With all the respect...but why? People here voted for combat v2, and you disregarded all the 149 people that voted to go with the 5 people on patreon, i'm not saying that you are wrong, in the end they that are paying the bills, but i feel like even if people said something about this, and a single guy on patreon said something different, you will go with him and don't give a fuck about what the people here said.
It's still potentially useful feedback. Knowing what the majority of people prefer doesn't force you go along with that, and it can help inform decisions that aren't directly related as well.
I should mention, the from what I've heard a lot of random people will just click whatever sounds better without any experience on the matter or before even downloading the game. People see "V2 or new" and immediately vote for that. The voting on here is probably heavily inaccurate compared to what people really want that have tried both.
The main factor on changing was that I didn't like the old system anymore, it was a chore to code and test because I was bored of it. With the new system I am having fun again.
That is the old system. Later today 0.4.1 will release for all patrons and I will update here to 0.4, that is the version with the new combat system. There is an old demo if you want to have an idea of what it looks like and not wait until later today.
After taking a look, you are right, both willpower and agility primary stat don't work until you reach 20. For the Recover it is slightly changed, the math goes from 250% WILL to 10+200%LEVEL+100%WILL, if you got willpower primary just to get to this faster or reach it only at high level you should be healing just a little less but for those investing heavly into willpower it will be a bigger nerf.
Dammit, I fixed this bug in 0.4.1, apparently I forgot to fix it here too. Both the level 3 and level 7 from chaotic essence had this bug. The comfirmation name is wrong but you get the right skill by choosing it, I don't remember if you can use rollback during it, if you can that will solve the other problem while I wait to see if more bugs appear before releasing a bugfix.
Yes, your options are pulled from your "deck", you can change your deck and you get new option every three turns, there are also feats that make you draw more options, give you the ability to reroll them, increase the odds of drawing a skill or even ensures you will get a skill.
Yeah, I've gone through some more fights and understand how the system works now. I still hate it. And apparently Auriel has some kind of instant win move now? That's something. I would like to thank you for the enjoyment your game has given me prior to this point. The setting, story and characters have been great and I was really looking forward too seeing how they developed. However, given how frequent and unavoidable combat is, this is no longer a game for me. Thank you again for everything, it's been a blast.
