play her game
>>730667883Are there any omorashi scenes in the game?
>>730667883I did. I hate everdark sovereign Gladius. It’s fucking bullshit.
>>730667883I DON'T WANNA ×:(
>>730667883i did, i didn't like the meme "hardcore" versions of bossestaking 30+ minutes to get to the boss, simply to try and get timings down for their gay explosions and other shit makes it unreasonably unfunalso tons of weapons are useless and most of the time when i'm fighting these dickbags they don't even have the decency to put the element they are weak to on the fucking map
>>730667883show me her feet
I do. Its ironically one of the best souls games in a very long time since Elden Ring is unreplayable. It reminds me of making invader builds back in the DS1 days where it only took an hourish to do most of your character Duskbloods is guaranteed to be GOTY if this is the "experiment" game for them to iron out the shitty stuff like Relics
>>730667883D5 randos make me want to burn orphans alive
I got 11 hours in and I can't beat the cerberus. The refund window being only 2 hours is bullshit.
>>730668156yeah the fact that the game isn't actually randomized but they'll still refuse to put weakness elements in some of them is kind of retarded and i wish they were only 30 min raids, they're basically 45 minutes at the minimum. >>730668508I'm stuck in D4, at this point I don't think I really care anymore about getting to 5. Its only fun in like D3 and then half the characters feel unviable >>730668524That's 2 runs worth where you could have decided that. And they had free network tests. Although Im guessing the only people still fighting Cerb and complete noobs since everyone else moved on
>>730668508D5 randos are either cheaters or people who can hold their own, maybe you're the problem tbqh fampai
Dreglord and Fulghor are the best souls bosses
>>730668749>Stuck in D4Take the queue dodge pill. There is way too much variance in boss difficulty to seriously consider it a feat of skill to reach depth 5. The ranking system is fucking broken. Not getting a bonus or forgiveness in points for an everdark sovereign is a fucking joke when the these variants are considerably harder than the original by a wide margin. Every game boils down to>Queue and get balancers>Normal and win >200 points>ED Balancers and get crushed by Aldrich 2.0>400 points
>>730667883Already did. Not coming back until they add SOTE weapons, spells, consumables and talismans.
Wish it was live service or a true roguelite. I love the game but I've seen it all unfortunately. I'll keep queueing for all bosses with no shifting earth to help noobs until queue times become unreasonable.
>>730668524Gladius is a pretty mean choice for the mandatory first boss especialy if you only play solo like me. What character are you using? Wylder or Raider are your best melee bet. Ironeye is the best if you don't mind feeling like a cheater. Recluse can melt bosses, but I wouldn't recommend her until you get more game knowledge.Don't fall for the trap of making your attack numbers big. Look for weapons that increase damage negation. Damage negation of the same type with the same % don't stack, but any other combination stacks.
>>730668524>>730669539its mostly strategy, and unfortunately the strategy for the fight is literally running the fuck away when he splits and just waiting it outits way to dangerous to try and engage any of the 3 dogs while he's split because he's liable to just literally one tap youother than that, maybe routing is bad on the first two days. try and get a guaranteed upgrade shard from one of the mines, and to level 6+ as fast as you can and get to the castle in the middle. if you dont hit the castle by day 1, then absolutely go on day 2. that should set you up with money and drops, especially if its not the troll castle, if it is then ur fucked and the game decided to fuck you overstill winnable, just ass
I've played the game for 50 hours and I've started doing DoN runs. Why are the DoN players so retarded?
>>730670073the absolute vast majority of randoms are retarded, this extends to don
>>730669760I don't know why people hate Troll castle. Each Troll has a guaranteed minor passive to gain. If you go from north wall and follow the wall down, you can avoid the crossfire until the last two Trolls. I think there is a way to avoid the crossfire there, too, but I usually just play a bit safer there and move every so often.
>>730670073All the good players are in Depth 5 by now so you're stuck with the shitters at lower ranks>>730670224The red eyed crucible knights and banished knights also drop dormant powers without being aids to deal with
>>730670224>Trolls throw instakill pots with sniper level accuracy and aggro randomly >Bell nigger in the basement>Bird nigger on the roofThe castle can kill runs with bad rng and some times the juice just isn’t worth the squeeze.
>>730670224these reasons>>730670354>>730670523also trolls drop significantly less souls than something like the crucible knights, and the passives dont make up for the extra missed levels
Game is shit, only took one week to 100%, it's very repetitive and half the roster is garbage tier, and what even is even the point in doing DON? Just for the challange when i'm a from drone? I was very disappointed this game doesn't has a single thing i liked from the normal ER besides the reused assets. I guess it's good if you like rng inside rng inside rng inside rng.
>>730670073FWIW you're also one of the retarded players cause you can't know every boss in 50 hours. One of the big issues with DoN though is that you can't lose points in depth 1, making depth 2 the bottom. Every single drooling retard is bare minimum a d2 player. This leads to a lot of frustration. the other big issue with DoN is the scaling. depth 1 2 and 3 have tiny increases in damage, but then depth 4 doubles the damage of depth 3. Genuinely pants on head retarded jap shit.
>>730670224The sheer amount of souls from crucible knights can be enough to carry a run.
>>730670961>depth 4 doubles the damage of depth 3.No it doesn't
>>730669341even if they add them that will be a 2% drop chance to get any of that stuff, i swear i get the same shit every round
No. I rather play Arc Raiders the better multiplayer.
>>730670073Because they're playing a game mode where every enemy one shot kills you and are claiming it is fun or skillful.
>>730670224Because if even a single troll is a Red enemy they will one shot kill you with a pot, or you touch the fire leftovers and die instantly too.They don't need to all have sight on at least one or two other trolls, too, so you can't even fight one without having the tiny little area you have to fight the trolls in covered in fire.
>bricks your run
>>730671085Yeah you're right percentages are hard. +98% or whatever for D3 and then +200% or whatever for D4. not double but still a massive jump.
>>730671330stop trying to back off like a sissyhe's the sissy annihilator
>>730671085>>730671353It's double, actually, maybe like 2-5% off from being exactly double, but that doesn't matter since it just one hit kills you anyway.
>>730670961Yep this is the issue with DOTN. The damage jump from depth 3 to 4 is laughable. The values of depth 4 should be depth 5 and depth 4 should be in between the current depth 3 and 4 values. The jump makes it hard to adapt and the retarded ranked system fucking you in the ass with 400 point losses on ED libra puts in a yo-yo effect between depth 3 and 4. Just shit design
The game is garbage just like Elden Ring.
>>730671432That's the added percentage so it's 192% vs 283%, not double damage from 3 to 4.
>>730671434I don't see how anyone can look at the scaling for Deep of Night and go 'yeah that sure looks fun, I love turning every single encounter with every single enemy into dying in one hit'.Not with the spastic flailing attacks so many enemies have, anyway.It also makes Guardian, Raider, Revenant, Duchess, and Recluse even weaker since they get one shot even easier, Guardian and Raider especially>>730671528Yeah instead of getting one shot killed twice over you get one shot killed three times over
don is so miserable, but not in a fun way, can't really get into it
>>730671596Trust me, it isn't worth it. You can go to the elden ring general on /vg/ and see how retarded the people who think high level deep of night runs are fun are.
>>730671596I like that there's more seeds, more effects, more "rng," more relics, etc.I just de-level myself to 3 every time I climb to 4 because it stops being fun at that point and starts being gay.
I forgot this garbage existed. You fags are fucking miserable for playing this goycattleslop.
i havent played in a bit i wonder if i should come backi miss erg
I played the shit out of it on release. I also was having a hilarious time because my friend was borderline having a rage induced stroke because "I played the character wrong".

>>730671880anon, your hp, your fp, your flasks..and he isnt even half..
>>730668356Elden ring has the best replay ability of the games. You just need to be a normal person and play it once after years instead of playing it over and over like an autist.
>>730671330>mfw walking into castle basement every time
Sex with revenant or sex with recluse?
>>730672078>Elden ring has the best replay ability of the gamesLOLBetween the gimped online features and the map being so fucking hyuge it's definitely the least replayable game fromsoft has ever made. It was a pretty amazing spectacle game to go through once. Almost nobody played it twice.
>>730669124I don’t think this is good advice. When I started dodging due to getting sick of ED balancers I started losing way more games presumably due to being stuck in the low prio dipshit queue. It is a thing that exists that warning isn’t a total meme. Haven’t been close to my 7900 highest since and have dropped back into d4 a few times. I do agree the point system is complete garbage, to sweat your balls off against ED libra or balancers and get the same +200 that ez mode dogshit adel or fulghor gives you. Even worse is a loss to day 1 balancers the twin demons or curse blade, which isn’t free by any means, is a -800 at high depths. Shit is retarded as fuck.
>>730672265One order of dollpussy please.
Playing gacha or any multiplayer out there is better than playing this piece of shit. No. This shit lost to Arc Raiders so triple no, Fromshill. The "waifus" nor gameplay meme aren't even that impressive either to come back to.
>>730671587Dude, you don’t play DoN. You are insanely retarded. Duchess is insanely top tier, revenant is extremely good now too with current builds. Raider, guardian, recluse, yeah but you completely expose how ignorant you are by including arguably the best character in the game
>>730672508Duchess isn't good, she just has a good skill.Ironeye is the best character in the game.
>>730672283It's perfectly replayable if you're not an autist who thinks he needs to comb through every corner of the map every playthroughI played up to NG+5 to get all the endings when it first came out
>>730672283>ESL Of course
>>730672545You do not play depths. You are retarded. Ironeye is not even top 3 anymore, though he was #1 pre DoN.
>>730672647I do, and Ironeye is still one of the best. Him and Wylder.Depths sucks ass so yeah, you are correct, I don't play it as often now because getting one hit killed by everything isn't fun.
>>730671781>>730672468>Indian filename>incoherent seething dogshit Every time
>>730672709You are an irrelevant shitter if you do not play DoN. The fact you can’t climb means you’re truly bad too, since ironeye is the easiest character to get carried on (and as a result has the least skilled players in D5)
>>730672427
>>730672709You are aware you don’t actually get one hit by everything right? Even a red golem at a church level 2 doesn’t one shot a base HP wylder, and he still has sixth sense
Indians made these games.
>>730672335Fair but I’ll take my chances with idiots against Adel vs decent people against Mohg (who can very reasonably murder runs on his own and then the balancers who are a dice roll between arduous gank fest and AOE instant kill spam and drowning in gurgling crazy angelic thralls.
>>730667883No B Team.I still want yet another Soulsborne rollparryslop and I am not joking. Not whatever this is trying. I don't wanna "hop in and do a quick run" I want a full game.
>>730672885The vast majority of strong/elite enemies, red anything, and bosses, all can one hit kill anyone that isn't Wydler, Guardian, or Raider with a bit of negation, and even then they will be pretty likely to get one hit killed.
>>730672890I don't like how you have a 30% chance to encounter Balancers or Dreglord at all levels of DoN, which basically means a 30% chance to have an unnecessarily difficult run compared to anything else besides maybe Everdark Fulgor, Caligo, or Libra.
>>730672890While I agree, the problem is the low prio queue has shit like >insanely laggy chink who fucking desyncs the map and despawns the fucking enemies so you can’t level Having this happen for a -800 is insane. The main reason to dodge honestly is to avoid the tedium of fighting only fucking balancers
>>730672887Based Indians making the best games. Americans could learn from them.
my friends have stopped playing with me
>>730673140What's wrong, you don't like having to fight Mohg 30% of the time, who is harder than almost every base game Nightlord and arguably harder than some of the Everdark ones too?
>dog raid>constant chip damage and forces the team to split to tackle them effectively>balancers raid>team forced to split and either clear the boss of the PoI or try to regroup then come back later>dragon raid>lol get the shitter to hit the dragon 5 times then get back to what you are doing
>>730673090Yep with no point bonus or forgiveness. Just plain fucked. I just cannot get how the green light it
>>730673029Again, that’s just not really true. Negations exist. Revenant ult makes it it so you cannot die. Guardian hold ult makes it so cannot take damage. Executor ultimate is a panic full heal (though some times you will insta die after, buff his ult). Duchess ult has an aggro drop. Ironeye has multiple charges of his skill which has 17 i frames.
>>730673191I like fighting mohg, genuinely. I don’t die to mohg. Artorias is harder but I like fighting him too. If anything the curse blade beast warrior duo and demon prince is harder. >>730673140Dreglord is insanely easy I don’t know why people give him this false status of being hard. He has no surprise gotcha moves
A demon incites a queue dodge
>>730673581>libra is up>teammates reach for characters with the most annoying summons
>>730673285The dog raid should be skipped 19/20 times
>>730673749>wylder is the best for immediately ultra-fucking all invaders as they're summoned with his ult>get the greatbow wylder summon that's constantly harassing you with arrow rains
>>730672647>Ironeye is not even top 3he has an ult for a basic ability. You're retarded.
>>730673580mohg depends entirely on whether people know to kill the fucking spears through the arena or not imohis actual melee isn't hard to keep up with, his bleed procs and NIHILLLLLL spears are
>>730673949You don’t play DoN5. His best use is yet another halo bot.
>>730673285>>730673869The dog raid would be better if it didn't spawn dogs behind you constantly that breathe out massive AOE ground fires that do absurd damage, when you already need to split up to kill Tricephalos.The buff isn't even particularly great, and they don't drop anything besides runes.The caligo raid is obnoxious since it basically is just 'hope you have enough flasks to tank this until someone gets to Caligo and hits her 5 times.'>>730673949Yeah he's talking like someone from the Nightrein general so he's probably retarded. Ironeye is still arguably the best character in the game. Free item discovery, two absurd skills.>>730673580Mohg sucks ass to fight as Guardian and Raider especially.
Play her game.
>>730673949One fire pot from a scholar does all the extra damage mark gives you over its entire duration and pop in an instant then the duchess restages it and the entire linked camp dies
>>730674049mohg sucks in DoN because he throws his aids blood all over the arena and just getting clipped by it drains half your health or kills your damage negation.

>>730672561>It's perfectly replayable if you're not an autist who thinks he needs to comb through every corner of the map every playthroughI liked doing that in previous games but its no good in ER, simple as
>>730669341this tbqh
>>730674229fire pots for scholar are a finite resource and he needs to specifically build around pots to make them worthwhile outside of level 3 bagcraft
>>730674321you clearly haven't played with a pot damage stack scholar. the only thing keeping you from seeing it more is the gacha.
>>730674321>you need le buildYeah and in order for insane ash of war damage you run double balancers, for casters you’ll run spell school bonuses, fist wylder/UT need dormant fist, this is moot
>>730674447anon-doko...
>>730674093>Ironeye is still arguably the best character in the gameNo, he’s not.
No, it's very boring after you kill every boss once and her summons SUCK.
>>730674079Theoretically everyone is a halo bot. What do they bring besides the halo?ironeye brings damage amp, fat max HP % on pop, and an entire ult's worth of stagger every time the mark pops. There's a reason he's on every single team in DoN.Staggerfucking is the meta and ironeye is the best facilitator of it.
OFFICIAL DEPTH 5 TIER LISTS>pot scholar, skill spam duchess with reaper discovery, skill spam wylderA>crystalian duchess, fist undertaker, fist wylderB>crystalian recluse, poison ironeye, double balancers successive attacks boost executor, beast claw revenantC>buffs scholarD>raiderG>deadweight bird
>>730674906>G>>deadweight birdKYS, and I know ur a revenant tranny because of how she isnt in G instead
Do people give this much shit over this literal nothing burger?
>>730674906Why do people rate scholar so high? I’ve tried running pots with 4+ pot damage relics and it’s a 350 or so per pot. It’s nice damage but bosses don’t get staggered by it in my experience then we get slapped. I don’t think I’ve had a good run with a scholar in it. I want to like him too
>>730674712>There's a reason he's on every single team in DoN.No, he’s not >stagger fuckeryIroneye contributes laughably less stagger than beast claw rev, who starts the game with no joke about 10x his base damage. Using the same example, her ultimate lets people halo fag for with impunity for 15 seconds. +1 ult on charge keeps it up up and makes killing red enemies far easier and safer than ironeye doing classic hold aggro and kite strates. Why revenant specifically? Because she’s about the same tier as ironeye now, high tier but outside of the top 3
>>730675167It only works in depths anon with deep relic, they do like 2k damage. It’s actually highly retarded. Since he can go off and solo the entire fucking castle level 2
>>730675167because max pot damage stack is broken.
>>730672265Futa revenant fucking recluse is the canon scenario
>>730675295>>730675309I was trying him in deep of the night. How many pot damage buffs do you need? All 6 with fire damage +2 isn’t something I’m getting from gacha
>>730674906This is a pretty good list
the issue with birdfags is that they play him, constantly drag teams, but they don't go down as much and pick up people with their ults, so there's this positive feedback loop of thinking they're not the problem when they absolutely are.
>>730676162they're also guard-counter machines, which obviously falls off in later depths but is insanely helpful before that point
>>730676162>t, Revnant tranny
>>730676243Deep of Night is just badly designed and clearly intended to be played with Wylder + Ironeye + not Guardian/Rev/Raider
>>730676320Again why are you parroting d0 shit ironeye is solid but not that ideal
>>730676162There’s a survivorship fallacy for sure, in general the following situation of >long fight over 6 minutes >both team mates have 2 or 3 bars >one guy one bars and loses Sometimes it’s legitimately on the 2/3 that dies early, emphasis on early, but in a long fight if a nigga has one bar that usually means they were dicking around, not having aggro, and doing zero fucking damage. Which is what you see with guardians. As a wylder is zip lining to the boss they slowly waddle behind their shield and do nothing all fight but woah I raised a 3 bar that only happened because I made the fight take twice as long as it should
>>730676698Cringe retard. Try Tongue But hole waifufag
>>730676758Average guardian player that doesn’t realize he’s the problem.
>>730667883I am rn, its funny how I just found a game and somebody picked beard and the other guy insta left on the character pick screen.
I wish bird was better because he's really fun to play
>>730676978>beardI meant bird my bad.>>730677017Yeah his character design is pretty cool aswell. When I play him I put quickstep on the halberd and ditch the shield.
>>730677050>quickstep + ditch the shieldBut your guard counters.... That sounds fun though maybe I'll try it out
>>730672265glowing blue doll pussy.....
>playing with friends>beat all bosses>beat Dreglord>beat ED Balancers>beat all EDs but Libra>have died to him like 15 times nowI want to play a different game now. They will not stop dying making me fight 3 clones and the boss alone every single time
>>730667883I like the idea of Nightreign. But I don't like how bad it feels to play with big weapons in it compared to base Elden Ring. No crouch button is unforgivable since it was the best gameplay addition that ER brought up. It's fun to play with Ironeye though since bows always felt like ass in all Souls games.
>>730677101It is this is my build which is definitly not optimal but its fun when you get double halberd.
>>730669341I got SOTE recently but I have to start over since I lost my save, what's a fun build to play if I want to focus on using the stuff that it's on the DLC?
>>730677313Yeah, slower weapons feel atrocious in Nightrein since all the bosses are sped up even more, and have even more poise/posture than usual.
>>730677595>>730677313colossal are kino and are god tier on everyone but raider because of his stupid fucking gay 'unique' moveset

>>730674093I love having a Guardian vs Mohg because their ult means we can completely ignore NIHL.

>>730675848>fist undertakerYes>>730675848YES
>>730667883I did but I keep getting raped by Mohg. I swear I still die even when not standing near his spears

>>73067228342k players still all this time later Your cope? DELICIOUS
I sank hundreds of hours into souls/ER co-op over the years, but I was completely uninterested in Nightreign from the day it was announced. Why is this?
>>730681180Prejudice against games made to be multiplayer, I suppose.You'd have a riot of a time with it, I guarantee it. It's far better composed than the Souls' co-op systems.
>>730669341I don't care about SOTE weapons, I just want to see more returning DS bosses + ED heolstor
>>730681345I feel like there's really no excuse not to re-use every enemy and item that is at least in Elden Ring and its DLC.
>>730681345>don't care about SOTE weapons>light greatswords, another couple of twinblades directed at STR/FAI, great katanas, beast claws, backhand blades, throwing weapons, thrusting shields, dryleaf arts, perfume bottles
>>730675848She has no ass. Fan artists are always lying.
>>730681836she does have a pretty noticeable bum compared to every other female character
>>730667883Her game fucking sucks, genuinely, ERNightreign is the worst shit from soft has ever pulled since they started making games, its the laziest most greedy and uninspired piece of shit I have ever seen from them ever
>>730673401basically none of these address the >"everything does too much damage"which is the criticismsuggesting you use revenant ult, which has like a 5 minute cd, to survive in don doesnt make any sense because you are not, and cannot use it on every encounter for the whole encounter. even negation is inconsistent because its RNG and conditionaldon is cancer, half of everdarks are cancer, the game does too much damage and is in practice a hitless run simulator
Holy fuck this is so much better than the regular boss
>>730681995Yeah, this is the main issue I have with the game, it is designed around you getting hit almost never, since one shot kills abound.
>d-don is t-t-t-t-too hardno shit retards, it's a fucking challenge mode. if you cannot rise to the challenge, stick to basic bitch mode. whiny faggots don't understand fucking different game modes.
>>730674906Claw revenant is the strongest build in the game right now.
>>730682129And it's somehow an easier fight if you just run when they transform.
>>730676698>yes the players who cannot stay alive for longer than 20 seconds must be better at the game than the literal carry with which the run lives and diesretard
>>730682637It isn't really challenging, though. Getting clipped by one inconsistent hitbox and dying instantly isn't much of a challenge.
>>730677558arc builds can use most everything and all the non arc stuff sucks
>>730682837skill issue
>>730682767Their AOE's aren't as a bad and the lack of teleporting REALLY helps. Most of my balancer deaths are one of them teleporting in and stabbing me from off camera while I'm fighting another one.
>>730683018all video games need the devil may cry>"physically unable to start an attack animation unless they are on screen in camera view"mechanicdying to some bullshit you cannot see or hear is beyond retarded
>>730667883I like that (ongoing) comic where she is in love with Wylder but he is always extremely close to Duchess which makes her go all sulk depression until the hot which tells her that they are siblings and now she feels stupid.
>>730683087Dark Souls has the opposite thing, at least in 3, where enemies sped up when not on-screen.I agree though, last time I fought the balancers I had 3 of them do their grab, two on screen and one off screen entirely.
>>730681995>which has like a 5 minute cdYou don’t play DoN, shut the fuck up. You can spam it every camp
>>730677558There's a bunch of fun weapons in the DLC even though I think they're nowhere near as fun as the unique ones that DS3 had due to all basic attack animations being the same as every other weapon in their class. The real fun is in the new weapon types they added in that DLC if you ask me, the great katanas and light greatswords, the latter especially are probably the most fun weapon type they ever added in any of their games, the way the weapon flows from heavy attacks to light attacks and jump attacks into light attacks is just amazing and feels spectacular. The reverse grip dual swords are busted too if you want something that just melts through bosses but that goes for pretty much all bleed weapons
>>730682809>literal carry A carry does damage and has aggro on the boss. Doing nothing for 6 minutes until both players die is not a “carry” you are getting carried.
>>730684548i'm sure you have tons of dps while you are dead on the floorstay coping
>>730684598Yeah, they probably literally did do more damage than you. That’s the point. It’s not hard to do zero damage and never die.
>>730684490my disappointment was immeasurable that lionheart *sort-of* got added with thrusting shields and the shield strike ash of war, but you can't pair a sword or shortsword with it for it to flow just like lionheart did and you can't have the lion's roar shield bash at the same time as shield strike
>>730685065I can only forgive them because the new weapon types were really fun. In terms of offering cool boss weapons SotE is probably one of the worst DLCs they've ever made especially in comparison to DS3, RK greatswords were cool as fuck despite being blatantly broken in PVP, Lionheart was sick, Friede's dual scythes were sick, the aquamarine dagger despite being weak as shit was still really cool too. In general they should introduce more weapons with unique R1s, that's what's missing from SoTE
Family Heads Duchess is better than gay reaper by a little bit, just time the damage yourself at a dummy. Family Heads Wylder is even better
>>730685527probably the weirdest thing was that catalyst weapons didn't really exist until SOTE with the one carian sword despite base-game alluding carians already being caster knights and using their glintstone swords as casting catalysts, hell you see loretta doing it on horseback with her halberd
>>730685825All they had to do was>Ash of War- Sorcery Catalyst>Ash of War- Sacred SealAnd have the scaling based on the weapon used. Then that makes weapons like that have a neat gimmick of having the spell cast on heavy attack, useful because you can use it with stuff like Shield Crash or just stick with Impaling Thrust, (FAR better than most people give it credit for)
>>730685825I think certain parts of ER and SotE were rushed/scrapped because they clearly needed to spend more time polishing the open world and the variety of shit you come across in it, this is why back when ER came out I said that while I do think its a fantastic game I don't think they should ever make an open world game again, it gets in the way of so many things
>>730686232iirc they did say they're never gonna do a game of elden ring's sheer size again, which is really for the best for everybody- ER has too much shit in it spread over too wide an area, SOTE was much better and more condensed and still had a mild tendency to meander
>>730668524I feel incredibly guilty about buying this game. I'm right on the edge of the refund window, but both of my runs have been ridiculously fucking fun especially the executor one versus Caligo.
>>730686326executor parries make solo runs so fucking fun
>>730686319SOTE's world design was what Elden Ring's should have been to start with, the problem was that there weren't many meaningful bosses or enemies in the world and the rewards were nothing
>>730672561The problem is flask upgrades, memory upgrades, smithing stones, looking for certain spells and talismans like a needle in a haystack.
