These Nightreign classes look fun as hell

class balance is absolutely retarded
Lets look at the Exec:

skill locks you into a shit no dps weapon where you cant sprint

ultimate transforms you in a giant no dps dog with no dodge that can be staggered and damaged and killed like normal

meanwhile Duchess spammable skill will do 1000 bazillion damage if used after a bleed proc

t-thank you Ishizaki-sama, so fun arigato! fuck back to Dark Souls 2 you goddam hack

ive been noticing a lot more anons saying "look" instead of "are". is this a meme or do anons actually not play vidya anymore?

Ishizaki

Dark Souls 3 sorry

online "battle royale" with 2 people you need to cooperate with

no chat

no voice chat

no in-depth ping system

If you don't have 2 friends to play with all the time you are forced to play with 2 randoms you have 0 ways to communicate with, nice "game". Not even mentioning lack of cross-platform when nowadays even shooters are cross platform.

My first and only win yesterday came from being the rando in a duo named "Elden Bussy" and "Elden Trussy" KEK

Looking at a few streams, the bird man seems to overall be straight trash.

Can you actually play this solo?

It looks fun because you're not playing it

Most ults are pretty shit

Duchess just turns you invisible for a sec

Revenant turns everyone immortal (this means you can still het hit, get staggered and lose hp, you just don't go below 1 hp for a couple of seconds)

Raider just spawns a pillar under himself

Guardian does a divebomb that gives any boss enough time to walk to the other side of the screen

He is and so is the barbarian dude.
Best are Duchess and Iron Eye (if you get a good bow) imo
Exec / Wylder / Revenant / Boobies are the mid tier

Wylder needs his own game

yes but the nighlords are very much designed for 1v3s. They're either over aggressive or have a gimmick or two that targets multiple characters
like Gladies, the first nightlord splits into three dogs that attack simultaneously
They're probably going to balance the game for solo later

Most ults are just used for free revives.
The Raider is surprisingly the most flexible one but nobody plays Raider, he is so shit

is this a meme

Zoomers do not experience life outside their screens. Truly a cursed generation

In theory, yes. But it's obvious the whole world/mobs density/difficulty was made for 3-men parties and playing solo is a bad experience. Imo they should re-balance the game around the solo plays and add 2 men party and balance around that mode too.

What’s a trussy

He's horrible. His windwhirl skill is completely useless against bosses

What does deflecting even do? does it break their stance like in sekiro or is it just a meme?

Fucking nuts to me that reviews are saying that the classes bring variety to the game when other than Recluse, none of them do anything mechanically interesting. Oh wow a 10 second cd skill that does fucking nothing beyond a statistical change (enemy takes increased damage). When I read the ironeye dagger skill that stated it would create a weak point, I expected something like the wound in MHWilds that's an actual spot on the body that changes where you wanna hit the eneny, but no, fromsoft combat mechanics have to be as shallow as humanly possible

What were they thinking with the Recluse?

Have to use your slow ass ability every other cast because otherwise you will run out of FP

When you have 3 charges you actually get punished because the skill takes 10000 years to use and generally does fuck all damage or is simply punishes you (3 lightning) because the effect isn,t something you want to rely on to win

Spells do pitiful damage

When I played her I literally was more useful doing bleed procs with claws.

Fromtrannies are pathetic

luv me duchess

It can break stance like Sekiro, and it also powers up the sword's L2. Throw in some guard counters out of your deflects and you can shit all over a lot of bosses.

trans pussy

Almost defeated Libra. I did not expect it to be that stressful to fight
the deals he gives are pretty shit desu

das2 was goated, only noobs think otherwise.

see

AI generated opposite version of already known meme

nice try. 2 million copies and counting

when have fromsoft ever not been fucking DOGSHIT at balancing secondary mechanics? it took elden ring like 2 years of patches for 90% of the weapons to stop being useless

giant monster transformation barely does any damage

wtf

?

that doesnt change what i said nigger

We could have stuff like this in real games if not for PVPcuc*s

The classes and combat improvements are great but game is awful community tier shitmod

So we only have the 1 webm?
Weakest shill thread today.

discord shazam-trannies actually shopped an anti-meme of themselves after being exposed

holy shit we are reaching critical level of copium
I love Anon Babble schizoprenia vidya wars kek

Funnigangy

NigminAncnigrr

Wylder is literally just playing Elden Ring but with an extra iframe button. Slap Bloodhound Step on your weapon and you get the same essential experience.

From games always had this weird issue for online where there are only 2 regions, Japan and "rest of the world" so even if you lock it by region you can still get a Chinese dude with 5000 ping because that's in your "region"

I don't know how people put up with this shit.

that transformation

Someone at From sure played Wookie Kong.

You forget it’s a full heal and it’s charged blade in big mode is a stagger

fun as hell
for the first 30 minutes, sure
there really isn't much replayability to the whole game, even when it was built from ground up to be "replayable", it's more repetitive than a moba, and that's saying something
the meta progression feels tacked on and severely lacking in options, and that should've been the fucking selling point, so that future runs would be wildly different, but no

Well, at least they managed to make a game in the same vein as their single-player titles

His hook is good.

more webms this looks cool

2m sold

you mean PLAYERS?
If they don't specifically say "sold", you know the sales numbers aren't as impressive, so they find every conceivable thing that can be count as a "player"

GAYmingancHOr

>Revenant turns everyone immortal (this means you can still het hit, get staggered and lose hp, you just don't go below 1 hp for a couple of seconds)

classic fromsoftware half-assed, "no fun allowed" bullshit. hiring miyazaki was a fucking mistake

fromsoftware could literally release elden ring again with 0 changes, said "we want more money lmao", and it would sell million copies

how many of these images are actually real and how many of these images are just a guy talking to himself in discord with different names and framing it as a conspiracy

No, we specifically know these are sales. Nightreign isn't on any subscription services.

WOWZERS
is than an Ultimate Technique (UT)? damn that was EPIC

But that's exactly something you DON'T know
I deliberately didn't even mention subscription services
A unique player ID can come from someone who only boots up the game once and immediately refunds, then their log says "oh, +1 player", and free copies come in many forms
you can't be that fucking gullible

Riddle me this, why didn't they say "sales" but instead "players"?

Riddle me this, why didn't they say "sales" but instead "players"?

Well looking into it, they actually did mention sales

“Pre-orders and early sales have pushed the game beyond the incredible 2 million units milestone,” publisher Bandai Namco announced.

Any tips for executor, I tried playing it like I did with Sekiro and got shit on.

Is the deflect mainly a defensive option, or is guard counters a legitimate attack option?

They should make it so revenant's ult could revive downed allies

Duchess proving Bloodborne is still the GOAT Fromsouls.

i tried this but it didnt seem to give me 2 ultimate charges what the fuck does ultimate gauge +1 mean

this one is definitely fake as fuck lmao
Never seen it once during that era, it was only the shazam trannies discord infiltration

probably charging ultimate energy +1 unit faster

Duchess just turns you invisible for a sec

Lasts quite a while and allows you to resurrect people when downed without getting pestered, as well as to avoid shit like those pots that the giants throw. Also works on some bosses, like Margit.

Revenant turns everyone immortal (this means you can still het hit, get staggered and lose hp, you just don't go below 1 hp for a couple of seconds)

You can go full trade mode, and it revives everyone from downed state. If your two friends are down at three bars, it's very difficult to get them up by slapping them, so the ult comes in clutch.

Raider just spawns a pillar under himself

Pillar that does aoe damage when summoned, offers elevation (free plunging attacks), and gives a damage buff to everyone

Guardian does a divebomb that gives any boss enough time to walk to the other side of the screen

The dive bomb is great against a mob of enemies, does enough damage to resurrect party members in a pinch and offers a defense buff to allies.

Guardian makes your allies in the AOE take no damage (gotta hold the ult buttons). The problem is nobody fkn knows this because it looks like the slam itself is all there is to it, so your allies will leave the AOE so you just sit in the circle looking at the ground like a retard.

God gamers of Anon Babble at work again I see.

It doesn't do hella damage, it's worthless!

Does it run like shit? I have a toaster.

God jezus. More fucking parry and block gameplay. NEXT!

Fellow Shazamtrannies, I think we should just accept that this is a lost cause and move to shitposting duskbloods

It boggles the mind that the wider gaming community now regards this shallow, one-note combat system as the peak of action gaming.

You have to admit, it does grounded melee combat pretty good. Anything ranged is insane shit tho

If Elden Ring works for you, you'll have no problems.

I mostly use deflect against bosses sice they're much less chaotic
works wonders on nightlords since even if you get guard broken by their strongest attacks you take no damage
also the animation that gets you in and out of the stance counts as a deflect so you can attack with normal weapons and press triangle+L2 to deflect instantly
and the katana attacks, despite being wraker than normal weapons (usually), consume much less stamina so they're really good for reviving allies
successful deflects also deal stance damage and you can actually stagger an enemy with nothing but deflects
don't know about guard counters since I need to test them still

HAHAHAHHA

BRUH MUH PARRY

MUYH PARRY MOFFUGA LOOK HOW FUKKEN EPIC

LOOK PARRY EPIC ME BRAINDEDAD

PFFFFFFFFFFFTTTTTTTTTTTTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA OLY SHIT YOU NORMIES ARE BEYOND SALVATION

MUH PARRY MUHFFUGGEN

lmao the conspicuous lack of replies to this post
xe must have skittered back to the ‘cord like a cockroach after being caught in xer lies

Game's fucking dank.

Have the single revive item

we've nearly got the bigmouth guy down

I self-res

start trying to pound recluse back to life

ult comes off cooldown

RAISE HER INTO THE SKY SO I CAN RES HER WHILE BEING SAFE ATOP THE PILLAR

We lose anyways

press R3 to read what a skill does you stupid nigger

I hate the dog transformation so much. Janky ass shit hitbox type of thing.

punching is a fantasy class

say no more

why is it so goddam hard to melee hit dying players? that shit is infuriating on bosses

What's that saying about shoes and feet

Yeah you can RP as HOOOOOOAAARRAAH LOOOOUUUX WARRRIOORRRRRR if you take a fist weapon as Raider.

It would look much better without the retarded rolls.

You want to use guard counters just the same as you would in ER proper, don't throw them out on every attack but go for it when there's an opening and you'll get extra chunks of damage and quick stance breaks. Try to focus on effects that proc on successful guards and guard counters to complement it further. If you played around with the deflecting tear from SOTE then it works on pretty much the exact same logic, you can deflect anything that's not a grab so don't panic. If you need to haul ass you can hit L3 to go straight into a sprint without having to manually put the sword away.

It's even worse ranged when the dead dude is next to an enemy, the game refuses to lock onto the teammate

Post the griddy werewolf.

i think they made the hitbox like your actual character model on the ground. so without an ult like guardian slam or range attacks, you literally have to be locked on and right next to them so your attacks swing downwards.
they should make the hitbox like a pillar or sphere so it has some leeway especially above you.

What's wrong with parrying exactly?

wtf how do you unsheathe into cursed sword?

there are people in this thread that don't defeat every boss on first try

nu-Anon Babble is trash at vidya, huh.

anon just go to the training area it will spell the buttons for you

For me it takes 2-3 tries with randos. No idea how people have 10+ runs without winning a single one

moving goalposts, rolling and evasion is bad gameplay, parrying is bad gameplay, everything is slop

The other replies kinda summed it up but heres a condensed one.

Any tips for executor

You can deflect almost anything afaik. This includes physical/magical projectiles, most offensive spells and even multi hit aoe attacks, such as those from the demihuman sword nigga boss.

Is the deflect mainly a defensive option

There's more nuance than that, but mainly it is a defensive form as the cursed sword doesn't compare to other katanas in damage and it doesn't cause bleed. Get used to pulling it out as a reaction to enemy aggro.

The gaping maw dragon fight is legitimately terrible I just beat him with a Duchess (me), ironeye, wylder party
I always thought the complaints about Elden Beast running away in base Elden Ring where overblown but this stupid asshole is an exercise in sprinting to catch up to the boss then being out of stamina so you can't hit him and then he runs away again. I think he's supposed to be like that and you're supposed to make him sit still with the vomit animation but there was no poison stuff on the map that run so we just got screwed out of it.

but this stupid asshole is an exercise in sprinting to catch up

I fought the map boss "Radagon red fox" and he legits spends 95% of the fight running at mach speed. who the fuck designed this?
Also the mausoleum knights phasing is pure cancer for melee classes.

The bugs and the jelly dragon are also like this. those two in particular are pretty easy but they are so tanky and keep either running/flying away or going invincible for some time

I hate how every single Fromsoft game has almost zero interactivity for the enemies. You can make the bar go down, maybe stagger it if you hit it extra hard, maybe you can cut the tail, and that's it. Compare it to a dogshit old game like Dragon's Dogma:

Cyclops enemy

Can make it lose balance by hitting it hard, then jumping onto it

Can stun it with lightning

Can snap off its tusks to make it enraged

Can climb on top its helmet so it takes it off

Can snap off parts of its armor

Yeah I'm just not feeling it. I'm going back to normal ER.

How the fuck do I do the personal quests? I have to defeat an invader ironeye as ironeye but it seems completely random for one to spawn in the map? I don't see any markers for it

is matchmaking bugged for remembrances?
can't seem to match with anyone

maybe you can cut the tail

is there any example of this in the newer games?

What's wrong with any of those thoughover?

No because it's kinda bad design that tailcut rewards are a 1 time chance and some co-op partner might just ruin your chance of getting a tail sword for a whole playthrough

nothing, shitposters gonna shitpost

Anime post

irrelevant time wasting opinion

Don't waste your time

it's honestly better to just do it solo for those, then die and continue the quest. that way it's guaranteed your quest.

Man, why didn't they just make him an actual samurai? Medieval armor and katanas just don't match, there's too much shit going on with that ensemble, I hate it.

randoms always do dumb shit like run halfway across the maps for the flash charges

field bosses on first day

bothering with trash mobs on day two

revenant but not summoning

duchess but not using reprise

executor but not deflecting

It's an homage to dark souls2

It's weird that you have to switch weapons to use his skill. It means you either don't get new weapons or you don't get a skill. You can alternate between the two, but it doesn't really make sense to do it in combat. One is always going to be better than the other, so you either never use your skill or you always use it but you pull out your weapon for sprinting (i.e. never actually use it). The ultimate, while cool, has trouble actually hitting enemies half the time since its large erratic movements and massive hitbox mean you're constantly sliding off them. Whenever you finally do feel like you've got a good aim on the enemy, it's because they have a good aim on you, too, and before you know it, you're dead. You get an HP boost in your ultimate form, but without defensive maneuvers, all you can do is attack or run away, and you're a big target, so it's easy to accidentally die when you think you're doing well. And this is an "ultimate." Ironically, for a katana-wielder, his entire kit feels like a double-edged sword. I don't remember what his passive does, I'm pretty sure no one notices it.

Raider doesn't have a passive. His passive only affects his skill. If you have two abilities and one ability does nothing other than enhance the other ability, then you do not actually have two separate abilities, you have one ability whose description is separated into two spots for some reason. His skill is cool, but his ultimate feels like it lacks utility. Allies often don't realize he's used it until it's about to disappear and mantling in this game is so bad that 75% of the time you can't even climb it.

5 hours in and I still didn't beat even first night solo
I HATE IT
You unironically need to be a GOD from ER webms with Malenia to beat the game. Risk of Rain is easy than this.

I feel like you can't analyze half the shit in this game being good or not unless you have good teammates.

In addition to what the other two said, there's no solo revive mechanic, so if you die during the day you instantly lose a level and if you die during the night the run instantly ends.

The game is not even remotely balanced for solo play.

I mean I didn't buy shitereign either but really now is discussing gameplay elements shilling now?

solo

there's a coordinated attack against the game right now from a discord server

I can get to day 3 solo, but killing 3dog solo is out of the question. He's extremely aggressive, has a shit gazillion HP, and can legit one shot a lot of classes at level 10.

Confirmation bias and severely outdated image.

Her spell damage is massive if you're using the right abilities and needing to absorb for mana is the only good way to have the class interact with a mana pool in this game structure
I'll agree on the 2nd point though, the 3 element concoction should be something you want to use, not something you want to get rid of

Does LITERALLY EVERYTHING need to be so horribly fucking spongy? I get need to jack up enemy health with three players, but even on a solo run any regular mob will still tank 4-5 greatsword hits.

You shouldn't be level 10
Level 12 with a purple weapon is fairly normal

Max level is 15

Bro, your levels?

try to do personal quest

can't because only 1 person can do it at a time

Even if the target is the nightlord itself you can't do multiple of them at once.

I played 5 hours with Executer, but realized I never use the parry since it doesnt scale with anything so ive been playing Wylder just because his kit is actually useful and fun. it sucks that some classes dont find specific weapons at all, like executor cant find greatswords

It's weird that you have to switch weapons to use his skill.

It's really not. It took me a few hours to condition myself to switch to the cursed sword when I deemed aggro from the enemies warranting it. It doesn't replace your normal weapons as the damage doesn't compare, so you just swap between the stance and your normal weapons depending on the situation. I see a lot of shitters using the cursed sword only and getting assfisted while not doing anything due to the limited movement while wielding it.

doesn't know about the quick deflect

doesn't know you can hold the deflect button right after to block any and all damage

doesn't know about being able to reverse the ultimate instantly, turning into a free full heal

doesn't know ultimate is a free block on any grab attack

heres how you play solo:

1.5x damage

1.5x def

1.5x runes

otherwise have fun skipping every enemy with a shield because theyre a waste of time, killing one boss before the fog removes it, and getting one shot by an ancient dragon and theres no one to revive you

it sucks that some classes dont find specific weapons at all

It's the main variation between the classes. The "Archer" has less Dex and less health than Executor so the Executor can just equip a bow to deal more ranged damage than the Archer class, except you don't get higher level bow drops so you'd have to get lucky in a camp and then upgrade it the whole way

Why are Fromtroons like this?

I've never managed to go above level 12 in a group, much less solo where you're getting xp much slower due to lower damage output and are guaranteed to lose a level if you slip up and die.

The fact that shit has a dlc says alot about modern FS.

Keke at from and miki the maki

The left can't meme

Play Stellar Blade, white man's game instead of yellow japshit for insects.

HAHAHAHA FUCK YOU NIGGERS

Nokstella dragon guy

Man he's a lot more annoying than I remember. Who are the worst minibosses?

Settle down, zelda sis.

I played it on PS and it sucked. NR is garbage too.

Stellar Blade sold better.

You didn't beat the game!

yeah because its the greatest video game ever conceived. nightreign is elden ring co-op, therefore whats not to like?

Exec ult is pretty good. Free healing, good revives, shreds through horde fights. The damage is respectable enough especially when you don't have an amazing weapon. His skill is basically worthless.

The main reason to use Exec is his S-tier dex, which lets him get the most damage out of the best weapon types.

how did demon's souls end up becoming this?

stuff I like is selling well

You thought this was an own?

Years of media astroturffing and encouragement from retards to make the same thing but worse.

revenant when clearing camps

revenant when fighting bosses

GIVE BIRDPERSON MORE DAMAGE WTF FROMSOFT, THIS ISNT AN MMO, A DEFENSE CLASS MAKES NO FUCKING SENSE

Best selling game in their library anon. You may not like it but this is what its all been building to. Could be worse, couldve been Dragons Dogma, where it builds into regression.

Ironeye's Mark skill allows him to do more damage than the Executor with the same weapons, and also boosts the damage his teammates do as well. Meanwhile Executor's skill is absolutely worthless. I'd argue Exec has a better Ult, but Ironeye's isn't bad either.

The one thing Exec has going for him is actually his Arcane scaling. If I'm not mistaken (honestly my Elden Ring knowledge is a bit rusty), that Arcane scaling makes it much easier for the Exec to apply status like bleed.

I finished this game today using fling trainer on pc. Nightlords were pretty cool but I would never buy something like this.

Arcane scaling makes it much easier for the Exec to apply status like bleed

We don't really have a clue if this is true or not because the game doesn't show you and the flow of the game makes it unreasonably difficult to test anything. In ER Arcane only improves Bleed when the weapon specifically has Arcane scaling, so you don't get any benefit if you're using say a regular Uchigatana which has innate bleed but no Arc scale

there's also literally ZERO indication that it makes everyone invulnerable, even the ingame description says it gives "damage negation"
I only noticed because I was watching a teammate get hit and glanced over to see they took no damage

nightreign is elden ring co-op, therefore whats not to like?

its not like elden ring though. very little of the original elden ring charm remains. theres no grand adventure, no interesting new enemies, no careful progression through a meticulously crafted world. instead you drop into tomato township and run around killing soldiers (reused asset) so you can try to find a golden katana (reused asset) so you can dps down commander niall again (you better believe its a reused asset)

i've enjoyed all the souls games but maybe i'm not a true fan because i think this game is just straight up kinda badly made

I understand the haters because it is a cashgrab asset flip and it's barebones despite how low effort it is but still it has potential and just needs a few updates to become great.

I like nightreigns music better, I like the tone and atmosphere of GIT IN, KILL THEM ALL, FUCK OFF
I wish the game let you have a slight power fantasy though, getting bodied by a swarm of basic ass enemies in the first minutes of a run feels like shit. Also managine pings and the map is terrible.

Remove thyself, insect. Thou art a stain on the scutcheon of our order.

This is Elden Ring and you have two teammates. It isn't easy to tell when the enemy's massive wind-up swing is actually going to 180 and hit you.

The first, second and fourth points have nothing to do with what I said. The third does, but your argument is, "The transformation is good because you can automatically end it for a heal." If the transformation was good, you wouldn't want to end it.

use colossal weapon

keep missing teammate because animations slide you forward

classic fromslopware

the top one could be funKYSandy

I liked all of their action-RPGs, why don't I like their game which isn't an action-RPG?

Truly, a mystery for the ages...

More random events, add duos and voicechat, more unique relics and it wiill jump to a 10.

Can you res a downed team member in Guardian's ult? Or does it protect them from damage and attacking the downed body doesn't work?

Majora mask was reused assets and it was also good. Just like nightreign, having a blast running with friends. I think most of the hate comes from friendless losers honestly

... so it's not like elden ring? if you were to re-read my post, would you not discover that to be my point in the first place?

No idea. It's rezzed anytime I've used it near downed allies, but I can't remember if they only had 1 bar or not.

r1 does a sweeping attack that glides just above the player hitbox

At this point just force me to stand inside a circle or hold A over his dead body, good fucking grief

Fortnite circle ruins the game

A solo expedition balance patch is in the works, if rumors are to be believed.

check out long-time Souls streamers playing the game

they all received early copies, put 100 hours in, figured out the optimal way of playing and are bored of the game already

Guess I'll watch a cute Japanese girl instead.

What is the red flag in the upper left hand corner of the mountaintops? Not my picture, just the first from google

You said.

i've enjoyed all the souls games but maybe i'm not a true fan

This is hardly a Souls game. Souls games are dozens of hours long action-RPGs designed to be played solo with a mostly linear story. This is a hero-based co-op monster hunting extraction roguelite with a death ring. You can like Souls games and not like Nightreign, it's not even close to the same genre.

Each temporary area has some sort of secret to find on a stronger than usual world boss

Man those icons on the bottom look tacky as fuck, they don't fit the rest of the UI at all.

sp with no time limit mod when?

I don't think the game is even worth pirating

Its arguably one of the coolest points in the game, I wish it didnt siphon so much health though. Health in general seems too low for whats going on, you cant really build defensively, barring a shield so unless you pick burdman youre getting 2-3 shot by basic world bosses.

git gud

Its a run based speed game where youre constantly running around, mistakes are always bound to happen

unc, my point is that it's stupid as fuck to call the game ELDEN RING: nightreign when it's nothing like how elden ring was, save for the reused assets

game is designed for 3 players' worth of damage

players don't lose unless the boss eats through 3 players' worth of hp

all players share runes so level ups are balanced around a 3 player income

activate cheat that gives you 1.5 players' worth of damage, health and runes while solo

I don't see the problem here

Calling it Elden Ring makes perfect sense, its in the setting. What pisses me off is From not even trying to tie it into any real lore in any capacity. Metal Gear Survive tried harder to make itself make sense

It's a full revive. One of the only reasonable ways to revive 3 bars players without two players focusing.

It is tied to real lore. NR happens after the banishment of Hoarah Loux and the Tarnished to the badlands but before the tarnished are called back.

If you're interested in what the game is all about, it's worth it. Nightlords are visually very beautiful, but I refuse to run around like a zoomer from a squeezing anus, especially in co-op, and the game is not balanced for solo play.

Cheers lads, this has been helping on the last few runs. I thought I could just stay in the form for both attack and defense, but even at high levels it just isn't the same without status effects.

Now to learn how to parry every single boss in this game.

Coom posts doko?
Doll posts doko?

Admittedly if there's one thing I don't like about the game, it's that timer and urgency forcing you to play fast. But on the other hand there's really no other way to do it. If the timer is longer that just means players move urgently between a larger number of areas, and if they take it away people will grind absolutely everything

So it is worse than CoD and Madden.

Too bad they are stuck in a shit rougelite.

dont forget guys, when a crucible knight does stomp, you jump, then you dodge the second swing, then as he pulls his sword back yo do jump heavy
if you time it right you jump over his first swing, hit him as you come down and then youre in low profile to dodge the second swing
its absolute cinema

If you get the increased duration on his skill it can be quite handy for keeping the downed teams bar from regenerating for a bit and against bosses with a iron eye, help with popping mark assuming the boss ever stands in one place

My shitter opinion is that the combat needs to be sped up, or enemy health needs to be lowered to better serve the "timer". Being stuck fighting guardian reindeer for 4-10 minutes feels like shit when youre waiting for him to land just to chip another 10-15% of his health

like most roguelikes, it just needs more shit
I'm probably most disappointed by the fact that besides a couple of bosses there's no new content, no zones or weapons or spells or enemies we haven't seen before

Check the in game guide for specific character tips

It's all recluse info

Nothing, he's a piece of shit that can't do it.

Is Limgrave seriously the ONLY map?

Only other place id like is underground city. I dont want to load into

PFUCKING ICE ZONE

or

PFUCKING FIRE ZONE

CAELID

buy it

too afraid to play with others

just afk in hub and quit

Better solo mode

Add more characters + bosses from prior games

Increase the hitbox of revives to make it easier

Improve performance

Further multiplayer updates like

Its a solid foundation, so I hope they build upon it.

PFUCKING FIRE ZONE(BLOOD CANCER EDITION)

It isn't easy

It isn't and takes practice to make the stance switch become muscle memory.

Its funny that Im sure Id like the game more if it was even more shameless, port EVERY souls boss, just drag and drop, no change needed.

I hope they never add voice chat.
Only turbo mongos use that shit. Good players already know what to do.

I'm using AI slop to make my own. Duchess and Recluse are hot.

What the fuck is the purpose of the Duchess' ult?

no change needed.

Just give them Monster Hunter treatment. Speed them up at least. Let them use attacks from beta/alpha versions of games (Malenia from 1.0 had different moveset). Let us fight Prime Enraged Maliketh EX.

Cry about it

Just add the voice box. Thats all you need. Look at helldivers.

go here

hello

very good

voice emotes are incredibly simple and effective, and are already a thing in these games.

Add more characters

Agreed. I need my monk who starts with dryleaf arts.

area full of niggas

pop it for free backstab gangfuck

area looks annoying

pop it and skip fodder/annoying shit

qt witch or you have aggro pop it and reset

just needs a few updates to become great

This is From, anon. The game is anemic and it will stay that way. There will be no updates, no major tweaks, no free content. In a few months expect two new heroes and a couple bosses for 15 dollars. Then the game will be abandoned. Look into your heart, you know it’s true.

Real weird to only launch with 1 map. They probably want to sell other maps as DLC. This is a test for a GAAS Fromsoft game.

Fair. Im just sayin itd be sick to habe a grabbag of 200 bosses with no way of knowing who, vs fighting the fucking demihuman queen and king cuck FOR THE 20TH FUCKING TIME

Super Mario Kart

Final Fantasy Tactics

Pokemon Snap

Donkey Kong Country

Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks

Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball

What is this dumb nigger talking about?

So you're saying that Elden Ring never got any free updates or content what so ever?

loot ratting

ez trash clearing

reviving a guy without pulling aggro

Her ult is not why you play duchess. Retsage is and restage is FUCKING INSANE.

I don't play games to be pressured into playing a certain way. That is just not fun. This is the kind of attitude people have when you play co-op with them that is why I prefer only playing solo.

Also works on some bosses.

There's like 0 communication and they don't even display your steam/psn/xbox name except at the end of the game

remembrance quests have you do a very specific thing

can't matchmake with other people who have it active, only people who don't

It's like they went out of their way to make this impossible to do with randoms

you can matchmake with remembrances? I'm stuck on 1/3

There's communication in the form of players quitting because they don't like the way you are playing. That's a pressure I'd rather not have to deal with.

The game seriously need textchat and simple voip

Target every Nightlord so you have the biggest pool of matchmaking partners.

Lel, good luck with life

I've never had any quits ever except my very first match where a guy RQ'd cuz he got killed in a dumb way. Really cringe but I guess he's a controller thrower.

Dumb retard there will be a 30 dollar DLC that adds two classes, one enemy and 5 new items and it WILL SAVE THE GAME

If only this shit was in main game instead of hold over DS3 animations that dont mesh well with new junkiness.

can i play with my friend and a random?

stuck with 2/3

Just make it duo before it croaks.

I never use the parry since it doesnt scale with anything

Lets unpack this. because this is one of the most mysteriously retarded things i have read today, and i just came from a skyrim thread.

what the fuck do you mean the parry doesnt scale? its a defensive thing? it doesnt need to scale at all, it does what it does. Also it raises the attack power of your weapon. the main weapon scales with # of parries you have done + your level.

The way to play executer is to parry until weapon is glowing then get as many attacks in as you can before you unleash the buff on a boss to deal extra damage before you use ultimate. The class has some of the greatest potential in the game but its also one of the hardest. If you cant deflect well you almost may as well not play him

Waiting 10 minutes in matchmaking to do archer guy rememberance

hmmm

Turn the quest off and try again

Instant match

Wait, I only get matched with faggots doing the same rememberance quest?

No. Souls multiplayer is always silent with only gestures and this is based for staying that way. The -LAST- thing I want is to listen to some faggot.

Place a pin

The other player seconds your choice and pins it too

This is all you need.

I wanna go here!

Sure, let's do that!

That's all you need and that's what you have

Elden Ring received half-assed attempts at balance and the arenas, which were cut content. Elden Ring was also in a fine state at launch, it was more than a good framework. Elden Ring was also not a 40 dollar asset flip side project.

No. It's just one remembrance player per party.

So you havent gotten any remembrance quests then

Too many tight interiors to make a big transformation like that not be janky as fuck. maybe in the next game

soulslop mulitplayer was designed around being <5 minute walks to a boss where all you do is mash attack on the enemies
This game they want this to be the new hit meme multiplayer slop and as such it needs basic features that 40 year old games have

That's fucking retarded

remembrance quest is kill one of 2 nightlords

sit in queue for an hour at 1/3 before giving up

Remebrance quests are fucked hopefully this kind of shit gets fixed with updates

Bro.

Landing in for Duchess Quest

Pin the quest spot

We hit it up right away after the first camp

Kill the Dew Guardians

"Objective Complete"

Had to play in maybe one party where they ignored my request and we landed too far away to begin with anyways but that's not anybody's fault.

The best shit

No, it'd be really fucked if 2-3 players all ran off to try and do quests. With only one side object per group, it's not distruptive.

I don't like multiplayer games

I don't like preset classes

I don't like herding around AI bots in multifights

No thanks. I just won't be buying this or their other game that'll be on the Switch 2 that'll be pretty much the same as this.

Ye

The content that was added for free doesn't count, what about the DLC?

goalposts = moved. Thanks for playing.

ty

we hit it up

Clearly WE arent playing the same game, the chimps I get matchmade with do what they want how they want

I play games to get away from the pressures of real life.

Sucks to be you. My parties are mostly either skilled peers or capable followers who accept my "leadership"

If it at least also included other players doing the same remembrance quest, that'd be nice even if that number is probably small

None of these "muh voice coms, muh text coms" complaints are genuine, not here at least. The good folks of Anon Babble just want a way to call someone a nigger when they don't play to the efficiency of their preference.

Gay lib argument. I just want to quickly explain whats going on rather than tolerate an antisocial multiplayer game

How do you use Restage properly?

accept my leadership

almost every single boss has new mechanics though. It's all re-designed for coop as the main focus rather than coop being cheat mode. Nothing feels the same as it did in the original game

does good damage and can bleed proc herself increasing her own damage

this is true but its also god in different scenarios

staggers bosses, gives height advantage and also grants him and allies a damage buff aura in range

guardian stuns enemys while also picking up allies within range. Allies also take no damage within the aura until the ult stops

As often as possible whenever the enemy takes a bit of damage. It's a very short cooldown so unless you know there's a major DPS phase (eg knockdown) about to happen, just use it every time you or an ally gets a combo off

I just want to quickly explain whats going on

Ah, so you're just a retard in love with his own voice, explaining the obvious to people who most likely more capable than you.

tfw you find RoB with exec

Happened to me once, still a goat

I just want to type "theres a purple sword over here" but go off queen

I mean if you're always the one choosing the next spot, they're accepting my leadership.

see this post

Queue just ended

Meh, I guess it'll have to wait

"Network Connection Error"

Lucky you.

Restage repeats the past 2 seconds of gameplay for the enemy and all the damage happens again but only 50% of it. It's absolutely fucking buckwild

Critical the boss

Restage

Proc bleed

Restage

Fire Jar Cannon

Restage

Wylder just Ult'd

Restage

Running r2 at an enemy for 70% of their HP

slow walk away and restage like an edgelord

And so on. The cooldown is so small. Spam it all day

There's finesse to it but yeah. it should be a matter of just using it off cooldown unless you're in a boss context and can optimize the dmg with it.

and voicechat

No thanks. The last thing I want to hear is some zoomer sperging out because I didn't follow his pings to the letter. Pings are a good enough compromise.

How do you recluse players get a lightning charge? Lightning bolt seal?

You can do that. There's a way to ping items.

I just want to type "theres a purple sword over here"

You can ping items for that literal purpose. Not that you would know, since you haven't played the game, nor would you even if the voice/text coms were in.

Pray that one of your teammates has lightning damage somewhere. If both of your mates has an elemental damage you can just spam Alch conc all day and never use anything else.
Not very optimal but fun at least.

You doin okay bud? Most people dont go full niggermode at the suggestion of text chat

Guy who made Nightreign didn't make DS2 btw

I mean if you're always the one choosing the next spot, they're accepting my leadership.

I know what you mean, it just sounded so smug and funny to me for some reason.

IM BLAAAAAAAAAAASTIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING

You pathetic cunt

I'm never going to kill that fucking dog god dammit

I actually kind of like it desu.
Running from the shrinking circle can be pretty tense.

just needs a few updates to become great

Damn you can really tell apart actual fromsoft fans from newfag trendseekers when they say stupid shit like this.

Only requires so many points it’s unobtainable, nice, useful for one scenario, even better

Yeah it should be an option but would be clunky for most players (using controller)

go around obliterating shit night one as wylder and get to level 8

get mogged anyway by wormface with his 100 adds and dumb deathblight

whats the point

deflecting

kek, I never said I was against the concept since it wouldn't affect me in the slightest. Text chat can be ignored and voice chat turned off, just as I did in Space Marine 2 so that I don't have to listen to mouthbreathers like you drooling and vacuuming the floors while playing the game. Like I originally said, I don't buy the sincerity of the complaint for a second, just as you demonstrated here.

No amount of shitflinging and manifesto writing changes that the game would be better with text and voice

I'm at the point where I'm fully confident I'll kill it, I've got it down to 10% health 3 times. I just need my teammates to not engage into 3 dogs. Alot of my teammate Raider, Guardian and Executors try ulting when they are gathered, instead of playing it safe and using their ult on a downed teammate.

add a parry class

in a co-op game where enemies frequently target other players rendering your whole gimmick worthless

You can ping items for that literal purpose

how?

And I never claimed it wouldn't be. I just don't buy your sincerity of the matter.

Reminder to stack Vig relics on squishies

Try to get lightning bolt off a seal. It's a bitch to do in multiplayer, but aim for churches with guaranteed seals in the elements you need, which you can see on the detailed map view. If there's no boss aboveground, there's always a guaranteed seal or two in a lockbox in that underground tunnel before the boss down there. Fire and Lightning are both great paired with magic. Holy is a bit shit combo option wise comparatively unless you like the ice block, but three discus if you find it on a seal still puts out big boy damage on fat bosses or free camera throwing it at the ground so it lingers on enemies

He's a lot stronger than the thread gives him credit for. You can parry everything including AoEs excluding grapples, parry when drawing/sheathing the cursed sword, and even cancel your normal swings into aforementioned draw. Combined with the health on sword charge, the ult being a full heal, and failed parries still being 100% physical resisting guards, he's fucking invincible in half decent hands. I'm still finding tricks with him with the latest being doing guard counters at the end of parry strings when I don't have a charged sword for even more retarded amounts of stagger damage

enemy health needs to be lowered to better serve the "timer"

Now the game is 90% running
Just stop, the tight timelimit is the entire purpose of this mode and is necessary for the game to even function. This is the point and the "appeal" of this genre, like Apex or similar shit it's a genre which is extremely knowledge heavy, because you need developed knowledge of how things work in order to be fast, while also preventing you from developing that knowledge by rushing you so you can only learn in bite sized periods over lots of matches

You feel like you're rushed because you want to stop and learn how things work
The developers of this genre don't want you to stop and learn how things work, because the long term replayability of the genre hinges on making it as awkward and impractical as possible for you to learn the game, so that every retard playing the game will get to slowly improve over a longer period. Because learning how the new game works (In terms of which loot to take, where things are on the map, how to navigate between good locations) is the most universally accessible set of skills that every retard can learn at a similar pace and that's how you make a game suitable for everyone
Why do you think BRs took off with kids?

When you have the prompt to pick up the item, you can hold the pick up button, and then press the ping button. With PS controller that would be to hold triangle and then L3

is there any way to know if a camp is low or high level?

Does it seem like there's not enough good weapon skills on melee weapons? Sacred blade is good and I've seen it a couple times but I've only seen Lions Claw once and no Giant Hunt.

Just what enemies are in there.

have beat 3 of the bosses on the first try

vagina dragon beat the fuck outta me for 6 tries though

coming up on my third try on madness nigger

No idea how people have 10+ runs without winning a single one

me either which is funny because cerberus is most definitely the easiest boss of the night lords

>>/erg/

cerberus is most definitely the easiest boss of the night lords

Enter

are you just supposed to hit the tentacles or what?

it's janky as fuck, but kinda fun. More map/boss updates would be nice

You select it, and then queue as Ironeye or Recluse. No other option

You can ignore literally anything it throws at you except for that one teardrop at 50%-ish hp.

gonna wait for the bot + pause mod so i can enjoy it like a good singleplayer game beating it once and moving on

the wave does pretty big damage

that looks like shit, but at least you're having fun

I don't understand why this jit is also a random mini-boss that drops the exact same relic the boss does

the relic is temporary if you get it from the raid one

They are also a thing in nightreign? You can buy the voice items

I've had my controller disconnect for like thirty seconds in the middle of a boss fight while the rest of my team died and I just stood there with my dick in my hand until the boss slowly RP-walked over and kicked my ass. Nobody quit after that. People genuinely don't give a shit.

It was insanely hype

Party gets an unlucky triple KO from one attack

NO! HOLD THE FUCK ON, LEGENDARY SELF REVIVE JUTSU ACTIVATE!

I self res and try to get somebody up too

Boss does a huge big dig AOE attack

All is lost!!

IN COMES THE PARRY WITH THE BIG DICK BUFF AND POISEBREAK BOOST

The counterhit STAGGERS the boss

Still not enough, can't get her back on her feet and the stagger is ending

Boss winds up another INSANE AoE

No way out it looks like

Ult off cooldown

HOLD THE FUCK ON! RAIDER AIN'T DONE YET!!! I-FRAME WITH THE ULT ANIMATION, LIFTING HER INTO THE SKY WITH ME OUT OF HARMS WAY

boss flails around like a cuck trying to attack me as I safely ressurect my ally

It was fucking kino. THREE seperate clutch "NOT FUCKING YET FAGGOT!!!" moments.

several of the night lords are also raid encounters, like the goatman

Adel might easily be the worst boss modern Fromsoft has ever designed, jesus fucking christ, what a piece of fucking shit

And people complaint about the mutt, get ready

Bird fucking sucks

I can fully believe Anon Babble is used as some proxy battleground for discord trannies to push their narrative. It would explain how schizophrenic Anon Babble has become even in the last 5 years alone.
Boards, Boards have changed

gonna assume I just got really lucky with a great team because I hopped on the game and beat the heckin doggo on my first run, some of these other bosses look fucking insane though

Why change the game speed?

Beat him an hour ago. He is aids but most of it is pretty dodgeable. If you got a party who knows how to dodge and not take everything with their face then its not too bad. I do like how you can tell how dogshit people are by the first minute of them landing. Their pathing around the map being so shit, spending most of their time killing normal mobs instead of just going to the boss, killing it, and getting out

I can fully believe that theres a coordinated strike group being formed off site by [group I hate] thats specifically designed to support [game I don't like already]

because everyone else is schizophrenic

it actually turns out using Anon Babble for more than half your life just turns you into a mental fucking abomination, who knew.

Good reminder for me to give the revive item away, lol. Every time I use it as recluse I job immediately because her chances of pulling off a clutch are near zero

The adds drop deathblight curing items

i've been matchmaking for 10 mins with 2/3 at the first boss
great game

Holy shit, this motherfucking goat is difficult.

Except they stop you for like five seconds to use and are barely audible if you're right next to the person using them, let alone on the other side of a camp.
I don't know about Helldivers, but most games with voice commands will print the spoken line to the screen as well as saying it aloud for visibility to people who aren't right next to you. If gestures and pates at least did that much, it'd be fine.

instantly accuses me of picking a side.

wew lad, I think I might have been spot on

Yeah I shoulda given it to Guardian. I'll only keep it as Raider when I'm the biggest dude in the party. Revenant and Guardian are best with it because their ults are literal mass revives.

I clutched the doggo with a good team on my very first try too, it wasn't even that hard, i've just been stuck on this wyverian piece of shit the entire day and i haben't tried any of the other night lords.

I fear the possibility that Adel ain't even the worst one

The game is fun.

Friends and I have beaten all bosses but the dragon and night lord.

Easiest to hardest

Wolf

Sea Slug

moth + scorp

Vagina jaws

Centaur

Goat

Fought dragon once, doesn't seem that hard.

there is no true escapism, even in games there will always be something pulling your attention back to life, like how shit you are

Why are you being strangely defensive, anon?

The goat and ice dragon are easily the worst. Haven't fought the centaur yet though

brother YOU picked a side in your post what the fuck are you waffling about

just so you know, if you unironically say lets unpack this on Anon Babble everyone will think youre a faggot and ignore you

I replied to two images accusing both sides of discord raiding, both likely fake, but still autistic enough for me to believe it exists in some form.
Maybe read the post thoroughly next time.

lol game is complete shit

Also it raises the attack power of your weapon. the main weapon scales with # of parries you have done + your level.

gonna need proof on that faggot

I know it looks fun, but it's not on nintendo so you're not allowed to like it ok?

20 mins now
i restarted the game too, what the fuck? is no one playing solo?

Its been 5 entire fucking hours, and I only see 3 additional webms. What the fuck kind of shills are they training now?

Nintendo will have the same game but at 360p 30fps and with a Bloodborne skin

Even they can't sell this garbage, hence why many dropped the game within a day.

If you haven't beaten the dog yet you can only get matched with people who also haven't beaten him.

why do you insist on watching my gameplay you weirdo

How did we go from heavy knights to anime bullshit like this?

That one is allowed.

i refuse to believe everyone beat him already

it's a 2 duchess episode

I don't feel like recording, compress the video to less than 4mb and remove the audio

Most people have + a single run is pretty long so there's not that many people requeuing often + there's no crossplay + this is a Fromsoft game so the matchmaking is most likely shit too.

Is he retarded? He speaks like a retard (I guess they wanted to give him that voice because he has a beak or something)

now yo're just whining for attention like the parry haters

It sounded to me like an indian accent

I go for the goat boss and I get games and it seems like a filter because I get fewer retards

I've heard enough Indians (from kitboga videos) and he doesn't sound like one, he sounds more like a 90s nerd.

How do I properly use hook on Wylder?
Seems like it's only effective on trash mobs and to get out of some situation.
Diving into boss feels way too dangerous.

Use it to approach a boss and use your R2 ability, this interrupts actions that can save your life.

I learned that you can cut Gaping Dragon's tail

I can't tell who is false flagging who anymore

Just beat the goat, 5th one down. Bosses really don't seem designed to handle ranged characters. I've mostly been using Wylder but switched to Ironeye for Augur, and everything was a complete joke.

there's no "levels" but as a general rule, in order of difficulty:

unnamed encampments

town

church/fort

ruins

main encampment

castle

but the element on the map influences the enemies you find, for example a fire church will always have a fire monk boss, a holy church will have oracles, and an elementless church or fort will have a golem

most transparent shilling attempt since borderlands 2

It was like that in Dark Souls too.

it's a 2 recluse episode

Recluse's orbs need a buff

something about her fp needs to be done, I dont know if they just want to force you to use starlight shards but sometimes you just brick and youre fucking useless

Yeah but I didn't expect it to carry over

gimme a sec

I had zero expectations and I am just having a fucking blast with this game.
I can't even kill the god damn dog and I'm still having fun every single run.

Have every enemy have a blank essence to drain or something so you don't have to hoard enough FP for a pebble
Make her cast animations way shorter too

i think fp management is mostly fine but wouldn't say no to how much her special recovers fp
what kills me is when i get useless upgrades as her like extra crit or successive attack buff

is that wuthering waves?

Looks sick, shame I lost interest in Fromsoftware 10 years ago.

Ok wait just have her always have just enough FP for a pebble so you don't brick
Bias her rewards to FP stuff

They reused the same enemies again?

wish it was an actual roguelike instead we got fortnitelike

wait you can play Sekiro guy?

You should always have one weapon slot dedicated to an elemental damage melee imo so that you can get yourself off of 0.
She's in a far better spot than revenant at least, who is literally worthless as a caster with no innate way to restore fp.

Only fromsoft could make the differences between classes so disappointingly fucking shallow. This game is so fucking lazily made. Oh and wow these relics are so exciting, 3% more stamina wow, 2% more fire attack wooow exciting. what's next, stronger fire pots? wooooah

these games literally have not iterated on their mechanics in literally 16 years

did the doggo filter you?

...why not?

What's an efficient way to scale into a run? had a decent run yesterday, ran around clapping everything on the map but the day2 world boss draconic tree sentinel 1tapped everyone on the team at level 9, are they actually worth fighting or are you better off going to the castle on day 2 and clearing that?

You're in for a wild ride

he didnt mention difficulty in his post at all

its ok to have terrible taste but dont get defensive over it

they could bring back bonfire ascetic to fix that problem

the relics being shit is a pre doggo thing samefagbro

I'm watching dist and they don't get much better bro.

you're just insufferable

How is the rogue like aspect of the game?

not that anon but i have no idea what happens after the doggo. i played 1 run and died on day 2. i plan to refund after that 95% of the game is reused assets so not gonna play anymore

I believe the landing impact is what revives people, not the residual aura itself.

they literally just copy/pasted it

the point is that the relics are UNINTERESTING. they're merely statistical in nature, they don't add anything mechanically. it's just passive garbage like a shitty indie roguelite

6

wylder - quality with str preference

guardian - maxed vitality build with whatever stats are left over dumped into str

duchess - dex/int build that can also dabble in faith

recluse - int/faith build

raider- pure str build

ironeye - dex/arc build

executor - dex/arc again for some reason

revenant - faith/int/arc build with faith focus

Does anyone else not like how they broke up these classes? This doesn't really feel like a sampling of the different Elden Ring builds/playstyles at all. Why is every character who's proficient in one type of magic also good at the other? Why is duchess the only hybrid magic/melee character when that was very popular in elden ring and comes in multiple flavors that are all visually distinct? Where's the str/int Radahn wannabe character? A str/fth to bonk people with a big club? Since all the base game weapons were ported over there's weapons for every single one of these builds present in game but nobody to use them. Like for example I found the sacred relic sword in a revenant run but like who can actually use it effectively in this game with no str/fth character?
It also annoys me that the visual designs of the characters dont really match up with their build. For example: How is the samurai crucible knight not dex/fth? How are the faith characters a pointy hat witch and a blue doll? Both of those seem more like pure int. There's tons of cool things they could've done for a faith character that fits with how faith characters are shown in elden ring, a dragon priest, a godskin, a faram azula beast man, a fire priest, a crucible knight as mentioned before, there are so many options.

this one seems fake
no one speaks like that

Total trash.

So, is the only random thing in the game item drops? I know it's the same map, but it also looks like the same mobs and bosses appear on every playthrough as well.

kek, this is literally what i did since all my friends are on different platforms so im just playing solo

on top of this being a shit game the performance is also shit

It is, Scamco hoodwinked people into think its a rougelike. Its not, a failure as one.

very hard to program random mob spawns or learn how to do procedural map generation prease undastand

i like the fight, i just think hes way too tanky in phase 2

fromshit got close to a cookie-cutter 00s action game combat

Grim

remember when sekiro came out and it was like a babbys first action game project with the most braindead simon says combat ever made and all the fromdrones lauded it as some kind of masterpiece lol try some fucking ninja gaiden or something

I was surprised the bird guy had shit faith scaling. Everything about him is your usual paladin/crusader class fantasy.

you really riled up the samefagging discord with this one

game freezes for up to 2 seconds randomly

based..SIMPLY FUCKING BASED!!!!!!!!! GOOD JOB FROMSOFTWARE

Based ngchad

no real variation between runs

no build variety

enemy level distribution makes number of viable routes very limited

I don't see this having much lasting appeal

THEY'RE GONNA UPDATE IT BRO IT'S GOING TO BE A WHOLE NEW GAME

Cyclops enemy

Can make it lose balance by hitting it hard, then jumping onto it

Can stun it with lightning

Can snap off its tusks to make it enraged

Can climb on top its helmet so it takes it off

Can snap off parts of its armor

And none of those matter because just shooting it until it dies is easier and faster
Cinematic marketing gimmicks are not gameplay

dragon dogma

shooting

???

They should have seriously made a new map for this, the game right now has some serious mod energy.

I love that I'm happens during that hungry wyvern boss fight on second phase. Pure ludokino. I assume it's wanted game design. Like that dragon got so angry that it froze your screen,

yo FUCK libra man what the hell is this horseshit

It has new attacks.

archers are gods in dragon's dogma, melee is a waste of time

does it? the only thing I noticed is that its jumping quake has a bigger hitbox and has to be jumped/rolled now

while playing iron eye, all I can think about is how I'd rather be playing archer in dragons dogma instead. god, imagine a game like this with dds dynamic combat mechanics instead of this shallow garbage.

elaborate?

dynamic combat mechanics

mash your strongest skill against slow, passive enemies

Blue doll is a necromancer, which does fit her fai/int leaning, and her blue color for that matter since death sorceries are all light blue colored.

See

knock enemies into each other,.smash enemies into walls, pick them up and throw them, limb based damsge, dynamic knockdown states

yea bro R1 is so much more exciting

what the fuck weapons should i be trying to get, if any, on recluse/revenant?

qrd for someone who knows nothing nor has played ER? is it just ER mini but you can play as enemies/bosses?

Why is everyone who picks duchess so fucking awful Jesus christ

This is the game where you open chest just to see shitty icon and pick weapon from ER but with random passive ability. Think about it.

Its like a Fortnite Custom mode Elden Ring where you have 30 minutes to scour the map for weapons and supplies, level up, and then kill a megaboss at the end of the round.

They're getting too many frame drops from using her pocketwatch, please understand

elemental bows can be good on recluse

just hit every POI you can for weapon passive/bonuses, get at least 3 churches, hit level 6 by night 1 and 11 by night 2

draconic tree sentinel

just avoid him and anyone else you can't critical hit, unless you notice the squad is cracked
day 2 should be clearing the shifted earth zone, you get crazy shit like an instant legendary from the crater and malenia's great rune from the rotted forest. If you don't have one active then the castle is fine I guess

Eat shit, shitty goat, the best way I found is with the barbarian to use his skills to interrupt him and not give him any room

muh spanish

bite me

The more I play the more I realize it's not that Ironeye is broken, it's that bows are broken. Feels like every class shits out infinite damage with them in this game.

Killed the dog last night, got a cool Wylder relic.
Haven't killed a boss since. Matchmaking doesn't even seem to be working if you have a remembrance open. Man this is kinda dogshit.

nor has played ER

The game is hard for "veterans" and unfair for solo. You can't survive it without playing ER.

only give more runes and more revive I heard, not enemy balancing which still ass

nobody actually played base ER without cheesing it so everyone may as well be starting from zero experience here

can I still earn achievement this way?

meleeing revives in this game?

That moveset...Is that literally just Rathalos?

maris is boring and stupid and gay and ugly and fat

Yeah I thought about it after writing the post and revenant does visually track the death rite bird sorceries but I still think its weird that she's faith/int with a preference for faith because those spells seem to be for faith/int builds with a preference for int because 1. They're sorceries not incantations & 2. They have higher int requirements than fth but maybe I'm splitting hairs and getting too autistic about it.
Theres a lot of visual variety in faith casters in Elden Ring and I'm mostly just annoyed that all of Nightreign's faith casters are hybrid faith/int and take their visuals more from the int side of things.

no idea I torrented the game

I love the big booba black girl
I never expected this

gaping dragon wasn't in Dark Souls 2 stupid

Recluse

Weapons with elemental damage for your cock tail
Comet hits pretty hard if you can find a staff that has it

Revenant

Honestly not a clue, I usually just stick with her default claw thing and try to upgrade that. Outside of solo clearing camps with summon spam, she seems pretty bad. No stats to be good with weapons and no built in fp restore to be good with spells.

based on what I played
some bosses are fixed, some are in a pool of multiple, 20% of an area is different (volcano, mountain, and more although the bosses there seem to be the same), there are some random invades (got morgott, 1-3 invaders, maybe more) or other events (plague)
and the day 1-2 night bosses
maybe other stuff, it seems to unlock as you progress remembrances / finish runs

You beat up your companion's corpse to revive them. It's kind of weird.

Torrent isn't in nightreign retard they replaced him with a super sprint

How do you beat the dogs? I’m on a duo with a buddy (cuz fuck the third guy, we’re always somehow getting paired with mages, archers or the summoner chick)
One time we got real close but this grind is fucking unreal please help

knock enemies into each other,.smash enemies into walls, pick them up and throw them, limb based damsge, dynamic knockdown states

Or you can just ignore all of these and be 10x more effective
It's not enough to just throw a bunch of cool sounding gimmicks into your game if you don't actually do anything to make them a worthwhile part of combat

my point was more about her elemental gathering skill paired with the fact that she eats shit in melee

Kek

Save your ults to revive at 2-bar or 3-bar (1-bar revive is easy with just basic attacks).
Also just learn the map better so you can get there with better shit.

no sekiro skin

I am so mad

simply not true. idk why you lie. not to mention that balance wasn't part of my argument, but simply dynamism in the combat. enjoy spamming R1 though and the only reaction an enemy can have being hit stun

I'm out of the loop, why does this picture look like a Nightwish album cover?

Defeat first boss

Try to matchmake for second boss

Nobody's there

Are Fromshitters shitting me? Where are the random players? Did almost nobody beat the first boss? The series is dead. Can't believe I got scammed $55 dollars. Somebody hop in the matchmaking before I go insane and commit trannycide.

my problem was that i wasn't finding anyone for the first boss, matchmaking is just shit as expected of from

but simply dynamism in the

What dynamism? Finding ways to deal with overwhelming enemies in a way that makes you feel smart is dynamic
Just going out of your way to find gimmicky ways to bully a giant sandbag that requires no effort to defeat regardless of what you do, isn't
Dragon's Dogma has cool ideas but it simply doesn't offer the player sufficient resistance for any of it to be meaningful

It's probably meant to be a reference to the Evanescence album because of the trailer

Bamco US used WAKE ME UP INSIDE song for US trailer

hey u try aggroing the boss up close instead of stealth archering from 1000 miles

Well it certainly woke me inside... that this is a shit game.

These people genuinely think they're fighting some sort of culture war on here. They actually take things on this site seriously. Lmao.

It's over then. Game's already dead. It lived for a solid 1 day before everyone called it quits. Now Fromsoft will take it as a greenlight to produce more low effort slop and become the same as Bethesda Games Studios.

I get instant matchmaking for gaping maw on PC

damn, realistically speaking what are the chances this get's more support?

Can you give me a Qrd on the shit we can pick up? Here’s what I’ve found so far

marika churches for flasks (our #1 priority)

camps for weapons

dung beetles for talismans

towers for sorceries (never opened one before)

ruins, forts, camps and the big cathedral thing for XP and early weapons and buffs

Am I missing anything? We usually hit a decent amount but we’re always coming up short about level 10 by the time it’s day 3

this is the most zoomer game conceived

-ACK

More support won't help, yes it lacks content but the game's fundamental structure is just severely lacking

The small fort with the fort Haight layout in the small tower at the very top of the stairs has a rack that's guaranteed to drop a couple of staves and a map that reveals the locations of some scarabs that drop talismans

there would still be no point to buying it twice

think Anon Babble is just not playing games again and seething at them as always

no actually, it's actually legit shit

my friend who wanted to play it with me and another friend apologized and gave up first

regarding my friend, we all sometimes pick stinkers so it's no problem although he did earn some japes at his expense for a while. But fuck you Bamco, there was your one grace period game. Now I wait for reviews instead of trusting you

I just wonder now what thought process resulted in such a decision. Bizarre.

I am on PC in Gaping Jaw right now, nobody's there. Do reliving rememberences affect matchmaking? That blows if it's like that.

I didn't like DQ Builders 2 because the game kept moving me along and didn't let me sit down and go autismo at any point.
Would I like 1, maybe? I am mostly done with this game until the DLC since I just finished my Apocalypse stuff and I'm looking for something else to play this weekend

Wrong threads whoops

saying archer like its a bad thing

ironeye might be the best charcater int he game

This game is one of the first times I genuinely refunded as I didn't want to abuse the system as I know Valve wouldn't take kind of it. Nearly five hours and I noticed I was doing the exact same content over and over with no changes.

Do reliving rememberences affect matchmaking?

they do, I've found it easier to just do those solo

Do reliving rememberences affect matchmaking

I don't think so
Do you have a shifting earth? It puts you in a pool with only other people with the same shifting earth.
You can get rid of it by sleeping in the bed if you want but its a crap system honestly. You get the volcano guaranteed for the first few runs after beating gladius, I'm guessing the critical mass of players either beat gladius and burned through all their attempts at gaping jaw with guaranteed volcano or already moved on to boss #3

The game is dogshit once you realize that the bosses take so much damage from their weakness. Just get a elemental weapon from the marked areas on the map and go to the mine to upgrade them to purple and it’s a free win everytime

I bought it on GMG I think for 32 bucks a loooong time back because a friend really wanted to give it a go so I thought I would save a cheeky 8 greenbacks.
Joke's on me! I can't refund it because I did the saar move and redeemed it.

Elden Ring Nigerian

Do reliving rememberences affect matchmaking?

yes, only 1 rememberance per match, meaning you can't be matched with anyone that is also reliving a rememberance
It's best if you just select all the nightlords for matchmaking if you're doing rememberances

You absolutely get plenty of relics that do interesting stuff, like adding damage types to your starting weapons, changing your skill/ultimate, attaching weapon arts, making you pull aggro, changing how items function, letting your flask heal allies, etc. You just get them after the dog.

Ok so anyone playing Duchess or Revenant is a retard and will ruin your game.

Oh my God, thank you so much for that tip. I was going crazy matchmaking one by one. Yes this is much better to just have all selected. Didn't know it was doable.

new move sets look nice but the rest of the game doesn't seem too interesting to me, I'll wait until some autist mods these back to ER

If you die, you'll instead go into a "near-death" crawl with a timer that ticks down and a charge bar with three possible charges on it, increasing for every down. If the timer ticks out you actually die, drop your runes and lose a level (can't lose another until you level up again), then revive nearby. If another player attacks you it will pause the timer and reduce the charge bar. Once the bar is depleted you'll revive with half health.

During boss battles there's no timer, and if all players go down it's game over.

Was thinking of buying this game, but I completely ignored all the marketing and info. Are there any other maps besides not-Limgrave?

no lol
also no mention of future updates except for the DLC

No.

US trailers always have such music. One of the playable characters, Revenant, is cute goth doll in white.

Everyone that I’m paired up with is fucking terrible. I’ve given up on playing this game

One of their editors has been wanting to make an official AMV for a From game for over a decade and this was the perfect chance.
In other words, he's based and the rest of the marketing team was based for being cool with it.

Wtf? No Caelid, no Liurnia. no Altus? So you just run around Limgrave for the entire game picking up random loot?
Did they at least say new zones are planned for future DLCs?

They kinda implied it, but they also said it would be paid DLC and not free updates.

scamco at it again... just like forcing people to pay 40 bucks for a 3 hour dlc that acted as the game's epilogue

Guess I'll wait for the complete edition then. Thanks.

how is the game with randos, none of my friends are interested in fromslop

steams says only bosses and characters

I don't think so

Correction:
Only one person in the party can have one active so it affects matchmaking in the sense you can't match with others also trying to do one.

Not that bad, sometimes you get a death squad duo, sometimes a newbie but usually you can get to night 2 or 3 no problem.
The problem is when someone picks revenant, duchess or recluse and has no idea what to do with them

Die to the nightlord

See the stats screen

I'm the only one with all slots filled and like level 10-11

My other two teammates have 2 weapons and no items and are level 8-9

The game does not do a good job teaching about passive effects because god damn do they stack and are useful.

what are you talking about? bits of his armor are samurai inspired, and he is simply adapting to his new lord's armor style which are the crucibles and treefuckers

If that is true I may just skip this game out entirely even on sale.

found the burger

Matchmaking not working

Revenant quest is to kill Dog

How the fuck do you do this solo?

anon, he is an INDIAN MIGRANT, ofc his faith is weak

Bro this is rollslop it's easy just roll brother.

Is it in good practice to throw if you know your team is shit?

The way to play executer is to parry until weapon is glowing then get as many attacks in as you can before you unleash the buff on a boss to deal extra damage before you use ultimate

Dosen't work like that retard, there is no dmg boost form the weapon glowing. It only means you can activate the skill.

Yeah, no point in sitting through 30 minutes just to die to the night 2 boss

What should I do?

spend 30 minutes with a good run only to get demolished by nameless king

wow so fun haha

This but unironically.

Losing to fucking Nameless

What year is it?
