ENOUGH TIME HAS PASSED
WHAT'S THE /V/ERDICT
>Oh my stars is that the Gaping Dragon from Dark Souls 1? I'm having a nostalgic seizure.
>>714014356 (OP)Even though I completed it 100% of achievements and skins 2 weeks after launch, I'm still playing 1-3 games daily which I never do for other games. It's weirdly fun, and I hate elden ring for reference.
fun when my team listens to me, unfun when my team thinks they're better planners than me
will ejaculate blood if the dlc character is a dryleaf arts guy
filtered so many retards, just use the erg password and you get auto wins
>>714014356 (OP)it's fun but i missed crackhead adel
>>714015657Wait being that guy that just follows is actually a good thing?
>>714015675i don't need to get carried by incels
>>714015657i want a dragon communion user, imagine becoming a mini bayle as your ultimate
>>714014814I appreciate this so much
>>714015602>and I hate elden ring for reference.your opinion is invalid tastelet faggot
>>714014356 (OP)It's fun but needs more content
>>714015860way easier to plan routes when people just follow imo imo
guess if they're indecisive it might suck?
>Defeat boss
>10000 Runes
>Dragon Communion Incantations apply Anti-Dragon effect to weapon
>>714015990that'd be neat
i imagine the next couple of dlc guys are gonna be related to at least one of the new weapon types from da dlc tho
>>714016462>here's the BLOCK character>first 0.2 seconds of the video is a shield break from like 2 swingsask me how I know this pickle situation wouldn't even happen if everyone had just roll slopped through attacks.
>>714017261Whoever is in that webm isn't the Guardian's super-block. His guard ability isn't really any better than anyone else's unless he uses it. Aside from having a bit more stamina and starting with a decent shield.
It's the super-block stance that actually makes his blocking good.
>>714016912bear communion or riot
>>714018190he is using it outside of the two first hits
>>714014356 (OP)I like killing things with friends
>>714020532killing is wrong
It's fun but needs more content/randomness and some buffs to the weaker characters.
>>714014356 (OP)I DIDN'T PLAY IT BECAUSE THE ADVERTISERS ON HERE MADE IT LOOK LIKE SHIT
>>714014356 (OP)Is it even worth playing? My favourite thing about souls game was the exploration aspect, the level and world design and slowly becoming stronger the more you venture the world and overcoming tough obstacles
>>714014356 (OP)Very fun, much better than base elden ring. Basically monster hunter without all the grindy bullshit
They need to add a hard mode with the bosses in the last half of the game and the SotE content.
>>714021173for you, no
some lore and worldbuilding is neat but not worth da forty bucks
>>714021278>Basically monster hunterDon't even compare monhun with its fantastic combat system to this sloppa
>>714014356 (OP)Its oddly fun, but its a very sloppy, very flawed game when it shouldn't be. Also its very short. But again, its kind of addictive.
>>714022216Grapple hook shit in World and Rise is worse than Nightreign's combat system
If you're talking Tri, hmmm still nah
>>714015657Kinda hoping for a warrior-jar character, or maybe a dragon stone user, or some pyromancy guy
>>714014356 (OP)Monster Hunter but fun, without annoying characters and forced storyfaggotry, and with great lore and story.
All it needs is more enemies
>>714022310>Grapple hook shit in World and Rise is worse than Nightreign's combat systemYou're talking about a game that literally has a castrated grapple hook on one of the characters, slopper
>>714022349alchemist that can make jars and perfume would be cool as hell
>>714022415Castrated grapple hook that's optional is better than forcing you to grapple hook every monster for a rodeo session
Duchess's time rewind move is better than Wylder's grapple hook anyway
>>714022216nigger talking shit our game doesn't have the wound system
>>714022513Neither do any good monhun games
Your has to deal with subhumanly small movesets
>>714022415>castratedthere's nothing castrated about wylder
>>714022232>>714014356 (OP)Also, its not good unless you're using the "erg" multiplayer password OR have a group of people you can play with
The game wants to reward you for coordinating all the little things with your teammates, but you have 0 ways of communicating with them except a ping. It sounds more managable then it is, but you will be forced to just abandon any notion of communication and just run and attack shit
>>714022640He thinks because Wylder can't jump on each monster's back it's worse than Monhun
>>714015602Yeah, even though I feel like I should be sick of it, the fundamentals are just so fun and it lets me boss strangers around
>>714022513Yeah it has retarded weapon skill spam leading to poise breaks instead.
>>714022509>forcing you to grapple hook every monster for a rodeo sessionYou can literally disable that. As always, fromshitters have no idea what they are talking about.
>>714022724>The game wants to reward you for coordinating all the little thingsThe game was made around 0 coordination. If you sit on discord and coordinate the game is piss easy.
>>714022848You cannot lmao. I lost enough times at Iceborne solo to know the game is designed around the grapple hook.
>both teammates get exploded by the Death Rite Bird's 5-pointed-star attack
How many years will it take for normies to learn the compass tech? This shit is really annoying, it's like if Malenia could appear as a day 2 boss and oneshot your party with waterfowl dance.
>>714022640>cannot hang in the air like on a wirebug to avoid low reaching aoes>has nothing akin to redirection or any other cool shit from rise, just a lame iframe pilebunker that's braindead to use
>>714023049Wirebugs are shit lmao. Go back to gachas and stay out of ER threads.
>>714023040wtf are you talking about?
>>714022724>unless you're using the "erg" multiplayer password OR have a group of people you can play withway to out yourself as a shitter that needs to get carried to have fun
>>714023101>Wirebugs are shitAnd yet they are significantly better mechanically than wylder's grapple
>>714015602my friends stopped playing but I want to kinda keep play
also thought eldin ring was shit for the record
>>714022724Fuck that, running with randos is great. Yeah you're not gonna be strategically optimal, and they're probably gonna fuck up sometimes, but this game isn't so hard that you can't pull victory from imperfect runs. Those are the most kino scenarios anyway
>>714023179Like I care about the mechanics of a grapple hook I don't use or want to use
>>714023040I wanted this game to go full wacky and do things like add a double malenia fight but they didn't do it
>>714023118>awesome button ult>r1 r1 poisebreak r1>grapple attacks that are literally flaming strikewhat is the point of this lameass webm
>>714023118god damn I love wylder
>>714023258Not my problem
>>714023015I'm not that guy you were replying to nor a fan of Wilds. But don't act like spamming the same skills and spells over until the boss collapses so you can crit it is somehow superior to the worst MH game.
>>714014356 (OP)It's fun but I'm kinda burnt out on it, I clocked like 80 hours in the first few days
>>714014356 (OP)Surprisingly very good. I had very low expectations going in and loved it although I can see why some people with very high expectation would hate it
>>714023372And yet here you are begging for more grappling hooks.
Grapple hook brony
>>714014356 (OP)It was fun until I realized you get like three chances to complete each shifting earth and then they never ever will show up again as long as you're hosting
>>714014356 (OP)It has surprisingly more staying power for me than I thought it would. Like the limits of the quantity of content become apparent very quickly, but it stays fun with even the small amount of variation per run.
Looking forward to more stuff, and I legitimately hope they've seen the success it's had and invest in adding more shit to it beyond the fairly limited set of stuff they've already announced.
>Play Recluse/Revnant
>Everyone always goes where I want, will die trying to rez me
Is this what being a woman irl is like?
>>714023443>he doesn't know
>>714019945And his stamina never goes under 3/4th
>>714023443>he doesn't know
Ironeye is fucking cursed
>if you aren't playing him you'll get teamed with (at least) one who's completely retarded
>if you are playing him you're still guaranteed to get stuck with someone retarded (which could be another Ironeye)
I think I've had exactly one game playing as him where I didn't have at least one sandbag teammate, otherwise they've all been awful
>>714023473>>714023545Sovereign sigils isn't a solution to the problem btw
One issue is that most shit in the game concerning gear, stats, etc, is cryptic as fuck, never explained, with endless exceptions of what stacks and what overwrites what, with almost no consistency. You're going to need a guide to grasp it
Also item clog is an issue. Most things on the map are red-herrings, and most items are useless, wasting more time to pick them up than to just run past them spamming Y and hoping you get something nice. For all of the fluff on the map, most of it is just there to distract new players once you learn how to route things.
>>714022889I mean thats the thing, if you're able to spend .5 second in voice dropping an item for a teammate (as just one of a hundred examples of where you need to communicate something), the advantage is huge.
However you justify it, its still this source of frustration that you have to just learn to tolerate
>>714023224Fine, but for every time you clutch with randos and feel great, there's 3 or 4 times someone leaves, people split up and fail, or other debilitating shit that locks you into a game thats going to fail. If you're able to coral randos, then it is marginally better.
>>714023760>he doesn't know

>>714023910bro just admit you're retarded
>>714023418who the hell would have high expectations when the director himself said right after the announcement that it was an asset flip
I have no friends so I didn't play it and the memes are the gayest most reddit shit i have ever seen,anyone should be embarrassed to make or post such things
>>714023987What does showing me your steam achievements prove? Don't act like you're in the know because you play with mods or modified saves, faggotnigger
>>714023049>cannot hang in the air like on a wirebug to avoid low reaching aoesWe have a tool for that it's called JUMPING
>cool shit ...that nobody uses because it sucks ass
In practice wirebugs are used for the OP wirebug skills and a free get out of jail free card when you get slapped
>>714023918rookie mistake. the real bell strat is to spam your whole MP on a world boss and then run back to the grace and do like 2 pokes on it at most and repeat after it gets yeeted back to spawn. That stupid bell has stupid DPS and range that makes plenty of those bosses free kills.
>>714024243bro is beyond retarded
>>714024310>act like an apathetic zoomer nigger>deflect when anyone calls him out on his shitEverytime
Haven't played since I beat all the NLs and just did quests for most of the characters. Ill wait for the DLC to see how it goes, a remixed boss does nothing for me.
>>714015860Not everyone can be pinging routes if you want to be effective. Like if you get a guy who's pinging the same things you'd pick in roughly the same order there's not really a need to ping outside of something along the lines of pinging an evergaol to show you have a key. Being the guy who just follows is fine as long as your teammates aren't being stupid and are already marking routes.
>>714024289>We have a tool for that it's called JUMPINGJumping is nothing compared to the ability to simply hang in the air like wirebugs allow you to. They also give you wayyy more aerial mobility.
>...that nobody uses because it sucks ass Redirection is fucking amazing and it's commonly used by anyone playing sunbreak any decent amount of time
It also decreases wirebug cooldowns so i have no idea what you're babbling about
>>714024451I proved to your retarded nigger ass you can definitely get shifting earths without using sigils.
turning point of from realizing they can jusr serve whatever low effor slop and rollbabbies will eat it
>>714024660By showing me your 14 hours modded achievements/offline steam playtime? Again how does that prove anything except that you're a retarded lying zoomer faggot?
>>714024860ok now you're just trolling
>>714014356 (OP)I like it but I just play guardian and block everything
It's fun when everyone has fun :)
>hello, we are the worst characters you can have on your team
>>714024652>hang in the air like wirebugs allow you toYou haven't played the game if you think this is the issue with wirebugs. The issue was always with wirefall recovery, the thing that lets you cancel the standing up animation. Suspending mid-air has always been a stupid gimmick that was only useful for Narwa and Amatsu.
>>714024925>state the shifting earths only gives you a few chances per host before requiring extra steps to play them again>hurr durr muh achievments No, you're either illiterate or retarded. Probably both.
I am required to pick Recluse or Revenant because I will never forgive myself if I roll a seal with Burn O Flame while playing a FTHlet
>>714025252>before requiring extra steps to play them againwhat fucking extra steps you dumb retard just play the game they randomly appear in your game. Go right now play solo and quit immediately and you will get shifting earth after 2-3 tries.
>>714025192>no damage>endlessly revives youIt's like infinite torture
>>714025192>>714025514feels like fromsoft overrated how useful a revival ult is and gimped the rest of their kits for that
executor is also trash, and the thing all 3 have in common is that their ults are "good" for reviving
>>714025449>Go right now play solo and quit immediately and you will get shifting earth after 2-3 tries.I played eleven matches solo with no shifting earth. Relying on dumb rng luck to get what you want is retarded
>>714025514cute and funny
>>714025449nta, it's usually 15-20 for me and almost always mountaintop
I wouldn't have even seen noklateo in the past 100 hours if it weren't for the sovereign shop
>>714025639rouge-lite genre is not for you then
>>714025702>rouge-lite genreNot a good rogue-lite if all the rogue-lite features are half baked
Kinda funny that every time I want a game to become a live service game doesn't happen, this and granblue relink would be very fun games to play on the regular if they updated them
>>714022931>I lost enough times at Iceborne soloadmitting you're fucking garbage isn't a good idea in DS/Elden ring or MH threads. Your opinion is worth less than zero. The other anon is wrong, but you can literally not use it you dumb fucking faggot.
>game is designed around a new gimmick they introduced WOW who would have thought you braindead nigger?
>>714014356 (OP)certified FromGODS kino
>>714025192>>714025514>>714025595>be Raider>basically do almost everything better than Guardian besides ressing
>>714025192I hope one day to see a guardian dual wielding greatshields.
>>714025595They didn't lean enough into guardian being the "tank" spec. It makes sense to give him lower damage to emphasize that he should be blocking and drawing enemy attention more than attacking, but that needs to be an innate ability, not a relic passive, and even with the relic it doesn't seem to be very effective at keeping enemy aggro. The revival ult is kind of silly when his toolkit should be about preventing KOs in the first place.
>>714014356 (OP)>do the same map with the same enemies, same bosses, and same shitty circle everytime>EIGHT total nightlordsit's fromsloppa of the lowest degree, they didnt even try.
>>714026042I go double greatshield on Raider to spite Guardians
>>714026282>most boss attacks are aoes/arcs and the shield won't even protect characters behind you even if you guard it
>>714025192Honestly I would rather see a Guardian or Revenant on my team than an Ironeye or a Duchess, with the bird and the doll you know they aren't some idiot picking what they saw at the top of a tier list who's going to die the first time the boss looks at them. Minimal damage but alive > not alive
the gameplay itself is amazing, I just wish there was more content in it
it's the complete opposite of most games of this genre who survive entirely off of new content but have dogshit gameplay
>>714014356 (OP)It's really fun. Sometimes you get retarded companions that makes your experience miserable but then you get clutch moments that are amazing.
I had a noob Recluse that kept dying and a god tier Birb, I was playing revenant, had a club with golden slam and everytime Recluse fell I just buttslammed her back to life to the point that Birb was almost soloing the boss all the time. The nigtglord was augur and Recluse Comet Azured his out when he did the weird sleep thing. She bowed to us repeatedly after we won. It was fun.
The social interactions are few but meaningful
>>714015657Warrior Jar or Albinauric with the flip would be peak
>>714022216>monhun with its fantastic combat systemKEK
phase 2 everdark fulghor is incredibly easy and I have no idea how people keep getting downed on him
first phase is kinda annoying with the autistic squirting everywhere though
Just coming back to try the everdarks at this point. Done all remembrances got good relics, all skins all achievements it is by and large 100% done
Yet the loop is still fun to just hop in and do.
>>714025192Guardian is fuckin MVP at intentionally feeding himself to Adel repeatedly so your friends can do damage to him
>>714016462Someone post the Ball Busting Chad force choking 3 lads at a time
So uhhhhh what's the LORE?
>>714015657They also need to add perfume bottles to make the perfume art relic effect not useless.
>>714014356 (OP)I didn't buy this after how terrible Shadow of the Erdtree was, and it's comforting knowing I was in the right after seeing how quickly discussion for this FOTMslop died.

Underappreciated track
>>714025192>Rev ulted>"Oh nice I can dps with out dying now">Die 2 seconds later>Remember I dodge rolled and you dont get the buff from rev during i framesHer ult is stupid broken with the relic though, it gives 25% dmg boost for 30 seconds which is way better than recluse ult aside from regening health/fp
>>714023760Why not? Does it not count because then you'd be wrong?
>>714025514With his ability cd relic he can aoe farm pretty good making some encounters with mobs a joke. His damage is so pitiful in 1v1s though, solo with him its not even worth killing the crucible knights in castle
>>714015602>I hate elden ring for referenceSo the thing that makes you like a game is repetitive slop?
>>714014356 (OP)The game is surprisingly more fun than I thought it would be. Really like playing as Revenant
>>714014356 (OP)Looks like people moved on. Used to have 5 dudes play it on my steam friends list. Now it's 0.

Genuinely a very fun paced game. I'd kill for map offerings like Dead by Daylight that adds in more graces, bosses, etc.
anyone notice any differences with higher elo lobbies? wondering if theres an easy way to tell if i'm climbing up
>>714028257>Raider's story is..............................>He's a raider................................ and he defeated his rival..............................................................!!!!okay
>>714029248The Very Hungry Caterpillar would go over your head
They should add these into the game.
>>714028776This image is fucking stupid because pets generally do get bored with the same thing over and over and should have a decent variety of toys.
>>714014356 (OP)From's biggest flop. Not even breaking 77 on Metacritic, no end game, just a bunch of zoomers fighting meaningless battles against NPCs without the challenge of real PVP that you have in Fortnite.
>>714027902It's the stupidest lore From has ever written. Not only is it told to you out-fucking-right instead of pieced together from items and vague NPCs that explain nothing, it's all tied to a fucking woman who didn't abort her kid when she should've.
>>714028776>game has relatively few random events>they're all pretty rareso dumb
>>714028467He's not that bad at it, his uptime offsets the damage somewhat. He can shieldpoke and guard counter while other characters have to waste time rolling, and with a powerstance setup he can abuse his bulk and poise to recklessly mash into them like Raider.
That said, he looks a lot better comparatively against the groups of banished knights he can throw in a blender.
it's fun, really good boss themes as well. Caligo is kino
>>714027902I just shat everything out then left
>>714014356 (OP)It's fun, but needs a balance pass to root out metafags. The game already isn't all that difficult. Playing with turds who do the same strategy repeatedly gets old fast
>>714021025Nothing needs to be buffed and none of the characters are even remotely weak. Guardian is obviously the lowest DPS, but that's the entire point of the character. If you're one of those tards who thinks rev is weak, just know you're getting skill issued hard
>>714022724I have a 2/3rds wr with randoms. This is blatant lie or you're just shit
>>714014356 (OP)Doubled down on spamming/flailing bosses again when it could have leaned into the team play aspect and put pseudo-MMO raid like mechanics to make the fights interesting. Instead we got 10 attack chain enemies while you run around like a retard. It's like they almost tried to have actual mechanics with the elemental weapon weaknesses and things like the golden seals during the Libra fight, but nope, toy with that for one fight and then never again. Faggots.
>>714031515I don't think I have ever seen a team actually break the Libra sigils past the first set. Completely pointless mechanic, especially since you can just break the shield directly.
>>714031495Lol this is pure cope. A guardian in the party is literally worse than having no third.
>>714031880>t. Doesn't take guard counter buffs or use the guardian stanceThe whole "rev & guardian bad" is legitimately the shitter and midwit take. It's fine, but you really should recognize that. You haven't learned to play to their strengths.
>Friend suggests buying/playing this
>Nah I'll pass, didn't like ER that much
>Goes silent and leaves the call
Oh sorry, I should've bought the game I probably won't enjoy. From shills are fucking weird man.
Maybe if it goes in the bargain bin for ยฃ5
>>714027725any monster hunter moveset from like the last 10 years is better than elden ring combat
>>714014356 (OP)I like it. I think it's fun
>>714014356 (OP)Just dogshit jeeted slop for people who forgot what made Des, DS, Bloodborne and Sekiro good.
I've played too much Recluse and now I'm having terrible time with melee characters. It's mage life for me now it seems.
...maybe I'll play her with melee weapons.
>>714034261just spam carian slicer
>>714033107Tell your friend that he should ditch tasteless poorfags like yourself.
>>714031835That's the problem
>>714034960>tasteless>literally a stripped down massively simplified version of elden ring to make money off of the casual streamerbait hypebro audience
I'm tired of soulslop
I'm tired of roguelites
>>714014356 (OP)I still legit don't understand how it doesn't have more content. This is your spin off milking players release based on a game with 200 bosses and 400 weapons and you give us maybe 20% of it. Why?
What harm would more mobs or boss or weapon variety have done? I get ur too lazy to make a second map even though the only one in the game feels like a source mod. .. but ok
>>714025192recluse is the worst if she doesnt get a good staff.
I generally like it but I wish there were more classes and events.
The new hard mode bosses are nice.
>>714036345i wish there was another map
This just proves that Fromtrannies are as gullible as FIFAfags and less intelligent than CoD flags.
>>714036728That would be cool, especially if it came with a new set of shifting earths.
>>714036216Optimistically, they wanted to play it safe for the initial release and started with the easier stuff. Having Malenia or Promised Consort Radahn gank you in the middle of a day would've filtered more people at launch than Gladius already did.
Realistically, I'm expecting $15 DLC for a few new shifting earths.
>>714028776>the people who enjoy doing the exact same playthrough over and over are as dumb as a catYeah that fits
>>714034261Literally me until I decided out of the blue to play Wylder and I've been having so much fun with that bastard. The Relic that lets you have two grapples is amazing.
>>714037137Different anon, but it's not even peak hard stuff that they could've added, just more variety to night bosses/point of interest bosses with stuff from other games. Taurus Demon, a couple Capra Demons, invader swamp woman, Quelaag, 68 wheel skeletons all at once, Xanthous King Jeremiah, Sanctuary Guardian, Sif, lmao4king, armored boars
Like that's just Dark Souls 1 and I'm skipping the bosses people consider emblematic of the game like.
>>714038321I wonder how hard the dual sanctuary guardians would be in this game
It's an utterly cancer fight in DS1 but NR characters could probably handle it
>>714038578Honestly they'd probably fit right into the day 2 boss difficulty.
>>714015602I also prefer nightreign over ER.
ER feels too bloated with all of its useless dungeons and boring bosses
>>714014356 (OP)Forgot it came out
>>714038991That makes no fucking sense. Nightreign is entirely just clearing boring camps and fighting boring bosses until the last boss of the run.
is there any chance of liking this game if I'm only gonna play it solo
>>714040081Maybe? Solo right now though is way easier than multiplayer.
>>714040081Unless this is the last Soulslike-ish game on earth you haven't played you should just buy another one instead.
>>714039496Now instead of doing that with copy and paste bosses and actual unique bosses over the course of a 100 hour open world playthrough now I can do the exact same thing but in a condensed 40 minute run and try different ER playstyles and weapons on the way! Yay
>>714014356 (OP)Objectively correct Boss Music Ranking:
Caligo > Gnoster > Maris > Heolstor > Libra > Fulghor > Adel = Gladius (they're both bogstandard shit)
It needed more, feels more like a demo. Though I guess the Competicucks are already sucking its dick. p.s, nobody listens to you because you are a fag who thinks the world revolves around you. And while they may have lost a run you lose everyday by being you.
>>714025514The first time i beat the final boss it was with bird, both of my teammates were dead, twice, and i revived them both twice, and I got the final kill anyway.
>>714039496I don't need to spend 100 hours to reach a fun boss just because I got lost in the copypasted dungeon #68754
>>714022216You could say this a few years ago, but it doesn't work anymore.
>>714040663Libra is easily the best, idk what you're smoking
>100 hours
>haven't found a single good random relic drop
>>714039496You don't like video games.
>>714014356 (OP)Nightreign sucks, Elden Ring sucked too. I don't get the appeal at all, it's so much worse than other fromsoft games

>>714014356 (OP)The game is a ton of fun. The biggest issue is it being a budget title. I would have happily paid $70 for a few more nightlords, some more old bosses returning, like 2 more characters, and more randomized map events. Basically just more content.
The clearly will not have new content ready for months, probably 6-8. Everything being released now is in the files and it is still being done at a snail's pace. Clearly all of the discourse surrounding the game and the general negative sentiment got to them so they were not prepared for the success and largely positive response from the community.
>>714014356 (OP)It's fun, but needs more characters, more map variety, and more skins
>>714025192Guardian is useful. If he can hold aggro on the boss his block (along with a decent shield + some guard up passives) can really make it so the other two can just go nuts on the boss. His ultimate is good, especially when it heals.
Revenant is actually just bad. She is a worse FAI caster than Recluse, has FP problems, her ultimate is shitty, and her summons die instantly vs Nightlords, especially these buffed up everdark ones.
>>714016462>Gameplay footage of Guardian doing what he does best (nothing)Both teammates being down is the icing on the cake.
>>714014356 (OP)We need a STR/FAI Paladin archetype and a STR/INT Royal Knight archetype.
I declare that the STR/INT should be a woman in full plate armor so you can't even tell she is a woman but then has a soft voice. The STR/FAI Paladin guy should be decked out in heavy armor but then not wear a helmet and look like a giga chad with long hair.
>>714043440Lol yeah me either. Theyโre simply too goddamn rare.
Also, is there any reason to hang onto the tiny ones?
>>714014356 (OP)It has roguelike elements so nah I'd skipped it
>>714044520I want a str/fai equivalent to duchess but she's a huge lady knight instead. I'd be fine if they were str/int. We need a colossal sword specialist
>>714027150>with the bird and the doll you know they aren't some idiotA vast majority of my losses are with bird partners, by far the most retarded playerbase.
Ironeye is hard to notice because the role is easy and they rarely make or break a run (probably the most illiterate playerbase though). Duchess kind of sucks but less because of the character and more because it tends to attract the biggest leader complex faggots that try to micromanage everyone.
>>714014356 (OP)6/10
Should've been 20 bucks at most for the amount of new content you're actually getting. The game doesn't even deserve the "roguelite" tag because of how little randomization there is between runs and the practically nonexistent progression system. On top of that 90% of each run is farming trash that can barely fight back until you get to the only somewhat interesting content in the game.
>>714044520I'm actually surprised there was no sword and board guy; they kind of did it with Wylder but not really.
I think a beastman claw/fist dude would be cool, or a crazy perfumer. It's an extremely longshot but I want a Great Katana dude because I think that weapon is neato.
>>714044879I just meant moreso in terms of stat scaling. Like there are straight up STR/INT and STR/FAI weapons in the game that no one can really use appropriately. I mean Wylder can kind of use them, but it is weird that they didn't add those but kept the weapons in.
I do agree that there are a ton of archetypes they can do. A claw/fist guy as you said, a spear user, straight/curved sword user, etc. I mean they can make someone specialize in basically any type of weapon that is not already being used.
It is also really weird that Raider can use whatever type of colossal weapon he wants but Wylder is so autistic he only cares about greatswords and not curved greatswords.
>>714025192Ironeye main opinion on seeing any one of the tanky trio at character select
>Love to seeRaider
>50/50Executioner
>Might as well quit nowGuardian
A good Raider is essentially a free win.
>>714044983Oh true, I agree with that too.
And I feel like Raider should have just been good with Great Hammers, not all colossal weapons.
I'm having a great time. Just finished heolster for the first time. Recluse is fun.
>>714044520It's weird we got a Sekiro guy but no Bloodborne guy, someone with a health drain gimmick and a parry while using an offhand crossbow would be fun.
Martial Arts guy has been thrown around too, could be the reverse quality distribution from Wylder with A Dex and B Str.
>>714044879There's not much of a need when anything interesting you could do with blocking is already covered by Guardian and Executioner.
>>714045137I have not touched Recluse or Guardian and i'm not sure i will
>>714045310NTA, but I only played them to get the 'chevo for beating a nightlord with each character.
I predominantly play duchess and wylder, aka John and Jane Nightreign.

4. Thief class

>>714014356 (OP)me and my brother who beat elden ring DLC prenerf didnt't buy it and think its garbage
meanwhile my normie co worker who didn't even finish elden ring LOVES nightreign.
what does this tell you?
>>714047276I'm surprised there's no dedicated healer
>>714044404Revenant is weird, you have to work a LOT harder than most other people to do well - her ult is great as a teamwipe recovery, but she's also fragile as fuck - if you're not on your toes and good at dodging (with a completely standard roll, no extra iframes like Recluse, spam dodge like Duchess, or fuckloads of HP/block stance like Guardian) then you're probably not going to be the last one standing while your two buddies are on 3 bars.
Still, I'd say she's fine - smaller drop pool means she's more likely to get a good seal than Recluse, mage towers are fuckin fountains of starlight shards so FP isn't a big problem, wraith calling bell is a pretty good fallback for if you get real unlucky, her claw is the best melee weapon in the game for reviving allies and scales with faith as another fallback if you're confident enough to stay in melee, your summons are fragile but any distraction is still useful.
None of the characters are bad, really. Guardian's DPS is low compared to everyone else, but he's useful in plenty of other ways.
>>714047346I don't know. Because i enjoyed the Elden Ring DLC and enjoy Nightreign
>>714047346you and your brother have shit taste and your normie co worker had fun
Is a character's size is an actual factor when trying to avoid attacks or do they all share the same hurtboxes?
>>714047346>what does this sample size of two tell you, huh?That you're retarded?
>>714047276>3. Pure faith user (preferably one who leans towards strength)That's just Revenant. We don't have a real pure Int user yet, though it'd be tough to distinguish them from Recluse.
>4. Thief classDuchess already kind of covers all the bases on that one.
It's already been mentioned but Str/Faith chad is the most obvious thing that the game doesn't really cover, could easily work as a counterpart to Duchess's Int/Dex build.
>>714046462You start poisetanking lighter hits at 51 poise
>>714047497Shorter characters have smaller hurtboxes and larger character have slightly more reach on their attacks, neither is hugely impactful though.
>>714046071Mirror Knight with his original gimmick
>>714047346that nothing will ever beat your love of sucking cock
I usually get to bosses around lvl 11, is that enough? Iโm playing wylder and it feels like Iโm barely doing any damage to bosses. Usually I have a greatsword and shield, sometimes a talisman
This is my first souls game btw, I donโt think I understand how magic or boss weaknesses are supposed to work. If the first boss is weak to holy, should I try to find swords that do holy damage?
>>714047361>I'm surprised there's no dedicated healerAdding it to my obsessive list:
>>714047050A Shaman/Numen character - whatever race Marika was as a devoted healer class. Maybe one who either escaped or survived Jar'dom.
>>714045250>anything interesting you could do with blocking is already covered by Guardian and Executioner.More offensive blocking, maybe? Like character passive is replacing the parry action on shields with a more aggressive charging shield slam that works on parryable attacks but also does big stagger if you parry big stuff. Straight Sword + Medium/Light shield custom moveset that replaces L1 with a an attack string with guard points built in like the pair Sword and Shield weapons.
No idea on skill/ult, could just do some generic Captain America shit and throw the shield for the skill but that seems rather uninspired.
>>714047742It's doable but with good routing you should be making it to night 3 at 13-15. You can consistently end night 1 at lvl 9
Boss weaknesses usually cancel a mechanic as well as do more damage. They're not necessary but it really helps a lot to have something something in the offhand for the bosses that you want to stagger with their weakness
>4 more days until ultrablack bug bros
>>714047742Yes you want holy damage, and you can hit level 14-15 once you are more experienced and have better routes. Until then try to at least be like 13.
The castle is one of the best spots to go to on day 2. If it isn't the dumb pot throwing giants you can fully clear it out (one boss in the basement, one on the roof, all the wandering guys) and that alone along with some other random shit will get you to 14/15.
Make sure to buy all the revives. Try to get the boss weakness on a weapon, if it is blue do a mine to upgrade it to purple.
>>714047742The night lords? 11 is doable (I think the softcap is 13, don't quote me) but you really shouldn't be that low from an entire run. You're probably not using your time optimally.
>I donโt think I understand how magic or boss weaknesses are supposed to work. If the first boss is weak to holy, should I try to find swords that do holy damage?Increased damage and most bosses have some gimmick where getting hit by their weakness debuffs or stuns them in certain situations. Look for camps with an icon indicating the element/status the boss is weak to. Also make sure to hit a mine if you're using a weapon that isn't fully upgraded already (purple or gold) so you can get a smith stone 2 from the mine's boss.
>team wants to fight the goat on day one
>team wants to aggro an entire camp with invaders day one
>team ignores the volcano entirely on day 2
>team instantly wipes to horse/goat cock
Having fun tho
I don't understand why this game still has insane player count despite the fact there is no incentive to play
>>714046071>Post your wishlists for throwback bosses motherfuckers.I'm fine with throwback bosses, but I want more Elden Ring Bosses for LORE IMPLICATIONS. "I clapped" when I saw Godrick the Grafted used Crucible Arts in his second phase and when Margit started doing Blood Arts like his brother.

>>714048647It is mostly the game is so easy that it is boring and the content is being added too slowly.
>>714048743Oh so i guess they hit the diminishing returns of making the game more casual?
Okay you fags here is the tip that is gonna make you 100% better at this game:
If you're NOT playing Guardian or Raider then you need to need to have as much VIT on your relics as possible. +9 is preferred. +6 is fine for Wylder. With that you will have double the HP early game and like 25% more late game before you get potential HP bonuses. Doing a bit more damage won't matter if you die.
>>714048804Yes, I mean literally. People thought World/Rise were casual and Jesus Christ, they are Freedom Unite compared to Wilds. Wilds is an actual baby game.
>>714047893If I had to design another shield character:
>Vanguard>HP A, FP D, STA S, STR B, DEX A, INT D, FAI B, ARC D>Starting weapons: Straight Sword, Medium Shield (unique moveset when equipped with a straight sword plus medium shield, reminiscent of the Valorheart from DaS3)>Passive: Stalwart (Reduced Stamina cost for Blocking and Guard Counter, shorter guard break animation than normal)>Skill: Stampede (the first part of Meteoric Ore Greatsword's weapon art, basically. If shield is equipped, will hold it up to absorb damage while moving).>Ultimate: Rally the Troops (Light AoE damage, gives user and allies increased damage absorption, HP and Stamina regen, and cures any status build up).

>>714049078There are more than 2 endings? I thought it was just Wylder's + Everyone elses.

>>714049317>>714049362>DuchessFuck, meant Recluse

I think personally that makes them the "canonical" team that takes down the nightlord as all of their endings can make sense happening at the same time.
>>714049434If all three actually happened then the world would just be completely fucked.
>Amped up Nightlord running about>The thing that can put a stop to the Night was just fucking murdered>Recluse has a baby Nightlord too I guess

>>714049540Ironeye keeps the nightlord rune's for himself so that he basically has the powers of the night. Recluse is raising her baby to not be a nightlord anymore (kind of the whole point of the story is she realizes her mistake is she didn't love her monster baby enough).
but the point of their endings is that they are choosing the selfish option in order to keep living and hanging out with their bros at the roundtable hold

>>714050640Ironeye takes the Nightlord's rune, the thing that gives the Nightlord power over the Night, and keeps it for himself.
Usually you would give it to the corpse in the alt Roundtable Hold (we have no confirmation on who this corpse is) to end the night, but Ironeye instead kills the corpse, so that there is (as far as we know) now no way to end the night. Wylder is officially the new Nightlord but even if he is ever defeated Ironeye will still have the rune.
>>714050249Really fucking weird that Elden Ring didn't have mimics at all

>>714050824Recluse is fun when it all works, but sometimes it literally just doesn't and you have basically no control over it. One run you have access to all elements, teammates who use elemental damage sparingly or with slower weapons, and are up to your tits in high level spells and you're slinging death nukes left and right and can make whatever cocktail you feel like whenever you feel like. Then the next run you're stuck with shitty world drop staves and rejection seals, you have only two elements, and it doesn't even matter because you're paired with an ironeye and/or duchess applying their own element three times every frame. Bonus cancer points if it's holy.

80 HOURS
LOVE IT
see many things from it that I wish were in Base Game, and vice versa
Expecting 300 to 500 hours, ans currently no plans to do Base Elden again after my 1100. Shadows was actually a shit DLC for summons, Shadushit not scaling in multiplayer for bosses sucks. Nightteign fills that void
What kinds of new Nightlords could we get in DLC? Assuming no overlap, elemental/status affinities which arenโt the *primary* theme of a given boss so far could be magic (if we consider Maris/mothman to be primarily sleep/poison), bleed, rot, and maybe deathblight (if Wormface at night wasnโt enough)
>>714052528I feel a good rot-susceptible boss would be a giant plant of some sort. Think Bed of Chaos but not utter shit, but it still does take up a HUGE amount of the arena.
I've been playing for 160 hours and I haven't gotten that tired of it (just a little tired). I'm usually the last one alive no matter what class I play and being the hero that saves the run is like a drug

>>714014356 (OP)it's honestly a 30 dollar game. They need more content, things are fun, but some shit FEELS like it was almost complete. It feels like all the characters were supposed to have relics that gave them an alt weapon. It feels like there was supposed to be PVP at some point. It feels like they didn't want to commit to map gimmicks being the entire map instead of a corner of it.
It's almost amazing, it just needs some shit. I hope they let us invade players and beat their ass. Or, the final boss, Evil Nightreign, we get the option to be Evil Nightreign Baron as our character and abuse the shit out of other players like the Spear of the Church in DS3.

>>714055695>I hope they let us invade players and beat their assThe fact there's NPC Night Invaders implies that there will be PC Night Invaders at some point.

Structurally it actually benefits a lot from the mechanics it ripped off from fortnite and hades, but it doesn't implement them particularly well and the roguelite aspect is easily the weakest draw because your character progression throughout a run is very boring and relics are awful
The new bosses are a mixed bag, they ranged from AoE spamming dragons to seizure having Deviljho ripoffs to teleporting humanoids
The biggest draw of the game is the characters, who are all fun to play and gangbang dark souls 1 bosses with

still haven't played it since i hate rogue shit but i might try it, does anyone know when it gets dlc? (as in actual content and not just buffed bosses)
Is it possible to make a femboy character in the base game character creator? Asking for a friend.
Itโs fun. I wish there were more night bosses and randomness in limveld but the nightlords are great. All the characters are very fun to play as if you take a bit to learn their skills and doing their remembrances gives you a good relic or two that makes them better. I think shifting earths change runs enough though I hope more are added, and I hope we get SOTE weapons as well. Iโm having more fun with it than SOTE, really. SOTE was just kind of disappointing on release and I liked it a lot better when I replayed it, so I wouldnโt say Nightreign is better than SOTE, but Iโd rather refight any one of these nightlords than some of the bosses from that DLC. Of course that expansion had dungeons too and those were fun and a big part of why I like it better than this game because this game doesnโt really have those except for the caves and some shifting earths like Nokteleo or whatever itโs called I guess and the crater.

>>714014356 (OP)I got the game but I wanted to wait for duos before actually starting, since I'll be playing with a friend.
So, when are the duos coming?
So DLC will have 2 nightlords and 2 characters, right?
Any chance they'll add more normal bosses to the boss pools and maybe more random events/shifting earth events? I feel like the game could really use better variety.
>>714063204Honestly I hope they see the player retention and feedback and set the game up for longer success than 'here's a DLC in 6-9 months have fun'. It's so nice to have bitesized pieces of gear progression and a greatest hits of bosses and areas.
>>714063204they should add more fucking skins, if they can't add more Dark Souls skins for whatever reason, then they should put some of the more iconic ER sets in the game (Raging Wolf, Snow Witch, etc).
the key to being useful as a guardian is to not gimp yourself by limiting yourself to only spears or halberds unless you get lucky with a drop
hes still just worse raider/wylder but at least you can dish out some respectable damage
he really needs a buff though, the commitment to animations you have to do as guardian is insane and unlike most other classes you absolutely need to upgrade both your weapon and shield or get lucky drops to be any use at all

>>714067368I got deathrite bird in the castle once when I had a celebrant's cleaver with sacred order as recluse. With sacred order active every r1 took a MASSIVE chunk off his HP bar, it was fucking amazing how fast he went down.
>>714074273I should start looking for holy weapons during runs.
>>714074273The real fun is having Shared Order to buff yourself with, holding a weapon with sacred order active in left hand, and Sacred Blade in main hand. A delicious x1.5 x2 x2 damage bonus, in addition to their natural x1.4 weakness to holy and x1.5 headshot damage. Holy Water pots also have a x4 damage bonus, but this doesnโt stack with sacred blade, but will stack with Sacred Order active in left and right hands simultaneously for same numbers.
If recluse or revenant and happen upon a Seal with โLitany of Proper Deathโ it does x10 damage to undead.
>>714070854Suddenly seeing the exact same map layout 2-3 times per session makes sense.
>>714074773Itโs even worse when you realise 20 out of the 40 are shifting earth seeds. Which are incredibly fucking rare unless forced. So 90% of time thereโs only 20 possible seeds for each expedition.
>>714074273Hole weapons are so rare in this game, meanwhile fire weapons just lies everywhere.
>>714075082Really? I find Bubble-boy cathedrals constantly, which is annoying since the stonesword key chest is so much more out of the way than other cathedrals.

Love this motherfucker like you wouldn't believe. He's basically Godfrey before he met Marika.
is birdman really that bad or just people don't know how to guard counter
>>714074751It's fun rolling something like Halo Scythe and headshotting it with Miquella's Rings for thousands of health before it even aggros.
Notably it's just as weak to strike damage as holy, so colossals hammers and fists also fuck it up in record time, even without the buff stack or going for the head.
It drops a ton of runes and its ghostflame attacks also trickle down to lower floors and can kill crucible knights etc down there if you didn't already, it's a very good rooftop boss to roll.
>>714076670He is good as a tank and revivebot which is less useful the better a party is. His DPS is relatively low as well. He is still decent and useful but other characters are noticeably stronger.

>>714076670His low damage sticks out more solo, but if you roll tibia mariner guard counter or pick up a powerstance setup for the times you don't need a shield it's still serviceable. Shieldpokes disabling the steel guard reflect blows and should not be a thing.

>>714014356 (OP)>reddit ringzzanzibart...forgive me...
>>714077845Neither character's forced to commit to guarding if it doesn't fit the situation. Guardian's "problem" is hitting level 15 and functionally being a level 9 Wylder offensively, while everyone else gets to do real damage. It's detrimental for racing the ring, and the longer a Nightlord fight takes the more chances there are for the run to go south. He is at least dealt the best hand for being able to save a group as the last one standing, but he also enables getting to that point more than the rest do.
>>714077845>but it'd be hard to argue any other character is worse than himRevenant exists.
>maybe executorI've never understood this opinion though. Executor doesn't have flashy big damage skills but his kit is solid and he's great at applying bleed, both because of his high ARC and his drop pool giving him an overall much higher chance of innate bleed weapons than any of the rest of the cast, and bleed is still as crazy strong as it was in Elden Ring.

>>714070317Surely they could make at least a couple of emotes/stickers/stamps in the same style they use for character icons and skills. Combination of basic stuff like "Follow", "Here" and "Help" would go a long way.

>Most bird mains are genuinely really bad with him and you will notice a shit bird on your team more than a shit anything else.>He really is in contention for most undertuned character in the roster even in a good player's hands.He has both a high execution floor and a low skill ceiling, funny enough.
>>714076670He's not bad but he can feel very bad if you don't get a good halberd or shield since even in the enhanced guard you can still get knocked a mile away by a lot of boss attacks. I think he's genuinely the best trash mob clearer in the game though, nothing is more efficient than dropping a charged extended tornado on groups on your way to bosses and it adds a lot of runes over the course of a run.
>>714080329I hate when people say "bird is good with relics" like that magically makes up for everything.
I could slap relics on bird to fix him, yeah, but I can also slap relics on good characters to make them even better.
>>714080816Hoarfrost Stomp is arguably better. No charge time, longer reach, frost proc ensures kills on nearly every trash mob even at low level and is a valuable debuff for bosses, and unlike tornado you can do two if needed. Theoretically gives you room for a different Guardian effect on the same relic too, but lmao good luck with that.
>>714080829Oh I also forgot stam on attack relic
>reflect counts as an attack giving stam for each reflectBird is good, he just isn't good in all situations for example Heolstor is a chain attack fight, birds reflect DESTROYS Heolstor meanwhile Adel, Baron of Night fucking runs around, does grabs, and aoes most the time, the bird is shit on Adel, Baron of Night.

Some personal bias because I want to see some of these bosses with updated models, but I tried to stick to bosses that could have fun gimmicks and/or that would be easier to adapt to a game like Nightreign.
For instance Pursuer's gimmick could be that he randomly invades throughout the day, preferring lone wolf targets when available, with damage carrying over from encounter to encounter. He would have a large health pool, but it would still be theoretically possible to kill him before the final confrontation at night.
>>714049594Nah he was playing solo with randoms. He was just having a tantrum cause I said no lmao.

>>714083639>wish it had content from the DLC It's borderline criminal that it doesn't, especially with the hippo of all things getting in anyway.
>>714079023imagine making fun of reddit while having your posts read like they are procedurally generated
>>714014356 (OP)surprisingly fun, but definitly lacking in its replayability regarding the map/boss variety (unironically, not enough reused assets from the other games, and how you always get the same bosses pool for each nightlords); multiplayer matchup is badly done (i think they fixed the issues with remembrances but not sure).
the nightlords boss are all very cool and i like all of the nightfarers conceptually.
They should have put a Limgrave, Altus Plateau and Underground map, each with terrain variation. Need more bosses/weapons from Elden Ring dlcs too
>>714085154I really hope they are working on updates, their formula is surprisingly working but they need to improve it. Especially the bonus rewardes after defeating the boss, I feel like I don't really need most of them and would rather take 10-20k of runes instead. Some of them are very situative or even worthless, like imrpoving dragon or beast incantations.

I must have a dozen hours of just playing Duchess under my belt and I still have no idea how her ability works or when I should be using it. I just like being fast and double dodging.
>>714091282It's designed to be pretty hard to fuck up. It can restage the damage done by bleed/frost procs or criticals, but it can also restage the status buildup or stance damage that leads up to the proc/crit.
The only bad time you can pop it is when a stance break happens but before anyone crits the mob.
>>714091282You use it after any bleed/frost proc, ultimate, critical hit, or even if people got a lot of damage in cause the boss was stunned.
>>714091282it reapplies 50% of the damage done in the last few seconds

Surprisingly good but a bit overpriced. Feels like a solid ยฃ20-25 smaller scale spin off. It recycles the cut content of Elden Ring into something thats fun but shockingly feels more like something for fans of Armoured Core than Elden Ring in execution and i didn't get that until i got my hands on it.
I genuinely didn't expect to like it but found myself mostly enjoying it. It still has some issues like how i want runs all weekend on revenant and go 0 relics for her but over 60 for ironeye, maybe some kind of bad luck protection or higher rarities of the gacha at the murk shop like monster hunter talisman/deco cauldrons. Plus i feel like too much of it relies on watching guides on youtube to know things like Duchess seems to be intended to be a spellsword rather than the bloodborne to executors sekiro like people expected at first.
Personally i'd like some characters base on the archetypes that failed in Elden Ring like Madness cultist or Maybe try a Destiny Gambit style mode where 6 players load in and can pvp to slow each others progress as only one can kill the nightlord?
>>714044513>wins by doing nothing
>>714088583What else are you using your FP for? It's pretty cheap anyway, you'll likely pass a grace by the time you run out unless you're stomping everything in a fort at lv2. Having to keep the starting weapon can be inconvenient sometimes, but it speeds up the early game and anyone but Ironeye and Recluse can use the relic. In coop someone might pick your weapon up and take over on stomping anyway.
>>714046071Allant and Pursuer would make me cum. Artorias would be great as well. Add Gael in as a surprise wildcard Nightlord or something idk
>>714048118It's fun and hits that 40-50 minute sweet spot of game time so that it doesn't feel too quick to matter and also doesn't overstay its welcome. Oddly enough that's about how long MOBA matches.
One thing I notice about these games is the enemies don't even throw out very many hitboxes. For the most part they just stand around damage sponging. Half their attacks are easily avoided or nonthreatening to begin with. When they actually throw out a threatening attack once every 25 seconds, the player will spam dodgeroll and heal, while cursing how unfair it is.
You can add one enemy, not boss, enemy from a past game into the world without telling the players.
