It's up
>Turn the 3/10 game into a 4/10 gameWOW
>>741808897dogshit movesets>but its SUPPOSED TO BE CRAZY!yeah
>>741809001That's the power of modders
>>741808897To anyone that wants to play something more 'balanced' than what the mod is known for, in my experience the Nox Oracle class tends to be the closest thing the mod has to a 'hard mode', which is basically more in line with Vanilla difficulty. You never really get any game rapingly strong abilities or skills beyond that which a normal magic build in ER already has access to. And some of the challenges you have to do for the class's items are actually pretty tough if you rush them.
>>741809317I thought it would be cool if there would be a class that started in the DLC area. They already deleveled the enemies pretty much afaik.
>In The Convergence mod for Elden Ring, many Divine Towers are either sealed off or altered because Great Runes are awarded automatically upon defeating the relevant demigods. You typically don't need to visit the towers to activate runes, though specific exceptions (like the tower in the Raya Lucaria lakes) allow for secret areas.Did they fix this? Thanks ChatGPT for affirming that you couldn't access the towers.
>>741809601They did some kind of rebalance to the DLC I heard, but I haven't gotten to that point yet in my playthrough.
>>741809815They're basically just pointless now, with the exception of the Caelid Tower and the Liurnia tower, that are necessary for the Godskin quest. You can go to them, but it doesn't do anything in most cases.
>>741809091>movesetsBro you're supposed to use magic...Play reforged if you want to unga bunga
>>741810313The weapons are often very cool thoughbeitfully.
>>741810313Well you’re supposed to use the new weapons too which have ashes on par with the new spells. This mod is 100% a power fantasy though, even with the new rebalance. I mean on my first playthrough the first demigod (not forge relic holder or whatever they were called, you know) was Malenia at level 70 or so, and I did it first try because guess what? Being a gravity mage that can teleport all over the place and shoot Astel lasers and meteors with a light greatsword that has an ash buffed by Rellana’s cameo is overpowered. Like I won’t deny that base ER let you become overpowered too but there it required engaging more with statuses and buffs while Convergence devs just want you to be strong without really trying. It’s like if every build made blasphemous blade look C Tier by default, without you really trying.
>>741808897>Turns 10/10 game into a 2/10 gameWOW
>>741809317What class should I play if I want an OP power fantasy?
>>741809317Pretty sure this class just got the Fingerslayer Blade.
>>741808897Shill me on this
>>741810861Dragon lightning cultist or whatever it's called. The regular lightning one.
>>741810861I remember Dreadnought and Blood Inquisitor both being really good, not sure if anything changed with the update
>>741810861Godskin CelebrantFrost WitchStarcallerDragon CultistBlood InitiateProbably some more. All the spell casters are very strong in this mod.
>>741811370adds a city outside castle morne that basically doubles the size of that dungeonlots of additions and dungeon reworks
>>741810861Chadskin Celebrant
>>741810861Pretty much every magic class is busted as shit so go with whatever you like the aesthetic of.Underworld mage (ice lightning) and stormcaller (wind magic) were my favorites.
>>741811370It’s like a Kingdom Hearts Final Mix version of Elden Ring but with Skyrim’s alternate start mod and your character will be way more powerful than base game. The hardest part of the mod is at the start when you’re trying to get your class stuff but after that you’re basically already the Elden Lord and it’s just “go around and murder stuff” simulator. The new bosses are alright, they’re great for mod standards but none of them are even Romina or Gaius level except for the Godskin Matriarch, I guess. Oh and another that’s just basically Demon Princes 1-1, not counting that one since it’s just the same fight but with rot.
Is this mod auto-pirating Elden Ring or is it just me? Its not using my Elden Ring install
>>741812226I have never used their launcher so I don't know what it does
>>741812226It doesn't launch with a pirated copy of ER.
>>741808897>scans your entire system to delete any 'pirated' files from elden ringRemember kids, support From Slop for allowing multiplayer hackers to bring your PC ^__^
>>741813026this is for single player mode of The convergence; to run the game with theirs .bat launcher; if it doesn't work for you..:place convergenceER folder in the same drive and replace the following strings as they are, in theirs .bat file; works (don't forget to modify your game folder)@echo offchcp 65001 > nulcd /d "%~dp0":: CONFIGURAZIONE CORRETTA PER MOD ENGINE 3echo Avvio di Elden Ring: The Convergence in corso....\me3\Windows\me3.exe launch -p ".\me3\convergence.me3" --game eldenring --exe "YOUR GAME FOLDER\Game\eldenring.exe"pause
>>741810861Godskin and Dragon Incant builds are ridiculous.
>>741811406I've been playing dragon cultist for the last week and I have yet to find anything better than knight's spear.
>>741808897>they're buffing enemiesNOOOO I WANTED TO BE OVERPOWERED!!
>>741810303Can you enter them at the very least? It doesn't have to have a Great Rune in the towers, even an arteria leaf could work lol
>>741814092Yeah. You can go up to the top of them. The fingies are still there and stuff. There's just nothing to do there.
>>741813863I liked using this.https://youtu.be/VNeG99qQXcU?t=321
>>741814282it occasionally shits out damage, but it's not very consistent and the follow up is only good uncharged. knight's spear just blows up everything like the actual game.
>>741813132does it actually? I keep pirated version 1 of some games on my PC so i can replay them as devs originally intended before whiners get the publishers to demand nerfs. Its like a requirement to fight the best versions of certain bsoses in fromsoft games.
>>741813132This is why you don't download gay ass precracked repacks
>>741814646Do you really believe shit you read on here? Do you really think some mod makers would open themselves up to going to prison for spreading malware?
>>741814438I don't know what knight's spear is. It was probably added after I played it.
>>741815056knight's lightning spear is a shadow of the erdtree incantation.
>>741813863Thats the common issue with these modded spells. They always have too much build up or whatever compared to just basic vanilla blasting.
>>741813908From playing the beta build, you're still overpowered
>>741813026https://www.reddit.com/r/PiratedGames/comments/1qo0occ/cracking_elden_ring_convergence/
>>741813908I believe the base game is the same, it’s just the dlc has been balanced more. Keep in mind the DLC scaling was absolutely putrid in the previous version, you could go to Bayle and decimate him with a +10 weapon without trying at all. Keep in mind, the mod let you make your weapons +15 with the scadu smithing stones and upgrading weapons is a lot stronger in this mod than in base because of the scaling changes as well, so it was turbo fucked.
>>741818421In the last version the DLC seemed to be scaled at about Mountaintop of the Giants level. The Haligtree was higher in scaling, from damage testing. It made sense in that you were allowed access to the DLC far earlier. But it was not great in that with how long the game is, you're either going to blow out the power level scale for the DLC or base game, depending on which you prioritize.
>>741808897There are only a few things that would get me to try an Souls mod.Either>All the new content is located in its own zone like a DLCOr>It actively goes through the entire game and fixes its weakest moments by adding new enemies that aren't lore breakingly gay.Seems these mods do niehter and basically just spread their donut steels into random fucking areas across base game.
>>741819679what kind of demands are those. nobody is gonna do that.
>>741819807Demands that make sense.So you want to add your OC fanwank shit to a good game and force me to start a new character in a game slated at over 120 hours minimum to complete?Well you better have consolidated it all to one location in which I can basically speed run to, to cut down on play time, or you better have actually changed the entire experience in a good away by fixing some of the games weakest moments.Elden Ring suffering from Open World bloat isn't even a factor, if you did this to Dark Souls I would expect some major revamps to blight town, Izailith and other places a long the way.
>>741820167I think the mods are for people who enjoyed the base game
modslop
Alright which class starts furthest in the game
>>741820263It's not about whether or not you enjoy base game, you should be designing with the assumption people already played base game.
>>741821280I think an unwillingness to play the base game might mean you don't like it enough to play a mod
>>741819679>It actively goes through the entire game and fixes its weakest moments by adding new enemies that aren't lore breakingly gay.Not enemies, but areas. Castle Morne and Carian Manor, as examples. >>741821203Two start in Caelid.
>>741821427Those two being...?
>>741821427>>741821570Actually maybe I'll do Frost Witch (Wizard). That sounds like a late game class
>>741821365It's a time investment thing more than anything.
>>741821427>>741821570>>741821705Welp that's not where I was hoping to start
>>741821570Volcanist and Rot guy. If you think its farther, the Dragonkin dude starts in Siofra.
>>741822228The frost witch placement is weird and feels like they just had to find a place to put them, and it couldn't be too close to Ranni.
>>741809001>33% betterThat’s a huge improvement
>>741822228Servant of Rot starts in the swamp of aeonia.
>>741808897Is Marika in the game as a summon or as a boss?
>>741822546Shut up nerd
>>741822829No but you can use her original hammer. They keep making new characters with dumb names that don't follow the naming conventions of the original game because they don't know about them. Only one that lines up is Konrad for a new guy that serves Mohg,
>>741819679Here are a few standard areas with modifications visible on the world map graphics. Many more are heavily changed without map art yet made. The modifications should be obvious.
>>741823964Is the new map for Farum Azula recent? When I played I spent a while there partially because the area is basically entirely different, there's so much in it now. I didn't do Raya, Deeproot, or Sellia in my run but they probably had a lot of changes too.
>>741824152Yeah, they just updated the map graphic for the new version. Its crazy huge and pretty easy to get turned around in.
>>741810313But reforged ruins weapon combat, magic is the only playstyle that reforged improves.
So do I just get the launcher and run it from anywhere? Or is the .bat thing from Nexus less likely to give me botnets
>>741824338I use the launcher because I'm sure one of these days they're going to drop the .bat release and I might as well get everything working now. The .bat works just fine, and is easier to point towards a non-steam installation.
>>741808897Man I wish I had time for this. It's pretty great.
>play necromancer class>don't get any romance
>>741824864I own ER and don't want their launcher doe
>>741810861I don't know if this update changes it, but necromancer is almost unkillable once you get all of its spells. Its starter spell is really strong too. None of its spells are flashy but they're very powerful. If you're willing to use summons then its even easier because they synergize with them. The biggest downside is that collecting necro loot takes you to a lot of massively revamped areas and I think most of them are a worse experience than the base game.
While I do like a lot of the changes, my biggest complaint is that all of the new legacy dungeons are linear mazes.
>>741809001Why are you bringing up modded Skyrim?
>>741825816They really like putting you on the most circuitous route within a dungeon possible. Want to get to a place that is 50 feet ahead? Get ready to spend 15 minutes going around a knot to get there.
>>741826525On the plus side, you won't miss any pickups.On the minus side, the only pickups that matter are at the end of the dungeon.
>>741826525The best part about the gravity build was that you get a cracked up version of Miriam's Vanishing so you can do a lot of sequence breaks with it. I don't think I did Leyndell right cause I just used that spell to reach the big trunk going into the not-Gundyr temple.
>>741825428Yeah, the Necromancer class especially basically turns the whole thing into a totally new game. It is very fun and worth focusing on.
I think every ice spell needs to inflict frost bite for frost witch to even be a halfway decent class
>>741832465frost witch has a class-exclusive status effect they can inflict with their spells that make frostbite procs hit harder and some other shit. Think it's called shatter or something
>>741832653Give every spell shatter then
