What does /v/ think of nightreign?
>>
it's fun
>>
The fortnite ring forcing you to speedrun sucks all the fun out of it.
>>
>>726059607
kino, dont care about depths though (havent played since a little before it was added)

It exists, I guess?
Wait, is this real or like a mockup for planned DLC?
Why does this image fit the typical game case art height/width ratio when it's not physical?

>>726059796
this isnt a dlc its a spin-off
also its getting a dlc on dec 4th

I like it, but wish it got way more content and randomization/variety.

I appreciate it as the arcadey Fromsoft game I didn't know I always wanted, because I've played all the Dark Souls games so much that I've seen every cutscene and know every story bit so the only fun I can squeeze out of the franchise is using different builds, which Nightreign does just perfectly. Pick up weapons, run from encounter to encounter, no platforming, exploring, or timewasting between them. A boss rush with slightly more steps.

It gave us Recluse so it's ok in my book

you can play solo but it's much, much harder than playing with a party. It's not like base Elden Ring, it isn't really designed to be played by one person
>>
>>726061090
If you're gonna play solo just pirate it, it's fun enough but I wouldn't pay for it
>>
>>726061174
queue up as a guardian main in depths and play the game normally.
>>
>>726061381
Solo is not that much harder unless you're playing Deep of Night
>>
I want to be and fuck other Guardian players
>>
>>726061381
actually its kinda easier, than trios especially compared to randoms
you get way more damage and health + you get two revives at the final boss for almost free
>>
>>726061090
you CAN play it solo but it's not designed around it. in some ways solo is too easy (enemies have significantly reduced HP and posture. free revives.) and in some ways solo is way harder (lots of gangbang fights)
if you're scared of people, get over it and play with people.
if you're in some thirdworld where internet is ruff, unlucky.
>>
>>726061381
they changed it to be easier solo after people complained and I never had any issues with playing solo myself

I had fun playing it for 70 Hours.
Killed like half of the Everdark Sovereigns.
But The try-hard Deep of the night mode having ranks and leveling and de-leveling those ranks has made the community more toxic so i gave up.
I will probably play the new Heroes for 10- 20 more hours and move on.
>>
>>726061871
How is the community toxic if theres no way to communicate ingame beyond pinging and emoting?

>>726062224
Okay? If they disconnect then I disconnect too. Despite the game saying it punishes people for doing this I've never seen an infraction actually imposed.

What can I say, it's shitty friendslop. It has nothing of the things I like about Souls games. And for some reason they picked the shittiest bosses out of all games they could find.
I played solo and fought the night dude as early as possible, watched the prentious lore cutscene and closed it forever.

So... people of normal intelligence that just want to enjoy the game? Why would I want to queue up with insane psychopaths?

>>726059607
I like it, haven't touched it in weeks. I'm glad Deep of Night exists but I don't really care much about it, I never really felt like the game needed to be more difficult. I want more content, not harder encounters with the same content.
>>
>>726063051
So then why talk about "the community" if your source is Reddit and you don't engage with the usual queue? Why are you such a secondary? I don't engage with Reddit, I just boot up the game and queue to Depths.
>>
I don't enjoy deep of night, are people actually liking it?
>>
>>726063321
it killed the game for weeks.
>>
>>726063321
Yes I enjoy it. You get three more relic slots and some weapons can have fun attributes, and you can get interesting modifiers like unknown nightlord.
>>
>>726063321
I like that the seeds are changed up, there's new passives, stuff can be "cursed," and that there's new relic slots/abilities.
I just climb from d3 to d4 and reset back to d3 though.

But I'm not. I'm perpetually in D3.

Yeah Nightreign we bout to get down (get down)

i dont understand why they bothered to design castles and shit and put trash enemies everywhere when the time limit means you're just gonna run past everything that isn't a boss/chest. Crater has this intricate path full of obstacles and you ignore most of them entirely. And this phase of the game is the majority of playtime, it sucks. It would have been great to have the coop boss fighting game without the 45 minute run-past-everything phase. It would have been so good just to give us fucking levels to clear.
And the roguelike mechanics barely make a difference, runs all feel the same. Get a random weapon, get a random boss, 90% of the game still feels the same each time
>>
>>726067881
>when the time limit means you're just gonna run past everything that isn't a boss/chest
hahaha
oh you sweet little everdark tourist
>>
>>726059607
>The good
Bosses are pretty fun.
Changes to the movement systems makes for a far more enjoyable game when actually interacting with the open world.
Movement options in combat are generally improved, massively helping with how fucking obnoxious Elden Ring style bosses are to chase down.
Character specific abilities open up divergent gameplay strategies and builds, a much appreciated break from the typical Souls formula's very static "divergence comes from equipment only" style of character customization.
A few of the more forgettable weapons and status effects have been buffed to be more fun to use.

>The bad
Map diversity is really weak, you'll start to notice maps repeating really quick.
There isn't really much to do after you finish the bosses off, the endless progression mode sucks and you get all the unlocks pretty quickly.

I don't regret buying it, but I'm also iffy on getting the DLC especially since it's paid content.

>>726067881
Really just depends on the situation. You should be full clearing the first PoI you get and usually the castle (if you guys are committed to it. Usually castle gets interrupted by other shit)
A lot of PoI's though, yeah, you are just clearing enemies nearby the bosses, seeing what pops out of bow racks and chests, and then moving on. Hell in ruins a lot of time we don't even both to check the hidden basement because we just have so much shit we need to get out of the way. I'd say literally just doing boss and then running only works in base game. In DoN melee's really want survival passives and enemies are low effort exp banks.
This isn't really your typical souls game where you walts up to a dungeon or something and then go "oho i shall stand back and kite this enemy with my bow and then slowly wittle it down!"
Also there are plenty of tools to blast mobs along the way. Hoarstomp, guardian whirlwind, just grappling shit with Wylder, etc
>>

so are we gonna be forced to buy the DLC if we want to keep playing the game? I cant imagine vanilla would still have a playerbase left
>>
>>726071884
Eh does anyone actually play with bow as their primary weapon? Kiting out an enemy and beating them each 1 by 1 is kind of just a classic souls tactic.
Personally for my first playthrough of each game I find it pretty comfy to have a bow in my back pocket and slowly explore/take in every dungeon and area.
>>
I'm annoyed that it doesn't get very good discounts on any legit keysale stores. That said, it may be fun, but we'll see what happens for DLC expansions and more content. Especially after what happened with the shitfuck that was Elden Ring's DLC from a story point of view and how it was a sidestory that didn't affect the main quest at all or answer any questions.

I skipped monster hunter wilds to play it, it's great, although when you start doing deep of night it largely depends on your team not being asswhipes that rage quit the instant something doesn't go their way.
>>
>>726069448
No, nightreign is a better game than elden ring, it's just missing the story and a bigger map, but everything else is an improvement on base ER.

The DLC is worth it IMO, but only if you had paid upfront at launch (deluxe), if I were you i'd pick it up at a sale.
>>
>>726061381
Solo is far easier unless you're so new to the game that you just don't know where to go without a teammate leading. You get more runes, enemies have less health, AI is less aggressive, and you get 3 guaranteed revives for the Nightlord fight, up to 5 with good RNG. Plus you don't have to deal with the headache that is your teammates trying to kill godskin duo at level 1.

The only good bosses are the new fights, the night bosses and field bosses are utter D tier trash. It's like the devs sat down and purposely hand picked the most mediocre encounters from all the games, I don't get why they did that, shit sucks

I dropped it when Deep of Night mode released. Oneshots are not fun and will never be fun.

2 nightlords, 2 nightfarers, 1 shifting earth, "AND MORE" (probably counting artorias, other soul bosses, new weapons for the new classes and everdark versions of the new bosses).

Honestly it's not MASSIVE, but it sounds good enough for the price, I think it should be double though.

I get unreasonably annoyed at people who immediately ping the closest PoI to the start camp.
Like, no shit that's where we're going. Just ping the fucking gaol if you have a key on spawn.
Besides anything off path, the route is more or less set so ping something further along the path that would indicate which path.
And if you're a caster and get something huge, ping something big we dodged so we know it's on the table and we'll route through them.
People generally ping way too often and it's mostly unnecessary.

>>726077305
I ping to tell you I'm going there wether you follow or not, I also ping several pois so we agree on one or to tell you in which sequence we should go.

>>
>>726078160
>the route is more or less set
This is funny because every game I've played everyone just wanders around. There's no set "route". If there's a camp we want to hit we'll go there, if we don't have anything to do we'll maybe head to the castle, if not we'll do other things. Pings are used to tell the others where you're going, and somewhat of a vote if there's a difference.

the worst part about night reign is realizing my coop friend is a bitch who disconnects at the slightest hiccup and I couldn't beat any bosses with him

got all achievements with randoms from /vg/ and had a blast.

No it's D3. You'd still be taking "small" hits but not this crazy small trivial to regen with post damage recovery.

>>726078392
From spawn it's generally:
camp > poi for key/invader > gaol > nearby specifics (rise/church/mine if they care but they can also go solo and catch up) > nearby boss spawns for something killable > castle > let ring decide further > try and clear efficiently in that direction
then day 2 is almost always gaol/invader/boss/shifting rush

What are you smoking lmao, solo is infinitely harder than trios, the scaling in this game is broken except for the nightlord. Normal enemies have as much HP solo than in trios, + the fact you can split aggro it's not even an argument
>>
>>726083771
I ditch the halberd for a colossal weapon on guardian the first chance I get honestly, colossal guard counters trivializes all encounters that's not the nightlord, in which case you are forced to use a halberd because nightlords never stay in the same spot for more than a second.
>>
>>726085212
>+ the fact you can split aggro
I feel the same way in that regard. Reminds me of G-rank monster hunter fights and how they become significantly easier when there is at least one additional player in the hunt. Almost night & day difference with how they play out.

Don't reward companies for experimenting, it just reduces the chances they'll make anything that you enjoyed from them previously.
>>
>>726085541
Yeah Guardian's a weird victim of his own preferred weapon type being kinda shit at his job, even with halberds also being secretly spears or greatspears in his hands. He's also a weird victim of his abilities sucking without being boosted by relics, at which point they become amazing.

I reached DoN 4, and then I stopped because whenever I random queued, I'd ALWAYS fight Adel and Fulghor. Like, if any other lord popped up, everyone else would disconnect. It was really sad.

There's no real meta, just focus on what your character does best and build around it, there are some tips like getting relics that give you frost and bleed from the get go and some niggers tried to convince everyone that the relic that boosts your attack for doing evergaols was the correct way to play, but it isn't, there's a lot of ways to get optimal attack up and it largely depends on the character you are using because relics are character specific (the mage gets shit that boost magic, the archer get to shit poison arrows + attack up for poisoned enemies and so on).

I play Birb in 5, all you have to do is change your stats and weapons so much you aren't even the same class
>Hidden Power to get Greatshields so you can atually get a good one, or hidden power for Colossal Weapons, or really anything that isn't a halberd

>With the -vig +str +dex relic you have Wylder stats, Vig is useless anyways because you get deleted if you get hit regardless, makes said Greatbow hit like a truck
>Extended duration tornado+stamina on hit, also useful for making a projectile blocking wall
That and other extreme autism to get optimal relics and hey, you can be... Still the worst class. But at least you can barely keep up.
>>
>>726087983
>He's at absolute worst a better physical attacker than these characters who aren't melee characters to begin with
the thing is, there's nothing birdjeet is good at: he's not good with melee weapons, he's not good with spells, he's the least mobile, he's not good at interrupting attacks, and in D5 everyone is getting 1 shot so his high HP means nothing. but to be fair he's not the only useless character anymore, no one wants to see a raider or a revenant in D5.

Honestly I think the relic system should just be removed entirely in favor of finding more and stronger buffs during the game.

>>726089397
>Vig is useless anyways because you get deleted if you get hit regardless
Well you need a certain amount just so that the negation passives actually fucking work and you don't NEED to stack 2-3 just to survive a hit. I see casters get slapped through full hp negation all the time but I barely get oneshot through it as wylder

Pretty boring honestly, it's like a boss rush. I hope the mobility and architecture scaling gets added in future from games instead of just going through hallways and ladders with DeS animations. Shrouded city and crater are especially fun.

technically there are (meme tier) caster respecs in DoN but he shouldn't really be touching any casting sticks unless they have weapon/self-buffs.
Also yes that's the point of Wylder. He can just pick up any weapon and be somewhat efficient at it. That's the whole fun of him. Fun ass grapple, straightforward ult, versatile melee-centric stats.
Raider has the pure STR niche, Duchess/eye/Executor have the dex and dex/arcane niches. Wylder is the quality build with respectable hp and stam

You can force the shifting earths, retard-kun.

Because all characters can do that, Wylder's niche is as a physical leaning all-rounder, and he's a better frontliner than a mage as a result

Do the people asking for completely random maps understand what they are asking for?
The reason we have any sort of consistancy is because of the static points and PoI's using the same handful of layouts.
If shit was completely random the map would have to be way smaller, it'd be a completely different game at that point
>>
>>726095440
People already complain about rolling troll castle or basement BBH. Souls players are bitches they would completely fold with any more randomization than there is now
>>
>>726095616
I don't like those two layouts because troll castle is unfun, trolls are a pain in the ass to fight and both banished knights and crucible knights leave you alone if you're not around them, trolls don't. And the basement boss guards the talisman in the center, so if it's BBH then you just have to come back later.

I don't go out into the courtyard. There's no point if it's a troll castle because there's no enemies out there anyway. But regardless of what troll you attack first there will always be at least one other throwing pots of blue fire at your ass from a distance. Attack the wrong one and TWO will throw shit at you at once. It's not fun to get sniped by something you weren't fighting or facing while trying to attack something else, and it never will be.

Banished knights and crucible knights don't do this.

I just beat the game for the first time but didn't realize that to complete the Recluse remembrance quest you had to do it in the area BEFORE the end credits roll. How the FUCK was anyone supposed to figure this out
>>
>>726096048
No there are multiple ways to do them without having to worry about being in line of sight of pots
Go out the back, turn right and do the NW troll. The NE troll won't be looking at you the entire time. You can literally just walk under and up the bridge and hop up the intended way and you won't aggro the second guy
after that do the NE troll, and stand behind the gallows. The SE troll pots will be blocked by the gallows. After that you can run back and through the hallway and do the SW troll and the SE troll should be de-aggro'd. If its not then I mean you have 3 people one person just needs to go wack it and pull it.
You can also go left out the back and do the SW troll first and as long as you take the stairs and hug the right wall the SE one won't aggro. Then you just run inside and do the NW and NE trolls
>>
>>726096606
>Go out the back, turn right and do the NW troll. The NE troll won't be looking at you the entire time.
The NE troll always throws pots at me when I attack the NW troll, from any angle. If I attack the NE troll the NW and SE trolls attack me. This isn't about them throwing pots at me when I'm just running around, but when I'm actually fighting.

It's just not fun.

its your game do what you want. I think if you don't want to learn it then don't bother playing. everything is perfectly crafted to the exact pacing the developers want. its pretty much a perfect game.
>>
I'll admit that I thought this game was going to be pure slop, but I ended up enjoying it a lot, more than Elden Ring even. in previous souls games and Elden Ring, your character is a worthless piece of shit that can only roll and poke the bosses in the knees like a cuck, but Nightreign characters are actually allowed to do cool shit like using a grapple hook to jump across the arena to blast the boss in the face with a stake driver.

it's going to be tough going back to being yet another worthless not-Chosen Undead guy again in the next Miyazaki RPG.
>>
>>726100137
Well the next Miyazaki RPG is Duskbloods, which seemingly is similar to Nightreign.
>>
>>726100216
Duskbloods is going to be a extraction game, not very much like a traditional souls game where you can level up and build your character, etc.
>>
>>726100216
Fuck Miyazaki. I only fuck with ishizaki now

>>726059607
I thought it was going to be dumb but fun, and then I played it after some friends bought it and it was dumb and fun. I like it more than I thought I would. Like >>726100137 said, it's the natural follow up to Elden Ring, where the enemies had anime bullshit, so the player can do more anime bullshit in return.
My favorite character is Executor but I think Suncatcher's implementation is a little off. Surely he wouldn't be ridiculously overpowered if you just gave him the Sekiro parry on all his weapons, so you don't have to re-apply your Seppuku or poison/frost buff every time you want to parry something.

Had fun with it solo but burnt out of it just after the 1st set of everdarks wrapped up(so like 100+ hours). Early days of figuring out routing and how to beat the bosses in particular was really fun, doubly so since I deliberately chose not to be a caster like I normally do(funnily enough I find it harder to play rev and recluse than executor/guardian) so I forced myself to re-learn everything. While I did enjoy the ways they tried to make each character unique what ended up letting the game down was variety. Map was cool the first couple of times but I wish there was at least a 2nd or 3rd main map rather than just shifting earth variants and I also wish that after beating heolstor they let you open up the boss pool against all nightlords.

Will come back for the DLC dudes and I'm also considering doing solo depths at some point although at my low skill level I worry I'm just gonna start eating dirt again with how much people hype it up as a one-shot mode

Souls gameplay doesn't go with a "roguelite" structure at all
The meta progression that you usually find in roguelites is fucking pitiful here
The Fortnite circle closing down on you at mach speed is frustrating and infuriating, you don't have time to enjoy anything in the game
In nearly all roguelites time limits are optional, like in Isaac where finishing a run under 20 minutes means you get a shot at a boss rush
Aside from that you are free to exploit the maps to get the most out of it for your build in those games
Being forced to do a 40 minutes runback to only get ONE shot at a Nightlord boss is fucking boring and aggravating (a shame because the bosses look kinda cool)
Souls gameplay is at its best when you are free to fuck around at your own pace, as fast or slow as you want
Meanwhile in Nightreign you are forced to become a speedrunner tranny
The only argument Shitreign cock munchers have for their precious game is "look how fast le gameplay is!! xD"
But then if I want a fast Souls I can just replay fucking Sekiro
