The NEW NPF Steam Game Night Extravaganza Funtimes Party Thread

[Bard The 5th LW]

Recently got back into Steam after getting a better computer. I'm Maxiom9 for anyone who feels like shooting a friend request.

[Arcanum]

Is this you?

Also you should join this group. I hear it's pretty neat.

[Bard The 5th LW]

Thats the one.

Spiral Knights just got a major revamp regarding Crystal Energy which got me interested in playing again. Anybody else want to try it?

[Loyal]

Remind me what energy is used for if not elevators and revives?

Crafting. I hope a steam night happens this weekend, even if someone doesn't own any of the fancy not-free games, we could play Spiral Knights :3

Not used for crafting either.

Energy is no longer required to use alchemy. A new type of item, ‘Orbs of Alchemy,’ have replaced energy associated with alchemy. There are five orbs of alchemy in all:
- Flawed Orb of Alchemy
- Simple Orb of Alchemy
- Advanced Orb of Alchemy
- Elite Orb of Alchemy
- Eternal Orb of Alchemy
Orbs of alchemy may be purchased in unbound stacks from the Supply Depot, acquired via missions or as rare loot in treasure blocks.

Although sounds like you can use Energy to buy these orbs instead of farming for them. Same with the new Fire Crystals needed to level up items.

The Forge
Items that acquire heat will no longer automatically level up when enough heat is required at the end of a level. Instead, a new type of item called ‘Fire Crystals’ must be used within a new interface called ‘The Forge’ in order to level up your items. Fire crystals include:
- Cracked Fire Crystal
- Dim Fire Crystal
- Warm Fire Crystal
- Glowing Fire Crystal
- Shining Fire Crystal
- Radiant Fire Crystal
The Forge can be accessed in town or at any arsenal station. When an item is ready to level up, open the Forge and select the item. The item will require a certain number of a specific fire crystal to level up. However, in some cases there is a chance the forge will not succeed and the fire crystals will be lost. No heat is ever lost due a failed forging.
Additionally, players have the option to add more than the requisite fire crystals in order to improve the odds of a successful forge as well as the chance to gain a special bonus. These bonuses include:
- Heat Bonus: +25% (one level)
- Double Level Up!
- Forge Prize Box containing a random assortment of various rarities and other items (prize box and contents are bound)
Fire crystals may be purchased in stacks in the Supply Depot, acquired via missions or found as loot in treasure blocks.

In the end it will depend on the rarity of these Fire Crystals, but as of right now I really don't like the looks of the new item leveling system.

So, the game went from being a "you cannot play more than x rounds, unless you have crystal energy" to a farm/grindfest...I play Farmframe so, it cannot be that bad
