Sword Coast Legends Delayed Again

The co-op-y D&D action-RPG was due to launch on September 8th, then September 29th, and now… October 20th.

“The decision to delay the launch of Sword Coast Legends was not an easy one to make, but after receiving feedback from our dedicated community, it became clear that a few more weeks of polish would provide our customers with the best possible experience at launch,” game director Dan Tudge said

Mekkora zavart fog vajon okozni ez az egész Effort-rendszer az eredetit nem ismerő – és valami D&D-sen szimplisztikusat váró – kocajátékosokban?

Applying Effort in a Crisis

In our Crisis system rules, the player has three Pools - Might, Speed and Intellect. These Pools represent not just health, but also your physical and mental capabilities and resources. When you take damage, you'll receive it to one of your three Pools depending on which one the enemy is targeting. But, Pools can also be expended using the Effort system to power up your attacks and abilities with more damage, accuracy, as well as for lowering the difficulty on other checks, such as in conversations. While your first instinct might be to conserve your Pools, it can often be worthwhile to spend them so you can handle challenges in a Crisis more effectively.

If you'll recall, all skill checks in Numenera are Difficult Tasks, whether that's hitting someone in the face with your fist or talking them out of a fight, and Effort (and your Pools) is how you can lower the difficulty of that task. So, trading off your Pools often becomes a tactical decision in how you want to proceed in a Crisis - either playing more recklessly by hitting faster and harder, or more conservatively by saving your Pools for absorbing incoming damage.

There are other ways you can lower the difficulty of an attack, too. For instance, you can employ various tactical options to gain "Assets". In combat, you'll be able to get these from positioning (i.e.: flanking) as well as from Fettles conferred by abilities (Fettle is the TTON word for status effect).

For example, Aligern's Dazzle esotery showers a target in pyrotechnic sparks that leaves them with the Distracted Fettle for 1 round. This reduces the difficulty of hitting the target by 3. Keep in mind that the enemies will try to employ the same techniques to make your party members easier to hit, as well. When a PC is attacked, that PC makes a defense roll to evade the strike. If a party member gains a Fettle like Distracted, the difficulty of evading incoming attacks is *increased* by 3. Effort allows you to expend resources to compensate for or take extra advantage of the Assets provided by these tactical choices.

The top row of UI is the Effort Type selection. You can pick between "Accuracy" (which represents likelihood to succeed at a task) or "Damage" (which increases the amount of damage done with an attack *if* successful). Each level of Effort applied to Accuracy reduces the difficulty of the task by 3. Each level applied to Damage increases the total damage by 3, but if used while the chance of success is low, could be a riskier choice. On the other hand, if smart tactics have given you a good chance to hit, pumping up Damage can turn the tide of a fight.

The second row is for selecting the Stat pool from which the cost of Effort is drawn. For many tasks there is only one option but for others you may be able to choose between two or even all three pools. The first level of Effort costs 3 points from the chosen pool, and each additional level costs 2.

The third row is the most important. It allows you to select how much Effort to apply to the task. In C0, Aligern and the Last Castoff can only apply 1 level per task, but Callistege has already taken an upgrade for Tier 2, meaning she can apply up to 2 levels of Effort. You can also clear any Effort you've selected by clicking the pip labeled "0." As you mouse over and select Effort pips, the difficulty updates accordingly.

Applying Effort is optional. At any time you can press the big "check mark" button to attempt the Task. The button to the right of that is the "Sudden Inspiration" feature, which allows you use Discovery Points to automatically succeed at key tasks without spending Effort. The cost in DP depends on the difficulty of the task.

Nem mintha annyira hiperbonyolult volna, ám elsőre talán nem a legintuitívabb dolog a világon.
