing for a while, so the Pact is a way to bring some extra challenge and make the game exciting for skilled/determined players
I just want to uncover those dang tarps haha
I totally understand that, but in my opinion there should be something else as reward, like new things to unlock
I think the problem with that is you then lock out people who can't or don't want to interact with heat.
And SGG doesn't seem about that
That's right
You do get Heat only rewards (aesthetic only) for completing certain levels of Heat, as well as increased Darkness gain during your run, so there is a reward mechanic. At the same time they don't want to gate content, as Rhonlore says
You also can only access the Erebus challenge room by using Heat
It's probably a bad comparaison, but I just thought about Hollow Knight, You don't need to finish the Pantheon of gods to finish the game, but at least when you finish it you obtain some lore
Guess I'm gonna use it now, because I want to see the Ereberus challenge room π
It's pretty barebones, but worth seeing.
I like it because it's an alternate exit that might have a more valuable reward.
Ha ha best of luck! It can be fun, but also frustrating. Don't start too high! But remember you need minimum 25
active to access the Erebus challenge in Tartarus
Yeah !, thx for the informations and advices guys
Good luck!
rips off sleeves and yells let's go
beat meg on run number....9
well that's not accurate i had about 15 runs and then lost my save file through my own hubris
@wooden quartz sry just saw the notif
I don't think this game needs camera control tbh, you're able to notice most ranged enemies before they start attacking when entering rooms or while fighting and even then there are already plenty of indications of incoming attacks for us
hmm
the issue im more seeing is the longbows in elysium
most projectiles are slow
but the elysian fighters are wildly unpredictable in movement
and their projectiles are really fast
I think it makes sense for them to be significantly more challenging than the other, previous, foes. They're supposed to be the shades of renowned heroes, after all
To me it seems that they're meant to be a foil to Zag's own abilities, culminating in the boss fight
I don't understand why people think the spear's charge attack is good
I can see some functionality in the shield after they buffed it but the spear takes way too long to charge
It's all a matter of playstyle. Probably better suited discussion for #h1-builds-and-combat though
i am loving the new song for elysium
spear spin is awesome as a precast until you start using the pact to grant enemies the damage shield effect. in actual combat i find it's quite risky.
I hit a bug in the game, but didn't remember f10 was the command to report a bug
Any way a screenshot will help SGG?
F10 is right, yeah! bug reports send screenshots and save and setup info so yes!
oh wait
sorry i misread
screenshots will help, yeah, you can paste an upload link into the bug report window
be descriptive about where, when and how it happened
okay so relaunch the game and hit F10?
Yep
The update says thereβs a new track called βThe Exaltedβ - is that on the album or only ambience?
its not yet on youtube or spotify, i think, just in the game !
if youre subscribed to the newsletter you can listen to it on youtube early

I find it really interesting how some keepsakes are like, encouraging you to avoid the one who gifts them to you. Like, Nyx, Cerberus, and Skelly, all give you items that help you survive. Charon gives you an item that encourages you to spend your money on the Charon's well, leaving you with less reason to go to the actual store.
My personal favorite, though, is Thanatos, who has a requisite of having taken damage to see him. His keepsake, meanwhile, teaches you to never take a hit.
(That's right, isn't it? You need to have taken damage to see Thanatos?)
"I love you, but you are better off seeing me less because of where I stand, so please take care and go to a better place" kind of love maybe?
Yeah, pretty much.
meg's earring encourages you to get hit because she'd love to see zag get punched in the face
The difference between Thanatos' and Meg's while both giving you similar effects is the funniest
thanatos, meanwhile: "please stop getting punched in the face"
i love this very good boy
Oh yeah, that's true. Didn't think about Meg's
I just tried Pact of Punishment (50) on a few runs, it's a lot more difficult, hell yeah, but I do not find it very rewarding, especially since about a dozen runs I found only two "path of Punishment"
I don't think it's supposed to be rewarding lol
@prisma wind "They're supposed to be the shades of renowned heroes, after all
To me it seems that they're meant to be a foil to Zag's own abilities"
But they're enemies in the area #3 out of 4. I wonder what's going to come after Elysium.
have you annouced any kind of hades's merchandise?
and are you thinking about giving Orpheus a new portrait? i would love to see you interpretation of that character
they are working on character art for lots of people
they havent announced any merch plans yet
IRT portraits, from #hades-faq:
"Are the robed character portraits final?
No. These are an example of work-in-progress content weβll update during Early Access."
and about merch, i think theyre busy making the game haha
make your own hades merch
As long as you aren't selling it, you can make your own for personal use
shade cosplay:
-find a green towel/bedsheet
-cover yourself with it
oh no i didnt mean selling it go
d
dusa cosplay:
-find some snakes out in the nature and put them in your hair
-dig a hole in the ground thats just deep enough to have your head sticking out
dusa cosplay:
impossible she's too cute
you too can be cute! just make an effort
that came out way too aggressive than intended
oh i understand
but to be as cute as dusa seems impossible
it didn't seem aggresive to me, belcow
maybe but i re-read myself and i was like whoops
dont worry <3
for some reason im particualary interested on Orpheus. i think they will make an awesome interpretation, in particular, of that character
@brisk trail I wonder how opulent his harp is going to be.
Is it going to be regular big? Noticeably big? Way-too-big big?
Or
should I say
Supergiant big?
Hades merch, but its just pomegranates
walks into grocery oh man i didn't know they sold hades merch here!!
we need a starboard just for posts like this one βοΈ
No lie I've taken a fresh liking to poms after playing Hades, especially pre-nerf when they carried me through my first 120heat run
the power comes from their... antioxidants
he took the smarts in the divorce π
see, that's the emoji i WISH i could use
but tab autofill seems determined to make me a cowboy
JFHFJGNV U SOLD UR SOUL 2 ASTER
sadly yeehaws
who
OH my god i thought this was modlpunge i was like WHO ARE YOU KFKXMVJG
yee...and im stressed enough......haw

just picked up Hades 
niiiice!!
ITS NEW I MADE IT 4 @strong heron
pensivetariq is also newish bc i found it in my folders the other day,we got
instead tho

pensoliam is such a Good emoji
omg the red one...
pensive bouldy when
absolutely ridiculous run. Flood Shot for 175 damage + quick reload + Exit Wounds for 300 + 7 casts
completely melted the hydra and theseus
I had a 55 second kill on Theseus today 
wow
Instant Nova + Super Nova doing 560 damage crits
I used to hate the Sword, but with all the changes this patch its one of my favorites now
Dont know if supergiant people read this chat but I think the change to Asterius in this patch is amazing. Before, i would just avoid rooms that had to elite skull on them in elysium. Now there is a meaningful benefit to fighting him and it gives continuity for when you fight him later
π
I don't know if it's a bug or not, but the bonus Dark Thirst on a weapon always altern for the same weapons for me, shield and gun
Is it just me, or is aiming with the adamant rail (specifically with the upgrade that gives you a single 80 base damage shot - probably just more noticeable because the penalty for missing a shot is much bigger with this) kind of wonky? I'm missing a ridiculous amount of shots with it, where I would normally be landing them if I were playing with the bow for example.
Just trying to figure out if I'm right in finding it a bit off, or if I just gotta get good
They tweaked auto-aim for controllers recently
I had noticed the bow felt a little different when I picked up the new patch
Would that affect keyboard/mouse players too, or was it only for gamepads?
The mystery yet remains
In fairness, I only really noticed this in elysium
yeah i tried heavy slug once and it was absurdly hard to aim anything
Okay, that makes me feel a touch better then
i'm on kb + m and i found it impossible to land a shot
It just frustrated me to the point that I was no longer having fun on the run despite still have 4 death defies halfway through elysium
1000+ damage on a single slug is mad fun...when you can actually hit anything at all
i experimented with it and it will show you a line of aiming before you shoot......when you're not dash attacking
if you dash attack it will just randomly fire a shot without letting you aim
same. my whole playstyle revolves around dash attacking
+30% damage to distant foes, so it felt like a total waste to have to go point blank to even deal any damage
Hmmm, the aiming has been quite good with Heavy Slug on gamepad, I've found...
But autoaim probably helps significantly with that
I may try again with the gamepad at some point, see how that plays
though just having it work on kb/m would be great ;P
Knowing supergiant it'll be sorted soon at least, if there actually is something wonky
I'd check the feedback channel to see if anyone has left feedback on it, and if not, leave one yourself
Shall do after this run
Probably indicate that it's for KBM that you're experiencing problems
Here's a new one
Has anybody encountered a chamber reward that shows its icon as chaos' gate logo?
Wait I'm an idiot never mind
that's hidden chamber debuff
I was going to be really curious about that being a thing for a minute there... XD
that used to be a different icon so it threw me completely
I have to learn that you need to aim at the shadow of flying enemies to hit them and not the model
It's really tough lol
does anyone know when its leaving early access
We don't have an exact date, no. Just sometime in 2020
Proxy's asleep, but you'll want to edit out the swear
do u know if theres transfering over to steam after ive purchased on epic
Probably not
That would be extremely unusual if there were
They're two separate storefronts...unfortunate but it's how things work these days
A lot of your potential questions might be answered already in #hades-faq
i read the whole faq~
ya i joined server by clicking the bottom of the faq thing
i love this server i feel so close to the gods wtf
well anyway ill contemplate
pretty neat huh?
yw!
You're most welcome 
Feels bad when you get the 80 base damage slug on the rail and then for the rest of the 120 heat run, all the way up to Minos, you never find a single boon with % damage for Attack
F
Rip
well, she's still an olympian
they're all pretty dickish
she is cooler than most though
haha
and she seems to have a little bit more personally invested in zag than the other gods
the others get their egos wounded, but artemis is like...kind of projecting on zag?
That one always confused me. Isn't Zag supposed to be the son of Hades and Nyx, as far as everyone is concerned? Where's the "half-god" thing coming from?
I always figured the Olympians might not consider Nyx a "proper" goddess
Zeus talks down about her
rude
i guess because nyx isn't olympian?
and the olympians look down on the chthonics in general; they would consider Hades a proper god, since he's their sibling/uncle, but might not feel the same way about deities born in the underworld
they could also be using "half god" in the same lines as "lesser god", as when achilles reassures zag that there's no such thing as lesser gods
I'm confused, actually, by a lot of the communication in the game. There seems to be this conceit that Zag can't talk to them and that people are basically sending Zag one-way messages, but then you can hand them Ambrosia somehow and they respond to how beat up you are and other conditions, so clearly they have some information about what's going on down there
mm, I buy that
They can barely see Zag, and can't hear him at all
Zeus and Dio make comments about how dark it is
I'm not really sure how the ambrosia is working, but one would imagine it works like any other offering to the gods
mortals don't live on olympus, but they manage to send offerings
heh, I guess that's fair
yeah yeah i think it works like that too\
and presumably the gods can send him keepsakes the same way they grant him boons
Speaking of which, isn't it a little funny that when you encounter the fallen warrior, you can be like, "Man, you seem sad. Here's some drugs."
i like that zag finally makes a comment about that fkfjgfd that's probably moving into spoilers territory though
wish i could gift, like, ice cream
ah, I don't think I've maxed out those interactions yet
anyone know if there is art of meg from a different angle im trying to draw her but i have no idea if she has something covering her neck or not
There's her model, but that's it
kk il have too see if i want find a screen shot of a pose where i can see then haha
if it helps, it looks like she does have something there, because the gold highlighting is there on her neck
ah true thanks
you could probably just make up whatever, bc you're not going to be able to get any detail from her model tbh
we need boon emotes
Boon goes the dynamite

she's probably wearing some armor around her neck like her other sisters
Can somebody explain the EU sale price for me? The game costs 6.99usd in US, and 14.86 euro in EU. So it costs three times more.... Is it a price error or a bad joke?
From what I know, it's a sale put on by Epic and not something done by SG, so that would be Epic's decision Β―_(γ)_/Β―
@jlnprssnr @Golwar Yeah, sorry about that. We're talking to Supergiant to decrease the discount in Europe, so the game would fall under the promotional rules. It's 7 AM in San Francisco, it might take some time for them to reply.
so @ at someone at Supergiant here so they see it π
I'm pretty sure they're in communication now
I guess π
It's done, game is now at 6.61β¬.
And buying it for this low price is completely guilt-free because Epic is paying for most of the discount 
The day people begged for a worse discount
lol
just move Hades to Steam alr, sigh
i dont like to get spyware so i will commit piracy eventually
wow
please discuss your grievances with the epic game store in #off-topic-discussion, and piracy nowhere on this server, as it is against the discord TOS
if you want hades on steam, it'll be there eventually, so buy it there when it's out of early access.
and alright, i'll seek myself out
please, #off-topic-discussion
Skillz~ 
Finally got that 60 heat statue
hey, please keep final boss spoilers in #h1-story-discussion or #h1-builds-and-combat!
but congratz π π
Anybody else having trouble with dashes going the wrong way or is it just my imagination during the hectic dodging?
More specificly when used with channeled/charging attacks like the bow and the spear with flurry jab upgrade
When Im attacking I and I try to back off, I feel like im dashing forward.
Guys I need help. I love this game but I'm not the greatest, I can't beat the Hydra. I feel like there's so much content after the Hydra fight that I'll just never experience because I'm just stuck. Is there any way I can get better or any tips that allows me to get stronger to survive longer or do more damage?
there's some jars in the top right and left corners of the hydra arena that have healing items in them. that can help in a pinch. for survivability go for athena boons, her deflect abilities can really help prevent damage. aphrodite boons can help you reduce the amount of damage that enemies do to you. and artemis is a hit for getting excellent big damage
Fairly small heals, but definitely worthwhile.
can make the difference between life or death
damn, still though that''s useful
They can at that.
get your extra dash asap
Want to head over to Gamplay to continue this conversation?
sure
yeah that'd be a good idea
I'm think about buying Hades. Could you tell me how many hours of content are already in it. Im afraid of early access...
So how many hours did you played hades and is it still fun?
there's no play timer on the epic launcher but i've got about 200 escape attempts totalled up ingame
i'm not sure but i've done over 160 runs and i'm still enjoying myself
@urban oracle it's around $5 now in Epic Games store, there is no reason not to buy it.
In fairness, you'll get a biased answer from the people who are currently engaged with it on the discord?
yeah i saw this discount, very good π
there's three zones already, a ton of different enemies, and a lot of characters and plot that happens with them
Yes, it was $20, then dropped to $7 a week ago, now it's like $5, get it already xD
Modular difficulty upgrades for if you've beaten it at normal difficulty (SGG is real good about that, and I love them for it)
Aaand it gets you into the final release of the game, unless I've been vastly mislead.
Overall, definitely worth $5. I bought it at like, 20, and still, no regrets.
i was hesitant too at first to get it before it was done but it honestly doesn't feel like an early access game to me. the full story isn't finished but everything is still very polished
thanks for your answers, I guess I will buy it for 6β¬ π
it was around 28 for me.....gotta love currency differences
i just bougth the game , TY EPIC
Is it possible to run Hades through steam?
yes, if you add the exe to it as a non-steam game
Screw it, I'm buying this game twice
Oh hey, I just noticed that SG got their Discord banner up!
oh u rite
eyyy, i was wondering when someone would notice
I feel like it must have been today
yeah
I feel like someone should make an announcement about the sale with an @ everyone
Oh nevermind this is their official server
hey @silver gulch , your message got zapped by proxy but here's a thing from epic's FAQ on the mega sale:
For all game purchases between May 2nd, 2019 and May 15th, 2019 we will refund you the difference in price between what you paid and what you would have paid during the Epic Mega Sale (inclusive of the $10 off from Epic). You will receive your refund automatically to the payment method you used in the next 7-12 days.
Dude. That's....Epic. πΆ π

The server is verified!!! : 000000
Love the new patch notes. Love you Supergiant 
they just added one..?
They just added an entire new biome about a week ago
you can access the roadmap in game by clicking the update countdown
sorry for being an idiot
noooo! go forth and explore!! 
yes, the extremely low price beforehand was an error π
im sure some people have, haha
Oh wow, that was a mistake?
mhm
The game shows a regular price of 22.99β¬ though, when it was 17.49β¬ before the sale started. Is it a temporary price raise for the sale or is the price gonna stay up after it stops?
oh damn, I've been advertising the hell out of the game to my friends and viewers. I'll make sure to keep pushing then to make up for it. It's been very popular so far.
also, what @gleaming crane said. I remember it being 17.49 before the sale
the price increase is permanent
will hades release on steam?\
It's expected to be on Steam after it leaves Early Access, yes
sweet π
raising the price in the mid of a sale is some baaaaad look
not to mention it has no actual base discount now either, only Epic's own 10$ one
elysiumβs worse than those skellies haha
oh no :(
youβll get around em dont worry!!
bowβs really strong imo, but i think itβs up to preference
Bow is very technical, but it is quite good. Just takes practice
Make sure you do dash attacks with bow, it reduces the charge time of your attack
I wonder if anyone was able to get it for $7
I had a couple friends who noticed it at $7 and bought it immediately, so yeah :p
was it supposed to be at $7? that felt kind of strange to see
no that was a mistake
unfortunate... kinda feel bad that I advertised it to friends at $7. Had i known that was unintentional I wouldn't have.
game is great but you know, im an advocate for ensuring people pay reasonable prices for good games :p
worth every penny imo
i got it in like january i think
Hard same some friends saw the price hike in the middle of the sale and went "lmoa no"
BUT ITβS SO WORTH THO

what was the cost before??? I swear to god it was higher than 15
Just wanted to say I'm disappointed with Supergiant for raising the price of a game during a sale. Really, really bad timing on your part and not cool.
It was $20. The regular price has been raised to $25 in light of the massive amount of content that's been added since EA began. It's currently on a $10 discount as part of the sale
You don't raise prices during a sale and before even making an announcement
It's really crappy.
the sale is an epic-store wide event, they didn't plan it
Still, like, tweet or something to let people know you're clearing up a mistake instead of just hiking the price
this is kinda hilarious but
It was $9.99 in my region, so the $10 discount wasn't applied
... huh
after they increased the price
it reached $14.99
so the price knocked down to $4.99
lmao
epic move
Same for me. I didn't realize there were regional differences
The price changes take time to propagate throughout the regions.
The lower price point at the start of the sale was in error. We apologize for any confusion this caused. To customers who picked up the game at a reduced price, thank you for your support, and we hope you enjoy the game!
To everyone else, the corrected sale price is a substantial 25% discount off of the previous $19.99 retail price.
@minor pecan https://i.imgur.com/zys0s8a.png
They seemed to be fine with the pricing like two hours ago.
All of a sudden it changed and they aren't
I am assuming the sale is bringing tons of players
so they are capitalizing on that
but who knows
regardless I just thought it was funny that the price increase caused it to actually decrease for me haha
In retrospect the $7 made no sense bc it didnt match up with other sale prices
Everything else was 50% off
lol at lying to your customers!
Or a straight $10 off
lmao not my circus, not my monkey
Your company even has a tweet implying you're fine with the sale but you raise the price hours later without warning:/
@BubbaSquare That's a possibility but we have to see how the rest of Early Access pans out before we decide for sure. We would announce something like that well in advance if it happened.
You don't see how this would piss people off lol?
w t f
AND THAT TWEET
"well in advance"
Cmon people!
WELL IN ADVANCE!
LOL
Supergiant....cmon.
yeah
:|
@potent silo they tweeted that during the sale
They tweeted they would give people a heads up well in advance during the sale.
Then they raised the price and went back on their word.
yeah
which si why
I think it's due to something unpredictable/unexpected happening during the sale
don't think it's right either, just something I noticed
Well it just looks shady as hell.
they won't go back on their word so easily unless it's something serious is all
not that it's right/not shady
I'm pretty disappointed by this, Supergiant :/
Yeah - I love and preach Supergiant games to get more people into them
But this is a really bad look
I want to be as optimistic as you @potent silo
Really disappointed.
Yeah
The more likely answer is that there was just miscommunication
Now that I look at this
Well then recommunicate it.
And follow your word.
nothing more, nothing less

I mean like a sgg employee posted in here like 5 mins agi
Doesn't clear up raising the base price without warning when they specifically said they'd warn us
Steam actually doesn't allow studios/pubs to change prices mid-sale. The EU Commission actually fined them over their old TOS
Not saying this is Epic's fault
^
Just an observation
uh oh
This seems all sorts of fucky from both epic for apparently not letting devs/pubs know the full extent of this sale and then from supergiant for their knee jerk reaction to permanently raise their gameβs price. Just fucky all around
Right. And they haven't actually said anything about the base price hike, only the 7 dollar mistake
Have you checked #announcements
@warm hornet wasn't a mistake if they actively worked to make the same price happen in Europe just hours ago
it's pretty lame of them to do that in the middle of a sale though
"The advertiser should be especially careful, however, in such a case, that the price is one at which the product was openly and actively offered for sale, for a reasonably substantial period of time, in the recent, regular course of his business, honestly and in good faith - and, of course, not for the purpose of establishing a fictitious higher price on which a deceptive comparison might be based."
Its just poor timing, thomasi
Okay correction: They haven't said anything on twitter, or on the store page, where people who haven't bought the game can see it
There was literally a massive content patch last week
It is poor timing. That's the problem.
@warm hornet They responded to me on Twitter about it, it's just not on their non-replies
my issue is that they increased the price first and announced it later
they should have waited
Good lord, whats happening here
Like I'm willing to believe this wasn't malicious but like, this was so badly thought out
lmao
I waited on buying it because I saw the sale being honored by the company, then I came home and boom, less sale.
nope
it's not just poor timing though. It's purposely raising the price without notice despite saying a few hours earlier they wouldn't do that.
Yeah - on my way home and was going to buy it
As I said on Twitter, I literally added it to my cart, logged into Paypal, and it was $14.99
Until they neutralized the sale and sullied both their good word and the good will potential customers may have had
You still can buy hades fight now for cheaper than release price
The price isn't the point
that's not the point
^
Industry wide
"We would announce something like that well in advance if it happened."
For the people saying the "sale was negated"
It's not just a bad look, it's a bad precedent
And pocketing it
I mean, it brings it up to almost the small sale price they had before Epic did their $10 off
The people still have to pay it, epic just doesn't get it anymore
@warm hornet exactly
They are making money off a sale, which is pretty impressively scummy
It's also, again, illegal in the EU
How long does this sale last, anyway
I don't care if they raise the price, it's their choice. I care they lied about giving us a heads up and did it during a sale, no less. I thought I was safe to wait and come home to buy it
Only to have them do this
that's a long time, oof
14.99 is still a good price, it's not that much, but that's NOT the point.
having gotten it earlier, I'm legit wondering if I should refund it, this is really scummy of them
If they'd raised the price when the content patch came out we would all be totally fine
like that timing made sense
I am more curious about WHY they did this
they must've known there'd be some backlash
They arent a giant company, mistakes happen
they're good at lying about price increases seemingly enough
I dunno how many of you guys were here the time they released patch notes for the first big update way too early
Ya know what this reminds me of
Yeah, they're a supergiant company.
Or the time they accidentally spoiled the patch way in advance
Or the time the link for the storepage didnt work
from the UK advertising standards authority: "Prices used as a basis for comparison should generally have been the most recent price available. An ad for a necklace from Rosee Fine Jewellery was ruled as misleading because the product had not been sold at the stated reference price for at least 12 months immediately prior to the offer (Rosee Fine Jewellery, 14 February 2018)."
I bought this game as fast as I could and I'm still disappointed
yeah, see, but those are mistakes
And they had to try and fix it mid-presentation
The quote from man stabbed image
@livid cargo Dude, there is a huge difference between accidently putting patch notes up early and going against Consumer Protection laws
purposely raising the price isn't a mistake
Also people really shouldnt quote law they dont understand because uh
Yeah
Not how it actually works
all yall defending this, bad look
It's fine to love a company and their games but call out mistakes
^
And that's what we're doing
Defending? Nah, just pointing out that there is a possibility that this is just a mistake or breakdown in communication
Their games are great - this is a shot in the foot though.
if there's a mistake it needs to be owned up to, publically
And frankly, SuperGiant have built more than enough trust for me to take that possibility at face value for now
I meam
Yeah
But
Still bad.
It's like that other meme
'Cool motive, still murder'
how do you accidentally raise the base price mid sale and then put out information backing up your price increase? this was clearly though out
'Nice reasoning, still illegal in the EU.'
Again
the only possible mistake would be the person saying they'd give us advanced notice if they raised the base price
Not how that law actually works
I dont think supergiant intended for it to turn out this way at all
And that shouldn't be a mistake
Honestly, I'm a huge fan of supergiant games having bought all their games and it makes this feel worse to me
My guess? They thought the price increase was already in effect but it was delayed or something
they had tweets talking about the price just earlier today though
Why would they tweet out the "buy it for 7 dollars" then?
they actually changed the price in EU to better help the sale
Went up like half an hour to an hour early, no?
it would've made sense if they increased the price during the most recent update, not during a sale
Then tell us that. We can sit here speculating all we want, but the fact remains that the twitter account only says "we will not increase the price without warning"
They had tweets confirming there was no raise in price in sight @fiery pebble
they didn't @fiery pebble . If they did it would still have the original discount of 10%
They fixed it mid-reveal
@scarlet iris wait are you serious
they removed their discount entirely
I thought the epic store page went up pre reveal
What they should do, is put it back it back to the price it was a few hours ago and apologize for the miscommunication via their social media. Do it for a few days, give the people that took your social media account at its word, a chance to catch up.
But the website link was down
But they won't.
Yeah, no, that's definitely how it was
I dont remember, all I know is something wasnt working how it should
I think right now they should revert the price increase and raise it after The sale ends. Look at Shovel Knight right now
A link in the trailer wasnt doing what it was supposed to do
Yeah, that was the latter portion of it
Whatever the specifics of that were
Revert the price for a few days, tell people how many days and give everyone a proper heads up.
But the page went live before it was revealed and they were panicking it would leak
Right
But yeah - still sucks to see a dev you love mess up this badly
:/
Knowing the internet mob, I dont think people would see it as making things right
You'd be surprised
I mean....I think a lot of people would appreciate it.
But is The least they can do
Assuming it was a good enough fix
I never expected this kind of thing from Supergiant tbh. Makes it feel much worse
I would be surprised
"People will complain anyways so they should double down on their mistake"
Because precedent after precedent has shown it wouldnt happen
Other devs even retired their games from The EGS
Nah, but just doing an equally hasty backpedalling aint the solution either
itβs a mess right now
Hasty backpedalling is better than "/shrug guess we'll keep taking in this scummy money"
Again: By changing their price they are making money from this sale
Again, if they were going to drop the price after the sale was over, then it'd be 100% illegal for obvious reasons. If the price rise is permanent and if it was only an error that it didn't show up at the beginning of the sale, then it doesn't seem to violate any EU consumer ...
it is how the law works
Both US and UK laws outlined in link
Then how does it work, UNOvven? You keep saying that but you aren't elaborating like at all
Can you explain how the law works, if you're just going to keep saying "That's not how it works?"
Simple, what the guideline says is that you cant say "its X% off" and compare it to the old sale
Or rather, price
Theyre not doing that
there's a reason why valve doesn't allow devs/pubs to change prices during a sale, they got sued for that
Base price was raised mid sale, therefore its never been offered at that price without a sale before, making the sale price inflated from what it previously was
True
Dude
I know because a game I was looking at did that
They have
Please learn what you are talking about before you try arguing about it
Steamworks: "You may not change your price while a promotion is live."
How hard is it to google "steam consumer protection"
Either way, all they have to do is readjust it and apologize. Leave it at this price for a few days. Super simple stuff, really.
It would go a long way in getting people to calm down.
Also, back to the law, note the last paragraph
I think that is The best solution now. An apology, a grace period and then the raise
Its still a genuine bargain/sale that lowers the price by a noticable amount
Also
Shovel Knight is The best example
Ontop of the other details, it does not break that law
'It's not illegal, it's just really sh*tty.'
Is a bad hill to die on dude, even if you end up being right.
It will raise soon but it discounted before it
Also the only thing I could find about "steam consumer protection" and some lawsuit
Was something about refunds
in spain its very illegal
Which is a totally different thing
Mediamarkt was sued in Spain for that i think
you can lose a lot of money with that move
Most likely they were sued for what the law actually covers
yeah
because they raise the prices before the discounts
Well, a lot of reasons actually
Congrats man - you tired me out, have fun with defending this until they apologize
The law does not prohibit increasing the price close to a sale. It prohibits falsely comparing it to old prices that werent factual (it doesnt) or otherwise misleading the consumer into thinking he is getting a bargain when he isnt (Which they arent)
Regardless of the legal implications, this is not a great look for Supergiant. And trying to stan for them while this is happening is a bold move is a bit sad.
Omg dude
Can you read what you just typed
This does not fall under it
It wasn't an old price
It was a price it was never offered at
Because it happened during the sale
fake price
Aka a non factual price
Its a price its offered at right now
And theyre only comparing it to the current price
No
It's saying it's a sale off a price (the base price) it was never available for
it was never offered for $24.99 before the sale
ok so what I think happened was the sale started today right? and today SGG was planning on releasing this last patch right? This patch today fixed up the last major update and they are moving on to the next one with a brake between. They probably already planned to up the price today now that they felt like the major update was cleaned up to their standards. Then the sale hit and either Epic didn't change it right away for cause they were already having price issues the messed it up. But i have faith in SGG that this wasn't done maliciously and was 100% a miscommunication.
It's price at $7 was a mistake from what I've seen looking at this chat throughout the day and that's backed up by there announcement at 6:30 about the sale and price change unless i missed something major.
I 100% get the annoyance here and wanting to point this out but you guys really haven't give SGG time to react yet and this is kind of turning into just a really nasty discussion.
please chill a little guys and give them some time
