I suspect that Martin didn't actually contribute much in the final game, outside of names. We have never actually seen a draft that he provided to From, and considering how copy pasting assets into some sort of product is From's M.O., it's probably unrecognizable to Martin's work.
His name was just for marketing value and nothing more.

Its a shame so many of the incantations and spells aren't that great for pvp or pve.
A few of them are, obviously, but some are just let downs.

I'm trying to do an 80 int mage against Radahn. Throughout the dlc I was using spirit ashes since I mostly played a frail mage but Radahn I wanted to try to do it without a spirit summon.

Any suggestions on what spells to bring? So far I've been using comet, Flintstone nails, and glintstone blade trio but that it since everything else is too slow or not enough damage? Heard night comet is good when I duel weild the staves but don't know what else might be good?
Also suggestions on how to handle the 2nd phase since he gains way more aggression and it's kinda difficult to dodge all his attacks when he does his consort lightshow.

Tired mom Marika... Hair still golden blonde, but duller than it was during her youth. Her eyes still carry a subtle faded glow. Her Empyrean body has aged better than any mortal's, but the signs are there. The crinkles at the edges of her eyes. The slight sag in her breasts. She takes care of herself, but no routine can keep her nipples from turning chewed and brown after so many births. She finds the time to shave her armpits still but no longer bothers with her crotch. There's a bit of flabbiness to her upper arms that all the years of swinging a hammer hasn't been able to hold back. A small pouch of fat before her tummy. Her hips are still wide and her ass is still divine, but it's not as tight and bouncy as it once was. There's an additional thickness to her thighs.

She gets tired more easily. Sleepiness creeps up on her in the evenings instead of late at night. Lots of paperwork needs delegating to subordinates instead of being handled personally, thanks to her weary eyes. Enjoys slower, longer sessions in bed than the furious rutting of her youth. Wants to have her hair stroked after. In a mortified whisper, she asks to be called a good girl. Sighs and relaxes and flows into your arms like honey. Nuzzles her face against the nape of your neck.

In the darkness of the bedroom, with her eyes closed and her divine instruments stowed, one could almost believe her human.

>>485113387
i thought it was kinda hard at 60 vig. 40 will be tough. definitely pump vig and maybe give the dlc a try. you will get a lot of runes from the basic enemies before the bosses so you might find it good enough.

I use both handbrake and webm for lazys. Compress with handbrake first, then use webm for lazys. Keep duration under 10 seconds to maintain quality. As you creep to the 4chan length limit of 2 minutes staying under 4mb will get really fucking crunchy. Best you can do for longer ones I've found is getting giga autistic with handbrake compression which can take 10+ minutes of rendering time only for the output quality to be unacceptable. Or if it's acceptable and took 30 minutes to encode webm for lazys refuses it because it's h265 10bit. Aim as close to 4mb or below with what you get from handbrake before you send it through webm for lazys because shit will get crunched the fuck up if it's way too big.

Cons:
while the areas have this serpentine nature to them that makes them feel like giant dundeons in the way they connect around, they're also largely empty and there's not much to do in any of them aside from "progress" which feels worse than they did in the base game. While I know you can't add shit to every area (and shit like caves and catacombs in the base game didn't feel great), I wish there was more to do and find in the over world.
The boss's level of aggression is getting ridiculous and the flourishing and dancing they all do is making it really hard to even understand what they're doing. It's getting really annoying, specially cause the camera is not working great on any of them either
The lore is shit honestly, but I have never really cared about this stuff anyway.
Combat as a whole is starting to feel very dated, not in a good way. A lot of other games in the genre are starting to overtake souls with better combat even if they fall short on some other aspects.

Pros:
The Sekiro tear is the best addition to this game honestly. The fact that it made guard coutners good too is a nice cherry on top.
Seriously I can't stress how good Sekiro Tear is.
Have I mentioned the Sekiro tear yet?

Pros
>Excellent art direction, arguably some of FROM's best.
>Minor dungeons like catacombs, caves (gaols) and forges are more engaging to go through than base game's due to scarcity and each having its own gimmick.
>Some really great bosses in Messmer, Midra and Consort Radahn.
>Shadow Keep and Enir-Ilim are pretty good legacy dungeons.
>Open-world is much better than the base game's, pretty much forces you to explore.
>A few instances of the game encouraging use of its secondary mechanics, like stealth against the Frenzy enemies in Abyssal Woods.
>Deflecting is a game-changer.

Cons
>Some asinine bosses like Dancing Lion and Rellana.
>New item disparity, some builds are better than others. Many seemingly shoe-in items and spells not added.
>Belurat, Ensis, and Midra's Manse are all lackluster.
>Some areas like Cerulean Coast and Abyssal Woods are far too empty.
>Too many NPC bad ends.
>Convoluted narrative, even for a Souls game.
>No covenants added.
>Deflecting not a core mechanic.

Overall I give it a 7/10, not bad but not FROM's best. I want to see a smaller, more focused title with revamped combat mechanics and a little less neglecting of pvp/invading.

you don't need more than 53 arcane and 28 faith to cast all arcane incantations.
28 faith, 53 arcane gives your dragon communion seal 322 spell power which is the exact same as the erdtree seal gets at 72 faith while also allowing you to cast every faith spell in the game.
They intentionally made it like this to make arcane casters viable.

I think if you mashed all the legacy dungeons together from the DLC and maingame into a single area you'd have one of the greatest RPG's of all time.
If you want to do an open world AREA, it should be optional. Like vast farmlands and rolling hills outside the mega-city.
Perhaps there are secrets there, things to go search for, fun little puzzles or side activities, but nothing mandatory. Things to go de-stress if you've hit a roadblock.

Also, wouldn't it be even more disgusting to just run it on a str-build for the dualwield bonus, low level, with bloodflame weapon and multihit talismans?

If I want to optimize my build should I focus on spell casting or focus on the melee weapons?
Lets say I have an intelligence build, should I focus on meeting the spell requirements or the weapon requirements? I can't meet both because otherwise I have to go to level 200

Shitter Dictionary Fourth Edition:

AoE Spam: I do not wish for the boss to have an effective counter to my summons ganking him and I have not located my jump or roll button as most can be avoided as such.

Unavoidable: I personally am not able to avoid an attack through lack of ability and/or knowledge

Built around summons: I personally do not have the skill required to fight the boss solo even though they are more predictable when solo

Never stops attacking: I lack the insight to identify openings in the bosses patterns and wish to be able to run away and heal while the boss simply watches or paces around

Input read: I wish to sip on my sunny D in reach of the boss whilst they are not in recovery and be unpunished for it

Unfair: I find this boss to be challenging me and requiring me to improve and I am opposed to this

Bad design: I personally do not like the boss but will frame this as an inherent flaw of the game

i was hoping we'd learn something about the geology of the lands between in the dlc. why these giants were buried and then unearthed at some point on this tiny island, why liurnia is sinking, how the underground regions came to be, why the divine towers are covered in rocks, and why the lands between, but not so much the shadow lands, are covered in rock spires, and why there's the gravitational anomaly and raised part of the ocean in the middle. you would think whatever weird shit is going on with the land itself would have at least been passed down in legend but no one in the lands between even talks about it.

Yet the end is the same. An empty world. A handful of randoms squatting in Stormveil with no impact on anything. A senile old man and his adoptive daughter burning to death.

DLC left with me with little or no interest in replaying it. I think the inquisitor stuff is very nice visually and probably strong in pve, but I also realized there are really two (types of) builds:
> high posture damage
> low posture damage
the second one is pain compared to the first one, and everything in these categories plays too similarly. imho even ranged vs no ranged and status vs no status matter less

There are a few new composers in the base game of Elden Ring that wrote some really banger songs.
But there's also a few legacy composers that continue to double down on raw orchastra-slop. Its getting out of hand. Not every boss needs to be 30 violins breaking strings.
Godskin theme was an actual incredible song, worthy of praise. Same with the litchdragon theme and Godwyn.
Most of the others? What the fuck.

This is the problem with lorefags. They see shit like this and the Uld statues think it needs to have a name and a place of origin and an explanation for every little thing when all it really boils down to is traces of civilizations and beings so ancient that they've been almost entirely forgotten save for their ruined remains. It builds on the concept of the rise and fall of ages and Orders being cyclical. It doesn't need a fucking name.

Just finished up the DLC after getting all the achievements. Gotta say this game is probably my least favorite in From's list and its probably the first game where I have done everything and genuinely not wanted to go back for more. Bosses and enemies are absurdly annoying, with the DLC cranking it up a notch. In between the massive input delay, the input queue and the roll on release I don't think they could have made a more clunky system if they tried.

It's just a bunch of skeletons imbued by St. Trina's vaginal juices imbued together. There are different aspects related to death in this game. Like why the fuck skeletons are effected by sacred but revenants are not? At the same time revenants get damaged by healing while it does not effect against skeletons. It's the same way, just reainmated corpse affected by a different school of magic.

Renalla is still alive, but brain dead.
Sellen is still "alive" if you side with her.
Jerren is still alive if you side with him.
Jar Bain is still alive, but will MiA when you finish his questline.
Rya is still alive, but can be MiA if you choose not to give her the potion.
Tanith is still alive if you don't want that incantation, but really hungry.
Patches is still alive if you don't kill him in either of the two boss fights.
Nepheli, Haight, and Gostoc are alive.
Kale is still alive because his quest got cut.
Miriel is still alive because he has no questline at all.
Boc can stay alive if you don't give him a larva tear, but will go MiA.
Corhyn will stay alive, but will go MiA after you give him the forgetfulness potion.
I think ER actually has more NPCs surviving more than any other From game.

I agree with you though. Some bosses can be fun, but the dungeon crawling is what I enjoy the most. Hopefully the next game gives dungeons and their level design a bit more love. I want more traps and hazards, especially ones that aren't super obvious and easy to avoid.

i never was able to consistently dodge any of his flying ghost attacks. the best way i found to dodge the meteor one was just roll spam to the side but it seemed like the timing of of the first roll was pretty tight to be able to dodge all the strikes. the ghosts do almost no damage though so it was working for me. the other ghost attack that he can do raw makes no sense to me and at the end when the screen is covered by the yellow aoe and you can't see what hes doing he starts up into a random swing that almost always hits you. such cancer. never playing this game again.

I dunno. I genuinely hate rolling, getting hit by a bosses combo and being knocked down, only to roll again when I didn't press the button and being smacked in the face once more, or going in for three hits instead of two, realizing I fucked up and attempting to cancel the third hit by rolling while the second one is still priming or mid animation, and it just being outright ignored.
I ended the game on this most recent run playing "how it was meant to" via jumping over enemies attacks, breaking their poise and parrying, and while it was fun for some bosses like the crucible knights, Radagon, Midra, ect, most were genuinely just a fucking slog.
I think they should have either toned down the bosses or given the player more tools to deal with them, like a sekiro parry (Hardtear) as a base mechanic. As is currently the game is far more frustrating than fun, even when you play very meta.

Rellana is a fucking nightmare if you're using a weapon with bad charged R2s/ash and no hyperarmor. First playthrough with a piercing fang claymore was much easier.

That’s good though. All of my builds are attempting to stick to a theme and aesthetic regardless of meta viability.

ledges are your friend. off-hand gravity staff is your friend for pure spellcasting. knockdowns with gravity missile into cheeky combos are your friend. gravity missile not free-aimed at the floor is basically an area denial tool that lets you freely cast / do whatever inside of it for as long as it lasts. you absolutely want / need an L2 or weapon with decent hyper armor because people will rush you down even if you aren't casting the spells that bring them directly to you.

What's the minimum level requirement for the dlc? Basically whatever level you were at when you beat mohg? I feel like the scaling is as such that it doesn't matter if you go into the dlc at like 60 or 160, everything one shots you until you get the fragments

Most invaders are basically 1 step above Kevin tier. If I'm co-oping I'll always request a duel and if the host tries to gank I'll let him handle it alone. That being said the instant I see a cheated consumable I turn into great Talal, no mercy for cheaters.

sorcery isn't terribly useful either, it just kind of either makes the game a little dull because it's too easy or frustrating because the enemies move too fast for sorceries to hit unless they're melee sorceries

People thought this was hard? It's actually a really cool fight, despite being easy.

Why do the waterfalls in the dlc look like something out of a ps2 game

I used a summon to beat Margit

Nice. Spirit ashes are fun but some of them cost way too much mana.

>>485128674
but he doesn't do death on every attack. if anything, his death phase (it's also just a phase, lmao) is less dangerous than his lightning phase.
and what you're calling "cope" is just using the game's mechanics to deal with threats appropriately

No. They thought it was annoying because she has an undodgeable attack and some crazy reach on her sideways shuffle.

Why does this keep happening? I'm just trying to invade. REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>
>>485129672
Which one is that?

your opening post about the topic is literally you claiming you are angry

Nice try clai pan

There’s an infinite FP tear you can get later on that’ll let you summon without investment. It’ll just cost part of your physick flask.

>>485109138
a dump stat is something you don't put any points in

invading people is inappropriate behaviour for a decent human being, uninstall you fat troon

oooh I parked that boss for a bit, let me circle back and get it, cheers anon
>>485129374
I like being a lil over powered...
>>485129489
I parked 15 in FTH and some in ARC for some early weapons, should be kino then
>>485129510
I'm doing DEX with 15-20 in 3-4 other stats so I can fuck around with cool gear if I want to, but that also means I need to be a lil overpowered to compensate
I really need to look into incants and other cool stuff at some point tho
>>
>>485129767
Verify game file integrity. Twice. It helps... but fact is game is coded badly and minor hardware hiccups can trigger EAC. Just be glad it isn't handing out softbuns

Why did INT/FTH get so shafted in Elden Ring despite it being the best build in both DS2 and DS3?

Builds that rely on posture break are inherently worse than ones that don't because they're more unreliable. Boss AI RNG can potentially make you lose stance progress if the boss does something like Radahn's rock scoop where he jumps away and recovers posture or if the phase 2 resets far enough in neutral for them to fully recover posture. Posture break just looks strong in clips where everything goes right.

i like the sickle. it's a needle of eternal agony that isn't too bad.

Oh, that's hardly enough of a problem to make the rest of the fight unenjoyable.

Keep in mind that the same individual can submit multiple posts over the course of a thread, so this statistic does not necessarily represent the user demographics of /erg/, merely the makeup of its posts, rounded into fractions of ten. Similarly, the pursuit of simplication means this methodology could omit statistically insignificant numbers of posts.

That said, the next bread has been baked at >>485129924. Please check your flask charges and migrate in an orderly manner.
Thank you all for participating!

>>485130376
i don't think it matters too much, as the heavy weapons often used do more than enough damage on their own. getting a crit is just a bonus.

but you're right, if everything goes well for you, it looks amazingly easy, but if it doesn't, the fight is as long as any other (outside of bleed and frost builds).

Am I misinterpreting or does the new, fancier St. Trina sword actually do LESS sleep on hit than the one from the base game? Also, on players what is the functional difference between sleep and eternal sleep? I know it puts non-boss enemies into a permanent sleep state but I have no idea what it does to players
>>
>>485131590
eternal sleep is just a gimmick to use for mob enemies. there's little difference otherwise.
>>
do they actually fall asleep in pvp?
>>
>>485126854
Then what the shit is going wrong?
>>
>>485128596
Tbh I am kind of annoyed that I have to use them. I like that they are effective, but it genuinely feels like I am gimping myself without them.
>>
>>485130483
faggot
>>
>>485128596
i'm more annoyed that i can't see shit

Rellana's combos are dangerous enough, she doesn't need a smokescreen. and the breath attacks grab aggro so fast, the host is basically dead if she switches targets mid-combo, and most breath-spammers have like 17 vigor

Going back to your roots, I see.
>>
>>485109686
Moore's set is kinda cute. That and Solitude armor are my favorite sets. A lot of the 40 poise ones look cool too but idk why from didn't move them up to the next bracket
>>
>>485109686
Isnt Bullgoat's it's ER equivalent?
>>
>>485117798
It's designed this way to nudge you to ng+
Zaki is emotionally manipulating you to play the game again.
>>
>>485132318
In pvp you just 'lose focus' for a moment and slump over. It's essentially a stun animation like madness but without the damage proc. It's generally too short for memey combos but will typically net you a jump heavy or a quick WA.
>>
>>485127923
It's an inferior version but it's not even hard. Just call torrent and do a drive by on the frogs. Once they are gone you can continue with the fight on foot like normal.
>>
>>485130376
I played the whole game staggering enemies as often as possible because it was fun and charging a full R2 is way more satisfying than getting a couple R1 swings
>>
>>485131590
It drains more fp I think? That's about it. You can build up sleep with the old saint trina sword then get the proc with the new one to fuck with mages I guess but yeah I don't know why they thought we needed another sleepy straight sword
