>Sorry chud you accidentlally played the game wrong so now you've overleveled and made a huge chunk of content pointless or you progressed too far and got locked out of content you didnt even know existedSorry for not being fucking clairvoyant I guess.
that's why we need level scaling in games like theseoblivion did it perfectly
>>749507436>level scalingWhy not just make stats matter lessWhy this weird workaround to fix a self-made problem
>>749507597it would end up being the same thing really
>>749507361>its another seethe at dd2 because people cant help themselves Have you considered playing other games? People who played dd1 knew that doing dlc would over level the main story.
RPGs should ditch levels entirely.

>>749507361The base game pretty much sucks so "ruining" it isn't a problem. The DLC area is the only worthwhile part. Not perfect, but worth playing.>>749507436Dumbest post I've ever read in a DD thread.

So now that Fighter is inarguably the greatest melee vocation for pawns, you are running one, right?
how the fuck do i get here

why does he squint like this
>>749508743It highlights all the strengths and weaknesses of the game. It fluctuates between being amazing when everything clicks, and being incredibly tedious and annoying.
>>749508689there's a cave nearby>>749508743the game hasn't changed very much since launch. the DLC is largely endgame content, just like the first dark arisen, which was lacking before.capcom has optimized the game a lot, so it's much more stable than it was.if you played the first game, it's basically the same game as this. which is to say, a very systems-driven action RPG.
>>749508941Have you ever had the sun in your eyes?
So Capcom is done with updating this game now, right?
>>749508941LMAO you fucking negative canthal tilt chud, he's squintmaxxxxxing to get hunter eyes.
i logged on for the first time since launch, i got a lvl 42 character, is that good enough for the dlc (though i forgot how to play)
>tfw didn't read and went to Norgan at lvl 20>get raped by every single mob>cheese them for a bit and gain some levels and gear>appraise the gear>it's better than end-game gearWell, atleast now I can put up a fight. Did they also change something about death? Or could you always chug a potion before you entered the death animation when you're at 0hp? Feels weird.
>>749509121Yeah. Not knowing what youre doing and having shit gear for the dlc is gonna fuck you hard tho
>>749509121in NG? maybe. beginning of NG+ i was 68 and got fucking stomped until i started using the magicke shielde
Ran into some magical wolf that kicked my ass. I had to run away.
>>749509121DLC is 40+ so that's perfect. Your gear will suck ass though, but it won't take long to get new gear.
you can just use weaker gear, level barely matters
>>749507436>oblivion did it perfectly
>>749509121The way they balanced the DLC for different player levels is to have the gear be so much stronger than anything you'll find in the base game that your character going in basically doesn't matter, I hate this approach personally but I guess they didnt want low level characters locked out of the DLC
>>749507361literally just play on hard mode and it stops this from happening. otherwise just dont upgrade your gear
>>749508171Your fault for buying the series of cards with the greatest litany of problems
why did my slave start talking about some weird pawn disease
>>749509397just the ramblings of the lobotomizedheed it no mind

>>749509734jackie chan
>>74950973425 enemies, 14 with boss hp bars. So it adds more than half of what the base game had to begin with
>>749509397One shouldn't pay any heed to the rantings of dullards who have naught
>>749507361Just switch up to hard modeI’m level 85 now in norgan and I’m absolutely not over leveledI basically gain a level every time I fight a big enemy
>>749509753the first encounter is a 'welcome to dark souls' thing but yeah the first one you see out and about do the same thing
should I do the 12 dungeons before I do the dlc on a new character
but you told me the dlc was successful?
>>749509734Most of the new enemies are slop (FUCK BUGABOOS) but the bosses are pretty much all kino. Warrior players get to be king now with all the bosses they can bully the shit out of

Random question: does the Arisen no longer look at NPCs during dialogue any more? I started a new game and there's no head pivoting going on like at all. The Arisen just stares ahead dumbly, and I don't remember it being like that...it's not a 'simple' voice set thing is it?
>>749509971it said that yesterdayalso it is endgame stuff, remember
>>749509886Good to know. Think i'll do the main quest a bit more to get the godsway and then knock out some of the new dungeons before going back.
>>749509937Do the first 4, then go to norgan and do the first main quests then go back and do the other dungeons
Where the fuck did the lvl 40 recommended for the dlc come from that shit is dead wrong.>get to DLC LAND at low lvl 40 (not ng+ started a new character with decent gear for that level)>first enemy encounter i get my shit slapped for like 10 mins>finally win with lots of kiting and lucky pawn revives>wtf was that>finally start getting some dlc gear to appraise>it's so much better than anything i could have brought in>every enemy gives as much exp as a boss monster from base game>gain like 30 lvls in an hour>hire my first characters pawn with full upgraded ng+ gear>all of her shit is pathetic compared to dlc gearStarting this dlc at lvl 80 would have still been a decent challenge (normal mode) I can't imagine how fucked up hard mode would be at lvl 40
>>749507436>oblivion did it perfectlyNot sure if bait or retarded
>>749510136Difficulty drops off a cliff once you start getting some decent DLC gear, the game straight up tells you to go out and look for loot right away to make it easier
>>749510136I mean, I was lvl 60 on NG+ hardSo I had full enhanced endgame gear
>someone finally didn't equip their pawn with Heavenly Arrow and gave them nocuous shotFINALLY someone with two braincells
Pawn roids are so good for the dlc content.
Apparently this helmet exists in the Precipitous Catacombs lost rites dungeon. But I can't find it anywhere. Anyone found this thing yet?

>>749510562End/Postgame :)
Just made it to ||locade castle|| how much longer left? is there any neat post game to the DLC that's worth doing?
>>749510601Ah fuck. Thanks anon.
>>749510602a lot unlocks after the story. theres an entire endgame system and new monsters
>>749510136late level 70 when I entered DLC. Hard mode. Took my sweet time exploring the area around the encampment and most of southern area. Powered up significantly, but I can still get overwhelmed by the enemies if I'm not careful. I'm glad I did hard mode, normal would be piss easy.
>>749507361>>749507436Level Scaling is garbage and wouldn't even fix this. The issue with the DLC is it operates on a completely different playing field, similar to G rank in Monster Hunter.
>fighter pawn won't fucking stop climbing shit>yeti thing says 'fuck this shit' and yeets itself off a cliff with my pawn on itthat's what you get, fucking stop climbing shit, I even changed it to calm
so how is itwould you recommend playing it if you enjoyed DA1?man I miss the oppressive BBI atmosphere, the whole ass base game was worth just to play through it and shit bricks at all the bullshit the game throws at you
>>749510869my theif pawn has been climbing things and keeps trying to boost me up instead of attacking really annoying

The blackhound is a pretty cool fight, i just wish it didn't shit on the pawn ai so much.
Is the DLC good? And are there any changes to the base game? Actually loved DD2, but I just had the one file in the unmoored world and think I might like restarting on a fresh save, but the base game was kind of a slog.
>>749511036>go on 4chan>make up shit>don't know you don't get transmog until the end of the DLC>get laughed at for being a faggottook like 2 seconds of effort
>>749511148read my post one more time but a little more carefully. i know you struggled in school but theres no deadlines here anon
>>749508171Don't leave a negative review. This is something that's out of the developer's control because it's an issue with AMD. If you need to refund then do so but it would be better if you just waited for a patch or AMD driver update. But again, don't leave a negative review because the game is actually great and I've been having a blast with it so far (60 hours in) and you shouldn't blame the devs for something AMD did.
>>749511261retard

Okay so from a lore perspective, the Abyss and the "ruin" that comes from it is the "Oblivion" that the Pathfinder states always destroys the world without the Arisen cycle right? It's never explained what the Oblivion is or why the cycle prevents it.
>>749508689like the other anon said use the compass it shows you the entrance. that dungeon is fucked btw.
>>749508643No, because I play fighter and my pawn is an thief.

>>749511438My guess is that you didn't complete one of the missions fully. Maybe you are missing one target for monster culling?
been playing thief and warrior, swapping back and forth. I think thief is still stronger, but the gap is much lower and warrior staggers more.I shall probably stick with warrior
>>749511547>BTFO retard had to go look for a mod to do what he claimed to be doingHAHAHAHAHA
>>749511564nah this is my quest list. im level 22 so i figure i was going to go try the dungeons out though
>>749511576I disagree, I think Warrior is both better and more enjoyable now. I had an easier time against every new boss with Warrior. Thief's new skills are very lame too.
>>749511629buffed powder charge on a weapon is disgusting as fuck, nerfed god mode is still god mode (especially since you can buy those op stam and hp items from the blacksmith every day, I have like 200 full stam ones atm)But I too am enjoying warrior more so that's enough for me

Zesty fisticuffs
>>749509147You could always chug a potion before you got the wakestone pop up.>>749510136Level barely matters, the early gear drops you get in Norgen are better than the best in slot main game gear after its been fully upgraded and dragonforged.
I like the dragonforged cum swirls.
>>749511798Level matters for stamina. You need to sprint a lot during some of the fights.

>Never used that parry move for greatsword ever.>Get upgraded version from a weapon at the start of the DLC.>"Fine let's try it out.">Mfwsome of these devs worked on monhun sunbreak...
>>749511504It’s because the world is fictional, it’s part of a story. Nobody would read a story with no conflict, so there always has to be a dragon and a hero to slay it. So when you defeat the dragon in such a way that it’s utterly destroyed the Watcher loses interest and the world is unwritten as the need for a conflict consumes it. In the end the Pathfinder willingly takes on the role of a dragon greater than the cycle dragon and in doing so the need for a conflict is fulfilled and the world is free to exist without one. Like Jesus.
Is Mystic Spearhand good? I haven't started playing yet and I assume there are no bad vocations per se but Mystic Spearhand speaks to me so I must know if it's worth becoming
>>749512408It's okay but the devs went full gimmick in the DLC instead of giving it more power like Fighter and Warrior.
>levels make a huge difference>levels dont matter at all.judge for yourself.
>>749509720The upgraded counter is basically unbridled tard rage and I fucking love it.
>>749512408it has the best skill by far for survival, lategame
>>749512483does the level itself add a multiplier like shitty videogames do sneakily?
>>749512483I've turned exp off at level 60 as I think it's a good sweetspot for getting my pawn hired.
>>749512408It's mostly a utility class instead of a straight damage dealer, go for it if you're okay with mostly supporting your team while also dealing some damage on the side.
>>749512483really isnt that big of a deal. Past 60 it barely increases
>>749511795Ooh, post your zesty sliders
>>749507806I'm in. Let me get skills and items.
>>749512591>500 hp from level 60 to 200 barely mattershard disagree.
I didn't even realize the dlc came out until I saw this thread. How is it? I got to roughly level 50 in the base game then decided to give it a break until the dlc arrived, so I should hopefully already be prepared.
>>749512453>>749512508>>749512562Sweet, thanks for the info anons
Yup, this DLC is kino.Fight is a bit meh but the visuals are sexy

The gear there STARTS at roughly the same strength as forged endgame gear. They added a function that lets you restart your file progress-wise from any point whilre retaining all your gear/levels.This DLC is a funny one because it doesn't really fix many of the base game's issues outside of adding some (sorely needed) actually interesting dungeons to the overworld. But the DLC region is like a whole other tier of quality above any of the base game regions, it's crazy.>really fucking dense, caves every 5 feet, ledges to climb and verticality too>comfy-ass snow aesthetic>story is more focused>RNG loot is a mixed bag but does give you more of a reason to explore and gather shit beyond exploring for exploration's sake
>>7495073612 years later and this fucking game is still crashing my gpu on linux. It takes 2-3 hours now instead of 30 minutes which is nice but its still pissing me off.
Can I actually make my toon this thicc in the game
>>749512969>The amount of times giant enemies have fallen into the water with my pawn attached in this DLC is ridiculous honestly.it just fucking happened againSTOP CLIMBING YOU FUCKING FIGHTER SHIT
>>749512967Anything that "can be upgraded". Meaning weapons, but not capes.Also the quest to gain access to the feature happens quite late in the DLC.
I've always seen discussion about the melee classes with some thief but how is magic? I had fun being the nuke mage with the tornado and meteors
>grabs you
>>749513091Pretty much like DD1 but there's a button to use stamina to speed up spellcasting.
>>749508689You need to find the "Dead-End Curve" cave that's inside the Misty Marshes.
>>749513073any tips for dealing with these giants? they are so big so its really hard to consistently hit their face while you're on the ground
>>749513091good but boring, you'll be casting flare + mage buff machinegun and grand salamander and that's basically it, maybe grand seisim and that aoe heal sometimesmeister skills cause massive aggro now so unless you're running both cast time rings forget it

>>749513073Lure them away from the water, brainlet
>>749513183I guess depending on your vocationas a mystic spearhand all I have to do is wait until it bends over, then aim my cannon at the tusks
>>749513183when I'm thief I climb and stab, the upgraded bomb that blows up multiple times is also fucking retarded and can take out a tusk in one go if you have the warrior skill that breaks shieldsWhen I am warrior I spam heavenward because it's easy and it does a lot of damage
>>749513091>how is magicit's good. spamming frigor for most of the game though.>I had fun being the nuke mage with the tornado and meteorsboy do I have good news for you.
>>749513310the conversation was about them running off and killing themselves, much like you should do for not being able to read above a 2nd grade level, dipshit
>>749513073I really hate fighting those big ass Yetis. Half the fight they just leap away and around edges and refuse to do anything but retreat.
>>749513183If they have weapons embedded into them you can climb on them and pull out the swords for like 80% of a health bar each (and also free relics). That helps speed things along.
>>749513317>When I am warrior I spam heavenward because it's easy and it does a lot of damageThat skill gets slept on for some reason. It hits multiple times on the ascent and does more damage than most other warrior moves.

dawg go home

>>749513657fighter and warrior are both extremely fun in the DLCI did some archer too- spiral shot is busted and it's probably the strongest vocation if you like controller aiming or use kb/m. I like controller for action games so I didn't stick around on it for long, just was trying out some level 3 weapons
