That was a joke about how he never met his teen war criminal son

Man I almost lost my streak with the first run through with thesus

#

i loved zag's response to hades' "that hydra had a family" too

#

basically "so did i"

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

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

olive jungle
#

she's good at her job

timber topaz
#

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

prisma wind
#

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)

jolly lodge
#

at this point we could propose the furies and the subjective difficulty as a personally test

prisma wind
#

In my experience Meg is still the easiest. Tissy gives me more trouble depending on the weapon, but Alecto I can usually consistently beat

timber topaz
#

Hmm... I think somebody was talking about how Meg got way harder on high heat specifically because of her allies getting buffed?

asterius sure is a beefcake 😍

#

Finally! I beat the Elysium boss haha

void vigil
#

congratz!!

outer flare
#

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

pastel nacelle
#

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

#

yes please give me the ability to murder myself faster

prisma wind
#

Chaos is very generous like that

radiant tangle
#

Have we tested yet whether that works with revenge boons?

I don't want no maimed strike
I want maiming strike

worthy dagger
#

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

hexed smelt
#

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

worthy dagger
#

i mean in the house

#

to chat

#

idk i wanna progress her social link but she wont show

amber garden
#

She only appears in the house if you defeat her during the run.

worthy dagger
#

really now

#

interesting

void vigil
#

^ that, and even then she sometimes won’t

worthy dagger
#

she's elusive indeed

hexed smelt
#

and sometimes she's busy talking to someone else

prisma wind
#

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

Actually does Zag even sleep?

#

Or is he on his 250th day of staying awake to get out

Everytime he goes through the river Styx his brain wakes up from sleep I guess

hey are posiden boons bad? they feel bad

void vigil
#

not really?

#

theyre pretty fun

prisma wind
#

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

void vigil
#

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

fiery pebble
#

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

void vigil
#

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

fiery pebble
#

Best way of putting it is that Poseidon has his own niche

oblique ivy
#

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

Epic is having me re-sign in to my account for some reasons and I can't find my password anywhere.

tulip lava
#

rip, at least resetting password is pretty easy

prisma wind
#

It does that to me occasionally too, I think it might have a timeout on remembering your login

tulip locust
#

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 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

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

wooden quartz
#

@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 ❌ 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

pastel nacelle
#

whomstve

#

oh

wooden quartz
#

im curious as to why others do not like the idea of a slight degree of camera control

pastel nacelle
#

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

wooden quartz
#

i don't see why that matters, you can still add camera controls to a kbm setup

pastel nacelle
#

ok so

#

how would you even add it

wooden quartz
#

but understood on the second point

pastel nacelle
#

you have the left stick/WASD for movement

#

and the right stick/mouse for aiming

wooden quartz
#

right stick doesn't aim on controller

prisma wind
#

Pretty sure mouse already has a light panning feature, if I recall correctly

pastel nacelle
#

how tf do you aim on controller then

wooden quartz
#

yeah mouse already offers panning

prisma wind
#

Aim = Move

wooden quartz
#

^

pastel nacelle
#

that's gross as hell

wooden quartz
#

its the way it is

pastel nacelle
#

it shouldn't be

wooden quartz
#

and the way it's been on every SG game

prisma wind
#

A long time ago I left feedback (I think?) about making the controls twin stick (or having the option for it)

pastel nacelle
#

well I've never played a sg game with a gamepad

wooden quartz
#

i think an option is the best

pastel nacelle
#

the last time I plugged my dualshock into my computer was for dead cells a few months ago

wooden quartz
#

i like one stick though

pastel nacelle
#

god that just feels clunky for me

wooden quartz
#

makes things easy peasy and holding the controller comfortable

pastel nacelle
#

what's the right stick used for?

prisma wind
#

Default right now is R3 for reload, but that's it

wooden quartz
#

nothing rn

pastel nacelle
#

ok that's

#

exceptionally dumb

prisma wind
#

I remapped mine to L3, however

pastel nacelle
#

you have two sticks
two inputs
and two actions
but both actions are only bound to one input

wooden quartz
#

same here lol @prisma wind

prisma wind
#

'cause I don't like moving my thumb off the buttons to reload

wooden quartz
#

by default all actions are on button pad

pastel nacelle
#

maybe it's more intuitive to actually use but

wooden quartz
#

so aiming and firing wouldn't work

pastel nacelle
#

as someone who uses exclusively kbm
it sounds janky as heck

prisma wind
#

It's really not that bad

pastel nacelle
#

shrug

#

throw dual stick in the options

prisma wind
#

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 🚫 it. It was honestly a long time ago, though

pastel nacelle
#

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

wooden quartz
#

not really, analog movement not being a thing is an issue for a lot of games

#

it's a tradeoff

pastel nacelle
#

sure you can prefer a gamepad and there's nothing wrong with that

solid canopy
#

not for games like kh

pastel nacelle
#

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

prisma wind
#

If you were hardcore you could use mouse and gamepad at the same time squirtdevious

pastel nacelle
#

and throw in a VR headset

wooden quartz
#

honestly when i play with kbm, usually i use some dinky onehand bluetooth controller with an analog stick for movement and such

pastel nacelle
#

don't talk to me if you don't use a fisher price piano to play

wooden quartz
#

and map most important lefthand buttons there

#

then map secondary buttons to the KB

solid canopy
#

i use kbm for shooters n stuff

pastel nacelle
#

my best friend plays warframe with a gamepad
I think she's actually mental

solid canopy
#

i think it's just up to preference

pastel nacelle
#

but this is diverging from hades

hexed smelt
#

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

prisma wind
#

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 squirtheh

pastel nacelle
#

also I just remembered but

#

where them vocal tracks at

prisma wind
#

What do you mean?

pastel nacelle
#

songs with vocals

prisma wind
#

There are 2 already

pastel nacelle
#

aka something sgg is really really good at

#

there are?

prisma wind
#

Have you been neglecting ||Orpheus||?

pastel nacelle
#

I don't talk to him if there's no exclamation above his head

prisma wind
#

Gifting, I mean

pastel nacelle
#

I trade ambrosia for keys

prisma wind
#

Well, if you want the songs, you have to ||give gifts to Orpheus||

solid canopy
#

most lore comes from ambrosia gifting

#

and other nifty things

pastel nacelle
#

I mean like

prisma wind
#

Or you can just listen to them on Youtube

pastel nacelle
#

I know greek myth
so lore hunting wasn't really a priority

olive jungle
#

...you know it's like...not a myth retelling right

prisma wind
#

Or spotify, or wherever

olive jungle
#

like the game has its own narrative

pastel nacelle
#

I mean most of it's based on the myths
and there's really not a story at the moment

prisma wind
#

There's quite a bit of story πŸ˜›

pastel nacelle
#

"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"

prisma wind
#

Most of it is unlocked by progressing your relationship with characters

#

There's a lot of interpersonal stuff

pastel nacelle
#

that's not story tho

#

that's just character interactions

solid canopy
#

i think that's an oversimplification

pastel nacelle
#

they're great, don't get me wrong

#

I ain't gay but I'd marry zag, I love him to bits

prisma wind
#

Anyway, you know what is required now for in-game vocals

pastel nacelle
#

I mean that's basically what the story is, key
it only really progresses when zag sneaks around at night

solid canopy
#

there's an overarching narrative, but there's stories between characters

#

lmao

pastel nacelle
#

now I gotta type all that poop again

#

don't you delete my ree

alpine stratus
#

hi- we try to treat 'ree' here like other kinds of curses or slurs, because of its negative connotations with autistic people

pastel nacelle
#

:v

#

I've never heard that but ok

alpine stratus
#

yeah, it's got connotations of making fun of meltdowns! thanks for understanding, and carry on w your hadestalk zaglaugh

pastel nacelle
#

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

prisma wind
#

Then you should advance their relationship to get that juice

solid canopy
#

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

pastel nacelle
#

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

hexed smelt
#

did you not... wonder what the rest of the hearts were for

pastel nacelle
#

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

hexed smelt
#

or all these handy dandy bottles of ambrosia the game gives you, or the gift prompts that came up before you spoke to people

pastel nacelle
#

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

wooden quartz
#

@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?

tidal abyss
#

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

amber garden
#

Spear and shield bros are the bane of my existence.

tidal abyss
#

I think spears are pretty ok, shields are a way to overpowered, archer's arrow needs to be more visible in my opinion

amber garden
#

My problem with Spears is with pact. Increased attack speed makes them lethal.

#

So kind of self inflicted I guess lol

tidal abyss
#

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)

amber garden
#

Ah sorry. The pact of punishment.

tidal abyss
#

Haaa, yeah, alright

prisma wind
#

Pact is from Hades, technically, but yeah. Whipped Frenzy makes the enemies attack and movement speed faster

tidal abyss
#

Indeed it's like a kind of masochism

wispy zealot
#

Guess who just submitted their first bug report πŸ’ͺ

tidal abyss
#

(I maybe have 50hours of playing, but I never use the Pact of punishment yet, so that's also why I did not understood)

prisma wind
#

It's entirely optional, so no worries if that's not your desire

tidal abyss
#

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

prisma wind
#

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

amber garden
#

I just want to uncover those dang tarps haha

tidal abyss
#

I totally understand that, but in my opinion there should be something else as reward, like new things to unlock

amber garden
#

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

tidal abyss
#

That's right

prisma wind
#

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

tidal abyss
#

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

amber garden
#

I forgot about Erebus

#

You get some voice lines from using the pact as well

tidal abyss
#

Guess I'm gonna use it now, because I want to see the Ereberus challenge room πŸ˜ƒ

amber garden
#

It's pretty barebones, but worth seeing.

#

I like it because it's an alternate exit that might have a more valuable reward.

prisma wind
#

Ha ha best of luck! It can be fun, but also frustrating. Don't start too high! But remember you need minimum 25 heat active to access the Erebus challenge in Tartarus

tidal abyss
#

Yeah !, thx for the informations and advices guys

amber garden
#

Good luck!

#

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

wooden quartz
#

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

prisma wind
#

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

pastel nacelle
#

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

prisma wind

i am loving the new song for elysium

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?

olive jungle
#

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

crystal pecan
#

okay so relaunch the game and hit F10?

Yep

cool

Sadly it was on the current final boss!

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?)

jolly lodge
#

"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.

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

tidal abyss
#

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

mystic basin
#

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

olive jungle
#

They tweaked auto-aim for controllers recently

#

I had noticed the bow felt a little different when I picked up the new patch

mystic basin
#

Would that affect keyboard/mouse players too, or was it only for gamepads?

olive jungle
#

Ah, it was only for gamepads πŸ€”

#

Might have been some hitbox changes?

mystic basin
#

The mystery yet remains

sterile peak
#

yeah it's fine on k+m

#

at least for me

mystic basin
#

In fairness, I only really noticed this in elysium

granite pecan
#

yeah i tried heavy slug once and it was absurdly hard to aim anything

mystic basin
#

Okay, that makes me feel a touch better then

granite pecan
#

i'm on kb + m and i found it impossible to land a shot

mystic basin
#

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

granite pecan
#

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

mystic basin
#

Which is all well and good, but my build revolved around a dash attack

#

:(

granite pecan
#

same. my whole playstyle revolves around dash attacking

mystic basin
#

+30% damage to distant foes, so it felt like a total waste to have to go point blank to even deal any damage

prisma wind
#

Hmmm, the aiming has been quite good with Heavy Slug on gamepad, I've found...

#

But autoaim probably helps significantly with that

mystic basin
#

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

prisma wind
#

I'd check the feedback channel to see if anyone has left feedback on it, and if not, leave one yourself

mystic basin
#

Shall do after this run

#

Probably indicate that it's for KBM that you're experiencing problems

#

I was going to be really curious about that being a thing for a minute there... XD

mystic basin
#

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

Isn't she being a bit too mean here

solid canopy
#

well, she's still an olympian

#

they're all pretty dickish

#

she is cooler than most though

#

haha

olive jungle
#

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?

topaz kayak
#

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?

olive jungle
#

I always figured the Olympians might not consider Nyx a "proper" goddess

#

Zeus talks down about her

topaz kayak
#

rude

solid canopy
#

i guess because nyx isn't olympian?

olive jungle
#

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

topaz kayak
#

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

olive jungle
#

It's like there's a bad connection

#

No wifi in the underworld

topaz kayak
#

mm, I buy that

olive jungle
#

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

topaz kayak
#

heh, I guess that's fair

solid canopy
#

yeah yeah i think it works like that too\

topaz kayak
#

"This is for you!" drinks it himself

#

"Pourin' one out for my boy Zeus"

olive jungle
#

and presumably the gods can send him keepsakes the same way they grant him boons

topaz kayak
#

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."

olive jungle

i like that zag finally makes a comment about that fkfjgfd that's probably moving into spoilers territory though

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?

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?

timber topaz
#

Might want to ask that in gameplay

#

But short answer yes

granite pecan
#

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

radiant star
#

theres health jars what ?! wish i knew sooner XD

#

thanks man

timber topaz

Fairly small heals, but definitely worthwhile.

@urban oracle it's around $5 now in Epic Games store, there is no reason not to buy it.

But I've had a great deal of fun

#

I'm 200 runs deep, and still having fun

there's three zones already, a ton of different enemies, and a lot of characters and plot that happens with them

crude saffron
#

Yes, it was $20, then dropped to $7 a week ago, now it's like $5, get it already xD

timber topaz
#

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.

granite pecan
#

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

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.

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.

#

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.

olive jungle
#

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

whole current
#

You don't raise prices during a sale and before even making an announcement

#

It's really crappy.

tulip lava
#

the sale is an epic-store wide event, they didn't plan it

warm hornet
#

Still, like, tweet or something to let people know you're clearing up a mistake instead of just hiking the price

#

Yup.

#

Just pissed off a lot of possible fans this way.

#

and current fans.

potent silo
#

this is kinda hilarious but

#

It was $9.99 in my region, so the $10 discount wasn't applied

warm hornet
#

... huh

potent silo
#

after they increased the price

#

it reached $14.99

#

so the price knocked down to $4.99

#

lmao

#

epic move

warm hornet
#

Same for me. I didn't realize there were regional differences

minor pecan

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.

#

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

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.

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

Steam actually doesn't allow studios/pubs to change prices mid-sale. The EU Commission actually fined them over their old TOS

Just an observation

obsidian shale
#

uh oh

#
warm hornet
#

Right. And they haven't actually said anything about the base price hike, only the 7 dollar mistake

livid cargo
lament oriole
#

@warm hornet wasn't a mistake if they actively worked to make the same price happen in Europe just hours ago

scarlet iris
#

it's pretty lame of them to do that in the middle of a sale though

obsidian shale
#

"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

#

Good lord, whats happening here

warm hornet
#

Like I'm willing to believe this wasn't malicious but like, this was so badly thought out

potent silo
#

lmao

obsidian shale
#

I waited on buying it because I saw the sale being honored by the company, then I came home and boom, less sale.

potent silo
#

nope

thorn plover
#

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.

potent silo
#

yeah

#

that sucks

wraith cedar
#

Yeah - on my way home and was going to buy it

hallow grove
#

As I said on Twitter, I literally added it to my cart, logged into Paypal, and it was $14.99

wraith cedar
#

Until they neutralized the sale and sullied both their good word and the good will potential customers may have had

livid cargo
#

You still can buy hades fight now for cheaper than release price

warm hornet
#

The price isn't the point

whole current
#

That's not the point ..

#

Yeah...

lament oriole
#

that's not the point

wraith cedar
#

^

warm hornet
#

Industry wide

obsidian shale
#

"We would announce something like that well in advance if it happened."

livid cargo
#

For the people saying the "sale was negated"

wraith cedar
#

It was though

#

They're taking advantage of epic contributing 10

warm hornet
#

It's not just a bad look, it's a bad precedent

wraith cedar
#

And pocketing it

thorn plover
#

I mean, it brings it up to almost the small sale price they had before Epic did their $10 off

wraith cedar
#

The people still have to pay it, epic just doesn't get it anymore

obsidian shale
#

@warm hornet exactly

hallow grove
#

They are making money off a sale, which is pretty impressively scummy

wraith cedar
#

It's also, again, illegal in the EU

scarlet iris
#

How long does this sale last, anyway

whole current
#

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

potent silo
#

till june 13 iirc

#

@scarlet iris

scarlet iris
#

that's a long time, oof

whole current
#

14.99 is still a good price, it's not that much, but that's NOT the point.

potent silo
#

yeah

#

the point is the thing they promised

thorn plover
#

having gotten it earlier, I'm legit wondering if I should refund it, this is really scummy of them

warm hornet
#

If they'd raised the price when the content patch came out we would all be totally fine

potent silo
#

nah

#

Well

warm hornet
#

like that timing made sense

wraith cedar
#

Yeah

#

They're good at communicating updates

potent silo
#

I am more curious about WHY they did this

#

they must've known there'd be some backlash

wraith cedar
#

Just not price increases

#

How convenient

livid cargo
#

They arent a giant company, mistakes happen

potent silo
#

they wouldn't do it for no reason

#

perhaps

#

an apology almost seems warranted now

thorn plover
#

they're good at lying about price increases seemingly enough

livid cargo
#

I dunno how many of you guys were here the time they released patch notes for the first big update way too early

wraith cedar
#

Ya know what this reminds me of

brisk trail
#

Yeah, they're a supergiant company.

fiery pebble
#

Or the time they accidentally spoiled the patch way in advance

#

Or the time the link for the storepage didnt work

obsidian shale
#

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)."

scarlet iris
#

I bought this game as fast as I could and I'm still disappointed

thorn plover
#

yeah, see, but those are mistakes

fiery pebble
#

And they had to try and fix it mid-presentation

wraith cedar
#

The quote from man stabbed image

hallow grove
#

@livid cargo Dude, there is a huge difference between accidently putting patch notes up early and going against Consumer Protection laws

thorn plover
#

purposely raising the price isn't a mistake

wraith cedar
#

'What will we do, raise prices?'

#
  • Quote from company that raised prices
fiery pebble
#

Also people really shouldnt quote law they dont understand because uh

#

Yeah

#

Not how it actually works

obsidian shale
#

all yall defending this, bad look

potent silo
#

Chill dudes

#

calm down

#

no need to get heated

#

yet atleast

wraith cedar
#

It's fine to love a company and their games but call out mistakes

warm hornet
#

^

wraith cedar
#

And that's what we're doing

fiery pebble
#

Defending? Nah, just pointing out that there is a possibility that this is just a mistake or breakdown in communication

warm hornet
#

We are well aware

#

but

wraith cedar
#

Their games are great - this is a shot in the foot though.

warm hornet
#

if there's a mistake it needs to be owned up to, publically

fiery pebble
#

And frankly, SuperGiant have built more than enough trust for me to take that possibility at face value for now

wraith cedar
#

I meam

#

Yeah

#

But

#

Still bad.

#

It's like that other meme

#

'Cool motive, still murder'

thorn plover
#

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

wraith cedar
#

'Nice reasoning, still illegal in the EU.'

fiery pebble
#

Again

thorn plover
#

the only possible mistake would be the person saying they'd give us advanced notice if they raised the base price

fiery pebble
#

Not how that law actually works

livid cargo
#

I dont think supergiant intended for it to turn out this way at all

thorn plover
#

And that shouldn't be a mistake

warm hornet
#

I definitely believe that Max

#

But it still did

scarlet iris
#

Honestly, I'm a huge fan of supergiant games having bought all their games and it makes this feel worse to me

fiery pebble
#

My guess? They thought the price increase was already in effect but it was delayed or something

wraith cedar
#

Nah

#

Epic is fast if anything

#

Remember the reveal?

thorn plover
#

they had tweets talking about the price just earlier today though

scarlet iris
#

Why would they tweet out the "buy it for 7 dollars" then?

thorn plover
#

they actually changed the price in EU to better help the sale

wraith cedar
#

Went up like half an hour to an hour early, no?

thin gate
#

it would've made sense if they increased the price during the most recent update, not during a sale

warm hornet
#

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"

fiery pebble
#

Nah, it wasnt up when it shouldve been

#

Epic did move fast then though

lament oriole
#

They had tweets confirming there was no raise in price in sight @fiery pebble

tawdry flower
#

they didn't @fiery pebble . If they did it would still have the original discount of 10%

fiery pebble
#

They fixed it mid-reveal

warm hornet
#

@scarlet iris wait are you serious

tawdry flower
#

they removed their discount entirely

wraith cedar
#

I thought the epic store page went up pre reveal

whole current
#

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.

wraith cedar
#

But the website link was down

whole current
#

But they won't.

wraith cedar
#

Yeah, no, that's definitely how it was

fiery pebble
#

I dont remember, all I know is something wasnt working how it should

hot cargo
#

I think right now they should revert the price increase and raise it after The sale ends. Look at Shovel Knight right now

fiery pebble
#

A link in the trailer wasnt doing what it was supposed to do

wraith cedar
#

Yeah, that was the latter portion of it

fiery pebble
#

Whatever the specifics of that were

whole current
#

Revert the price for a few days, tell people how many days and give everyone a proper heads up.

wraith cedar
#

But the page went live before it was revealed and they were panicking it would leak

whole current
#

Change it back to regular price after.

#

That would make things right imo.

warm hornet
#

Right

wraith cedar
#

But yeah - still sucks to see a dev you love mess up this badly

warm hornet
#

:/

fiery pebble
#

Knowing the internet mob, I dont think people would see it as making things right

wraith cedar
#

You'd be surprised

warm hornet
#

Oh my god dude

#

seriously?

whole current
#

I mean....I think a lot of people would appreciate it.

hot cargo
#

But is The least they can do

wraith cedar
#

Assuming it was a good enough fix

thorn plover
#

I never expected this kind of thing from Supergiant tbh. Makes it feel much worse

fiery pebble
#

I would be surprised

warm hornet
#

"People will complain anyways so they should double down on their mistake"

fiery pebble
#

Because precedent after precedent has shown it wouldnt happen

hot cargo
#

Other devs even retired their games from The EGS

fiery pebble
#

Nah, but just doing an equally hasty backpedalling aint the solution either

hot cargo
#

Like Klei and Paradox

#

During the sale

wraith cedar
#

O lol

#

It breaks FTC guidelines too

scarlet iris
#

it’s a mess right now

warm hornet
#

Hasty backpedalling is better than "/shrug guess we'll keep taking in this scummy money"

fiery pebble
#

I know Ive said this before

#

But that is still not how that law works

hallow grove
#

Again: By changing their price they are making money from this sale

wraith cedar
#
tawdry flower
#

it is how the law works

wraith cedar
#

Both US and UK laws outlined in link

warm hornet
#

Then how does it work, UNOvven? You keep saying that but you aren't elaborating like at all

hallow grove
#

Can you explain how the law works, if you're just going to keep saying "That's not how it works?"

fiery pebble
#

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

wraith cedar
#

No

#

It says you can't say it's x% off a price you never offered it for before

scarlet iris
#

there's a reason why valve doesn't allow devs/pubs to change prices during a sale, they got sued for that

wraith cedar
#

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

hot cargo
#

True

fiery pebble
#

Uh, unless they changed it last year or so

#

You definitely can do that on steam

hallow grove
#

Dude

fiery pebble
#

I know because a game I was looking at did that

wraith cedar
#

They have

hallow grove
#

Please learn what you are talking about before you try arguing about it

fiery pebble
#

See, I cant find anything about it

#

Got a link for them changing it?

obsidian shale
hallow grove
#

How hard is it to google "steam consumer protection"

whole current
#

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.

fiery pebble
#

Also, back to the law, note the last paragraph

hot cargo
#

I think that is The best solution now. An apology, a grace period and then the raise

fiery pebble
#

Its still a genuine bargain/sale that lowers the price by a noticable amount

wraith cedar
#

Also

hot cargo
#

Shovel Knight is The best example

fiery pebble
#

Ontop of the other details, it does not break that law

wraith cedar
#

'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.

hot cargo
#

It will raise soon but it discounted before it

fiery pebble
#

Also the only thing I could find about "steam consumer protection" and some lawsuit

#

Was something about refunds

atomic fiber
#

in spain its very illegal

fiery pebble
#

Which is a totally different thing

hot cargo
#

Mediamarkt was sued in Spain for that i think

atomic fiber
#

you can lose a lot of money with that move

fiery pebble
#

Most likely they were sued for what the law actually covers

atomic fiber
#

yeah

fiery pebble
#

I.E., what it outlines

#

I.E. not what this is

#

Law is very specific for a reason

atomic fiber
#

because they raise the prices before the discounts

fiery pebble
#

Well, a lot of reasons actually

wraith cedar
#

Congrats man - you tired me out, have fun with defending this until they apologize

fiery pebble
#

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)

thorn plover
#

also @fiery pebble , how long did you look for the steam discount thing?

whole current
#

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.

wraith cedar
#

Omg dude

fiery pebble
#

So whatever argument you have otherwise

#

The law is very clear

wraith cedar
#

Can you read what you just typed

fiery pebble
#

This does not fall under it

wraith cedar
#

It wasn't an old price

#

It was a price it was never offered at

#

Because it happened during the sale

obsidian shale
#

fake price

wraith cedar
#

Aka a non factual price

fiery pebble
#

Its a price its offered at right now

#

And theyre only comparing it to the current price

wraith cedar
#

No

fiery pebble
#

And its still a genuine sale

#

Aka, falls under no part of the law

wraith cedar
#

It's saying it's a sale off a price (the base price) it was never available for

obsidian shale
#

it was never offered for $24.99 before the sale

rotund finch
#

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 ron
