how Crimson is your Desert?new patch when?
my wife
>>737363449>Not nude
Honestly I'm fine with the game as it is now. All of my launch complaints have long since been addressed and the only big remaining one was the font size that the last patch fixed too. Like if there's anything I actually WANT in future patches aside from what's been announced it's more unique mounts. A lion or tiger would be very cool. Also maybe another type of glider for Kliff, like white/golden wings instead of the black ones.
>>737363570thats for later
>>737363731i need better way to farm Abyss Artifacts and Aeserions Scales
>>737363731The control scheme needs to be easily changed.There are three essential mechanics all tied to Stick Presses which is complete insanity.
Sorry, I don't play trannycore games.
What does /v/ think of kliff?
>>737363731You're okay with the camera and lock on?
>>737365078well good since this isnt a Marathon thread
>>737365192cant you change that already?
>>>/vg/
Hoping for bandit re-spawns and take overs, upgraded storage for separate shit would also be nice.I have Pokémon collectionautism and having limited inventory space and camp sucks.
i kinda want them to make the pets system more comprehensive. i want a chao garden but in a crimson desert setting
Anyone know why vsync or SOMETHING is fucking forcing itself on Crimson Desert?Upscale/DLSS lets me uncap it, but even with everything off, and Vsync off in my settings, and shit, the fucking game is capping at 72 FPS.
And the "Worst boss fight of the year" award goes to...
>>737368026no cap? frfr?
>>737363731>All of my launch complaints have long since been addressedReally, they fixed the fact that you're forced to run RR on because the RayTracing is so broken and full of noise and shit spazzing out? (Which wasn't even entirely solved by RR either)
>>737368763You could make a list of the hundred worst boss fights of the last decade and every single boss from this game would be on the list.
Why wont these cats eat any of the meat I give them?
>>737370692Carry cat to inside of building where it can’t run off when you try to feed it, works way better
>>737370692are you in pororin village?
Just started im in the stolen quarry. Any tips on how to defeat Excavatron?I can get him to half health with arrows but he one shots me.I dont even understand how to regen health
>>737368763I hate this niggerfaggot so much
>>737372481Sword flash when he tries to go underground and punish him, if you miss it just sprint around arena until he pops back out. Use hit and run
>>737372481skip him and just farm infinite mobs in the quarry
>>737363081where the FUCK do I find that bounty guy thats looting the ruins in hernand he's not at the quest marker
ah so thats why you cannot upgrade Frostcursed Armor the regular way
>>737373206But the quest:(
>>737370692In case you're still stuck on this, this happened to me too today. Pick the cat up, put it down, then try dropping meat again. It will workIt's literally the only thing you can try how did you not immediately work it out
>>737372481upgrade your gear and kill some animals and cook some food for health regen.only do 1-2 hits and then retreat away from him until he is done with his attack and repeat.
>>737368763just wait for everything after you go to fort musket for the main quest and you will get SHIT BOSS after SHIT BOSS after SHIT BOSS, at least the kek lord is optional
>>737375597you can do it later, use the place to farm XP for Abyss Artifacts
>>737372481>>737375597You can spam food on a 1 second cooldown which instantly heals you. Get food by buying it at shops, or kill animals and skin them which gets you some meat. You can cook the meat to upgrade it so it heals for more.Also get a pickaxe and get some copper and iron ore. You can use that to level up a weapon of your choice and you can level it up 4 times before needing more exotic materialsWhen the excavatron digs into the ground, dont dodge, just run away lolthose are the only tips I can give. just get food and you should be fine but it wouldn't hurt also levelling up your weapon at least once.
I just finished Chapter 3, when does this game get good?
>>737377515If you're not having fun in the first hour just walking and gliding around it's over for you. There's no it gets good 8 hours in, that's a meme. This game is either cool to you immediately or not at all
>>737373280Hey I was wondering about this too, it seems it's tied to a specific time range of the day. Bonfire or bed to wait. I accidentally killed him and it reset the quest so careful.
Holy shit the general on /vg/ sucks. It was bad from early on too, barely anyone makes webms or edits or anything
*snorts* boy, I sure hope someone got fired for that blunder!
>>737363081I want to be able to turn off the fucking mini map so I can explore without distractions I want to be able to change the fov and third person camera distance separately I want the fucking auto exposure or whatever to not be so incredibly aggressive so it doesn't blow out nights and that one wheat field in the south west that gets auto dimmed because of how white the wheat isMake the double jump act like an actual double jump like in every other game ever made with a double jumpFix the rain so its more visible
>>737379032>I want the fucking auto exposure or whatever to not be so incredibly aggressive so it doesn't blow out nights and that one wheat field in the south west that gets auto dimmed because of how white the wheat isThere might be something wrong with your auto exposure cause that screenshot looks weirdly bright where the lights hitting, but part of it is just the ingame lighting. I lost my mind during one point in chapter 5. The sky in Hernand changes and the night becomes pitch black like an actual night and it looks perfect. Then the enemy disappears and the sky goes back to normal with the bright fucking moon again.
>>737363731I don't play controller, but for kbm, most of my complaints are gone. I'm still waiting for better stash sorting, like by item type to reduce endless list scrolling and such. I just want more content to mess around with builds, a way to upgrade to a nicer house and plot (or even in different zones) so that raiding houses to steal trinkets still has meaning. I like the bounty system, so they should get rid of those wooden cuckboxes and put in real prisons in every place city that has them. The only exceptions would be forts where wooden cuckboxes make sense. Make bounties much smarter and harder to get. Make allies smarter and more aggressive so you want to play with the trio together.
>>737379620It's and hdr thing. The whites are real bright but thats on purpose and looks fine on my tv. Thats why its so bright. But even if i turn hdr off the auto exposure is still too aggressive. I agree, once during a storm in the desert the night was incredibly dark and it was perfect. Then the storm ended and it was too bright again. It CAN be done.
>>737379032>I want to be able to change the fov and third person camera distance separatelywhat do you mean? you can, you can change FOV in settings and you can change zoom with mouse wheel>Fix the rain so its more visiblethis is an issue if you use an upscaler, turn it off>Make the double jump act like an actual double jump like in every other game ever made with a double jumpits not really a double jump in traditional sense, theres an issue with translation, for that you use force palm, jump, middle click up to 3 times to height>I want the fucking auto exposure or whatever to not be so incredibly aggressive so it doesn't blow out nights and that one wheat field in the south west that gets auto dimmed because of how white the wheat isno idea about this
>>737370692cats are famously temperamental and random, working as intended, godlike ai
>>737378563It's full of brown people pirating and playing on shitboxes, thats why. They can't make good ones.
>>737379928The three camera distances still don't get close enough to my character for my preference when I set the fov above 50, which is much to narrow for first person imo.I'm on ps5Force palm works fine and I use that, but idk what the "double jump" is supposed to be for then if we have a better more reliable one with force palm.
>>737380148>I'm on ps5stopped reading there, i dont speak with consoletards
>the neurodivergent hero the townsfolk are forced to put up withka caw!
>>737380193I'm sorry my lord. I didn't realize
>>737380779it's m'lord. not "my" lord
>All these cool armors I see people wearing and I'm still using the basic Hernandian armor on chapter 5Where the fuck do people find them jfc, I've found scattered pieces behind waterfalls but still not a single full set except for the Bleed Bandit Ringleader one.
Don't forget the usefulness of frost mantle
>>737363081I refunded cause the game just wasn't clicking with me
>>737370692Because cats eat fish. Everyone else quoting you is either a retard or a literal AI bot.
>>737381195My mistake, I thought it was safe to assume he was trying to feed them fish and not red meat. Is anon a retard-kun?
>>737380714 >wear Crows mask>Armor all black>pretend I'm Batman and use Crow wings to patrol Hernand>teleport behind Bandit>slit his throat>"heh, nothing personal, kid"I am The Crow™ Edgelord of Hernand.
Spoil me if you have to I dont care, but we dont actually have to kill him later in the game right? He just gets away forever?I felt so bad. The retards chained him up and brought him here to execute of course he was gonna go ape shit. And then he actually chooses to flee, he's intelligent
>>737381417He actually helps you later on against another boss. You don’t kill him. At least I haven’t and I’m in chapter 8.In Pailune when a certain boss enters third phase he actually comes and starts pounding his ass kek so you and the monke team up to take him down.
>>737380872No it's not
>>737381545k i n okind of mad at myself for asking now. will be the one good story moment in the game probably
>>737381730>story momentNo sadly it's not related to the main questline its a Pailune faction questline which is missable, and its also not really related to the Demeniss fags who kept him captive. Still a very cool moment regardless.
>go to Sunset village by chance, no quests, just do it>randomly walk into a house>it's littered with scarecrows that have Devil masks>the Reed Devil's mask sits at the center of the room>take it>leave village>wheat fields outside of village is now littered with scarecrows that attack you if you get too closeHoly fucking Kino.
I've just kind of been vibing on the train that goes around Delesyia and the desert. It's comfy and satisfies my train autism. Only way I could be cozier is if I could fish off the train.
>>737363731I found and upgrade Marni's laser helm to the kuku pot version before I knew there was a challenge for it. That challenge is now permanently incompletable because the kuku version doesn't count and there's only one helm in the game.
>>737381065click on deez nuts
>>737368763This was fucking easy, just use the projectile catch thing and throw everything back at him
>>737370692Non shitposting answer: if you move near a cat, you "bump" into it, making it hiss and run away.The strategy is to pick up the cat, pet it, then drop food, then drop the cat, don't move (or move backwards while holding your lantern so your character doesn't "turn" and bump into it) and then you're free to feed it more.
>>737384296Nice anon
Don't sleep on abyss gears that work with the light attack finisher. Kicks, heavy a and light attacks mostly share the same step in the combo chain so you can heavy>heavy>light to get the abyss gear effects. For spear you can cancel the first part of light into heavy so light>heavy cance>light gives you a highly stamina efficient combo with a finisher. Light attack finishers deal a lot of stagger and you can chain lights into a charges stab since lights put you into a charged state

>>737363081I hadn't played in like a week and loaded up my save and it's right before that fucking crow boss that everyone said makes the game shit the bed. Was that fixed? I'm like putting off the game to avoid what might be a severely broken fight
>>737383925You can just force palm him until he gets stunned. The game even tells you to stun him irrc
>>737370692Never had a problem with this ever. And i never use fish, just roast meat. However, i always pick them up and pet them first.
>>737363081>Years and years of MMO development with varied gameplay, countless classes and ways to play>BDO literally had one of the best character creation engines, ever>Devs decide to narrow you down to one pre-made character>There was zero reason to do so - story isn't even good or developed enough to justify it
Boss fights are such utter shit that I have zero regrets about using volcanic eruption and fire-infused charged shots
Wonder how much pa paid to let these shill threads be up 24/7 since game release when there's not even anything to talk about

Around 40 hours into this gameI notice that they could have done a lot more with questsI have this quest, this bitch asking me to go look for some meek dude and ask him to pay his tab.All this quest is, is just talk to her, head to the marker, talk to him, head to the marker back and that's it. It could be handled better if you had the option to pay yourself, or you had to persuade him or beat him up. That'd be nice. But no, it's just talking to him. Poor fella actually looked like he didn't intend to get away with it. Hey maybe I could have convinced her instead. But no, no option to do any of this.Another one of those quests involves heading to a trading post in the middle of fucking nowhere with a lot of bleed bandits around. It's this fellow just telling me that the area is too fucking dangerous and I should ask someone from the guild to do something about it. Another marker quest. I just teleport to the right place, talk to NPC, he's like "oh yeah you need to do nothing, mission complete". It's the same shit. There's not even a fetch quest here. It's just marker to marker to marker for those extra inventory slots. Half of these NPCs don't even have names. Stranger. Soldier.
In the memory fragment quest im in the top of the tower where I had to burn the vines into he entrance, and now it says to check a suspicious helm among the treasure. Any idea where it is?Scouring this tower for a good 20 min already and its got 2 ordinary helms.
is it just me or is the robot useless? you cant even fly?
>>737368026Are you still alive senpai?Reflex is bugged in this game if you are not using it together with frame generation. Just turn it off and you'll get properly uncapped fps.
>>737390545I got it. Had to hold the lantern and it focused on one of the items
>REEE LIVE SERVICE BAD>REEE WHERE'S THE FUCKING WEEKLY UPDATE FOR THIS SINGLE PLAYER GAME YOU CUNTgamers are retarded
>>737391034this game is trash and broken, a weekly patch is the absolute minimum they should be doing
>>737391197Pretty much. Modern devs get away with so much because shitskins have low standards.
>>737368763brother, wtf is that lack of detail on the buildings in the back?
>>737389783Exactly. I love those woods.
>>737391345thats "optimization". they prioritize frame stability above all else, so they make everything look extremely ugly. its like a ps1 game
>>737370692cats want milk and fishdogs want small bones
>>737386741shai body with damianes movement model sounds like a very janky experience lol
>>737391197I'm playing launch version and it's great tho

>>737387198Woods south of corn fields, woods just south of north Western logging village, cliffs and rock formations in that weird Asian temple area.
>>737382257I did that the other day. Suprising how long of a track it is. VERY gay and weird that it doesn't stop or have any passengers
The general died. This game is dead.
>>737372481when he's about to dig use blinding flash on him, works every time
>>737393267this game is a janky piece of shit and eats your inputs, it never works, you just basic attack and eat shit. same for jumping. sometimes it happens instantly, sometimes you have to wait 5 seconds before it randomly decides ok jump
>>737394256Works on my machine and I'm playing 1.00.00 before the movement casualization updates. Maybe stop spamming your inputs
>>737395148>I'm playing 1.00.00 before the movement casualization updates.why would you admit that you are either poor, 60iq, or even both?
>>737391345There's plenty detail on them but it looks like the game's lighting becomes flat in that scene so all the shadows disappeared
>>737395273>poor>low iqLmao I own the game snd you actually need high IQ to bypass the game's encryption and forced steam updates to enjoy the non casualized version of the game unironically
>>737395392i knew you could have bought it and opted for the 1.00.00 version which is why i said OR low iq, you just qualify for low iq. congratulations, retard!
when's a good time to explore? im in chapter 5
>>737395430You need to have 100 iq or higher to understand thst mashing is why inputs aren't working though? You'd need to have especially low IQ to infect your comp with HiV just to play this game. I bought the game because I'm not poor and I bought a few copies for some friends too.Don't worry, they're adding baby mode for you this week so you don't have to spend time cooking food any more.
i'm waiting for the patch that fixes the controls.
>>737395607first of all i'm not the person with any input issues. second of all i preordered the game and don't use hypervisor shit.i'm calling you a retard because you'd have to be genuinely, unironically, in all seriousness, one of the STUPIDEST motherfuckers with terminal contrarianism to choose to play this game without the great updates they've put out
>>737395707>great updatesNo they dumbed it down for the babs and messed up the lods. 1.00.00 is still the best version possibly until they add in the difficulty sliders.
>>737395845i hope for your parents sake that you get gibs from the government for your debilitating mental illness rather than being a huge burden on them
>>737363081How loose is your goose?
>>737395594soon as you get the "Rumor at the X" sidequests in chapter 5. do those right away to get more niggas at camp and then fuck off and do whatever while your dispatch missions are going
>>737363731i feel like the game would be infinitely more comfy if there was no inventory limit. i find myself constantly stressing about picking shit up because it's so easy to accidentally fill up your inventory with random bullshit. especially considering like 50+ slots are taken up by random ass key items/equipment at any given time. and from what i read a little while ago, most mods don't really affect player inventory because altering that tends to break shit.
>>737395903>Getting this distraught over a someone playing a less casualized version of the gameKWAB
>>737396184whatever helps you sleep at night you brainfried contrarian retard
I wish this game had proper ragdoll effects. It gets bugged a lot. I dont really like physics in the game and it is really offputting so I didnt even bother playing because of it. If it had physics as advanced as Zelda game or RDR2 I'd give it a go.

>>737395594Chapter 11. That's when everything unlocks so you won't find places that are empty because you aren't far enough in the story yet. Also all 3 chars will be unlocked too. If you go earlier than that you will constantly find things that are inactive, dead, or empty because you aren't supposed to be there yet. Every place is like that.
>>737396497They physics realistic to me. You're not bouncing around like in other games because Kliff isn't made of rubber. He bounces maybe once and then rolls.
>>737392068Funnily enough it works great, the only problem is that you can't equip any of Damiane's armor, but some of Kliff look okay with the mod that allows you to equip everything on anyone, I'll be doing some fashioning and see if I can make something cute
>>737396620the game is fucking enormous, what kind of person is rushing the story to chapter fucking 11 and not just exploring in chunks and mixing it up with some story in between?
KLIFF NO
>>737386741Nice another reason to use "that"

>>737397719Can you put a bucket on an NPCs head to make them blind? No? Thought so. Could you sneak in poison in an NPCs inventory so they drink it? No? Thought so.

>>737397961I saw a guy balance food on a tree log hanging off a bridge and NPCs would climb up it to get the food and then fall to their death though. And you can climb ladders.
>>737365131He's Tom MacCruise from Last Samurai. Even if PA added a character creator at some point, I doubt I'd play something different, his deadpan autism is signature with that handsome chapstick face.
>>737373280>>737378337AFAIK he spawns there between 6am and 1pm, I got him around 8 or 9 am
>>737380923The pieces for most sets are scattered across several chests, generally in the same area of the mao, but not only in waterfalls - they can be in hidden wall spaces, and sometimes a piece will be a boss fight reward. If you can't be asked to explore everything, yt is full of guides, and crimsondb.gg will have most, if not all kits listed, with stats and locations.
>>737398109damn NPCs look like THAT?
>>737382426If you're on pc, and really want to 100% the game, there's a save editor on nexus - you could swap out the kuku version back to the regular one. Alternatively, report it to the devs so they're aware of it.
>>737390570The default version is shit, I just abandoned it during the mq wasp fight and cleared the enemies with my already-op Kliff. There are some upgrades to it scattered among the research institutes, but I haven't even bothered
>>737392337I'm not a Korean, but I'm envious of some of the guys on yt who've mastered unarmed combat. The only reason I want to replay the game now is to complete it as an open world tekken/mortal kombat simulator. The combo variety is insane. https://youtu.be/e94TMewDZlg
>>737396664Tried my best
>>737399630You can do that right now, but the thing that sucks is you can't nerf your unarmed damage without neutering your armor as well.
>>737399630I started my unarmed build last night. It's simply the most fun way to play.
>>737399760
>>737399630And then you find out it's all just aura farming because bro didn't need to do all that.
120 hours and cant stop playing...
is there a mod that instantly enables photomode or disables the time slow whenever you pause? the way pausing works in this game makes photography really difficult
>Waaaah bosses are too har-https://m.youtube.com/shorts/MHpP3Fdo6DM
>>737395148Do you mean 1.00.02 or is there actually a reason to play pre-launch versions?
>>737401116Non fucked up LoDs and stronger bosses and enemies mostly.
>>737363731Why you lying? Flying Stab still sucks.
>>737400928>>Waaaah bosses are too har-who says this? the games bosses are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too easy
>>737401197Stronger bosses and enemies were only a matter of doing 3x more damage. That's literally it.
>>7374011971.00.02 is the launch day version, it's the patch after that which nerfed everything. Guessing you're probably playing on that, earlier patches would have been only for pre release review copies.
You do realize the Pearl Abyss straight up admitted that the game was just created so their devs could get experience with the engine to make that guaranteed flop pokemon rip-off? Btw, no more DLC or content update for Crimson Desert because their devs all moved to working on that turd pile.
>>737401346They nerfed enemy and boss hp by up to 75% in some cases. Before downgrading they dying too quickly to even your +0 starter sword
>>737363081pretty crimson, I have hemorrhoids
>>737401509I think part of the problem is that devs really expected players to unlock elements or at least multiple skills on the same button/weapon. But everyone was running around with no money and cucked by abyss puzzles
>>737401793heh
>>737401930And even the breakable element spears weren't easy to come by. LIke I've playing for 150 hours just now found the electric spear just standing around on some random bandit camp
>>737401930I'm on chapter 10 using random shit haven't gone out of the way to upgrade anything and the difficult is just fine. I haven't used any elements outside of ice to block shit after I fail to break the blue shield. Elements make the boss fights way too easy if anything because of the stagger damage. It feels as though the bosses were already nerfed for the journos. They better make a hard mode that's actually more difficult than base and not pull a Khazan to spare people's feelings kek
>>737402145Those are craftable, farmable even, you just have to visit one of the many research NPC that's pretty pain in the ass to reach for some reason.
>>737402271>I'm on chapter 10 using random shit haven't gone out of the way to upgrade anything and the difficult is just fine.Not even Abyss Gear slots? Food recipes and Pills?
>>737402568>Those are craftable, farmable even, you just have to visit one of the many research NPC that's pretty pain in the ass to reach for some reason.Yeah but no one was gonna do that by Kuresh chapter
>>737402570No food. I just make clear soups for sieges. You get that recipe early on and the materials are pletiful. The only gears I have on are for movement and attack speed.
>>737402607Keuresh is a bit overtuned by the time you fight him but a lot of his attacks can be avoided by just jumping up with force palm and then dive kicking. He's an IQ check
>>737402682>Keuresh is a bit overtuned by the time you fight him Players could definitely reach him a bit too quick, i know i had invested nothing on the spirit skill tree and just a few in hp+stamina+heavy attack. The movement he grabbed me i was dead.A shame I wasn't able to appreciate his second appearance, seriously thought i was about to be double teamed dark souls style
>>737402682The best way to avoid his wombo combo is to just Blinding Flash Finisher into melee the second he lands and kick his ass.Really it's the third phase that fucks. I beat him on 1.00.02 with no healing items, and on the run I won I took literally zero damage on the first two phases and was left with only a small sliver of HP at the end of the third. He did need a nerf, but the only thing they needed to nerf was how aggressive he is in that final phase.
>>737402732Fuck those barrels
>>737403005And no one(that at least avoided spoilers) was prepared for a 3rd phase. Also that knight pre-nerf really needed to be hit by those pillars, after nerf he lacks phases though
>>737403210I was just coming straight off beating the Staglord so I was totally expecting a third phase, but the rape ape was drastically more difficult which came as a real surprise. Normally you'd think the optional quest boss would be the harder one.
>suddenly, a fucking sand crawler
>>737398003Controller really needed a combat and non combat mode for the buttons, on top of maybe also letting us replace the bow keys for axiom. There's a bunch of flying enwmies that you could use it with propet precise aiming
>>737403692>these tiny hard to read, sometimes trolling, instructions in the middle of battle
>>737370185yeah? always have been.
>>737400361Too bad good things must end
>story is shit>bosses are shit>characters are shit>controls are shit >menus are shit>side quests are shits>combat is shit>puzzles are shitWhy is this game such a overhyped piece of shit?
>>737405105Cause Todd is a lazy bum
>>737405105Why do you waste your time getting upset about games you've very clearly never actually played?
>>737400206It's called having fun, zoom zoom. You don't need to do anything in this pathetic life.
>the last 3 chapters of the main quest
>yfw you find the ancient rift in the middle of the night>have to actually use the lantern for once because its so dark down there
>>737406465i liked 9 and 10 idk what crybabies say
>>737363081how does it run on low end systems? is it as optimized as skyrim so it can* run on a potato?
>>737401930I have no elements unlocked at 80 hours in. I'm stuck on one of those abyss things despite all the islands on the chain being completed. Fuck it
>>737407705Not well, I know someone with a 2060 who's complaining.
>>737407807oh, then il stick to modded fire vomiting lizard game til the AI bubble pops or some stupid shit
>>737407705Skyrim is 15 years old, retard
>>737363081>new patch whenEither tomorrow or next week
I'm good on patches, get to work on dlc I need more content, let me climb the fucking mountain to the west.
>>737380148>I'm on ps5Fuck off
>find cool piece of armor with gay colors>can't be dyedWell I guess I'm not wearing it then.
>>737408203You fuck off faggot
>>737408168It's a crime we can't climb to the peak of that mountain
>>737373797Why did these faggots make the Kuku versions impossible to dye?
finished the story @ 152 hrs
>>737407861I have a poorfag internet friend, and over the 'cord he says on RX 6600 he gets 1080p high settings ~40 fps. Drops below 30 during super ultra big war scenarios, but he says since its just musou combat its not enough to make it unplayable. Depends on your tolerance. Frametimes are pretty stable in the game, so if you're ok with low fps as long as its relatively consistent, then you should be fine. If you have a legit 1060 or something, then forget it desu.
>>737408532>gooks couldnt deliverwill you apologize?
>>737401469>pokemon rip-offDokeV? That didn't look like a palworld situation. Those designs were not derivative.>>737363081I expect the patch on FridayRight now I'm just waiting for that. I want to do another playthrough, but I'm just waiting for that.Please god let them add the raising the abyssal fox thing one day. Or finish that content for Heuklang, I'll take either
>>737409154You can't CLIMB in skyrim PERIOD.
we can all agree that the lightning puzzle is the worst ever right?
>>737409702Which one is that?
>>737409736the five lightning pillars
>>737409346https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xd8MjOwn8lU&t=683cope cardhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCrhDamN82kand all the things you zoomies praise crimson for has been done 15 years ago, and better
>>737409784>walking up a mountainTHAT'S NOT CLIMBING.
>fighting unarmed in full plate>Armor Clad Faith starts playing in my head>never even touched guilty gear
>>737409702The puzzle elements are fine, but everything is way too spaced out and vague.
>>737409893you tell me, I'm one hour into this puzzle AND STILL STUCKI lined up all the pillars to light up but the last two just doesnt register
this game is OK until you go play something else like Nioh 3, which has actual combat, actual variety, actual loot, and actual bosses as a sightseeing game its second to none, I will give it that, but in terms of meaningful combat its 5/10 the control scheme is to blame for a lot of it I think, I spent first 60 hours trying to make it work, then switched to back paddles and macro buttons and it felt a lot better, not really sure what the clowns at pearl abyss were thinking with stick presses being a normal binding
>>737409962You need to line them up in a circuit like in the middle column.
>>737407705I'm on a 1070 and run all minimum settings except for textures on medium. Consistent 30 fps except in cities and during big battles, only crashed once so far.
>>737409987Because it has more expression than souls or nioh. When you have 35 different moves, you have to get creative with the controller. It's as simple as that. Their vision clashed with the realities of console babbies.
>>737410169why do you torture yourself like this my dude?
>>737410169I rate that, I remember being a broke ass kid, played crysis at 10 fps, bare minimum everything, it was a great game even looking/performing like shit.Godspeed.
>>737410191Yeah the game lies about mouse and keyboard. It's way easier to pull off shit when you put everything on its own key
>>737410191brother one weapon movesets in nioh is bigger than the entirety of crimson desert's movesetsit down and listen
>>737409987I'm watching my friend play nioh 3 right now, it looks like bullshit and he keeps complaining it's garbage.
>>737409987did you know you can hold r1 and then just tap other buttons to do moves that will flow seamlessly into your combo? you dont have to press r1 and triangle to do stab for example, just hold r1 and when tap triangle when you want to stab. holding r1 costs no stamina
p-patch friday right?
>>737409987I dunno vailt alone kn CD has like 4 different variations and a multitude of followups. The devs decision to spread out all the challengjng enemy types outisde of hernand hurts the game a ton though, but enemy variety is there
>>737410415Vault alone has at least 4 different variations*
>>737410191That's not true at all, the same guys made BDO, which has a ton of combat variety some of which is satisfying and easy, some of which is high effort, but almost all of it has a good control scheme for controllers.They really went experimental with CD, and I don't know why, because they already know how to make an action game work on a controller.
>>737410293I already beat the game and the 3 'overwhelming beings', I know all the tricks and etc, 150 hours.I had a good time, I just think the combat is lacking severely compared to something a lot more fluid and interactive like nioh 2 or 3. As I said, the default controls have a lot to do with that and it felt better when I changed them using macros.
>>737410469nigga bdo controller input sucks dick too, idk what youre saying
This was more annoying than it had any right to be
>>737410672My good man, you can use blinding flash laser mode to activate wall crystals.
>>737363081Is boss rematch in the game yet?
>>737410772Unless they fix the retry loading time, I don't care. Waiting 20 seconds after getting 1 shot 10 seconds into the fight trying to get a feel for their attacks is fucking annoying. It shouldn't take so long.
>>737409987You could have just said Witcher if you wanted to sound less retarded
>>737410903its the 5th comparison, just ignore it. 150 hour count was a dead giveaway
>>737363081DSP just ragequit and called the game dogshit
>>737410415>enemy variety is thereWhere?
>>737410918>your opinion isn't valid because you only have 150 hours in the game and beat most of the contentderanged stuff my dude
>>737410726I didn't try that
>>737411046Everywhere outside of Hernand the enemies start using grapples, counters, mounts, their own turning slash etc.
>>737409987I like them bothBut comparing combat is retarded. Nioh 3 is Nioh meets NG while Crimson Desert's combat is an mmo-fied open world fighting game. I can't imagine somebody being good enough to deal with the retarded crouch cancels to maximize deeps in NIoh 3 getting filtered by such a simple (in comparison) control scheme in CD
>>737410813>Waiting 20 secondsMy load times are under 10 seconds though
>I feel mogged for the first time in-game
>>737363081>how Crimson is your Desert?Mist is best I can do.
>>737411123he's only 150 hours in and provided no proofs. There are people that are still in Hernand with that playcountits just another cuntbag
>>737410976>spam one combo>dont try to do anything>only play for money>quit when you dont get enough moneywhat a nightmare existence
>>737410976based and correctkeep in mind he won evo west 2006, so hes no scrub in games that require hands
>>737411334And it's coming to a neighbourhood near you.
>>737411123So still the same human enemies that you can easily mow down with ay basic string?
>>737411162There's some retarded stuff in CD too the only way to donthe Guile Flash kick requiring you pull out your bow whilst doing a running kick and immediately requiring you to cancel into a melee attack if you don't want to keep your bow out. And there's some baffling inputs like jump after your third kick being a choke slam.
>>737411371you won't do shit schizo retard
>>737411371https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3x-4-iMRbg
>>737411398No even nerfed they will chunk your hp if you do that. But feel free to spend hours cookinh food.
>>737410976Jesus dude.I'm a CD hater but that's because I don't like koreans. Caring about the opinions of that fat retard is another kind of mental illness. It's embarrassing.
>>737411398they really had retarded design here. you cant even have fun and show off when every enemy dies in 1 hit. and the difficulty difference between regular mobs and bosses are massive. regular enemies needed to be tougher, and bosses needed to hit less hard, and upgrading defense needed to be scaled down to compensate. so people doing the main quest wouldnt suddenly go from mattias to kailok, which is a vertical spike in difficulty out of nowhere. not that im saying kailok was insane, but especially pre-nerf, idk wtf they were thinking. most people are just r2 one shotting everything, then all of a sudden you have this goblin that does 3 sword waves and youre dead and hes jumping like a spazztic monkey unlike anything youve ever seen before
>>737411324I have a maxed Brianto and used stims and only won because I cut him off at the final corner turn and stopped his horse.
>>737411162I don't like focus mode in crimson desert, it feels bad and stupid having to enter slowmo to build power for special moves. I also don't like spamming special meals for focus instead, since it feels 'instant' and cheesy. Setting up a build for maximum focus generation through attacking or passive regen is also very time consuming for not much payout.In short, CD does not have a good 'flow' of combat vs bosses or large enemies, since it is interrupted by a toggle state where you wait for something to happen. Since minor enemies / bandits / soldiers are trivial horde battles, the combat should have been designed around satisfying boss combat, not a power fantasy of mulching jobbers. IMO. Also the parry / dodge timing of this game is either very tight or very erratic. I can deflect or dodge perfectly in nioh 3 almost all the time if I'm locked in, but in CD it feels like it just randomly whiffs even when I am fully focused, and I don't like that.
>>737411476Kaliok should have been a regular enemy. He's fun.
>>737409987I miss when its compared to DD2. Can we go back to that?
>>737411476I really don't like how the only way they can make regular mobs remotely threatening is by throwing hundreds of them at you.It's impossible to have a fun and fair duel unless it's a main or side boss.
>comparing Nioh, the literal definition of spam 2 winyeah not giving a reply
I hope next patch tightens controls even more
>>737411672You're right, it is more fair to compare it to DD2 than nioh3. I also enjoyed DD2 quite a lot but was ultimate disappointed by the lack of content and missing jobs I wanted from DD:DA.It does mog in DD2 in movesets, but DD2 boss/monster field battles are 10x more kino than CD.
>>737411673They needed all 3. Singular tough types, medium 3-5 engagements of medium toughness, and then mass groups you just mow down to feel powerful. Instead they had braindead easy and overwhelming (for most players).
>>737411749dd2+cd would be the ultimate open world fantasy arpg game
>>737411785Crimson Desert needed more of the NPC identity and persistence ideas from DD, the rest I could do without. The pawn thing is overrated, what CD has is fine, if they can fix the bugs with pathing and not standing around not fighting.
>>737411416I know, but He will.
>>737411649You get spirit back for perfect dodging. Bosses moves are highly telegraphed and unlike elden ring there's no trickery with the bosses doing the same attack but delaying hirs. Focus is a crutch for when you're not confident.Dodge feels inconsistent if you mash it because mashing it makes it become inconsistent since there are 2 dodges. You also only dodge after you release the button or press light attack to start an evasive attack/counter. They made it this way because there move dependencies on the evade button. You only need to tap and the ifram windows are very generous.
>>737411780The mechanical zones sort of provide that, I noticed. The big tough tank enemies are more common and much stickier. Not that it matters with elemental turning slash and an enhancement, but they definitely put up more of a fight than typical human soldier packs. Too bad it seemed to be only like 3 or 4 outposts in the whole game.
>>737411839i wanted the random getting swooped by gryphons harpies etc in cd
>>737411846I already beat the hardest content in the game. Don't talk to me like I don't know how to play the game. I already 'figured it out'. I simply don't like it as much as other games.Dodging or parrying in focus is much better focus generation than dodging normally. There is no reason not to focus parry/dodge instead.Fuck your 'helpful' passive aggression, I don't appreciate it and I won't fall for it.
>>737363081i really like the game but since they're releasing patches so often im just going to put it down for a few months instead
>>737411929You beat it but you literally have trouble dodging and managing your spirit? On a game that's pretty damn easy?
>>737411929Focus stops stamina regen. You get way better resource economy and damage from perfect dodging/parrying and then countering with light attack.
>>737405105but enough about MARATROON!
>>737411780They do have some medium ones like the big boy trolls that take a good amount of damage and dont stagger that easily
>>737413671yea but not enough. they needed more of those mini bosses from certain nodes. like a lot more. give you some time to ramp up. something that can actually make you eat food if you werent paying attention, but not something designed to eat palmar pills or actually make you see the screen of death. something to practice combos on without it dying on the first hit and moves fast, or learning when to chase or guard. they really completely failed to have a steady on ramp so bosses can feel fun. its just being tossed into the deep end of the pool
>>737387198the rainforest and jijong are the most sovlkino for me
>>737414160the whole eastern thing is overdone, its very boring for me. the rainforest is cool, but even though i know its obviously intended, the constant rain makes it look ugly most of the time. its pailune for me
Have you found out some random holes in mountains that lead you to huge caves inside? Still unsure if thats a bug or a feature...
>>737415121i did and this >>737396951 happened
>>737399809I don't mind the power fantasy aspect this game affords to casuals like me; even with the limited combos I've learned it's just fun to throw enemies around and off of heights, do the axiom GET OVER HERE, slam them into ground and just beat the absolute shit out of everything. They're also adding the difficulty options soon, so I'm not too worried about getting bored. Taking a short break from cd anyway after completing the mq, it got me itching for soulslike bosses to practice parry/bkock/dodge timing. Bought lords of the fallen yesterday, enjoying it so far
>>737401340There are a few who keep regurgitating the journotrash opinion, without having actually played the game.
>>737363081How the FUCK do you defeat Master Du with his bullshit green lightning insta-kill attack?
>>737416045You can vault over him.
>>737407705New amd processors include the game's code, that's how I got mine. The offer ends April 25th tho, and gotta be claimed by may 23rd.
>>737408868The weedheads in that treetop willage, crackheads here.. I need a post game dlc/mod that just allows me to buy/build a house anywhere and turn it into a drug den. An option to dispatch greymanes to extort protection money, run prostitution rings and make and sell drugs would be the cherry on top. Greymanes cartel when?
>>7374077053060 can run it on 1080p 60 fps with DLSS
When is it getting cracked
Kliff exploded shortly after this picture was taken.
>>737363081test
>>737363081can i turn it into a porn game yet? Im bored of skyrim
>>737416952Not yet. The animation framework is still being developed. You can play as nudes Damiane and genderswapped Kliff as they flit around suplexing people tho.
>>737417198i will wait then, thank you, have a nice day
Rate Pywell
>>737409702The worst puzzles are every single sliding puzzles.I hate sliding puzzles so much it's unreal.
>>737419036Huge but somehow still too small/10
>>737411846>You get spirit back for perfect dodging.70 hours in and I didn't know that.
>find some ruins up north where I can find the first shai>some isolated tower further down south from that>enter the tower, has one door on each 4 sides>look outside from it, it's all pitch black, it starts collapsing and I'm getting damage>exit the tower, it looks the same, but now the pitch black area is insideman the lighting is so weird
>>737419263Yeah I found some ruins near the Ancient Rift where the inside is absolutely completely black until you pass the threshold. The annoying part is that most floors collapse right after stepping on them, but you don't see that because it's black from the outside.
>>737419341weird, don't know if bug or intentional just to fuck with people
>>737419451Absolutely a bug, the interior lighthing in the game is fucking terrible.
https://youtu.be/GgkOljYmnOo?t=6912DSP's desert isnt crimson any more
>Fell for the hypeFuck you guys you blatantly lied about everything>Le combat is amazing!!!!You 99% of the time fight bandits. They pose 0 threat. You can hold heavy and win and the game will play itself.The few exceptions are eitherA: Flying enemies who die within a second to sword glareB: Permanently super-armroed enemies all the fun techniques literally do not work against>There's so much cool stuff to see!You literally can't talk to most npcs at all, its just the same models in different costumes>And find!All gear is near or actually statistically identical, there's actually very little notable to find anywhereGame is piss easy boring and honestly quite soulless despite people saying otherwise. You run an overly large world finding people who do nothing and gear that does nothing new.The ONLY upside is that boss figths are nowhere near as bad as people say and I think most people just suck at the game. Parry curbstomps every single boss that doesn't turn into mist of whatever (which is like half of them btw, like half the bosses turn off most of the games mechanics)I also don't dislike Kliff as a character and don't get the issue. Silent protags have been a thing for most of gaming why is this guy being ALMOST silent such an issue?
>>737400206>>737406174No, its a valid complaint. Not only are the enemies this stuff works on insanely easy, but these techniques do not work against almost any other enemy and it WOULD be more fun if any of this actually mattered and wasn't just trying to make boring fights more interesting by input mashing. You can also trivially infinite combo bandits to death with a fraction of those inputs 5 mins into the game. They're adding difficulty levels but I don't see how this game would ever be a challenge with the current system. the most common enemies just can't fight back at all.
I played with Damiane for a couple of hours, and while she is very sexually attractive and makes my penis tingle, her combat is just not as fun as Kliff. Her two handed attacks are just too slow with exagerated animations, and the rapiers don't feel satisfying to use.Her guns are really fun though, and I wish Kliff could use them instead of the gay bows.
>>737408483Fuck you
>>737419675It's the zelda tiktok meme, where nothing warrants learning or mastering some of the mechanics, but some people go out of their way to try to make the game fun by expanding on those anyways.This game is more of a sandbox than anything else.
>>737407625No one mentioned 9
>>737407807Bs I'm running on a 2060 laptop with a weak proce3and it run at 40fps. Bro must be trying to use raytracing
>>737419778I would use her if I could dual wield rapier and pistol.Having to slowly take out and sheath the gun to use it make it so that it's not flowing smoothly when fighting.
Where do I find more cool abyss gears for my weapons and armors? Mostly by fighting bosses I guess? Also, are the boring +1 attack/defense/crit levels even worth using at all?
>>737416952There's a mod that removes all females clothing but headgear/hats
I can’t fuckin believe I let you people psyop me into buying this.
I barely got to the witch quests and I feel like I beat a boss I wasn't supposed to fight yet. Dude was reaming my ass and genuinely two-shotting me to the point where I couldn't scarf down food fast enough to outheal the damage he was doing to me, but I got him after like a dozen retries by spamming parry and focus palm strikes and then I realized I don't even have to do the witch quests to progress the main story anymore so I suffered through that for nothing. At least the sword is cool.
>>737421398Oh yeah that guy sucks.
>>737420345Crit and Attack Speed seem to be the only offensive stats that matter as far as I know - Crit for big weapons, attack speed for fast weapons.The most important stat is Movement Speed, max that out first before committing to anything else.
My beloth/lich king cosplay is now complete, I have ghost soldiers/undead now. Also holy kek look at them go
>>737363081wtf do I do in this game I'm so lost
>>737422831if you're not following the plot, climb up somewhere high and look for anything that sparks your curiosity.
>>737422831Explore, do sidequests, kill bandits, solve puzzles,upgrade your gear, farm cows if thats what you fancy
>>737422831Just follow the main quest, it will NEVER make sense why you do anything so just roll with it.Once you unlock the Camp it's usually worth doing that until it's fully expanded, dipping into other quests in between.
>>737422756Whats abyss gear is that?
>>737423047
Just a few days ago I discovered you could L1+R1 to find abyss challenge thingies or portals around. But the next way this shit wouldn't work. I could do that all the time and have no glowy little points around anywhere. Is this a glitch? Is there a requirement? >>737422756Jesus how many of those map markers can you set?
>after like 100 hours finally decide to see why dye is about and customize my armor>realize now that when selling household goods to free up inventory space that I have been selling all my dyes that I found since that is how they are classified >didn't realize you just use the dyes like a disposable item and learn itOkay how fucked am I with dyes? I know I can buy some from stores, but are there any that you can only find in the wild?
put my playthrough on hold after game breaking progress bug with infinite load times in the abyss will get back to this game in 6 to 9 months if not a year+ from now, just not worth dealing with unfinished games anymore, fix your shit you incompetent lazy faggots
>>737423854>I could do that all the time and have no glowy little points around anywhere.Are you SURE there are even any points around you? I can confirm at least that last night it still works for me.
>>737425156Yeah, I teleported to confirm to a place where I've been before and they worked (the big ass area where you have the boss fight against the masked man in chapter 3) and even though I didn't go discover those, they weren't there anymore. It left me thinking that maybe Kliff needed some sleep or some bullshit I wasn't aware of, checked my equipment and everything.
>>737421596>Attack SpeedEverywhere I read says attack speed doesn't really matter that much and is the least important compared to crit and attack damage. Wish there was an easier way to confirm some of this stuff in-game.
>>737425058Go to the dye house in Hernand or Demeniss and befriend the "Dyer" NPCs roaming during the day. They will gift you back all available dye types except pure black/white.
>>737425058You can craft them all, I believe. Black and White seem to be special with their own quests or whatever.Usually requires farming bugs and flowers, and if you don't have the recipe in-game you can just do it directly using an online guide.Honestly unless you're super autistic about perfect shades. then you only need to get a Darker and Lighter dye for each colour and you have most of your needs covered.I sold a bunch of packs just to learn later that they are used for something, lmao.
>>737425263Yeah I don't know, must be a glitch. I was using it just fine last night to find un-activated portals, unactivated abyss cressets, and and seal abyss boxes I hadn't picked up. I think those are three main things use the light to find. You can see them for a good distance, but it's not like you can look 10 km in the distance and see one.
>>737423854It doesn’t have infinite range.
>>737425312Attack Speed is easy to gain so no need to focus. It's mostly useful for dual wielding and the strongest one handed weapon in the game is a mace that burns on hit so speed is good for that.
>>737425446>>737425496Okay well at least I'm not completely fucked. Thanks guys
>>737425630It still has a lot of fucking range. I should be able to see some in the same position I was able to the last time I opened the game.Anyways as >>737425567 said maybe it's a glitch. After all I opened the game again and I could see some of them.
Just want to say so to those who are drip maxing, if you want the dark marksmen armor, get it before you end chapter 8. Else it seems you can't get it until the very end game.
>>737389751The game is fun but don't pretend bosses aren't retarded>world bosses can literally pull a it's not my time and teleport away at 1% health, healing to full. Some are also broken and just don't appear again so you can track them in circle for hours and they won't appear unless you stand still>bosses arbitrarily start teleporting away whilst you're hitting them>best way to deal with almost every boss is just to spam arrows or ranged to stun themI dare you to post a clip of Ludwig or Bastier and explain how those fights are not horribly designed MMO autism encounters. Or how about>hey would it be fun to have 2 million shadow harpies spazzing around you? Just shine your sword at them!>shining your sword at floating mages also instakills them, because gnat like enemies are really fun!The combat has its moments and you can do a lot of cool stuff but it's jank as fuck a lot of the time. Controls can be unresponsive and also the horrible default button mapping is not helping. The game has a lot of good shit but don't dicksuck the trash bits and justify it.
>>737427257>Some are also broken and just don't appear again so you can track them in circle for hours and they won't appear unless you stand stillOnly one I encountered so far is that hunter one on the elk. Are there more or are you saying "some" and only talking about that one?
is there new game+ in this game?
>>737427852No and it wouldn't make sense to add one until they let you accidentally skip scenes and "follow the guy on a horse" segment, which make up the majority of the games story progression
>>737427345The goblin on a hyena has the same problem, that's 2 for 2 on tracking bosses for me so far. There is zero gameplay reason a boss should jump into the air, vanish and respawn with full health.
>>737427852Yes, NG+ is built into the lore because you start on the 108th playthrough :^)
when im in a retard competition and these two are my oponents>>737410976>>737411468
>>737407705ive played it on Steam Deck with frame-gen and its aighttested it on 1660 Ti as well and it works okaybut im playing on a 3090
>>737410169do you use upscaling and frame gen?i saw some people enable FSR4 on a 1080
>>737405105>wah wah! I'm vague shitposting, why is this game shit and not my taste in video games?!
>>737421398Wait until you see the funal reward kek
>>737427257>I dare you to post a clip of Ludwig or BastierOnce boss replay is added or I start another playthrough, I will.
>>737407705I feel like it runs fine except when there's a lot of NPCs around.I have a 9070xt and whenever I'm around fuckhuge areas with not much going on it's dead smooth, but in the middle of town it starts fucking up
>>737427345nta but there's 4Alpha wolf, Hunter on Elk, Goblin on Wolf, Guy on BoarAnd they're not gaining full health, they have two health bars. I agree that I don't like tracking them twice because the second time you have to find them, they're not moving slowly and if you follow the trail forward and aren't moving at lightning speed you will never catch up to the latter two.So the "right" way to track these retards is to follow the trail backward and you'd never know that the first or even second time you engaged with this.
Any ETA on the patch. I'm giving the game a rest until the grafixx are fixed.
>>737363081my nigga
>>737431038>9070xtAny particular spots? Because I have the same card and no issue so far.
>>737431328Presumably Friday or Saturday
>>737431403Damn, I was hoping for a midweek patch since they skipped last week.
>>737431394Just Hernand, mostly in the middle of town.I have no trouble in the camp or pretty much anywhere else really. But if I'm walking around the tavern area or the teleporter, or towards the bank, there's definitely some framedrops.
>remap a bunch of gamepad controls to not be batshit insane>it not only works mostly fine bar a few weird exceptions, but makes other interactions betterWith a few niche exceptions, having Grapple on Left Trigger is fine. The Bow is less usable on L3 due to the skills, but like....having your main movement option on LT is more relevant for 90% of players. They didn't playtest this with basic default moveset, they only playtested with all moves unlocked so they didn't understand that in a tradeoff between better mobility and ONE combat option, mobility will always win out. I moved Palm Strike to Dpad Up and now "Up" is more intuitive for your additonal jumps, but it ALSO changes the Grapple Superjump to also be Dpad Up, making that also more intuitive. I just did that to remove all essential inputs off the stick presses, but it just makes other stuff better by relation.Dpad Down for Focus makes it way more usable for all its offensive options, and makes cancelling it a single press easier. Why the fuck did they relegate this to crouch, what the fuck they were thinking. Dpad Up is a horse button but you can just....move the horse menu to Hold Select and the summon the Horse from there. They wasted an incredibly valuable face button on THE FUCKING HORSE. Why didn't they get a single human to playtest the gamepad controls, somebody not using debug all skills unlocked from internal dev but just a normal person.
>>737431868So I'm fully retarded but I didn't see in the options where to edit the controller input, only the keyboard bindings. Is there a mod for this? Or am I flatout blind and didn't see the in game option. I have defintiely wanted to move axiom force (I'm guessing thats what you mean by grapple--not the actual grapple which is triangle + circle)
>>737431868Glad you found something that works for you, but I prefer the default loadoutAre you using a full controller grip with pointers on L1/R1 and middles on L2/R2?
>>737406465The game must have anticipated the player running out of steam, that whole Delysia chapter just teleports you to all the objectives
>>737432087Sorry, should have specified - it's with mods. Specifically using a pre-existing nexus mod that swaps Dodge/Roll and remaps jump to the bottom face button, then I modified it further.There's two XML files, "inputmap" and "inputmap_common" that you can extract from the game files (i.e. with Crimsonforge), change with Notepad, then repack into the game with Crimsonforge or any other mod manager that allows loose files to be loaded into the game.I assume you can get super granular with button press type and hold times etc. but I settled for just switching inputs around.Given the lack of in-game mapping I assumed it would be Korean and super complex but it's...just a fucking text file written out in plain english. The only difficulty is working out what the " Key_Skill_ " and other inputs are but it's mostly intuitive.>>737432429At first I thought the basic control scheme was fine until I realised that Focus Mode is actually a fully fledged combat mechanic you want to be using often, and that Axiom Force is something you're using for traversal at all times and not just for puzzles. Having these on stick presses is demented, my thumbs don't need that shit.
>>737422756Again, those ghost bros are really good, maybe not the most efficient but good nonetheless.
>>737411414choke slam comes out after punches+jumpThe Bow has all the kicks and yeah cancelling out of bow stance sucks ass. There's a few things about using the bow that I really should have submitted feedback on given that they listened to everything else I asked for.e.g; >using kicks breaks lockon even in a melee combo because you're technically in a bow stance and having no trackingEither give them tracking or let them lockon>bow not resuming lockon after you're done using it>the speed it takes to take out or put away the bow impacting combo flow>The Explosive Evasive shot -> unique multishot has no follow ups and requires you to do the backwards multishot to cancel into flight so you can cancel into something elseJust let the player force palm, charge shot, or Flying/Meteor kick up thereLike again it's not retarded as pressing L3 after literally every single attack in Nioh 3 because cancels rely on that now, but it can be fixed to not be annoying.>>737433316It's more about hand movement for meRun/quick-step forcepalm is faster so it needs to be on the right side so you can actually properly maneuver and use itSomething like L1+Square -> L3 -> L2+R2 -> Triangle is all right side dependent and feels a bit more natural than L1 + Square -> up -> L3+R2 ->triangleThough I will say that for combat specifically, Axiom Force feels weird on default since you can aim and move while doing it but it's on a stick press which is just awakward. For exploration I didn't find it too egregious
>>737420452naked is boring
what's the best anti lighting armors? the lighting sister keeps fucking me over because I have like 5 lighting resistance and everything I find has like 3 or less lighting resistance
>>737379032why does this game looks so bad in screenshots?
every time i force myself to do a chapter of the main quest i have to take a break from the game for like a week
I've been playing since release and only just started getting seriously into chapter 8. Pailune FINALLY done. Pretty much did everything here, minus the random merchant quests and the antumbra shenanigans since I haven't found the last guy I think spear guy yet to unlock the big bad. Did beat Antumbra's staff.I think there's something weird going on though, I've finished Odeck faction quests(including the GENERAL)+faction quests for the titan but the quests for Knytlingar Clan haven't unlocked. tried to google it but can't find anything. In fact nobody mentions if they even have any quests.Do they really not have any quests?But anyhow I think Pailune was nice.Not as big as Hernand of course but it was still pretty huge. My favorite area is definitely the forest. Felt like Athel Loren from WH3 or wood elf inspired at least.
>>737435079The kuku lightning armor. Got to get the blueprint from one of the witches sanctuary and I'm guessing the core from a sancturary too, which I don't think I have yet. I got the kuku flame armor which looks kino. You can upgrade it after you get the kuku version of it, as well. But you can't dye it and you can't slot it.
>>737435079The one that drops from lightning titan
Dual wield Oonga>Dual wield Damienne>Dual wield Kliff > fan > rapier > sword kliff > big sword damiene > non-dual OongkaDual wield oongka not only gets the most slots but also spams artifacts the fasts
>>737433316In the next patch they are supposed to have more controller options (don't know if you can make your own custom scheme). If the patch doesn't change it, then yeah I'll look into the mod.Anyone know when the 1.4 patch is coming? Supposed to be this week right?
>>737436270Whenever the titan does a fist slam, I just jumped and force palmed to the air. This would avoid pretty much most damage, though if you're too close to him the spikes on his shoulder would hit you. Thought it was a good fight overall. Now the lightning spires puzzle before him are cancer just because the last one glitched out on me and I didn't realize it until I searched and saw other had the same glitch even though I figured the puzzle out.
>>737427257Because you dropped your combo. You need to mix in throws, kicks, launches and rkos. They easily recover from light/heavy spam. Just mixing in charged thrust from light attacks helps.
>>737436841Yeah titan was good, puzzle was absolute cancer though not because it was particularly hard but because its so ridiculously clunky.
>>737436568Rapes his stamina though
>>737437248There are items to negate stamina cost entirely
>>737372481 bee hive club https://youtu.be/zTi-aU81olw
>>737437317For 4 seconds. Fairrly tedious to boot. Right now it's not much to matter since Oognka can put enough gas in the tank in those 4 seconds to instantly end most fightsIf hard mode is done well enough and fights last longer, that consideration potentially matters more
>>737436568Great axe + hammer oongka boong gets double the amount of hits from rampage and spin2win. It's the effect from his dual wield mastery. The abyss gears from his hammers don't activate though.
>>737436568Spear>all
>>737437585Spear is so good. You can disrespect the boss and hit him out of hitstun as long as you have the stamina for counter.
>>737437585>>737437673 Daniane spear kind of sucks though. Her light+shift is the worst out of the three.
>>737436670>In the next patch they are supposed to have more controller options They should fix the dualsense bullshit. There's a toggle for adaptive trigger options and it absolutely does not work. There is not a single report online of anyone, even on the PS5, getting that shit to actually do anything
I intentionally did not include spear because spears are gay and if you use a spear you are gay>Bro I'm gonna penetrate u deep with my hard shaft
>>737437939>Bro I'm gonna penetrate u deep with my hard shaftCorrect
>>737437939It's [whatever medieval period]. Thee receiver is considered a woman.
>>737437792>There's a toggle for adaptive trigger options and it absolutely does not work. There is not a single report online of anyoneThat's because I think 99% of PC players don't even know what adaptive triggers are. Like I played Helldivers 2 for two years on PC before I learned it had adaptive triggers are. I tried them for a day, though it was kind of cool that you got some resistance on the triggers like pushing down a peddle, but ultimately thought it was annoying and turned it off. Not even sure what adaptive triggers would bring to this game. I guess when you draw your bow?
>>737438858That and strong attacks so it's not like it's an amazing feature, but that's no excuse for adding an option to the menu that literally does not do anything at all.The vast majority of people trying this feature enabled report the same on both platforms: it does jack and fucking shit.
>>737435189Depends on the lighting. And I think the ps5 compresses them
>>737439029>but that's no excuse for adding an option to the menu that literally does not do anything at all.For sure. I was just more commenting on why no one has reported it: because PC players don't really know what it does
AGP chad hereI turned kliff into a girl she is LITERALLY MEI would post pics but I don't want you silly boys hitting on me but have it be known I made my ass huge
ill be honest, the game isn't good and the fact that it's designed to literally waste your time so that you can post online about how "heh 150 hrs and i still didn't leave hernand XD" is fucking cringe.hundreds of fetch quests, literally every person in your camp and the main cities in hernand and pailune want you to fetch something or talk to someone.copy pasted quests like "hey talk to this guy about my work", go to guy, he left a note that he's somewhere else, go to that place, an npc hands you a note that the guy is somewhere else. this style of quest happened 3 times so far, i guess they put it for every region.clearing bandit camps is not engaging or interesting at all, it's basically playing a musou and it takes way too fucking long for some of them, I actually DONT want to kill retarded humans while holding r1/rb for 30 minutes, thanks.every boss has a jump, teleport, disengage, it's fucking annoying.the entire capturing bounties system is awful, why does it take 3 punches with huge animation lock before you can tie them up? and they talk non stop the entire time, my god man.there's more but my post is getting too long.
>>737419675>i-it doesn't work on other enemiesSorry, not interested in your pathetic skill issues.https://www.youtube.com/shorts/db4TPHatyA4
I noticed something weird today, enemies don't show up on the minimap anymore, specifically the goblin fanatics, haven't checked with other enemies yet.Is that something they do or did I fuck some setting up or what?
>>737440373Other enemies bro, can you not read?Not bossesAll mechs cannot be grabbed, all bears and other animals cannot be grabbed, all enemies who turn to mist or similar cannot be grabbed, all of the above do not take normal hitstun from basic moves and cannot be juggled except the flyers
>>737440248>I actually DONT want to kill retarded humans while holding r1/rb for 30 minutes, thanks.Posts like this make me understand why DMC gets so much shitposting on /v/ these days. Like yeah you can just spam stinger to win, but you don't have to. Combat systems like this are an expression of the player, and your expression is boring and stupid apparently
>>737440495>N-NO THIS SPECIFIC ENEMY CANNOT BE GR-ACK!a dumb nigga who doesn't understand force palm or the pull
>>737440648Go fight a bear or robotic enemy and show me you pulling them to you and using grapple moves or a proper extended melee comboYou won't because you literally can'tThe combat system only works v humanoids
>>737440626what expression man, what difference does it make whether or not i use all the moves in my repertoire or not, it's garbage content in the context of this game and it's systems. clearing camps isn't a novel concept, it's in other games, but somehow crimson desert managed to make it a chore.
should I wait before next week's update and play the game then? They're adding difficulty settings
>>737440917That's what I mean, you're just boring and stupid. You don't want to kick some dude off a ledge, run through the crowd with your shield up knocking enemies down, then lariat a guy, winch in the archer, imbue your turning slash and knock back a group. You just want to spam L1.
>>737411692I'm waiting until June when all the patches are out to play it.
>>737440713Bears can be combo'd and grapple. You need to knock them off balance and then cling onto them
Cant decide if this game is bad and im wasting my time, i only do errand boy quests so far but i cant stop playing
>>737443410tf do you mean anon if you're playing it so much then it's obviously good? Why would you play it otherwise? Or are you feeling guilty given some people shit on the game while you are enjoying it?
>>737443581Nta but ill play many ubisoft games a ton and never really feel much from it. I'm just doing stuff but none of it is fun or makes me happy. Its just stuff to do. Like popping snd endless roll of bubble wrap. Crimson desert is better than that because the exploration is properly rewarding and the puzzles are hard and combat is more fun and the TECHNOLOGY is really satisfying to admire.
>>737442746Not withe the actual grappling moveset
>>737444080Maybe it's because it's early in the game but I'm not so sure about that>Exploration is properly rewardingIn most cases all I'm finding by finding weird secret places is a cave with some ore (sometimes not even that, I found a cave with absolutely nothing on it but drawings on the wall and there's a lot of crevices that lead nowhere and have nothing), an abyss cresset or one of those little challenges, and that's about it.>puzzles are hardNot really? The hardest part about some of them for me was to just find them. The thing is there's a lot of presentation on them, and then the rewards is... another fucking abyss artifact. I'm in this cave solving a puzzle, reading a memory where these guys are talking about a weapon, and all I get is an abyss artifact.>combat is more funFrom what I remember from earlier entries in Ass creed, that's not a high bar. In those games you just held a button and moved the analog stick towards your next victim 80% of the time. If they improved on that a lot I'm not sure, it seems they RPGified them too much.>the TECHNOLOGY is really satisfying to admireIt does have some places that are hard to forget, I'll admitWhat Crimson Desert seems to lack is proper honest to god quests. A good chunk of them are legitimately just head to the marker and talk to an NPC, then move back. I must have completed at least 20 missions like that already, with the reward being the same, and the story in them not being compelling enough to waste my time. It's purely because I'm shit at inventory management, and I could always do with more slots. I can think of a good number of quests that would make the game feel a lot more alive without even having to introduce elaborate characters at all and I very much doubt, with the amount of work that went into some areas in this game, they couldn't just have something better there.
>>737434497Thats why its half naked
Even Nioh 3 decided to simplify it's button combinations on controller
>>737445217You're way too early in the game you can find unique abyss gear and items by exploooooring.
>>737446160wearing a hat means you are only half naked, okay retard
>>737446242does it negate fall damage?
>>737446356nope, but height doesn't matter even double jump generates a shockwave, so double jumping can finally matter now if you're into that
nioh 3 has better combat but the world is ugly af and i have no desire to explore it
>>737446478btw it looks like this and blasts people around you.
>>737446869would be fun if double jump wasn't so fucking fiddly
>>737419571yeah... i still think the games tech foundation is solid and the game can be fixed... but will it? thats the question. and the answer is 99% no
who the fuck is jian, why is he constantly mentioned by the bandits in pailune, got a funeral scene where kliff pays respects, and his journal given as a memento
>>737446995and for the record I really like the game and have been playing since literally the first day it came out, but for the life of me why can't I land double jump every time?
>>737440626the problem is that soldiers eventually get one tapped so you cant express shit
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgkOljYmnOo&t=6929I mean... he isn't wrong.
>>737448016The description is wrong. It's the Mario 64 bounce.
reminder that when you find a cave with loot inside take all the chests and then use nature snare to break everything, I have found incredible stuff inside like gears and cubes
limiting the flip to having the bow out is bad game design. fix this immediately
what's up with the little mushrooms walking around the forest? sometimes they have a leaf icon, but are immune to the palm strike
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=blJyBaFbnSw reminder that while you were shitting your pants about Boss people have been making meme videos beating them up with a broom.
>>737446242does the giant walking tree that carries those boots appears again or only during that specific quest?I have been looking for it but can't find it
does /v/ like naira
>>737447987Lots of lore bits and conversations and finally his journal mentions this but basically he was the leader of Pailune who managed to more or less unite Pailune's unga bunga savages. His final objective was to domesticate and basically unite even people like the black bears and turn their brutality towards external enemies. Of course before that happened people like Ludvig who stabbed him in the back(who you btfo) and Myurdin were long since compromised which is how he got himself killed by being too nice.
>>737363081What's the "endgame" in this? Like are there big dragons or demons at the end or is it like Dragon's Dogma where you hit goblins the entire game?
>>737449640huh that's interesting I found it before any kind of quest he should be there, though i had started the longleaf chain I never got the prompt for the tree I found it before that.
>>737449740Yes! Out of all the flawless beauties of Pywel, only Naira is for me.
>>737449992Endgame is squid game
>>737450307Wrong Greymane hoe, this one is superior.

>>737450574>mathildenobody likes the camp bicycle
I was a FG hater for the longest time but in CD it truly feels great. Could be because of Blackspace engine lending itself well to this tech or because of how much inertia everything has which makes input lag much less noticeable
>>737448289Wait, HE DIES TO A RANDOM SOLDIER AHAHAHAHAHA its not even a boss wtf? I thought detractors here were claiming that combat is braindead and you can kill all the mooks/normal NPCs by just mashing attack what went wrong?
>>737445217Discovering unique semi hidden places are reward enough for me mostly. If there's a treasure chest there or an artifact that's a bonus.Yeah these quests are all pretty boring. Except the few castle battles which are absolutely amazing. The game needs a good story and Interesting lore. But everyone is saying that anyways.
I like the single player MMO side of the gameIt just feels so fucking huge. The biggest problem of single player MMOs weren't shit quests, it was abysmal traversal, combat with no feedback and progression that could be boiled down to making numbers go up. CD is different where it matters
>>737451981It is absolutely huge. Hell Hernand could be a separate game with the amount of shit you learn and do there. Including the bosses, in fact it has enough bosses to be counted as a separate game.
Guys, I’m genuinely confused. I just beat Myurdin and I thought the fight was pretty good, if a bit too easy. Then I go online to see some clips and people are saying him and Ludvig are too hard and it’s bullshit. Now I’m thinking I might have overleveled, but you can’t really do that here, right? All my gears are to the point where you need to start using abyss gears and they’re all pretty much the same stats. I don’t know, is the game just filtering folks, because I never felt like the bosses were unfair or that there was no options to deal with them.
>>737450307>>737450574Check out Oliver’s friend. It’s weird she doesn’t have a name. They just call her Oliver’s friend. I don’t even know who Oliver is, but she’s in my camp, doing laundry or something.
>>737452908>MyurdinMuch easier than than Ludvig. I needed to learn a bit of timing when it came to his second form.But yes people refuse to git gud. They refuse to use the mechanics Kliff has and the game encourages you to use. Many people thought it would be some kind of assassins creed clone. They also tend to refuse to put points into HP/Stamina/sp for some reason.
>>737452908The main issue is the visibility and the FoV changes basically solve it. He's fun since you can kill him like you do bowser in Mario 64
>>737452908I'll extend them an olive branch and agree that the curve doesn't make sense. The main story bosses should generally follow a pretty predictable curve, but sometimes you'll get a hard boss and then an easy one, and the difference between regular mobs and bosses are too great. I don't think the bosses are nearly as bad as they say, but the game simply does fail to prepare you to how the game wants you to play.
>>737452908we get it you're a L33T gamurz, fuck offf
They should let us RIDE harpies.
>>737452908retards are still calling the archery contest too hard and begging for nerfs, the average skill but mostly patience of gamers has gone way, way down
So... Umbra.That wasn't a very good fight.
>>737440626Enemies die way too fast to do any cool moves and most bosses are immune to them anyway. This is the one game where bloated enemy health pools would probably lead to MORE fun since you could fight longer.
>>737456320I do like cleaving through a LOT of fodder like it's a musou, but the elites could definitely do with more health for sure.
>>737456651Most the POI's in the game give you about two to three minutes of fighting before you clear it. I'm sad I didn't make a save before any of the big castle sieges so I could just fuck around like a sandbox battle.
>>737411842Is the whole mark of the beast still happening in this year now that GTA 6 has been delayed?
I need the new update ASAP to return to this game. Please let it be Thursday or Friday.
I completed the game, and as I suspected, now there's a gaping crimson-desert-shaped void left in me. Fuck you, Koreans, for ruining other games for me.
>>737456131I want a harpy to ride me, if you catch my drift.
>>737456320How do you make the backflip kick?
>>737459183It's either in 2h or 26h, bro. Flip a coin.
>>737363081Haha how is that dog supposed to prep an arrow and draw back the pull string. Silly dog
>>737459183Don't come back until June. That's how long they said it'll take before they put in everything they said they would a week ago.
>>737363081>kill 5 enemies with shield without taking damageThat challenged is fucking bullshit
>>737463684Look for he fundie gobbos surrounding reedfield Graves. They spawn in packs of 5+ and are easy to kill
>>737463684How are you so bad at games?
>>737431649>>737431403this is the problem with fast updates, people get these kinds of expectations lolcrazy we got so many patches in the first place, I wonder how long they'll keep it up
>>737363081pretty cool that you taught your dog to shoot a bow and arrow
>no patch againThey took the money and ran....
>>737446995it's easier to boost into a double jump from a slide
So, what do we do with legedary fish? Is there a pond in the camp where I can place them?
>>737464998if you give that to a cat it will 100% trust you, you can get any cat in the game, save it in case they put new cats

>>737465939>HARD MODEFINALLY, THIS GAME GOT REAL FUCKING BORING BECAUSE I EXPLORED TOO FUCKING HARD AND EVERYTHING FUCKING DIES IN SECONDS
>>737465939>Additional patterns>Food animationThey they either put a lot of effort into this or they already had some of these things in earlier versions and nerfed them. Either way I'm happy
>>737465939Hard Mode seems pretty full-on, interesting.
>>737465939>you can now lock itemsthis is something very small but I really wanted it.
>Materials stored in the Sturdy Gatherables Chest can be used for crafting or refinement even if they are not carried in your inventory>Ingredients stored in either cooler can be used for cooking even if they are not carried in your inventory
>>737465939>They nerfed blue attacksNot sure how I feel about this. On one hand it was basically a question before but now you can potentially just dumber bosses with elemental turning slash and they won't be able to do shit. It was the one countermeasure.
>>737466478>>Materials stored in the Sturdy Gatherables Chest can be used for crafting or refinement even if they are not carried in your inventoryWHAT TOOK THESE FUCKERS SO LONG?
>Added a well to Howling Hillbrb making 200 porridge
>>737465939>hard mode nerfs food and adds cooldownFinally. I kinda feel guilty slamming through meals blowing through bosses and not memorizing their movementsYes I have no self-restraint. Hopefully appliable mid-game
>>737437792There's no reports because the option functions as it should. I use a ps5 controller and I didn't like the adaptive triggers so I turned it off and it turned off like it should.
>Added an outfit storage feature to the Wardrobe, which can be placed through housing mode.

>>737465939It's time to log back in and do my dailies again
>>737467832You need to find her first. She in a cave in silverwolf mountains
>>737456320you got your wish lmao
>>737365037I hate any stick presses in any game, so I got a controller with back paddles and remapped them to stick presses. Agree that this should be more easily customizable in game but that's a convenient solution
