Chakram weapons

[Dragoneer]

Unlocked Chakram weapons 2 games ago, and still havent seen a single one appear, or talent weapons for that matter, am i just super unlucky or what?

[R3p1c]

now that you mention it, i have not seen them either, not counting the one pathfinder starts with

[Army of Optimists]

I've seen two. One (Sunring) was very late and had a single target throw, a column throw, and a column bleed attack. The other was a breakable Bogleram that dropped off a Bogling. It was outclassed so I didn't use it.

They're somewhat rare and seem worse than Bows. Their saving grace is being one-handed, but backliners don't usually need shields. Maybe if FTK2 had some form of dual-wielding implemented they'd be more useful.

That or maybe we'll unlock more in the lore shop at some point

Hey all, we've had some reports of this so we'll investigate to see if they slipped through somewhere on our end! Appreciate you reaching out to let us know.

Has this been fixed? I've played about 5 scenarios since unlocking and haven't seen a single one. Makes playing pathfinder pointless.

Yea they are extremely rare, I have seen 1 chakram ( sun ring same one you described with bleed) crook staves I have seen 2 of and I have seen zero whips. I don't know what the other unlockable weapons are yet, but beating chapter 4 didn't unlock them.

Speaking of I actually have no idea what the criteria for unlocking stuff seems to be in most cases, I've seen posts by people saying there are 2 starter shock weapons you can unlock but I'm on ch5 and nope. Also I'd really like to see this summoning book before it gets nerfed, so far no dice on that. ( I think I have 58 hours played atm).

ive seen multiple chakrams on campaign 3, none of them good though ;(

[JamesBluntsBlunt]

In most cases I usually have to flex between talent and the secondary high stat when playing a talent-based character. In the end I usually always end up using a bow or other awareness weapon. The amount of INT based staves, books, and wands that drop, show up in stores, quest objectives, etc, in comparison are actually insane. My int characters will end a chapter with half a dozen options for the final fight, even if there are two of them. Hoping that the drop tables will eventually be balanced to make talent characters more viable...

Equipment in this game is not enjoyable, not interesting, and lacks depth.

Pathfinder has atleast two other functional stats and a very strong ability, but good job with the "pointless" comment I guess.

Guessing you didn't like equipment in the FTK1 either.

[Rianith]

For now, talent is not great for weaponry, I'm guessing any DLC/expansion would be
re-introducing busker and minstrel and a whole slew of talent-based weaponry/instruments.

Compared to other games where all they do is a +1 (2,3) to attack and damage? Here you have lots of different skills that come with specific weapons ....

According to a dev's post somewhere there will only be a single bard class. But yeah, they need musical instruments.

FTK2 could've been a great opportunity for them to really add a lot of depth to the game and show that they're a dev team that can really put out something amazing. Adding the back row is a nice example of new depth for the game, but I feel like they should've done so much more. Still feels very bare bones imho.

I don't know what games you're playing, but the vast majority of strategy and tactical games I've played have loads more abilities and significantly more depth to their combat and gameplay than FtK.

[ajfusch]

Yeah, the games I play have more depth, too, but because of characters skills, traits, feats, and the use of spells and magical abilities - not because each single weapons is special. I usually play D&D and Pathfinder games and games close to it. Also some MMO. None of them have much in the way of special skills for specific weapons, only skills that come with weapons TYPES. Or just general damage and class skills.

That's the RPG. Strategy games I've played have been about whole armies, not individual characters. Guess apart from FtK we've played totally different games.

Anyway, looking forward to Chakram weapons! I have just unlocked them and not played since then.
