new Nightreign info just dropped: it's been confirmed the game only has 1 map; sites of grace, evergaols, caves, spiritsprings are all static

youtube.com/watch?v=KozGGMQvqi0

still absolutely zero reason to go in the caves

new info

Can't you find upgrade materials there?

that explains why I never found any in the network test.

i saw some people claim that, but i ran through the caves in the network test and there was nothing in there except some miners mining and a couple weak soldier enemies

so these fuckers put NPC invasions in the game but won't let actual players invade other players. and why are they even in the game? normalfags don't want to deal with invaders period.

The only new info I'm waiting on is the colour of Recluse's nipples and butthole.

I don't like invaders either but I'd be lying if I said being invaded isn't fun as fuck as long as they're not some metafag blasting me in two hits.

Ok good. But what is the main team doing? I don't care for this battle royale shit.

I have already purchased the deluxe edition.

No Liurnia Map

No Caelid Map

No Altus Map

No Mountaintop Map

Dropped

there are no events that change the map, it's the same Limgrave map with some pre-made alterations to it. for example, you can choose to play in Limgrave with a crater in the middle, or instead of a crater there will be a forest, but the geographical changes are always the same ones and on the same spots.

i looked at some of the new bosses ign posted and they look comparable to radahn almost. killing radahn in coop is a total crapshoot, and they put these fights in the rando multiplayer game that takes 20 minute long run for one atempt.
briliant!

The entire list of all the night bosses dropped. I wonder if it was by mistake or on purpose.
Anyway, we know what the first two are, guesses on the rest?

on the same spots.

not sure about that and the journo didn't see everything, so there's still a bit of hope, but stuff like castle always being in the same place is just strange.

Darkdrift Knight must be the one armed centaur guy

I think I found the final solution to the invader problem. Invaders control prebuilt characters. Just allow them to pilot the NPC invaders so they actually match the threat level of the area instead of cheating in end game items for the invasions in the first dungeons. Simple.

Sentient Pest

Shoot, that confirms that Nightlord bosses can attack you in the overworld.

Unironically a good idea

Honestly kind of disappointing. They said that even stuff like cave entrances, gaols and bird taxi are static.
Stuff like the volcano crater appearing is cool, but the way they put it it's not entirely random either, you can get it as a modifier before starting, and it sounds like it's always in the same place, too.
They'd better have A LOT of dynamic random events in the game, or it will get old quickly.

it's 40-45 minutes per run if you make it to the end

I could genuinely get behind this.

ironeye invades you

just keeps his distance and pelts you with arrows

all the while you're trying to rush the area to level up and defeat as many bosses as possible

absolute cancer, 0 chances they'll add that, thank god

Why does that confirm it? Are you assuming that he's related to that level draining event?
But yeah, actually it does seem like you'll be able to fight the nightlords in the normal world - they've shown that gaping jaw boss before in both the normal world and the nightlord area.
Maybe once you defeat them they just get added to the pool of possible bosses in future runs.

could be like Margit where they occassionally harass a player until the nightlord fight.

they look comparable to radahn almost. killing radahn in coop is a total crapshoot

nah this sounds like bullshit, no way the game is actually difficult.

t. steamrolled the network test with randoms several times

Any info on how playable/fun solo is? Really hate multiplayer.

it's been confirmed the game only has 1 map

where?

You can see "Sentient Pest" as the boss name when they approach the level draining guy in the regular world.
Oroboro said that Libra annihilated most of the runs against him, and Gladius (the guy we fought in the network test) is the easiest of the fights.
There are apparently ways to get self-revives

Just buy friends bro

People said that Libra kicked everyone's ass hard at PAX. We'll see.
There is a solo mode, but while the trio has been tested multiple times during multiple events, nobody ever got to play the solo mode as far as I know, so we can only guess.

apparently they do have a mode balanced for solo.

watch the video nigger, Limgra- I mean LIMVELD is the only map in the game

You will never get information about the solo mode

You will never get the Executor trailer

You will never get the Revenant trailer

No custom gliders or dance emotes

Is a gamer not entitled to hit the griddy after killing a boss?

You can see "Sentient Pest" as the boss name when they approach the level draining guy

Right, I missed that popping up. We can see a bit of a silluette, too. Something big with 4 wings.
I hope all the nightlords have their own special event/mechanic accompanying their appearance in the normal world.

Blah blah, trio, solo, whatever.
God I hope they'll add a duo mode.

Wait, this is only seven out of eight

nobody tell him
just have them control black phantom versions of NPCs

Oroboro said that Libra annihilated most of the runs against him

Oroboro also said that his teammates lied when they said they knew how to play Elden Ring, so he was practically carrying 2 shitters while also dealing with the increased difficulty meant for 3 players.

*One shitter
He also said that he got some really good players from the audience, too. Libra still had a 20% success rate.

killing radahn in coop is a total crapshoot

This is mostly because the health pool is so inflated in coop. A ton of ER boss fights are easier solo. Considering this game is built from the ground up with coop in mind and that it's appealing towards the freaks who are okay with losing a run due to bad RNG with items it'll probably be fine for the inevitably small but dedicated playerbase this game will end up with.
They're pink, obviously.

nah, 2 people were always the invitied youtubers, and then they took 1 person from the audience. Sometimes it was someone good, sometimes it was someone shit. But he said that overall, for the whole event, Libra had around a 20% beat rate, so it still sounds rough.

obviously they're silvery pale, like her hair

doesn't the goat man use madness against you, and it's effective against him? the lore seems cool from what we've seen

Actually this is better than pink, yea, I agree with you.

Daily reminder that the Wylder is Artorias and you get his armor from completing his quest

have you never seen a nigger naked before? no way her nipples are pink you're off your rocker

Wylder is actually the Pursuer

and it's effective against him?

maybe it's a mistranslation and they meant that's what he uses? It would be very strange for any boss to be vulnerable to madness. Madness is not a damage type after all, it's a status effect, and a status effect that ONLY works on other players in the base game.

They should have done this a long time ago. When you invade, you should be randomly assigned to an NPC from a pool of characters that are based around the theme of the area. Actually they should have just copied L4D's versus mode and created areas curated specifically for that kind of experience instead of whatever Nightreign is.

the lore seems cool from what we've seen

Honestly a lot of the game just seems like a bunch of cool shit people at From thought up but couldn't find a way to fit in to any other game. The same way this game feels like something that someone high up in From wanted and just got them to make. There's definitely a market for it though
She's not fucking real you retarded faggot. Besides her skin isn't "black" it's literally fucking black. She's very probably some kind of Nox inspired offshoot race not some kind of african so if I want to say she's got pink or silver nipples and asshole then her nipples are silver and her asshole is pink.

so if I want to say she's got pink or silver nipples and asshole then her nipples are silver and her asshole is pink.

and is the bird guy Solaire too? don't be stupid, it's just a skin

Solaire became a birdman shortly before transforming into the desert worm of carthus

does this game even have any progression? Or do you lose everything between "runs"

Nah, the ds2 skin is just a "remember that?" moment, the Artorias one is the quest reward

It does, yes

You get rewards at the end of runs that you can use that give buffs to characters but all the gear you get during a run is exclusive to that run.

You get some relics than can be equipped before runs, shit like "more holy damage" or "skill cooldwons are shorter"

you uncover lore between matches, and do objectives to get more, get currency to buy skins after each match, and get powerups with random shit after. so far that's what we know.

and also lady maria became a firekeeper
and zullie the witch turned herself black

First Miyazaki doesn't let me hit Miquellas bussy and now this April fool joke of a game. From soft more like fell off

zullie the witch

why do people actually think they're a woman when its clearly a tranny? genuinely curious.

the final night lord looks like the Elden Beast

i would've been interested in this if the combat was like sekiro, to me the main draw of elden ring was the exploration, the combat wasn't that good.

and ironeye is actually pharis and executor is actually sekiro

he is talking about zullie the npc you retarded tranny lover

yes, zullie the witch, the tranny youtuber is actually in ***htreign

Where's the Alva armor

it's been confirmed the game only has 1 map; sites of grace, evergaols, caves, spiritsprings are all static

I can't say I'm all that surprised.
Feels like a $15 DLC that has for some reason been turned into a $40 standalone title.

Wylder

Brody obsessed with penises being hidden

I'm not buying a switch 2 tho

where we droppin boys

Do I get fucked if I don't get the deluxe edition? I've been a piratefag my whole life and I'm almost considering buying this shit, BUT the deluxe edition is overpriced as hell

hurf durf gtfo brown

no

windmill town

What the game should be: Risk of Rain 2 with Dark Souls combat

What the game is: Half assed

yes, miyazaki will come to your house and penetrate you

why would you get fucked? isn't the delux edition just game + season pass? might as well buy base and get any future dlcs if you still feel like playing more than

limgrave is the most boring area in the game and is the only one they add
i mean lol

I really feel like the spawn rate for it was buggy

Is there anything that prevents me and my boys from just splitting up within the circle and soloing different corners of the map

no caelid map

kuso

I'm a male-feminist writer from california????

Besides it being riskier, no.

Only one map

I will now not play your game

There's barely any punishment for death.

oh...what's the loss condition then

No, you can do that. I guess you can get runes faster that way, but if any of you kill a boss, you still need to get to that location to pick up the reward, so idk if there's much point to that.

You lose a soul level

i really want to
estus with you
we could be pro nightreign gamers
pro nightreign gamers

How do you lose a run though? Entire team has to be dead? Seems like it's practically lossproof

when you die in the overworld you lose levels, if all the players/you die during a "night" boss fight you fail the run

Buying two copies now

All players have to die
Basically means that the only way you're actually losing a run is out of complacency or the final boss takes you out

in the network test

you are the nigger here.

If you all die to a night boss, you lose the run.
Dying outside of that causes you to lose a level.

Steam bros seem okay with it. 10th top seller, 12 global seller if you remove all the free games. We are far from the release date. This is looking to be a huge success.

What a shit concept for a game
Too afraid to make it a multiplayer souls-like and too afraid to make an actual rogue-like
How did this get greenlit

Apparently the network test was super easy

ehhh I dont know if I'm getting this

I don't see what's wrong with it. Seems fine to me. Gives a reasonable lose condition without things being too punishing.

the new boss they showed at PAX apparently kicked everyone's ass though
supposedly there's a linear progression of unlocking the nightlords, and the network test one was the first, and thus the easiest one
but we'll see I suppose

Why dont all the nightlords have a different map?
Elden Ring is filled with assets they could've repurposed. i.e. A Caelid area, a mountaintop area, an altus plateau area, etc

you gotta stop coping and learn how to listen nigger, IGN has access to the final build of the game and they practically confirmed Limveld is the only map, if they wanted to say "Limveld is not the only map in the game" they would've done so already, they don't even have to show any footage of them.

Limveld being the only map was confirmed right when the game was announced

fix'd

If you die all you lose is a fucking level

Fuck that if you die you should go on fucking spectator mode until the next day. Fuck you for dying shitter.

You should go into spectator mode until someone revives you using a revival item
Revival items are awarded in chests (rare) and world minibosses (always)
This is basic shit man

that would be insanely boring, thank god you're not a game designer

That's retarded, anon. Losing a level is already a huge loss since people struggle to even reach level 12 on some runs.

Losing a level is already a huge loss

it really isn't.

It really is

it is
have you seen the healthbars you start with?
also if you end a run (40-45 min) at around level 12-14 max, then death sets you back around 3-4 minutes (in addition to the time crawling on the ground and returning to the spot the rest of the players are). That's a lot for a time sensitive game.

Why is Japan still making low effort slop like this constantly while China and Korea have stepped up game development and innovation in a huge way?

Expedition 33, Lies of P, Stellar Blade, Black Myth Wukong, and all the huge gacha on the horizon make Nightreign look like a low budget cash in.

congratulations, you invented The Duskbloods

Are you implying 20 minutes is a long time or what?

die to a miniboss

lose level

go back to kill miniboss (his healthbar doesn't reset btw)

recover level

it isn't

Just permanently lost another potential level up because he died

Only gets to level 10

Dies to the boss

Fromsoft smarr indie studio, prease undastandu

I remember one of the shilly fromsoft jewtubers swearing up and down that OBVIOUSLY the game wouldn't just be Limveld and OBVIOUSLY each new nightlord is going to be a different map and that OBVIOUSLY anyone claiming Limvepd is the only map is doomposting

die

lose all your souls and a level

be weaker than other team mates if you don’t go back for them

Huh?

Yea you just needed bleed/frost and even then you close lose if you had bad team mates

I remember the game's director saying that it's one map from the start that will have variants

practically

as in, not literally.

have you seen the healthbars you start with?

Yes I've also seen that health is irrelevant because you can just gangbeat every enemy with 3 players like every souls game

Anon is just retarded

thanks for beta testing The Duskbloods!

Guess this anon doesn’t know weapons are level locked

nightreign is cheaper than a standard fromsoft game. it is a low budget low cost game for fromsoft.

Every fight in this video is just the same Souls MP gangbang as every soulsgame AI can't even handle 2 players let alone 3 especially when they can stagger per swing

video games are dead since long time ago and you muricans and euros killed it with nigger,s muslims and other human abominations in our games , so stfu about anything non west related you disgusting mutts

Anon follow the fucking reply chain, this all started from an anon asking what’s the harm just splitting up at the start so you you’re not going have two other people to help

No? It started from someone saying that there's no meaningful penalty for dying

This game looks awful, just awful. Fromsoft is the greatest studio around though so I look forward to learning why I am wrong.
Same with GTA 6.

1 map

Barely any randomization

Game is just going to devolve into "Go to the easiest spot first, trivialize the rest of the map"

Even if you fuck up and die you're hardly hurt by it

wow...fun

Why is Anon Babble somehow the most retarded place when it comes to talking about any video game?

The network test very quickly devolved into "rush the estus upgrades and every frost/bleed area and ignore everything else unless you have time to kill"

Browns.

Every preview I've read for this game makes it sound like you have to rush through everything because of the timer being too strict

No, but you'll get less loot overall that way. When you kill a boss it doesn't just spawn the loot it drops at everyone's feet but where the boss died. You're incentivized to be fairly close together since half of the progression in each run is gear based.

tortanic niggers preemptively shitting on every game

one retard dies because he ran off solo halfway across the map

the entire run fails and wastes 20 minutes of your time

No, it's fine you belligerent fucking ape.

they are making it easier, dumbo

A combination of both of these:
with an addition of never having played the video games they're screeching about.

plays with shitters

gets made when they play shitty

WOW

Games like this and Helldivers just become too repetitive after 25 hours

nope, they made it more difficult
supposedly they increased the health and damage of Gladius, but I guess it wasn't enough for pax

I don't even think this game has that much in it. If I had some friends that were interested I'd grab it but I don't think I'll even purchase it. First From title I'm skipping in a long fucking time.

I got 15 hours out of the Network test, and that had less than an eighth of what the actual game has. I think that's pretty well worth $40.

That's the main concern. At least with 8 bosses you unlock sequentially, and the character specific quests for each of the 8 playable characters, there's an alright amount of story content to give incentive to play more. I just hope the map changes and events are common and significant.

Yea, that's why the system punishes that player exclusively rather than the entire team you moron.

makes Nightreign look like a low budget cash in

That's because that's what it is

If this game had voice comms I'd probably buy it just for the bantz but its so quite and dead with randoms.

the timer is probably the one worst feature for me
it's the antithesis to how souls should be played

runs across the map

loses 5 soul levels

your team still loses because of them

Main team is making a Nintendo exclusive Tarkov Souls extraction game with pre selected characters

Theoretically, but you can still clutch out with 2 players and a third meat shield. It's better than the entire run being immediately shit canned because a single person dies.

at least games like helldivers or vermintide actually have the gameplay designed around the gamemode, and have map variety and characterization that supports it
souls gameplay has never been good for coop. The AI isn't designed around it, the bosses aren't designed around it. It would be a different story if it had monster hunter bosses or something. But open world coop souls bossrush is like all the worst aspects of souls.

But helldivers gets updates? The fuck you mean anon

killing videogames

i'm so going to buy it now

8 characters * 8 bosses * (40/60) minutes = 42.66 hours to complete the game assuming a player wins every single run their first time (they won't)
That's about a third of what it took me to 100% all of ER base game. The price for this is about double what it should be by this metric; but even if we take into account the fact that players will fail many runs there's the fact that very little of the game is new or novel since 95% of it is asset re-use.
I still don't understand why they don't just copy paste Monster Hunter's AI instead of whatever MMO aggro-based retardation they have going.

zullie the witch going to be black soon

Reminder that literally no one played Recluse at either Nightreign event last week.

Guess the skins for the characters
Wylder = Artorias
Guardian = Solaire
we know these, what about the rest?

no pvp

game will be forgotten and dead in two weeks. overhyped by fromfags that suck off anything by they release

didn't play the network test, but recluse seems like it has a more complicated playstyle than the others.

the event was all people who hadn't played the game

people will put all the new stuff into vanilla elden ring and pvp there instead

Faraam for Wylder as well.

Duchess = Ciaran
Recluse = Zullie
Ironeye = Pharis for the lack of other notable archers. Would be cool to have a greatbow Silver Knight though.
Raider = Havel? No shield though, so maybe not. Velstadt maybe?
Executioner = Shiva or Alonne
Revenant = I still don't know what weapon will she be using, since she's always portrayed with a harp. Maybe a Friede or firekeeper skin?

Revenant

Friede according to rumors from a japanese event

I hope they also bring friede's scythe

It’s legitimately too big brain for normal folk. It does a shit ton of damage tho

If they do this I will buy the game and play it.

Stop anon you're gonna make me pre-order

Ironeye already has a Leonhard skin, so they're not limiting skins to archetypes

can i7 8700k run the game 1440p or no, chat?

why are we talking about resolution with the cpu sarr

She's black. Executor playerbase will fall off a cliff once people find out too.

its literally combo spreadshit for 3 effects, how is that complicated

remembers normoids are sub 90iq

ahh makes sense

Rush the castle or no balls.

Never expected you'd be grown up arguing about a fictional woman's anus colour did ya kid?

all these replies agreeing

One of the selling points of Dark Souls was that you could plan your build to PvE or PvP invasions. What's the point of invading if you can't go crazy with your build ideas?

so is Anon Babble liking the game or not? im confusion

Let me ask the Anon Babble president, he's writing the official Anon Babble declaration™

They could have deeper design there, like base builds to select for several areas with gear and spells to choose to bring. They could do a lot with these systems, I wish I could say they've done nothing but instead with Elden Ring they actively hobbled the multiplayer potential relative to older games.

What's the point of invading if you can't go crazy with your build ideas?

killing PvE niggers? the griefing potential would be immense in a roguelike game

Everyone in general accepted that this is cashgrab slop and wouldn't pull any remarkable numbers. It's just a glorified mod at overprice. We got a few doomposting but they even know it's not worth to post seeing the bleak future this game already has.

idk

it should have been pvpve

first 3 days are open zone where you farm, each team is different color

you farm pve for items, fight pvp

last standing team gets to fight nightlord

Everyone in general accepted that this is cashgrab slop and wouldn't pull any remarkable numbers

source?

I already game opinion. tm

I thought they said there would be 8 nightlords? The last must be hidden.

wouldn't pull any remarkable numbers

fromsoft name + eldenring name
literally will sell minimum 2mil+ units

wow this game looks so cool i bet theres lots of cool lore to talk about on the items

literally will sell minimum 2mil+ units

what a safe bet, it will easily go beyond 10M

8th nightlord not shown

it is consort radahn
they weren't allowed to show as it might have caused a pre-order sales downturn due to potential outrage online

I have eyes and ears to tell that not even most dedicated Fromfags across the net are excited and are avoiding this like the plague.

you're not nearly as important as you think you are.

yeah fuck potential buyers, Nightreign doesn't even need people buying it to be a massive success

in this thread we guess metacritic and ign scores respectively
take your jab anons

metacritic 89

ign 8

only 1 map

said 1 map is full of literal copypasted chunks that are literally RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER

This is peak low effort slop, you have to be the dumbest cattle on the planet to get tricked into buying this

tfw Khazan just dropped a free boss rush mode

I'm not poor so I will buy it, cope and seethe DS2tranny

86

7/10 1 MAP I DON'T KNOW WHY

Still too high for it but it has that bonus that journos are afraid to miss out on every time. I wish they are harsher this time.

Shazamtrannies finally woke up

it's over

86 and will be criticized in relation to elden ring despite basically being a totally different genre

I loved Elden Ring but this honestly looks like a shameless cashgrab.

Convince me otherwise?

Fromsoftware KNEELS to DS2 kings

Convince me otherwise?

All non-indie games are cashgrab, big gamedevs are not your friends

The gameplay is more fun than Elden Ring's

Fromsoft Derangement Syndrome group tantrum thread #2356

Loool

game seems like a scam
what does it cost? 50 dollars? for 8 bosses with half of them from old games and with limited movesets? and 1 map?
a monster hunter expansion is 40 bucks for like 40 monsters each with a moveset so good you won't master them before fighting them a hundred times, and that's just with one weapon, and the add many new maps to explore

hopes and dreams

an actual 60

reality

80 something which is too high

FROM is cashing out and siphoning all of the goodwill they've built up. If you fall for this, you deserve to get scammed.

doubting based FromGODS again

I've seen this many times, prepare to kneel Anon Babble

I've thought of something similar a lot of times, but it should be one method of invasion instead of the only type.
It's really a shame that From stopped experimenting with the PVP system. There's a lot of other stuff they could do.

Actual incentives for hosts to try to kill invaders like rare weapon drops

Mad phantoms return

Gravelords revised to work in NG, gain souls/runes/whatever for every victim killed by a red phantom NPC, and get a variant where they can invade a specific world as a "curse phantom" that can't directly harm the host but can summon and buff enemies

Invading through bloodstains to copy the host's build

Sin system and Blades of the Dark Moon brought back

Only reason I'm getting this is to play with Anon Babble

Anon Babble hates this game. You'll just play with alot of ADHD TikTokers and Redditors.

It's funny how that meme vanished off the face of the earth the moment the game came out.

s-stupid! I'm not interested in playing with you... but i-if you insist...

it's the same mechanics with only open world areas
how is that more fun?

Characters are more unique, combat is more condensed

more soulstrash

When will you zoomers learn that buying the same slop at full price is a scam?

i hope ongbal peeve and oroboro coop together imagine the skill

Maybe I'll get the deluxe edition, I was already going to get the normal one but you convinced me.

the AAA industry needs to crash anyway

this and blood was just made to hold people over until elden ring 2

I can tell, just look at how they throw it to b-team and hardly put marketing behind it

sheesh cuh dark souls finna do be wuite bussin doe no cap sheesh fr fr ong

Pvp shit is what duskblood is for, but it's only a switch 2 exclusive

PvP could've been a separate gamemode, they could've copied Naraka: Bladepoint; all characters have the same stats and can wield any weapon effectively, only thing that differentiates them from each other are their skills

cringegami

ew no thanks

i cant wait to play with the homeboys

removes all the ER bloat

I might buy it

by that you mean they removed all the actual dungeons and rpg mechanics and just made a boss rush

It’s just going be on the switch for at max a year , still no fucking idea why mske it switch 2 only. Like switch players aren’t known for playing they type of PvP game

Who cares nigga I earn 50 dollars in 2 hours

Do you charge extra for swallowing?

Just because a loud few shit talk the game doesn’t mean there isn’t going be daily Anon Babble lobbies

Anon you forget a majority of Anon Babble are poor 3rd worlders so 50$ is like their whole monthly pay
