Title: Igynpadca Single-Player Game
Post by: Kadzar on September 24, 2015, 06:33:39 pm
Hey, guys! I'm sorry I haven't been as active in the Igynpadca thread as I have in the past, but I haven't really been playing the game much. My life has gotten a lot more busy lately, so I don't really have time for MMOs.

But I hear Generic Game Company has started a spin-off single-player version. Has anyone heard anything about it?

Yeah, the rumors seems to be confirmed. http://www.genericgamecompany.com/Igynpadca/single-player/

Dunno how it can stand up to the MMO, but we will see.

I take it from the steam lobster that this takes place before the MMO? It just makes me worried that they are going to end up ret-coning a lot of the lore...

Yeah, looking at the dev page, the game apparently takes place during the Time of Spiders, which has often been hinted at in-game but never really fleshed out that much.

And the devs say they'll avoid problems with ret-conning by making all the important NPCs turn out to be clones.

But didn't the Age of Arachnids happen in a separate timeline in a parallel 'verse anyway? Or are we talking about different time periods?

Quote from: Vladimir Ivanov, Creative Director of GGC Russia
We fully intend to revolutionize localization by making the different languages wholly different experiences. Our version, for example, is situated on the peninsula of Gavol instead of the archipelago of Tarcatinca.
I'm not so sure how much I like this. To me it seems they just want to make more money by selling the same game with minor changes to those fans who would buy every game and paraphernalia.

Nonono, at max level, you can make a black hole harness and restart in the Age of Arachnids in the MMO.
But I think in an interview one of the developers mentioned an "alternate alternate universe."

You seem to be a bit confused. The Time of Spiders is totally different from the Age of Arachnids. For one thing, it involved way less scorpions. Also

Title: Re: Igynpadca Single-Player Game
Post by: PTTG?? on September 25, 2015, 10:31:43 am
Closed Beta. You needed to preorder the game five years ago (while it was still in secret development) to get into it now. My policy of sending $50 to random game companies every few months finally paid off.

That sounds like something that ought to be made into a pet or familiar or whatever they're going to call them, actually. I haven't seen this bug in action, since I'm not in the closed beta, but are you sure it's not an intentional feature?
Title: Re: Igynpadca Single-Player Game
Post by: helmacon on September 25, 2015, 05:32:50 pm
At the end of the 3rd quest line you can make a waffle dog, so waffles are actually classed as canine. Before they fixed it, waffles used to follow you if you put syrup on them cause you were technically feeding them. I haven't updated to the latest patch yet cause I don't want to loose my waffle pack.

I got the game in the mail. Apparently I was chosen for the random pre-release testing. I also got this survey that came with it, but I need to deliver tomorrow and I don't have time to play the game. What should I write them?

Code: [Select]
Please fill out this survey so that we can take your opinion into consideration:
What is your favorite part in the main questline?

What is your favorite aspect of the game?

What things (if any) should we remove to provide a better experience?

Would you like there to be multiplayer features added to the game?


Thank you for your opinion! We hope you enjoy the pre-release version of Igynpadca!

No idea. But I just saw this tweet from Jangles:

Looks like there will be zebras in the game.

Remember that useless Comically Undersized Equine White Paint Roller of the Klan-Khan in the MMO? Looks like we're going to get some use of it. UV-horses are less dangerous than zebras, I'd presume.

Well, it turns out that the envelope had no return address, so I didnt know where to send.

UV-horses are less dangerous than zebras, I'd presume.
Zebras aren't that hard to fight or ride if you choose the Dark Knight class In fact, they make better riding horses than Nightmares! (I just figured this out and I'm so psyched!)
Title: Re: Igynpadca Single-Player Game
Post by: IcyTea31 on September 26, 2015, 02:49:11 pm
But isn't Riding(Equine) is a cross-class skill for Dark Knights? Shouldn't you use Riding(Chiroptine) instead?
Title: Re: Igynpadca Single-Player Game
Post by: Tomasque on September 27, 2015, 01:12:02 am
Not if you wear the Ring of Aggrandizing Darkness, which makes all things with even the slightest dark element (such as zebras) be counted as fully dark creatures for purposes of interaction. As you might recall, any action towards a dark object is considered proficient for a Dark Knight. I don't know why they didn't catch that, but I sure as hell am not going to tell them about it.

So, the Open Beta/Early Access is finally out, and boy, is it fun. I chose the Neighcrowmancer class for my first character, even though it required me to make my character a White Three-Legged Raven-Horse.

I'm at the 57th quest of the main questline, and stuck, so I could use some help. How do I convince the Skeleton with an Upside Down Head (Yes, That's Its Name (Yes, Even the Parentheses)) to give me the Lingonberry Key? An earlier NPC told me the SUDH(YTIN(YEP)) likes blackberries, but I don't have neither any fruit nor consumer electronics on me, except the mePhone 24.6.

You could do the freaky functions sidequest like NJW said, or you could grind it in the Very Berry Mountains. Good thing you're a Neighcrowmancer, there are a lot of mobs that can be dealt with easily thanks to your AoE spells.

Yeah, but if you play a toxicity build, it's not super-viable unless you have Herbalism-3 unlocked. That's my two cents, at least.

True, but as long as you make sure your rings are at least Fluffy-tier, then the mana regen is quick enough that Herbalism-2 can be spammed to clear the mobs.

Not to mention, the MMO's economy is so utterly inflated that money is useless. People now use "hats" as currency, which is completely stupid since they don't do anything except make your character a bigger target to HatHunters.

And it's rumours, but the lack of patches might be coz they're working overtime just to push out dlc. Don't know what it's about yet, but it's gonna be MASSIVE, apparently, and word on the chatrooms is we're looking at Torque. So hyped.

I'm not sure about the validity of my sources, but I heard that the dlc is bringing 30 new classes, 45 subclasses, 103 micro-classes, and 10 new professions. Not sure what the storyline is, but I'm sure it'll be a Spiderlord Overarch who'll be the big bad.

And don't worry, they're patching everything in the dlc.

Yeah, but the Library in Haven is nothing compared to the one in Ruby city.... I've spent 90% of my game time there, five percent heading from Haven to Ruby, and the last five percent was spent at the Haven library.

No new demi-classes? That's a bit of a let-down, but all the rest of that stuff sounds good.

And, as other have said, if you're just rushing through the main storyline you're missing most of the game. I, personally, have just spent the last four days piloting a platinum sub through the Acid Ocean, fighting off various types of reactionals in search of the Lost City of Melting Flesh.

Because I haven't been spending much time in them, and I just burned the one off Witch's Coast... I think it had, like 14,000 scrolls or something?

Yeah, that would have made your life a ton easier.  You're 1/3rd of the way to the Amr ibn al `Aas achievement, though.  Burn the Haven and Ruby libraries and you'll get it, but say goodbye to any skill training for the rest of the game.  Oh, and the Order of the Quill will send assassins after you until you wipe them out.

Unstable_Core (http://IGYNPADCA.topleveldomain.com/org/net/tk/ISP/Content/update/blog/blag/content/04/04/16/index.vrml) update is out...

Quote
Jefffffffs: Just a reminder, version numbers are NOT percentages. That said, we're pleased to announce version 99.9999864.0.0.3 is out! We've worked long and hard, especially Scoots (currently at rehab) and Willary (prison). We expect both of them to be hard at work again in months, until then, you may notice some slightly reduced profanity in the dev blogs, but also substantially poorer animations and textures. Frankly I think they're both some kind of 3D art savants, but don't let Willary hear that. We don't want to repeat the Christmas Party.

Anyway, v99.9999864.0.0.3 has some of our most-requested updates and fixes, and a few new features to tide you over until we're done with the World Gen Arc. Here's the highlights of the change log:

Fixes:
- No longer leaves BGM on repeat at max volume, overlaying repeated instances every time you enter a new area.
- Arms have correct number of elbows.
- Fixed reverse mesh occlusion.
- Removed the cash shop. RIP Samno, former chief engineer, who died fixing this bug (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=104495.msg3091843#msg3091843).
- Running on Windows no longer causes results in the game calling the player a "capitalist running-dog and slave to the corporations," although we can't remove that on Macs yet.
- Weapons exist in-setting now; previously nobody had any idea what the swords, guns, lasers, and catapults in the game world were for.
- PC will no longer get pregnant following the "Eat a Baby" questline.
- We've come up with a workaround for "CD Drive keeps opening" bug. Every 10 seconds, the game tries to close the drive if open. Sorry if you have a slimline or "laptop-style" drive, you're going to have to keep closing it yourself.

New Features:
- Minimap now comes in three hardcoded sizes. Because of bug #14, you must choose the size at install. Sizes are: Postage-Stamp, 50% screen size, Full Screen.
- Added Base Construction! Three buildings available: One World Trade Center, Taj Mahal, Space Shuttle Launch Complex.
- Enabled preliminary code that we expect will allow PCs to enter buildings in the next release cycle!
- Main Quest Chapter 2 unlocked! This is the first of SEVERAL stages following our Kickstarter stretch goals; originally we were only going to have the first chapter, but now it's possible to complete your education with the old master, go to a nearby cave and fight some rats as a final challenge, and return to the training center to discover a terrible secret and begin what you might call... a quest!
- Added faces to NPCs.
- Enabled monster death. [PLAYER REQUESTED FEATURE]
- New Side Quest: Locate Willary's Alibi! PLEASE PLAY QUICKLY.
- Day/Night cycle, weather, seasons, tectonic drift, evolution. [PLAYER REQUESTED FEATURE]
- New Class: Bureaucrat. Has no combat abilities, is automatically disliked by everyone, has flat feet and halitosis. [PLAYER REQUESTED FEATURE]

Balance Changes:
- Dirt now costs 1.0003/unit rather than 1.0002/unit.
- Elder-Star-Dragon Masters with 20 or more class levels and the "Eldritch Deity" condition are 5% more susceptable to Basic Unarmed damage.
- Cows, Horses, Donkeys, Chickens, and other domestic animals have Greater Sword-Turning and Cosmic Peacekeeper enchantments. PC-owned animals do not gain these advantages.
- Melee weapons were overpowered- they now use "Swing Ammo," found in shops, on enemies, and in forest barrels, and which must be reloaded. Axes have a 5-swing clip, swords a 6-swing clip. [PLAYER REQUESTED CHANGE]
- Tweaked Gunslung class: may now dual-wield up to 5 weapons at once, down from 7. To compensate, he may now learn a special technique allowing him to load "Swing Ammo" into his guns.
- Rats drop 100-200 Platinum Coins on death, down from 2000+.

Known bugs:
- #14 Still impossible to resize windows.
- #4565333 Game supports Trump campaign, and we aren't sure how or why.
- #4542323 If the CD drive is open for more than 20 seconds, the CPU overheats critically and generally melts down. We recommend not gaming with a laptop directly on your lap.

Why did they remove the reverse mesh occlusion? I was doing a killing in stealth with it. Monster death is nice, though, as I always felt bad stabbing innocent little girls in their lieu.

It also looks like "Locate Willary's Alibi" has an ARG part to it. I should travel to GGC's hometown for it, but I don't know anyone in the area. Any locals willing to act as a guide?

So I've started a new playthrough as an Ocean Mage. They're really powerful, and can do awesome things like summon tsunamis at-will when in the vicinity of an ocean. Unfortunately, it seems there aren't any oceans of water in the current build (at least, not that I've been able to find), and all my class abilities are based on that, so I'm basically playing a commoner right now.

Fortunately, they've added in NPC companions at some point, so Eilg'ork the twice-orc Dinosaur Smith has been doing most of the heavy lifting for me, combat-wise. The downside is that he spends most fights spouting off his tragic backstory, and he keeps trying to get me to go on quests to rescue his clan members, even though I've rescued about 50 of them so far, which sort of conflicts with his backstory of being the last of his tribe.

I think I have a way I can fight without having to rely on Eilg'ork, but I need some information first. Has anyone here completed the quest to become an Edgelord?

Maybe I'll use that marriage function with one of the NPC girls and just settle down for a nice life of growing corn.
You don't want to do that...
Indeed you don't. Lesson learned the hard way: you should at least get some combat skills before growing plants en masse, as there is a small chance of accidentally plowing a Corn-Fiend instead of a corn-field. And those things sure don't like farmers' spouses for some reason, as pretty much everyone I talked to about this had it go straight for their spouse.

So anyone beaten the Frostsquirrel yet? I've heard it said that you need it to get the Overly Large Intercontinental Trebuchet Frost Gem, but don't go for ranged spells much, so didn't look. But I'm wondering about doing it anyway, because its so hyped by everyone. Unless its just some stupid bulet sponge enemy.

The OLITFG is only good for bragging rights, really. It can't be used against anything on the same continent, so unless you also spend the time, resources and pet slot for an Iridium Planet Worm to collect enemy drops at a long distance for you, there's not much gain in using it.

I haven't, I instead have been spending the last week decoding the Vashna code in an attempt to find the treasure cache of Wizard Dan the Wizard Man's spellbook, so far I've managed to figure out that it's somewhere within the steel top mountains, but, as I've been spending all my time buried in lore... I'm only level 10, as I mastered the lore skill, is there anyway to use it is combat?

If you spend just a couple points in Deceit, with level 10 Lore you'll unlock Spread Falsehoods, which is very effective when fighting any enemies with a Pedantic modifier, and you can use it to circumvent the Rouge Band of Baking Brothers mini-boss fight by making them go down the wrong path and end up getting captured at Ogre Law School.

Also, who have you guys chosen to romance? I feel like most people are going for Priscilla the Ice Queen to reap the benefits of her political influence or Ryan the Gosling for his steamy good looks, but I've shacked up with Modgar Ooodum. On the outside he looks like any other giant slug monster, but when you really get deep into his dialogue you learn that he really cares about your character and isn't devotion what's really important in a partner? Plus, he's got good musical taste.

The Sneak update sneakily added a Trump Card.

It summons a boss instance of Donald Trump, who constantly buffs himself to ungodly levels of physical defense via a move called "Build The Wall".

The worst thing about that is that it sacrifices your turn if he does it. How do I beat the guy in order to get his Toupee?
Title: Re: Igynpadca Single-Player Game
Post by: NJW2000 on April 07, 2016, 02:53:46 am
Okay, to beat the Trump boss I romanced a lizard-chronomancer to get the bonus turns benefit from when he stops you moving, then got a +8 Dead Cat Repulsion Ring. So when he did his "Throw a dead cat on the table" attack, I just set fire to the table and hit him over the head with one of the legs. Kiting was also pretty important, and try and start the fight in the "Harpsichord of Belismus" area below the castle, to get the help of that ballista the Roscrucians have.

In other news, I'm trying to work out if the Mountain Catacombs of Ingl'icha M'droguar Peskar are procedurally generated, or if its just a massive bunch of really boring handmade dungeons. I've figured out that if you just turn right at every corner, you eventually get to Kraval the Blind, Demonic Lord of the Insipid Reaches boss fight, even if it isn't his catacomb. In fact, this even works for those cellars underneath taverns, if you keep turning right long enough.

EDIT: the stat bonus on the toupee isn't as good as some people think, but it really helps with romancing certain characters.

I'm about ready to uninstall this thing. I can't beat the Beet Butter Beetle boss, even with the Beating Bearing Banner equipped. Any ideas?
Title: Re: Igynpadca Single-Player Game
Post by: IcyTea31 on May 02, 2016, 11:55:50 pm
The Beet Butter Beetle hates bees, and doubles its damage exponentially for each you have in your inventory. Even though you needed them to get to that point, you should backtrack and take your Boasting Battle-Bee, Bubbly Bloated Believer and Blooper Boat home before you fight it. The Beating Bears summoned by the Banner should leave the Beetle at only 8x damage multiplier instead of 8192x, while dealing some serious damage to it. Also try to attack the beehives around the boss arena to distract it.

If even that isn't enough, go back to the town of Dewpalm and talk to the beekeeper there. She'll send you on a long and repetitive series of quests, but the Hot Knife you get for the second-to-last one is ridiculously effective against the Beetle. Be sure to use it quickly before it cools down into a Lukewarm Knife, lest you have to travel to a volcano to heat it up again (any will do, The Other Mt. Doom is closest to the Beetle's lair).

 I heard there's a theory coming around that it actually happened because one of the secret bosses was defeated, and the developers forgot to make any content past her because they thougt she was undefeatable. They had to shut a lot of things down and make an entire other level, followed by an even harder boss (they're sure this one's impossible).

I heard they are adding a magic portal at the end of this level-realm into a new realm. The only way to get past is to get a key from a slot machine, but I have heard it's fixed to be impossible for now.

Patch Impending_Calamity just dropped! They called it a "pre-hotfix," so I guess they're planning something bigger soon?

Quote
Fixes:
VR mode doesn't cause enduring psychosis.
Villager next to windmill in New Lesser Dirtstick is now wearing Filthy Rags instead of Dirty Scraps.
It's now possible to resize the minimap in the init.

Features:
Added decorative piles of sticks so you don't have to build kindling piles when you want to decorate with piles of sticks. They can be ignited if you like.
P now equals NP [USER REQUESTED FEATURE]
Removed "Aliby" quest as Willary has escaped from prison.
Worldgen is in, but in a compromise, we made it so that it always makes the same map.

And one final note, we'd like to welcome a new artist to the team, Kilman. He's a great animator, and possesses some fascinating tattoos!

That's the point. They shouldn't have opened up the debate at all. I hate it when fantasy games try to be all edgy and political, the stupid Agrok Council quest when you just had to listen to 3,000 lines of dialogue about corruption in the establishment and then not do anything was bad enough :/

Can confirm. Can also confirm that it just got cancelled, since the company traced the source of the rumors to 10 developers and summarily laid them all off. They are really enforcing the NDA.

EDIT: Nothing, of course, can stop the laid-off developers from creating a "spiritual successor" to Igynpadca if they so choose...

Same. It was probably the smallest and least thought out DLC for Igynpadca that ever came out. Remember that boss fight it adds? They didn't even account for the fact that you'd have the Ring of Fishslaying at that point in the game, so it's a one-hit kill!

Well, they kinda did, though.  There's actually more loot for fighting it with the ring off.  Not very good loot though.  In fact, it's the Ring of Fishslaying all over again.

I mean, that's not as bad as if you're fighting it while you happen to have the Ring of Fishlaying equipped. You'll quickly run out of Brain Bleach trying to keep down your Nightmares score.
