It's not "considered". It's designed and waits for final approval and implementation.

A new mythic path seems on par with the effort of adding turn based mode to kingmaker.
I was responding specifically to this statement.
That said, I also think any significant fleshing out of a mythic path would be more more expensive than adding in turn based mode, simply by virtue of the fact that it would require more people working on it. You might be able to just add in a few extra phrases or abilities easily, but new story paths or story would have all the same problems as adding in a new full path.
You've nailed it pretty well there, I don't have much to add.
Imo, it was a huge mistake in hyping up this AMA and EE for that matter. I think it's more of a marketing thing to get people to buy it when it goes on sale (which I assume it will, when EE comes out). Another huge issue was just calling this EE, while I appreciate the UI changes, nothing here really makes me want to get really deep into another campaign. I have a feeling the developers probably know this already and were told to but regardless they seem to be fumbling the AMA pretty darn hard. Also it's just baffling that some classes are just getting zero touch ups. I would of been very excited if there was a huge balance changes for some classes like Assassin but not even that. A class that is virtually unplayable since launch gets zero attention.
It wasn't. The first and primary purpose of AMA is communication, from you to us and from us to you. We get to hear your feedback, concerns and key issues, you get to hear stories from development, specific details about our games, explanations of incoming features and glimpses of how it was, and what's to come next.
Here I explained some more: https://www.reddit.com/r/Pathfinder\_Kingmaker/comments/xpk0c2/comment/iq596id/?utm\_source=reddit&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3
I swear I saw a patch note a few weeks ago saying they added ratfolk. Am I losing my mind?
That was an april fools joke. Amount of ratfolk supporters appearing after that gives food for thought, though.
Yeah, same here... although on the other hand, the vast majority of people being told no isn't especially surprising because it's been the same requests being made since launch, and Owlcat was always really clear that certain things - ratfolk, more Mythic Paths, romances with other party members - were off the table. So of course the answers to those questions is still "no".
Aside from that, it's mainly questions about specific bugs, and Gold Dragon - which they clearly already know is a shitty situation and they can't do anything about it right now. Definitely not things that called for an AMA
Some of the things in your list may not be as impossible as you think them to be. Time will tell :)
I can understand that reasoning, accounting for all the variables I get that MP content is difficult, yea it's just frustrating.
Also, I would much rather pay for dlc that did nothing but adds to MP, than I would for a stand alone continuation of a stand alone dlc. Since I didn't buy the Ashes DLC, there's almost a guarantee that I would not buy a continuation, I know I'm just speaking for myself here, but I think there may be some shared sentiments. Thought I'd throw that in there since I've already given my 2 cents, 2 more couldn't hurt
Different parts of our audience have different tastes and it's natural. Through the Ashes is worth checking and a lot of people call it a good refreshing change of pace, but as a single story lover as well, I get your feelings there.
Overall, we're seeing a lot of demand for Commander-oriented content and integration, and we're of course taking this into account, including our plans for Season Pass 2. There will also be an interesting survey soon related to this, but shhh, I haven't told you anything.
the new feats sound intriguing, go on. Is there a estimated time we can expect them like next dlc?
My personal guess would be within nearest months. That's more of my personal expectation/prediction than a set date, but usually I am decent at predicting these.
One mythic power that let's you poison anything that's neither machine nor undead. Is it too much to ask ?
If you read the AMA intently - addressing this issue is on the list for near future:)
I don't mean to be hostile, but I am a little frustrated. Things like reforging and picture mode are cool and all, but was there honestly more demand for those than MP improvements?
I understand it can be frustrating, especially if your mythic was touched less than others and you feel let down. It's very frustrating to us as well to have our creativity limited by time and budget constraints, especially when things end up cut because they don't fit into the frames.
However as a game developer you always have to keep a certain level of healthy pragmatism. Universal features such as UI improvements, are going to be seen and used by most of the players of the game. Changes to a single mythic, especially among the late ones, are going to be seen by a single digit percentage of players. Sad but true. And sometimes it's ALSO surprisingly more expensive to give content to a mythic path than design a UI feature.
TLDR: Yes, the combination of pros and cons makes these features more prioritized. It doesn't mean we don't want to go for more MP content, but often we have to choose and set priorities. We're trying to keep a healthy balance.
Here's h...
Read moreNew Mythic feats sounds very cool. Will it be DLC material or update material?
Most likely in one of the patches.
How do I put this into words...
I'm still definitely coming back to the game for the EE. I am still looking forward to putting several new playthroughs I've drafted through the game and experiencing some of the new stuff and QoL.
However, I don't see what the purpose of this AMA was? And I mean that with 0 malice. I don't make a habit of dumping on this game or company, one can check my post history if they feel so inclined. I'm just confused. I went over there and after about 10 minutes left thinking "they've covered all this and there don't seem to be any additional surprises." The vast majority of people were just told no, or that there weren't any plans and this was across an immense array of questions.
We don't promise what we can't do - resources are limited and there's only so much we can add.
However, you should take a closer look at some of the announcements and explanations that have been made there, looks like you've missed them. For example the reforging feature that comes in EE - an ability to give one item an appearance of another. That's a biggie. Or the fact that we're working on a set of new mythic feats that are going to address solid problems such as weakness of armor AC in comparison with avoidance tanking. Or a feat to repair poison-based classes such as Assassin against demons.
Aside of that, the main purpose of the AMA is of course, communication. For you to hear us and learn new details about design and creation of our games, and for us to hear you and your concerns.
https://www.reddit.com/r/OwlcatGames/comments/xm59cz/pathfinder_ama_on_27th_of_september_devoted_to/ - AMA will take place in this thread!
This thread is so funny and sad at the same time.
Agreed :D
I had no idea proteans were in the game! Some of my favorite creatures but there's almost no reason to ever run into them in the TT. I've just gotten to act 5 in my first playthrough, are they dlc only?
They are a major part of DLC1 which takes place just before the final battle, and you can meet them as enemies in DLC3.
I still do not understand what photo mode is. Does it just let you capture images during the game (like pause, move the camera around, capture)? Or does it make parts of the game more like cutscenes?
Nice nickname. I approve.
Yep, it lets you capture images, exactly as you described. Plus some additional effects like stickers, frames etc.
You spelled my name wrong! :<
