EVERYTHING B.F.P. #2 has to offer AND LEEKS! - Pagan Online
52Hey everyone this is Thyworm and today, I want to give you an overview of what BFP2 has to offer and provide details on all the new game mechanics. Here’s what you can expect in BFP2, in no particular order, with at the end, some juicy leeks.
Potency Points
There will be more ways to earn potency points. By doing special quests or missions [MIRKO] for example. It apparently involves a shrine of sorts, you can complete these missions in co-op and there are some prerequisites as well. And as far as I know, everything can be completed on normal difficulty as well.
You are able to get an additional 10 potency points, which is a lot. It allows for much more freedom regarding builds and I really like the changes. I now often feel I really lack a few potency points in order for an intended build to be viable, and this change should solve most of those issues. Especially weaker heroes, like Dameer, will benefit a lot from this I feel. Once this option is available, I’m going to experiment and create some awesome hero build guides. Soon, guys.
Crafting
Crafting will be much more streamlined and hopefully predictive than before. With the introduc-tion of the Shroud Cage, which is the new mechanic available to gain recipes in a consistent way, I believe crafting will move towards a much better spot in the game. The new mechanic allows you to somehow encounter these Shroud Cages and when you handle them correctly, you get a recipe as a guaranteed drop.
Crafting itself needs to undergo a few changes before its back to being completely viable, such as improving the quality of recipes, lowering the amount of RNG involved and lowering the crafting material costs, but this is once again a step in the right direction.
Fabled Weapons
This is a big change in the way Legendaries are handled. Legendaries will now basically offer 3 things.
1. A bunch of good stats, usually.
2. A legendary Power
3. A fabled attribute
Let’s see how these things work exactly.
Generally speaking, Legendaries offer a good number of stats. There are exceptions, sure, but mostly, the stats on Legendaries are worth it, just by itself. It’s enough of a reason to equip a Leg-endary, purely because of the numbers involved.
From now on, ALL Legendaries have legendary powers, which was NOT the case before. What also changes is primarily the way these are distributed. Take a Legendary powers like the one on the Oathbreaker. The locked and loaded mechanic on the Oathbreaker is in patch 0.5 still a legendary power. In the new patch however, patch 0.6 or BFP2, it’s different. The old legendary powers are now divided into 2 categories: Legendary Powers, and Fabled Attributes.
Schools of Magic
Schools of Magic are the new set items in Pagan Online. As Tamara mentioned in the dev log, this system isn’t completely mature just yet, but we already get a chance to play around with it.
From now on, every item that drops can belong to a school of magic. Collecting multiple items of the same school of magic results in set bonuses, which are both cosmetic and mechanical.
Diving a little deeper, here’s how it works exactly. Whenever an item drops, there is a small chance that its part of a school of magic. There’s nothing that influences these rolls, it seems. Any hero can get any school of magic item.
After you’ve collected a few items, you will start to see the effects. The more items of a single school you equip, the more cosmetic effects you’ll see on your avatar. For example, here you see Valeria running around in a full set.
It’s not only cosmetic, but the set pieces also come with stat bonuses. These are % bonuses to the stats that are already on the item. For now, in the first iteration of Schools of Magic, the develop-ers didn’t want to create items that are OP, so the effects seem to be primarily visual, while giving some minor boosts to stats. Later down the line, this system will be improved and built upon.
