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 lmaoanother boss not killed by Kliffand these boss rewards need to be more unique for their flavor text

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
I started playing 2 days and while I'm not quite having a blast™, I am enjoying myself

I think renodx gets rid of the neon grass. Grass being neon green in direct sunlight is actually realistic but not during overcast

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

hound's claws huh, let me give it a spin

it does, I guess because it uses more stamina than longsword's r2? also firing much slower than longsword's too for some reason

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.

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.

WELL FUCK ME THEN DEVS. Do I go for a golden yellow armor theme to go with my cool new sword or what? I honestly don't know where to go from here
>>
>>
>>
>>563739987
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
>>563740934
the bear dudes stronghold yeah? sht gets crazy with like 50-60 guys swarming you in tight confines, it's great
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>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.

>>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

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

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
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 fightIf 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.

if you haven't been leveling baseline hp/mp/stamina then yeah
it also can't hurt to throw on a set of jewelry and armor and weapons that are +4
but the base stats are the important part and those levels are shared between characters

This is the opposite of autism. I want to be able to keep fighting enemies in the game. They're the autistic ones for thinking I'd be content with just walking around the world doing nothing once I got into late game. Unless you're honestly suggesting these devs want you stop playing this game at some point

Kemono is dead anon. Owner went completly offline back in November and coincidentally both Patreon and Fanbox pushed out new scrapping counter measures at beggining of this year so yeah only top 3% of stuff gets updated manually by people and thats it. 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.
