That white horn fight wasn't fun, i guess it's my fault for not doing it very early. Third phase really needs a better way to let you know you're not about to be double teamed. Also lmao another boss not killed by Kliff and these boss rewards need to be more unique for their flavor text

>>563701649
I love frost mantle because its OP and you are invincible, but it drains spirit so fast to compensate. If you could cap out 50/50 on spirit regen, you'd be able to hold it twice as long, and you'd regen like crazy when you're just moving around. Hmm, I must investigate.
>>
>>563702168
stacking tons of passive regen is largely pointless when food that restores both health and spirit is cheap and spammable

there should be an increasing cooldown timer on food the more you use it within a given window, to force people to make and use the higher tier shit instead of just spamming the cheapest shit they can make 10x as often

dd2 dropped down to 110k players after the first month. cd is following an almost exact trajectory, with also very similar peak players. so by the end of the second month, this game should have a daily peak of about 13k.

it doesnt really matter. japan can never do wrong, so as soon as the dd2 dlc hopium hit steam today, threads are capping again. korean games have to do everything perfectly to prove its worth, any japanese game can shit the bed 50 times in a row before it convinces people its actually not good

So the whole plot is just the ayylmaos experimenting with the multiverses by messing with a "chosen one" to ensure his success in getting the best ending?

The emphasize on "kindness" is probably a safeguard so Kliffy boy wouldn't turn on them for making a Truman Show out of his life.

that's not what I asked but yeah I agree. the first time you go up to the abyss area during the intro and get to see the entire map so clearly is really cool. the lods or whatever are one of the most impressive things about this game

Probably in his stable, but fuck the game for having the escort tutorial in the middle of the crimson desert.

>>563723219
you get the escort tutorial with the cripple greymane in chapter 3~ of the game before the camp? the game tells you to get on a horse and the npc will follow.

does momentum abyss gear work on damiane? I finally got it from timeworn ruins excavation and crafted one for kliff, but I need more mats to craft another for her if it works
>>
>>563699079
longsword -> best r2
spear -> best turning slash
sword and board -> allrounder
dual wield -> best blinding flash finisher
>>
>>563726118
spear is actually great for spamming hound's claws on the hold A combo and a single unarmed hit or 2 normals skips into fully charged stab with whatever gears you have that also skips straight into double kick
r2 spam feels weak by comparison

So if you want to stack the most abyss gears then you go for duel wield right? 2h has 5 slots and dual wield has 6 (3 in each sword)?
Wouldn't the loss of a shield's defense stat be felt pretty badly though?

hound's claws huh, let me give it a spin
>r2 spam feels weak by comparison
it does, I guess because it uses more stamina than longsword's r2? also firing much slower than longsword's too for some reason
>>
>>563731142
i have 15 attack speed but it takes a ton of stamina even without any abyss gears but that stab combo can oneshot any elite enemy

So I have my howling hill 4th base upgrade that's nearly completed.

If i'm on a mission, will the stupid cutscene trigger and pull me out of the quest once it completes? How does it work exactly if you don't just go to sleep in order to wait for it to be completed
>>
>>563732790
I was out fucking around and I didn't get a cutscene. Came back and it was completed.
I was walking around camp looking at what changed and I saw one of the treasure chest goblins for the first time. I remembered the gimmick with them and preceded to rob that fucker. I was immediately arrested and sent to jail, no chance to run, ust an instant fade to black. Your own people squealing on you like that, maybe the Black Bears were in the right.

Why refuse to use a controller when the game plays better on one and is clearly designed with one in mind?

Spear has the best pump kick and spinning slash equivalent. Swapping to it is free unline other weapons. The propeller spear is really fu

>>563737548
nta, but a bog standard controller feels like ass especially all the l3/r3 inputs

a controller with a bunch of extra buttons/paddles is great however

>>563738596
For me an mmo mouse is perfect for the game
>>
>>563737548
LOL this game is clearly not designed with a controller in mind
>>
>>563738596
Every controller except the basic PS5/Xbox controllers have extra buttons now, and those ones are the most expensive and always break. I have the 8bitdo one with the extra shoulder buttons to map sticks to and it feels very natural, but back paddles would be fine too.

8bitdo's ergos have always felt a bit off to me, I broke down and grabbed a razer wolverine 8k with l4/l5 and 2 additional paddles on each side, it's been comfy so far

l4/l5 mapped to l3/l4 so either can be used is hte way to go for sure, sometimes its easier to reach for the shoulder button sometimes its easier to click the stick

>lich armor cant be upgraded
if that's the frost one, you can technically upgrade it via kuku pot for better stats, but yeah, most "unique" items being unrefinable is a major complaint, and 2h weapons across the board not being dyeable is a crime

There's zero reason for the fucking fertilizer/water sprayer to need to recharge. Everything to do with farming is completely retarded.
>>
>>563702391
That's the main issue I saw with combat balance, too. Other than just growing bored of a particular style, there's not much point in exploring the various weapons and combos - I've powered through some of the hardest fights just with clear soup, volcanic eruption and groundsurge spam.
>>
>>563707450
That's because the characters aren't androgynous smoothskin animu fags, which is what the slopes crave above all.

>>563741856
I got the do because I kept having ps5 and xbox elite controllers break on me, so I went with cheaper options and kept returning them to amazon until I got this. It's cheap and has lasted for WAY longer than a 1st party controller and I like the quick toggle turbo. p nice.

Yeah it's the frost one and I know it can be kuku upgraded, but it changes the look, its still not dyable, and iirc you can't socket it. It's JRPG devs loving their useless character stats. Fucking annoying
>>
>>563727774
Not really, once you upgrade your armor. The speed and damage output make up for it

plenty of the labeled areas along the edges of the map are inaccessable and just there for visual flavor, like sunbaked peaks and everfrost

with the exception of pailune which I haven't gone back to yet, the lighter areas on this map are all "playable" area - I ran in a giant circle around the edge of the map during the first week or two of the game being out

What the FUCK is up with the Archon of undumbra or we. He one shots me and has a shit ton of health.

Is it some endgame boss or am I just shit?
>>
Pretty view, in any case. Worth the trip.
>>
>>563754917
all of the antumbra bosses are more endgame tier than you most likely are when you first stumble across them, if you beeline through the witch quests as soon as you unlock them (end of act 4 in MSQ)
>>
Had it not been for the diarrhea controls and bad bosses, I'm thinking this might be one of the greatest games yall. I don't even think it's too late to fix all the issues.

Like once the game is completely polished and people really start modding it...this could easily be as famous as Skyrim IMO.
>>
People are so fucking bad at this game. I just beat the Crimson Nightmare and got curious to see other methods people used to kill it. All I found were people whoning that it's "literally the worst boss ever made" and "unintuitive".

Really, niggas?
>>
>>563754917
Ator has 90% damage reduction. He's a punchjng bag once you learn his moves but he's an endgame punching bag. By then you should have a bunch lf stamina and gears to breeze through him.
>>
>>563754917
There are some super bosses that are essentially postgame content, and he's one of them. You need good gear and to get good to beat him but it's a nice fight
If you parry the first or second hit in his standard combo he wont shoot the balls and like other bosses, gets easier to hitstun, so you can get a full R2 combo off. If you never had to do it for the easier bosses this is the time to learn.
>>
>>563756275
His weaknesses are extemely obvious. He's just begging you to use your skills.

He, like all bosses, has a standard combo outside of all his specials or invincibility phases. I don't know what else to call it, every boss has one and it's easy to identify

I must have died about 30 times in a row to One Armed Ludvig as Oongka. Am I that bad at the game or are you meant to farm him up a bit instead of going and tackling the boss with zero upgrades?

Kemono is dead anon.

Fanbox even openly announced that they knew about kemono and how they le won or some shit lol. Wont be suprised if entire site will go down soon since server upkeep wont be paid and it will stay up depending for how long owner paid upfront and I doubt it was for very long.
