The Pathfinder Adventure Card Game (ACG?) that deserves its own thread

That’s not what I am complaining about. Why don’t you go try and read the problem again. I think you’re missing a few key points about what the problem is.

I did read it. The only way it makes sense is to replace “I hate f2p” with “I love f2p but I hate the Play Store.”

By the way, mine just updated. Perhaps you need to refresh the store?

Sure. I’ll get in my Time Machine and get my lunch hour back… or maybe if they’re going to have a game that requires you to be online all the time to accumulate gold for their F2P model they should put more effort into the server and application syncs.

Well, I beat it and was debating new characters to try. So I got bored and went and looked at the collection to see what cards I might have missed…

Yeah something ain’t right here. In spells alone from the B set there are like 6 spells I never drew. I’d chalk that up to luck, except I drew every other spell there dozens of times and every card I never drew has a funky border of some sort.

So… I don’t get it. There are “2” Elemental Body spells in Deck B. I saw zero of them. There is one Mending. I saw it at least 6 times in the first 2 settings.

This pattern continues through every deck. Anything with a funky border, I never saw once. Everything else I saw so many times I fell asleep. So, how the hell do these collections work? I supposedly own the cards and apparently none of them ever get put in decks?

Edit: So apparently it’s all the “Treasure” stuff. Like all of it. I don’t get it. I thought stuff was just supposed to be “out in the wild” for you to find, but apparently none of it is? Even though it’s all under my “Owned” tab? What?

Edit2: Apparently I turned them off in the options somehow. Well new stuff for next playthrough I guess.

Finally beat the introduction (B) scenario yesterday. I lost the last part twice because time ran out (mostly due to bad rolls on “closing” checks). Now on to the next (1) scenario.

And I really, really like the design. The whole thing with your deck doubling as health, the rechard/discard/bury/banish mechanics… good stuff.

If you were waiting for the 10% steam coupon from the Ambassador program (you pretty much just had to play it on mobile to get this), it’s out now! Now to decide whether to get just the base game or the Obsidian edition

This is the most convoluted process to get a (WOW!) 10% coupon I have ever seen. How many hoops they are willing to make their most loyal customers jump through is just jarring to me. They don’t even seem to notice it! which is very weird.

To be fair, it does give you a couple extra promo cards and some in-game gold, and if you spent $25 or so on the game before PC release, going through those hoops also puts an upgrade to the Obsidian edition into your steam account in addition to the 10% off coupon. But yeah, there’s now steam accounts, and playfab accounts and obsidian accounts all in the mix. On the flipside, having all the content sync across devices is very nice!

I ended up buying the Obsidian edition. Slight peeve already is having to re-enter the Playfab ID again and a password to link the steam and the mobile versions, although now I have a whole pile of unspent gold, and I think it’s all tied together now!

And now their site prepopulated an incorrect playfab ID for me that I couldn’t edit and now I don’t have my reward for having purchased the Rise of the Runelords bundle. Boy, this weekend has been fucking excellent. :P

Y’all had me spooked for the difficulty here.

Was fairly easy to go through the steps. Was worried I’d enter an incorrect PlayFab ID since that was the only part that wasn’t just clicking a button, but even when I screwed up a number, it didn’t register and told me to check it again. Saw my error and entered it and voila. I’m upgraded to Obsidian Edition.

I 'm more than a little worried on this whole linking process. Would any of those who successfully walked through the process be willing to give me the step by step for dummy’s version of the process?

Also is there a way to know for sure before I start that my iOS version qualifies for it all?

Did you see the link posted by warrenac above? The devs provide step-by-step instructions with pics.

If you purchased the Rise of the Runelords bundle on mobile, you qualify. Otherwise, review your Pathfinder Adventures purchase history in iTunes to see if it totals at least $24.99. If so, you qualify.

Not sure if this was discussed: is it possible to link two desktop installs together? I want to be able to play on both my gaming PC and MacBook. After lots of trouble I was finally able to link my iPad to my account at least.

Got tired of trying to figure out how to link my Steam version with my iphone f2p version. So I just purchased the iphone app…again (I’d bought it a while back with an old iphone account).

Anyway, it’s a super great mobile game. But the iphone app is significantly a poorer purchase. Only one red extra dice set. None of the alternate chars, and probably some cards or something else missing from the Steam version. The main thing I would have liked on the app is the dice sets. They’re about 1.50 a piece (using the space-bucks to dollar conversion). Or bundles for a minimum of 20. Blah!

The third scenario is kicking my ass. I’m constantly running out of turns. I only came close once and lost a 80% roll to take out the villain about midway thru the game and it was downhill from there.

Purchased this on Sunday. Haven’t been able to play since. 30 minutes into the fun of linking my accounts and getting my party together the application crashed, taking every card I purchased with it. No response from support yet. I feel like I can’t play it until they help me recover it. What a pain. Yeah Steam version is very buggy, slow and and the online component evidently not very stable.

In my playing (both iphone and steam: not linked) I don’t think I’ve crashed or seen any bugs except that one day where it kept saying there was an update but the store didn’t have one. Well, other than not being able to link them, though that’s as much due to the insane design of how to link as opposed to a bug. Both have been stable for me otherwise. But now that I’ve said that…

I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer by any means, and it took me 5 minutes or less to link my Steam purchase and my ipad purchase for the Obsidian upgrade.

Haven’t had anything like a crash at all across 8 hours of play.

I think my problem was that I had linked my iphone app to an account prior to the steam purchase. So when I tried linking my iphone app back to the PC version using the link code created on the PC it kept just sitting there forever. Anytime I logged out of the iphone app it would always log me back into the account created on the iphone and never give me the option to enter a different login name. My understanding was that this was due to the asmodee account created on the iphone being linked to the iphone itself. Or maybe it was a bug of some sort. Regardless, if you’re going to have cross platform linking for an app that has a un/pw, maybe just have shit linked via un/pw not some random number generated to tie accounts down to hardware. Meh…still love the game.

Whelp it looks like Obsidian is trying to help me. CSR is rather friendly actually and chatty. They’ve tried a couple of times so far, but I’ve got a feeling the next attempt might actually do it. It sounds like they have to push the system to think I just purchased the game… again. I have no idea how this happened, still.

I am kind of relieved to get a human talking to me, a kind of funny individual actually, compared to the middle finger I usually get from a lot of game support staff (well okay not a middle finger but the can’t care enough to respond approach).
