Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen 2: Electric Boogaloo 2: Beastren 99 ripened figs Bully Special Edition
>>750127446>the dlc pre order armor has battahl and vermund color versions>you cant get themWhat kind of sick joke is this
>>750127830Can you spawn them in or is there something that checks your validity?
>>750127830Where did you saw those ?
>>750128036Switch only but they are in the files regardless>>750127896Seems like it. Couldn't spawn them in with REFramework
Are ephemeral weapon upgrade skills from evil eye fixed or random? i got a demon counter 3 with chaotic strike on the bow Skygill
>>750128806Damn they look super cool too...
>>750128806Huh, so nips still do DLCs exclusive to which store you preorder from.
>>750129089It’s random but I think there’s a somewhat limited pool and high bias for corrupt foe counter III
new cycle new me
>>750129356I wonder if they will put them up as DLC eventually. Did they ever do that for the pre-order weapons of the main game like the daggers in OP ?
is DA2 good to play during Halloween month? Like is there anything appropriately spooky or scary? I was holding off waiting for spooky season to end and cold season to start
>>750129723Bro farmed too much soul.cores in Nioh 2 (looking cool)
>>750129776The Superior set? Don't think so. I don't really have much experience with this sort of thing, but the only other example I can think of was back with Tales of Zestiria, where pre-ordering from 7-Eleven would get you an exclusive recolor for the protag's outfit, as well as a unique special attack that was the protag's only healing move. It never got released outside that preorder as far as I know. Dogma is obviously a very different game owned by a different company, but I wouldn't hold my breath on the outfit retextures or the preorder weapons being available.
>guys its fixed now>install>it's still 20 hours of goblin grinding before you get to the "good stuff" and also the abysmally dull main story
>>750129571can i power up the same weapon again? for stat increase and 4 randomized skill?
>>750130121so you boughtned the expansion?
>>750130063Im on PC for DD2 so hopefully a mod will come along to unlock them if the files are on pc
>>750130121At least hard mode + lost rites save the progression and endgame of the base game which was my major complaint. You only really start to feel OP with main endgame dragonforged gear. You can easily go into the DLC as soon as you hit vensworth
>>750130386You wouldn't find it on Nexus ever. There are already plenty of mods there to add whatever item you want, but the mod authors intentionally added checks to stop you from adding DLC items you didn't buy. I suppose if you're savvy enough, you could dig through the scripts and see if removing the check would let you get the items.
Make sure your pawn isn't victim weight
>>750130736girth maxxin’
>>750129856There are skeletons, zombies, ghouls, liches that can reanimate dead enemies, explorable tombs, two haunted forests, a headless horseman enemy type, and the DLC boss is an undead dragon. The sphinx is also a little scary. Is it a spooky game overall? Not really.
>>750130617Its just a dye, kind of a miss opportunity to make a part of Bakbattahl's industry being dyes that doesn't work on gear
>>750127446SEX with female beastren
>MS new ability>it sends out a spectral copy to fight for you>cool, now I can have two copies fighting for me when I Wild Furie>Wild Furie actually cancels the previously sent out copylmao
>>750131012>Using Wild FurieDidn't beat the game
>>750130884ah same old stuff then, I'll play it after I finish some other games for the month
>Sphinx riddle>Present your beloved>Put my pawn there>After the sphinx is done yapping my pawn asks "Truly...?" in a flustered voice
Itsuno was a visionary and a GOAT!
>>750129856>When the resident are evil
>Death spawns in a vortex >Actually manage to kill it>Knock it down >Do a critical attack while it's down >Takes out three of its HP bars I don't know if that was me or one of my pawns, but I was like "Holy shit that's a lot of damage someone just dealt." I don't think it was all me, because I find it hard to believe a downed attack did 3 HP bars worth of damage as a Spearhand, not even my Thief does that much damage on a down attack, unless someone passive on my weapon procced or does more damage to enemies that are knocked down.
>>750131342They should've leaned more into the relationship with your pawn instead of that retarded NPC affinity system
>>750131449Not unlikely it was you, death is extremely weak when knocked down
>>750131578Hmmm, well that's good to know. I wasn't aware that if you knock him down that you basically take out like 60% of his HP.
>>750131449Death only have one 1 deadly attack which you can avoid very easily His ghoul and warg minions are much more annoying to deal with though
What are the best skills for a Mage pawn?
I've put a little over 60 hours into this playthrough and I haven't seen Death once.
>>750131342I really wonder what the ratio is for people who make a trustworthy bro to adventure with vs people who make a waifu to love and cherishjudging by the amount of female:male pawns on the rift its like 1:10 I've had my dwarfbro since day 1 and will never swap him out on new saves
>Get a MA bow with Battle Frenzy III on it >Decide to test it out for fun >Literally does garbage damage even with Battle Frenzy III on it >Use meister skill >Does garbage damage despite sucking up 90% of my HP Lmao. That's either a bug, or they really didn't want MA do ANY damage. I tested Battle Frenzy on a Thief, Sorcerer, Fighter, and Warrior. They all do way more damage, and you can clearly see it. MA though? Literally no increase at all. I got a censer with Battle Frenzy III, which is funny because I don't know why Trickster weapons even get Battle Frenzy when the vocation does zero damage. It'd be cool if Battle Frenzy worked differently on Trickster, like increasing the damage boost your aromatic gives to pawns or something.
>>750131763Palladium, Argent, Levin, the new holy bolts
>>750131783After beating giga satan, kill votex fast af and he will spawn
>>750131783
I reached unmoored world yesterday and this funny af bug happened where the pathnigger appeared next to hugo at the apothecary (previous owner turned his family to sand lmaaaooo) so I grabbed his ass and tossed him down the mountain. he died but the body instantly disappeared.
>>750131763Deific Bolt Argent Succor Celestial Pean High Empyrean High Pallidum High Halidom Benediction (I'd take this over Empyrean, but Empyrean is good for ghouls and in general when fighting at night, which you will be doing a lot of towards the end game.) At least that's what I look for in a Mage pawn.
How is magick archer/spearhand? Seems like it would be the giga nigga of all trades
>>750131847>It'd be cool if Battle Frenzy worked differently on Trickster "Simulacrum" is the trickster clone
>>750128806capcom will probably sell them as addons later down the line.
>>750131979Magick Archer melts everything in the base game in 2-3 seconds. In the DLC it does chip damage to the bosses, and stronger enemies. It's worthless to me in the DLC. I'm not big on Spearhand so I can't speak for it. It's kinda fun, but the damage to me isn't as good as other vocations like Thief, Warrior, Archer, Fighter, etc.>>750132050I know pawns do more damage to enemies possessed by a simulacrum, but I wasn't sure how battle frenzy affects that. I'll have to test it out.
>>750131979MA is nerfed after dlc but i do like using it with my fighter warfarer
>>750131856>>750131965Thanks
>>750131763High PaladiumAgent Concur (whatever that full heal spell name isAt least 1 of any enchantAt least 1 attacking spellHigh Empyrean (seriously some mage pawns need to have that skill more often)Halidom is hit or miss, can easily be played without so your mage concentrate on pure healingCelerity is alright but your pawn will only use it during battles and not regular traversal. Better when you are the one using it.Meister skill Celestial Pean is half a trap since your pawn will cast it too often thus abandoning some support but if you're OP in burst damage its worth itBest Inclination is kindhearted but simple is good too
>>750131959kek>arisen, this is the wretched world you have chos-ACK
Everyone i need your energy!
>>750131979Magic archer is giga damage, but if boss targets you, you are giga fucked.Spearhand is okay damage, but you and your team will be super safe and you have infinite stamina. Also jedi and shit yo.
>>750132117>I know pawns do more damage to enemies possessed by a simulacrum, but I wasn't sure how battle frenzy affects that. I'll have to test it out. It basically lets your pawns have battle frenzy twice.
Is DD2 worth buying now?
>>750132273I love high empyrean so much that I make sure my mage pawn has it set twice even though Im not sure if that raises the rate of casting it.
>>750131959Should've put him in the sphinx bottle.
>>750131828I did both. But pawn waifu is all people do. However romantical or not, it's safe to say people prefer their pawn over any character in the game. It's only natural because you travel with them for the entire game
>>750132528trueee…too bad it was already filled with my beloved and jizz
>>750132375No, do not blast.
>>750132308>Giga damage I've tested out MA extensively in Norgan and with Battle Frenzy. It did jack shit for damage. Battle Frenzy didn't actually seem to even change the damage modifier for MA compared to other vocations I tested. The damage on almost every skill was pitiful.
>>750130170The stat buff is within a range, it can go up or down. And the skills reroll too. You can reroll twice per evil eye, once for your pawns weapon and once for yours. So if you and your pawn can both equip the weapon you can roll it twice by handing it off to them lol
How the fuck did eir and rovall piss off into another world, rovall isnt a pawn and can't just do that, also hes not even arisen anymore
>>750132735The new MA meister skill is where 99% of your big damage comes from. The previous Meister does jackshit on the dlc.It‘s a very weak vocation in both games that depends on specific dlc skills to shine.This is why every noob reads how OP it is and complains it isn‘t.
>>750132812They got library cards and used the magic of reading.
>>750133303The previous meister skill is still strong it just doesn’t one shot
>asked /v/ to rent my pawn>.
>>750131965My issue with Halidom is that it takes too much time away from casting something more immediately useful, and the AOE is very small. I have double recitation rings on my mage pawn and she still wastes too much time if I give her Halidom or Celerity
>>750133520deixe pra la
>>750132812Eir was the one that went into another world to save Rovall. The Rovall of this world is different than Eir's OG Rovall, who died fighting off megaSatan>>750133520Sorry bro. That pawnussy game is too strong. I couldn't help giving her dragonAiDs. She deserved it for being so cute though.
my fetish is telling fencesitters to not play dd2da. they had many years to play dogma and decided to be contrarian.
>>750133520post a pawn code and i'll make them suffer great missjustice at my hands
>>750133659>rovall cucks himselfImpressive
>>750133721check the filename. She'll probably carry your ass with her gear now
>>750131763you still want an enchant, but make sure it's the highest tier one so the pawn doesn't waste time applying it on everyone one by one. +17% boost to your motion value is nothing to sneeze at. nothing really resists fire that badly in the dlc except the gagana and fire elemental demons. you still get a little over a 4% damage boost against resists. obviously elemental buffs don't work on weapons that already have an elemental buff but the gacha weapons can roll a physical damage boost too
Wow I took a break from DD2 to play the new Castlevania (it's shit don't buy it) and when I came back my pawn got hired a ton. Not sure why it says she let me down when she got a bunch of good ratings and even some hearts though.
>>750135347Disgusting pig ears
>>750135347she's cute and wholesome and inoffensive looking
>>750128806>saw different colors of the same outfit>was hoping you might be able to dye armors>nopeI've been blasted...
Whats the best place to farm high WC from dragons that respawn and dont flee mid fight
I'm actually liking Mystic Spearhand but it's damage is really carried by Wild Furie.
>>750135927It's so funny to me that dyeing IS already a function inside the game and you can toggle it with a reframework .lua but they didn't bother adding itJust like the layers of clothing/armor are already in the game as well
>>750136013The drake southwest of Medusa, and the one at the waterfall in the northwest part of Battahl. Easy kills since they don't move around a lot in those locations. Sleep for seven days and they're back (waterfall one sometimes doesn't show).
Am i still on a timer if i'm in Norgan while unmored world is triggered? (all the evacuations and beam bosses are done)
>>750134515I raped her for a bit and sent her back with a trinket
>level up almost all vocations to the max>every single one of them felt like I'm doing no damage and enemies don't even react to getting hit at all they just tank 20 hits >finally switch to warrior>attacks actually kill enemies>enemies actually get staggeredHoly fuck after 40 hours this game is finally fun
>>750137182norgan doesn't effect unmoored in any way
>>750137182Naps in Norgan don't appear to progress Unmoored time.
they fixed it
>>750137282>>750137342wooohoooo
>>750137112The one near the waterfall fled on me once. There's 1 or 2 that can spawn on the beach section of the volcano island too
>>750129856share sliders
Finally got it.
If I do the Sovran ending am I forced into NG+ or do I get to go back? I don't want to redo everything to get to Unmoored and I'm still not done with Norgan
>>750127830>dlc pre order armor>you cant get themAs nice as this outfit is I'm not sure how useful it is because, if you equip it on your pawn before arriving in Norgan, it makes him much more expensive to hire (even if you're at a higher level) and in some cases it’s even removed from the pawn pool of those who only have the vanilla game. I know this for a fact because a group of about 10 friends and I ran all kinds of tests
I've been really enjoying Norgan. I'm up to the quest where you need to go to the library or whatever for the scholar. I got the pritcrystal outside the place but I haven't gone in yet. While I do love this map and the overworld... Where are any of the dungeons? There was one big cave connecting that north east mountain to below the stronghold but that's all I've seen.There is like literally no indoor big dungeon year or really any area that isn't just outside and ruined outside buildings. I've explored well over 75%+ of the map I think
>>750137762Didn't you talk to the pathjanny in the throne room?
>>750137879The last thing I did in vanilla was kill the giant, then I fucked off to the DLC because I heard here that's the point of no return.
So what are the best rings for a Mystic spearhand?
Is arctic or elite camping kit better?
>>750137876The story unlocks more of the map, if you're at the sealed study you definitely have unexplored areas. The cave network you mentioned that connects to the doors under the fortress is a pretty big one howeverbeit
>>750137663https://youtu.be/fEp-z5q7gXQ?is=2OjabULoGHK9PDJeI had to carefully follow along because this faggot wanted to charge for a pdf of the sliders
>>750128806The male is one whatever but female is so fucking cool.
>>750137856Holy fuck that explain why my fresh hard pawn never get hired. I also went and got the new Orienteer specialization for him early level so that prob extra screwed me. Now he's wearing lost rites gears but its probably the same problem. Was lost rites free or you need the DLC ?
>>750131965>Celestial PeanNoob trap skill
Soporific bolt does nothing. I can spam it at any enemy and they don't even slow down. Why do people say this is the OP MA ability?
>>750137402I don't think that really solves the issue. If anything, it introduces more of a hassle (circumventing the timer with a nap at a camp/inn) than the original effort of stocking up on a couple Ferrystones to make some quick trips.If possible, I'd like to see a version of this that has a built in gold cost to using it.Swipe ten grand from your pocket each time you use it, maybe use that cooldown timer as a scalar to reduce the cost of an Eternal use if you go X time without using it. As in it gradually discounts from 10000g to 1000g over 24 hours. Perhaps a conditional cost where a placed Portcrystal is 10k, while a fat crystal is 5k. And you could use it if you don't have the money, but it'll mean you're penniless.
>>750137967You don't have to go ng+ to get to unmoored. The reason it's called the point of no return is because you're forced into unmoored world after the dragon.
>>750138265They are for both sex. It just depends of your vocation
>>750138352Its sleep not slow and you need to charge it for maximum effect.
>>750129856She's missing makeup
>>750138149Don't think it matters, whichever weighs less
>>750138495I wonder if having it on skill slot 6 caused the issue, because I definitely can't charge it
Why can't I inspect any steam profiles of people who hired my pawn?
>>750138632Pity hire aka not real
>>750138632Capcom pity hiring when names are greyed out.
>>750137856>>750138269>Was lost rites free or you need the DLC ?still testing it for now, with mixed results (my friends' pawns don't show up in my vanilla save), my advice is to avoid it until proven otherwise. The silly thing is that the team has included so many tutorial pop-ups throughout the entire game, but something this important has been completely overlooked.
So are spoils level based, location based, quest based? Because I haven't done a single quest outside of the very first one and it started dropping me lv3 gear.
>>750138878Norgan traveled pawns don’t show up unless you search by ID or have been to Norgan so as not to break the balance of the base game until you engage with Norgan it’s not complicated retarded cat poster
>>750139130Quests and location.Some areas that used to drop Lv1 Spoils get upgraded to Lv2 and on after certain parts in the main story.
>set resolution to 1440pstutterfest>same settings, raise resolution to 4KsmoothWhat causes this?
>>750139197>>750137856
>>750139254too many variables, you would need to post your pc parts and metrics to even be able to decipher.
>>750139130Think it‘s a mix or norgan sub-region but also main quest progression. I got some lv3 spoils really early but going through a cave and fighting a couple very tough enemies.But I think as the story goes on you tend to get more lv3s and 4s everywhere, just more at later areas.
>>750138352you are confusing it with shadebind/shadefetter bolt, which is the actual slow ability
>>7501393849070xt, 13th gen i7, 32gb ddr5, W11.Settings high minus bloom, fsr quality.Bet it's something to do with shader compilation or fsr.
Real arisen delete their save file after the true ending Ng+ is bad ending
>>750139607>13th gen i7your cpu is dogshit it's probably reaching 100% usage and start stuttering at higher fps, doesn't happen in 4k because you're gpu limited.
>>750139130Tied to story progression unfortunately
idk what inclination to pick for my archer pawni've been using simple but it's getting on my nerves, i'm just about to take the redpill that voice > gameplay for inclinations (if only shitsuno let us pick separately)
>>750137197Pawns don't have genitalia, they are for hugs only.Thanks anyway.
>>750139254Probably caused by menu bug which cause a vram spike when switching to high res menu character modelTry menu fps fix mod and see if that fix it
>>750139936Use calm
>>750139936Calm is the best for ranged.Simple is just an alternative for your Thief since Straightforward is ass.Pawns are only really effektiv as Mages, Fighters and Archers. Sorcerer are a crapshoot with high reward like always and they don‘t effectively use Warrior‘s and Thief‘s kits as well and spin2win ism‘t as dominant as it was under Strider. Still very good.
hard mode/dlc has completely ruined base game balance unless you intentionally cuck yourself even harder than before.I'm kinda pissed>have completed 2 of cpt brants quests, already level 40>hard mode scaling seems to have evaporated>I'm technically still in early game but all pawns running around in the open world are wearing the type of gear you wear around level 40 on normal mode, so late battahl/volcanic island stuff>if you do the new trials at the appropriate level you power creep even harder because the very first where you have to beat up a few hobgoblins already rewards swords like hexfingeridk man, like sure maybe it'll go back to not being a joke once I enter norgan, but sacrificing literally the entire base game for the DLC was not the move.
>>750140259isn't hard supposed to increase the quantity of enemies as well as their aggressiveness?
>>750140259relax, noob. hard is hard all the way to max level. you're not even in unmoored yet, take a sip of water.
>>750139197>arguing someone who actually does testing with a oversimplified smooth brain point and dare to call him a retardDouble retard
>>750140217thief pawns are insane what are you talking about.
>>750140259I did all quests up to Battahl + a handful of important side quests and I‘m lv28 @ Hard mode.I got around lv40 earlier on my second save @ Hard but I was exploring Vermund needlessly and bosses gave too much exp.Also you‘re not forced to play base game on Hard or just raise the difficulty once in Norgan. I appreciate it serves as a quick catch-up, just use these tools wisely.
>>750138632Don't be a creepy stalker, anon.
>>750140217i'm still mad that the pawn ai wasn't even updated to work with charge speed buffs in the dlc. gave my warrior pawn wicked knight and swift strikes and they just stood there overcharging their moves for a few seconds and then whiffing
>>750140560what skills do you want on a thief pawn?
>>750140576>but I was exploring Vermund needlessly and bosses gave too much exp.I'm not exploiting Vermund, but I'm basically refusing to use the eternal ferrystone and portcrystals that weren't present in the vanilla game.as a result, there has of course been more fighting.
>>750140560Thief pawns don‘t use their kit properly. Gets worse with dlc crazy tools Thieves get.This game is easy even on Hard once you get minimally equipped so it doesn‘t matter your pawns‘s vocation/inclination combo.In 1 some upgraded spells and inclination combos could suck really bad on pawns but 2 has nothing like that.
>>750140753ImplicateSmoke ShroudPlunderSmoke ShroudImplicatePlunder
>People judge the quality of hard mode while still in Vensworth or using dlc gear in base game
I wish canon Capcom pawns like Luksa and Rook would level up. Not necessarily while in your party, but at some point you encounter them again and now Luksa is level 35 instead of 20 for example.Surely this could be a mod?
>>750140826There isn‘t much if you stick to main roads when going back.The main quest only has you traveling to 3 points and just going a lot to the castle back and forth. Otherwise it‘s just Melve which has an Oxcart route and Harve which only has an Ogre and a Cyclops along the way sometimes.You‘d have to get off the grid and explore to find the Griffon, Minotaur, the Golem et al.Then the game sends you to Checkpoint Rest Town after the Coronation. If you go the first trek on foot, then there‘s a whole lot of fucking fighting with the chance of fighting a Drake.
>Furries are all "civilized natives" that suddenly showed up after a global reset.>Lizards are still tribalistic rapemurderers.>Mason single handedly populated all of the blacks in the nation.>Elves live in their own private little island away from all the faggotry of the rest of the world.>White people are all errand boys and foot soldiers and thieves.what did they mean by this?
>>750140964ok can i get a real answer now?
>>750127446what level should I be before doing the DLC stuff?I'm like level 36, doing content in the desert area rn since I got the story quest to go there.
>>750140970>umm it's fine for 70% of the entire game to turn into an even bigger joke without even setting foot into norgan, chudyea no. I like my entire game to be hard mode when I select hard mode, not just the small little pocket of the game. and again, even if you don't equip those trial weapons (from low level trials in the base game btw) the game still gets fucked because you can't control the pawns populating your world not being roided
>>750140980there isn't one for out of party, but there is a mod that makes hired pawns level up in your party
>>750140970It's the "bro this game is easy I just set up a twink build and invade newbies all day long" crowd. The ones that go out of their way to avoid engaging with difficulty that make fun of others for fighting normally.
>>750140970I changed to Hard mode at postgame and it‘s decent enough. The game fights back for a good while before you become a god.I wouldn‘t want to fight the dlc‘s final boss on hard though.Retards baiting about how hard mode makes base game trivial after a while can only be facetious. And even then minibosses at base game will forever put more of a fight than they ever did on Normal since your level matters little in base game around lv50 so Hard mode exp won‘t make a big difference midgame onwards
>>750141119ok but like I shouldn't have to skip the entire game for it to not be a joke. the increased exp gain is just a retarded decision.
>>750141260>you can't control the pawns populating your world not being roidedYou can pick the capcom ones. Those are always trash.
>>750140970Newfags dictate all videogames discussion, if you haven't already noticed.>i hate dark souls, all you do is watch cutscenes
>>750140970>equips dlc armour>uses end game weapons>uhm guys wtf hard mode is easy i'm so overleveledArgued with my friend about it he cried like a little bitch that he's overleveled and downloaded the mod to lower the exp gain. See his pawn and she's using dlc armour and weapon
>>750141391The retarded decision is not to communicate that properly.Hard mode in both games is a catch-up mechanic that sets you up for the dlc zone. 1‘s even rewarded you much more gold and occasional RC.It‘s not a hard mode for those who want a bigger challenge in general. I don‘t think either game tells players that.
>>750141260Hard mode is more than stat bump you know. Go try interminable corridor with volcan weapons or non upgraded lost rites gears. >pawn roid everywhere !!No ? Im lvl 77 and recruit people around my damage/resistance in base game still. You are literally the one who choose his party DD was never hard per say but hard mode is what normal shouldve been in dd2 ( ie. Sort of challenging without being a cake walk like normal game mode crashing down at level 25 for the rest of the game). Theres mods too
>>750141627No, hard mode in 2 is actually harder your level means basically nothing past level 40.
>>750141382>Retards baiting about how hard mode makes base game trivial after a while can only be facetious. And even then minibosses at base game will forever put more of a fight than they ever did on Normal since your level matters little in base game around lv50 so Hard mode exp won‘t make a big difference midgame onwardsah yes, the people who have actually started a fresh save on hard mode and played through that are being facetious, not you who only switched to hard mode during post game and hasnt experienced how the base game plays outand levels not mattering is only true if your gear and level are actually on par, but if you're level 25 by the time you set foot into vernworth, then guess what, your stats are going to account for like 70% of your damage because your normally be like level 10 or 12 at that point and the 80 or so extra strength is like finding a significant weapon upgrade in the early game.
>>750141539nice reading comprehension.i said THE PAWNS POPULATING YOUR WORLD, not the ones in your party, you fucking retard
>>750141539Did they intentionally make them all ugly as fuck? And why do all the men have female names and the female pawns have male names?
>>750141627>Hard mode in both games is a catch-up mechanicthen it should be called catch-up easy mode
The joke is that you will still get two-shot at max level on hard.
>>750141823Halfway through Battahl on a pure Hard save so I can get the Godsway and begin Lost Rites, then dlc.Game is actually better because you really have to play around enemies and terrain no matter your ((level)).Normal mode will always be piss easy in comparison in every point of the game.Even DD1 got trivial on Hard mode way earlier, probably after your first Chimera.
>google some of the VA>pathnigger is a trans writerIs this a meta casting choice
>>750141919>turn off network functions>now it's all capcom pawns in your worldThere. Problem solved. The ground is finally hard enough.
>>750142058ok but the game is more then just the end game and I can't believe you people are ok with 80% of the game now just being (even more) trivial.like, if you like the game, shouldn't you want all of it to matter and be a satisfying and challenging journey instead of just the latest endgame area like some live service crap game?
>"it's easy" bro is in baby village wearing low-endgame lootkek
>>750142160>Even DD1 got trivial on Hard mode way earlier, probably after your first Chimera.idk what you mean, DD2 hard mode becomes trivial by the time you leave Melve and make for Vernworth
>>750142223>I have no self control and have to use broken equipment because it's in my face i see it i use itmonster hunter community would troll you so hard but you're in a dd thread so people are being very charitable to you.
>>750142223Miniboss enemies will Never be easier on Hard than they ever were on Normal at release. Unless you get minmaxxed dlc gear and go back to base game (which the UW Lost Rite dungeons call for)
>guy who has seen 0.00001% of the game: as someone who has seen 100% of the game my opinion matters becauseit doesn't.
>>750142254>low endgame loot being available in the early game and you having to intentionally not equip it is not a problem chudbtw I literally decided against wearing it, still wearing a +2 warrior starting two hander and still melting everything in hard mode in the base game.what do you retards get out of defending this garbage implementation? why does the game throw late base game weapons at you as a reward for a level 20 trial?
>>750142328You will get oneshot by Minotaurs and Griffons at that point. After Monster Culling and some upgrades around lv 25 they are more reasonable.
>>750142223Where was this complain from the first game where DLC gear early on made base game trivial? Who’s forcing you to grab DLC gear first then go through the base game?
>not wanting to swing your blade and see your enemies scatter like fallen leaves in the windHard mode enthusiasts are touched in the head.

>>750142328Dang, you should try playing the game and adding some facts to your shitpost
holy fuck i turned around and got jumpscared
>>750142535I know you think you're being reasonable, but it's time to stop posting. You haven't encountered anything and yet you think you know it all. it's cringe.
>>750129856>>750131243that doesn't look like Grace
>>750142629This is the series you kill Death and true final boss in BBI using 4 consumables and shooting them thrice with blast arrows and niggas want to pretend it‘s some high skill unforgiving hard game.
>>750142685All caps doesn’t change you being wrong lol
>>750142573You need to beat some pretty fucked up monsters to get DLC gear in DD1. Dunno how it works here, since I haven't played 2 yet, just saw this post on page 0 and wanted to chime in
>bro it gets harder>unthinkable. look at me in *fucking vernworth*
>>750142573I hope you're joking, but the DLC trials are literally scaled to be taken on while you go through the base game. they're not some end game challenges you have to cheese. no, they expect you to walk in there at level 20.the alternative is to skip them until you arrive at the end game and then just one shot them all, which is your idea of a better experience I guess?
>>750142709i can't tell if this freakazoid has dragon aids or not... you can't tell inside the rift right?
>>750142685Record yourself melting a Griffon at level 15-20 using a Two-Hander.Not killing, melting.
>>750142810Pretty sure you need to get past the insta gank squad that shows up shortly after you land in DLC at the very least.
>>750142810>You need to beat some pretty fucked up monsters to get DLC gear in DD1You don't need to fight a single enemy to get bbi gear. Just rush to chests. I've done plenty of bbi hard mode lvl 1 runs back in the day. I remember having a second PSN account just to have another save file and not lose my main save.
>>750138149they are the sameelite weighs less
>>750142887The challenges either require the true godsbane blade to either enter or access significant loot.Playing normally you‘d only get it pretty late into your save file. Even if 4 of them are on Vermund, the second one already has an exclusive door gating the Offering Flame
>>750142757>heh you're only 30h into the game and 30+h of the game being a complete joke is super fine and cool because it eventually gets hard at the end gameI never once doubted that the game gets challenging once you enter norgand, I just maintain the position that sacrificing the entirety of the base game to that end is not worth it, and when I select hard mode, it is reasonable of me to expect a hard mode, not a "80% is still a joke but then it gets hard" mode
>>750142887Well idk man bc the lost rites gear prior to unmoored world didint trivialize the game for me, I guess if it’s too easy then just stick to base game gear until you decide otherwise?
>>750142790well sure nobody is as beautiful as Grace
>>750140259shut the fuck up, retarded bitchthe only thing wrong with hard mode is non bosses having too much HP
Is blood pact worth it?
>>750140753plunder
Lost rites weapons are literally weaker than weapons you can buy the moment you set foot in bakbattahl.
>>750143306What happens when you plunder the bosses (william, fallen dragon, satan)?
>>750131701It's kind of a let down that this version of death doesn't insta forfeits the pawns with that attack.
>>750143131The base game on Normal is never harder than Hard at any point.You curbstomp Vermund quickly and then after a minute spike entering Bakbattahl it too gets trivial.Hard doesn‘t make it happen any faster. It just postpones the same thing for a couple hours. The exp gains are offset by HP and stat inflation.It‘s bad like that since release and Hard did nothing to make it better or worss outside the dlc.If anything dcp gains matter much more than the exp boost to make things wonky.
>>750143350i don't think this is true, especially with unmoored lost rites weapons
>>750143168>I guess if it’s too easy then just stick to base game gear until you decide otherwise?i am, but I am arguing that the game designers should not have put weapons that strong in the game that early to begin with.a first time player is gonna equip these and then write a review about how garbage the exploration is because not a single piece of gear they picked up throughout their entire playthrough while exploring was as good as the gear they were given for beating up 3 hobgoblins.idk how some of you can't see how that's wrong. especially for non meta/wiki gamers who'll understandably just equip it and only later realize that 90% of loot in the game is now worthless
after 170 hours im done, ive done everything
>>750142685>i am literally wearing the warrior starting weapon upgraded twice and melting everythingNo you aren't. I started a fresh hard mode save for the DLC and even at lvl20ish I did literally no damage to griffins as a fighter even with checkpoint rest town (mid game-ish) gear. DD1 and 2 have always been very stat heavy, what you're claiming to be happening is literally impossible unless you're using mods
>>750143362you get stuff
Going through the base game again to get to the unmoored lost rites, it really is wild how fucked up the plot is, even without taking hours and hours for side quests in between story beatsWriting quality aside, everything in vermund is hyper low-stakes and just about fact finding and building support, and then you go to battahl and suddenly you're being unnaturally told where to go by the universe janny, have every big concept thrown at you in succession with little fanfare or buildup, major shit just starts happening randomly because the game decided it was time for you to do it, it's insaneThe cut content for this game has gotta make DD1 look like a 10 year indie passion project in comparison
>>750143131Look retard,The real progression of this game is playing the base game + lost rites > activate portcrystal in Norgan > go to unmoored > finish the 3 other lost rites than Norgan for the real endgame along unmoored. Anything else is sequence breaking the natural gear progression
>>750143548This lmfaoLying niggas have no shame.Even the special Corrupted Chimera from that new quest gave me trouble using my topped dragonforged gear because I was playing like a retard.
>when a cheeky dullahan tries to gorillion hit slash combo you and you give him a taste of your tidal rage
>>750143678the evil eyes on hard mode are unbeatable with basegame weapons, even dragonforged dragon crystal gear, the tentacles take like way too long to kill
>>750143450>i don't think this is trueit is true check the stats>unmooredAt that point you're basically done with the game and complaining that it's too easy because of lost rite gear is dumb.
>>750143678>The real progression is (obviously unnatural nonsense steps I made up as a cope for rushed game design), retard
>>750143762yeah they have a shit ton of HP and defenseyou need at least tier 2 Norgan gear
>>750141256anyone?
>>750132221I tried rocking high empyrean on my mage and they didn't use it enough to be useful. It seems like they will not cast it again if the floating light orb is present, and they won't cast it immediately when it fades away, either. Deific bolt is better if you need light damage. Frigor is better if you need a general purpose damage spell, even in the DLC.
>>750143878>>750141256are you on hard or normal?
>>750143416>The base game on Normal is never harder than Hard at any point.didn't say it was.if say it's pretty much exactly the fucking same because whatever inflated stats enemies may have is negated by over leveled and overgeared pawns running around in the open world attacking monsters you're fighting (it's not uncommon for 1 stray pawn to get involved in a boss monster fight) and your own stats making up for it.I'm not in battahl yet, so maybe once stat gains from leveling fall off it'll become more challenging but for now it's a joke.I'm still using Luksa, a level 20 Capcom pawn as my only other pawn btw.and my other hard mode save where I've only been playing as mage so far has also been a joke.
>>750143839unmoored lost rites gear is still lost rites gearalso i never said anything about the difficulty of the game, what?
>>750143131>I just maintain the position that sacrificing the entirety of the base game to that end is not worth itWeird hallucination of a thing that did not happen. The base game is *literally* unchanged.>and when I select hard mode, it is reasonable of me to expect a hard mode, not a "80% is still a joke but then it gets hard" modeI fucking hate the way you type because it's the type of thing that can be easily refuted with massive spoilers, but you are being incorrigible to the notion that the game can somehow *change* across a playthrough. Your retort to every post is "I've seen enough, I know DD2DA's Hard mode is exactly everything I've had so far in vernworth and *NOTHING* else."Anyways I'm over it, you'll see the spike or you'll drop it by then.
>>750143947I am on normal.
which trials were changed in the unmoore world againi remember the one in the coral snakes hideout but there was at least one morenot counting the 3 new ones
>>750140970The main game just feels bad to play now. Heres what I would do just to make it worth touching again;>make NG+ scale in difficulty each time and it randomizes enemies>quadruple the small enemy mobs>have it that you still do the DLC for the loot but the base game keeps getting harder and harder>people can just choose to do it just to see how high they can get the NG+>all pawns are in the same pool once youre at level 200, so people who are level 859 or whatever can still get taken, stats no longer even do anything after level 200>balance hard mode scaling around level 200Unmoored world should feel like your walking through hell and you are Doomguy, it feels like enemies are so sparse and rare in the base game, even in UMW its such a bizaree direction for a game that is praised for its action gameplay to have so few encounters. Like now I have all the DLC bosses medals, I still havent got a few of the ones from base game because you really have to go out of your way to even find them, at least have bounty boards and spawn the enemies in different places when you sleep so you know where to go find a fight if youre looking for one.
>>750144050Battahl gear is enough
>>750143839Does that stay true if you upgrade them?
>>750143742I can't get off tidal rage on Dullahans. As soon as they see me, they turn around and chase my Archer.I think I need to wear both the aggro hat and the aggro ring for them to not piss their pants around me.
>>750144106sweet, thank you!
>>750143990It‘s not going to change much. But knockdown and hp values on hard will force you to fight minibosses instead of brute forcing them head on like in Normal.Game is easy, DLC treats base game as a chore to be speedran as you had 2 years to beat it. Kinda like Iceborne if you wear Guardian gear.
>>750141256Entirely up to you if you mean Norgan. The trial caves are roughly around endgame levels so 40+ is probably fine, but again it doesn't matter all that much. You can gear in Norgan without fighting at all (very minor spoiler for when you first arrive: you can "die" in the first fight you find there and you just wake up in the village there) and even the weakest stuff there is better than all other vanilla equipment. The stats from the gear vastly overshadows your character stats. Plus you get tons of XP from fights so you'll level quickly.
>>750143840Says who, your dumb ass ? Numbers are there to prove it you imbecile>>750143762Its why I stated along Norgan along unmoored as the end game. The order you tackle them is up to you>>750143350No they are not. Lost rites weapon have amazing upgrade stats + dragonforge + special evil eye buff in unmoored
Weird how the loudest opinions are from people with like less than 3% progress in the game
>>750143548>no damage to a griffin with checkpoint rest down weaponsyou must be lying, I deleted one health bar of a griffin in hard mode within like 2 minutes before it flew away. or you've skipped all encounters in the game so far so you're lacking like 150 str you would've gotten just from inflated exp gains playing the game normally on hard
>>750144210>DLC treats base game as a chore to be speedran as you had 2 years to beat it. Kinda like Iceborne if you wear Guardian gear.yea, and in my opinion that's the wrong approach for an adventure game. i can understand for monster hunter since master rank is just the same progression as high rank again except with a few new monsters sprinkled in, but dragons dogma is a game about the journey, and i like being in the journey
>>750143613Yeah, as much as I like DD2's combat, they absolutely shit the bed with the story. And I came in with low expectations because it wasn't exactly a strong point for the first game.
>>750144265>I deleted one health bar of a griffin in hard mode within like 2 minutes before it flew awayNot at lvl 20 with starter gear on hard mode you didn't. Again, DD1 and 2 are both very stat-heavy games. The damage you ultimately do to an enemy is your STR/Magick - their Defense, period. And hard mode is a 0.6x multiplier on top of that.
>>750143678>The real progression of this game is playing the base game + lost rites > activate portcrystal in Norgan > go to unmoored > finish the 3 other lost rites than Norgan for the real endgame along unmoored. Anything else is sequence breaking the natural gear progressionuh but the sequence you listed is exactly what I've been doing and it breaks the base game... your point? i haven't stepped foot into norgan, the first lost rites dungeon already breaks all balance and it's meant to be done at low level
>>750130736lmao I gut laughed at this stupid fuck.
>>750144798this poster has an IQ of 5
>>750144067iirc it's the one that needs the arisen to be an archer since it's full of platforms with water. i think there's a tunnel that goes into the water
>>750144716>Not at lvl 20 with starter gear on hard mode you didn'tI was like level 30 because that's how fast you level so you'll be at that level rhebfirsr time you encounter a Griffin. and the warrior starter weapon is equivalent to a weapon bought in vernworth I'd say, and I upgraded it twice
someone should just vibemod mounts into the game
>>750143613I feel like unmoored world shouldve dropped mid game and you go about doing quests for the different areas which affects who gets saved in the end. It focuses WAY too much on meandering shite, look at the DLC, just a straighforward story about pawn and arisen shit. None of this political intrigue nonsense, it could work if it committed and there was actually something to it, but its pointless and lame.Game of Thrones did irreparable damage to fantasy. If youre going to do the political game shit at least have it have a baring on gameplay an not treat the plot like its a completely seperate element to the game.>we need to get the army on our sideAmounts to nothing>we need the support of the noblesAmounts to nothing>You are the true king of the nationAmounts to nothingNone of it means anything. Its like they wanted it so you become king midway through the game and start running the capital based on who you helped and how then have to deal with the dragon and Battahl/neighbouring countryLike I got more character from the expedition in the DLC than Brant, because were actually doing stuff with them. The guys that had cutscenes have less going on than these goobers who are just out here doing a job.
When do I get artifacts that aren't level 1? Are there locations where it's always higher level, or is it literally just a gacha roll every time? I found "ancient" relics, but they seem to still be level 1 crap with an extra ability.
The first drake I fought took me literally an hour to kill on hard mode not sure wtf those retards are talking about muh overlevled. Granted I had no archer with me and it was flying half the time but still let's say it would've been half an hour.
Have all the good mods been updated yet?
>>750145067you should git gud
>>750145067>every hit staggers you for 20 seconds>enemies give 0 fucks when you hit themyep that's dd2
>>750144957Around lv30~40 stuff like Griffon are very manageable on Hard already.But on Normal you can face these dudes the first time you come across them and fare decently. You will get oneshot on Hard.This game is like that, Hard didn't make it worse than it already was. Come endgame stuff will put up a fight due to the sheer HP bloat they get + knockdown resistance.It used to be you began stunlocking everything to death in half a minute.This game would never have offered any kind of meaningful challenge even if Hard mode was never released.
>>750145067Please make it a rideable griffin or some shit that can fly because 90% of the world map is mountains and steep cliffs
Are there a limited amount of evil eyes fights per playthrough?
why did everyone remove celestial paen from their mage
>>750144957Yea anon I'm not sure what to tell you but you're completely full of shit or misremembering what gear or level you were. 10 or 20 levels make very little difference since you're getting 2-7 strength per level. The difference inbetween a "starter weapon" and checkpoint gear is hundreds of strength so the math ain't mathing and math is what ultimately decides damage in Dragon's Dogma.I fought the griffin outside of vernworth at lvl20 with a once-upgraded almace and tickled it to the point of fighting it not being worth it, so the likelihood of you "melting it" with an upgraded starter weapon isn't in the realm of reality. Unless, of course, you're telling little white lies about what level you were, what gear you had, or being on hard mode at all. Them's the brakes. Anyone is free to test this, and I'm sure plenty of people who started fresh hard mode saves for the DLC can echo my sentiment
Stop giving your pawns the devil horns that’s MY thing!
>>750145067Average warriorcuck when they don't have pawn meat shields
>>750145339where do you get the devil horns
>>750145107A lot of noobs just outright lie to each other about the game for attention hoping no one notices.
>>750145326NTA I had big trouble with some of these enemies around lv20 but even at Lv40 with Lifetaker they became much more manageable.Monsters take a fuckload of extra damage when hit at their weakspots and Hard mode makes it even more important because I think the damage caused on normal parts is reduced due to how damage calculations work or something.
>>750145234>Hard didn't make it worse than it already was. Come endgame stuff will put up a fight due to the sheer HP bloat they get + knockdown resistance.Hard mode doesn't change any HP values, it just multiplies your damage and stagger by 0.6 People seem to forget that dragon's dogma, despite having action combat, is still a very stat focused game.
>>750145193Ikr? I hate that I have to constantly watch my positioning and think about my actions mid combat it’s fucking gay
>>750145184no, sadlystill waiting on Dullahan...
>>750144232>Numbers are there to prove it you imbecileYou may genuinely be retarded
>>750145482So is it just DD1 hard mode basically?
>>750145451nah, hard mode is a final multiplier, it doesn't affect the strength/magick - defense portion
>>750145283noob trap
Death turned into a big harpy bird?
>>750145326>I fought the griffin outside of vernworth at lvl20 with a once-upgraded almaceI hope you're joking>I fought this monster that doesn't give a shit about ice with a weapon that is impossible to get fire enchanted by my pawn and it barely did anything!I think you're underestimating how much element contributes, especially when it's a weakness
So what weapon skills should I be using with Mystic Spearhand?
>>750145549Yea but without the drop changes.
>>750145596how is it a noob trap? pawns take forever to regen their stamina without it. i wish they could eat harspud roborants but they refuse to eat that shit. they don't even eat panaceas, i have to stuff their bags with miracle and exquisite roborants. goddamn fussy eaters
>>750145482>>750145549>>750145647wrong
>>750145617No that's different enemy
>>750145646why can't you use your own brain to determine what seems good? in this game moves actually have very obvious properties beyond damage numbers that communicate their worth you know?
>>750144089lol what? Did you even play UW on hard mode? There’s encounters all over the place with brine powered enemies now that even mix in, I see random pawns that walk around getting into fights non stop. It’s sounding more and more like some of these nigs haven’t played the game for some reason
>>750144798They only break vensworth a bit if you rush the first lost rites quickly. You have to farm late game monsters + repeat lost rites to upgrade them and they still wont hit as hard as volcano weapons on normal
Any increased FOV mods that work after the dlc?
>>750145635Poor attempt at a scapegoat. The strength differential between an almace and a trusty sword more than makes up for ice doing less damage to a griffin. Even if it didn't, it's not like this is a solo game and I was an entire party of fighters with almaces. At lvl 20, no pawn did damage to the griffin either.
>>750145754pawn stamina is irrelevantthat's why they don't use stamina recovery stuff
>>750145646Play it and get a feel for it. What you should know is that you NEED to use your R1 bolt thing, it is how you can cancel those long combos as well as set enemies up for easy finishers, if you dont use it youll find youre getting knocked out of attacks frequently.
>>750145793Not wrong at all
>>750145824>for some reasonbecause they haven't
>>750145096I can't believe Fable 3 did a better job with the reclaim throne concept than DD2. And I hated Fable 3.
Too much in my backlog. How's hard mode? Worth a new game?
>>750145909i have a mod that displays pawn stamina and they always get to around 30% then stand around waiting for it to get back up. i think cloudburst shot just fucks up their stamina something bad
>>750145890>trusty swordok so you didn't read my posts where I clarified over and over that a warrior starting weapon is not the same class of starting weapon as the starting weapons ar the very beginning of the game
>>750137402What is this retardation? Why do you need a mod for that? Just limit usage yourself, or are you a fucking monkey?
>>750145813name
How far into the DLC am I if I'm past the part with the three riddlesI'm getting tired of blasting off, honestly
>>750146013if a poster seems more retarded than normal assume they are 18 (gen alpha)
>>750145964>hurr durr hard mode is just more HP and damageextremely wrong, you stupid nigger
>>750143613>>750145096The story could absolutely be told better, but it’s like no one even pays attention to what The Pathfinder or any of the characters say lol he literally lays out multiple times that everyone has a role and everything is predetermined, and once minor roles are done said characters don’t matter much, but the Arisen has such insane ridiculous willpower that you’re fucking everything up that’s been pre ordained. Then UW drops and keeps building towards the payoff, you nerds played how many hours of souls games with even more nonsensical stories you piece together, but this much straightforward one is the one that throws you for a loop?
>>750141260Nigga just throw the walking pawns off a cliff, DD is a stat based RPG where you make your own fun, im so sick of fromsoft fags invading every series where there is sword combat
>>750145995>How's hard mode? Worth a new game?nah, you're better off continuing your existing character and then switching to hard mode going into norgan, the base game hard mode experience is pretty much the same as normal mode
>>750146001that's probably more to do with pawn AI getting more retarded after the recent patches
>>750145646The shield and stamina drain skills are basically core, everything else depends on your tastes and whether you're running NG+ or using a mod to get those benefits during NG
>>750146078You got a lot to go
>>750144526DD1's story worked pretty elegantly because it set the stage for a modest fantasy adventure with a simple and understandable progression, remained mostly focused on combat and actual adventuring rather than busywork, and let you dig up a ton of more specific lore and worldbuilding in side quests, many of which were very memorable in part because of that
>>750146003The warrior starting weapon, two-hander, has 80 strength. A trust sword has 75. An almace, for example, has 162 (+80 magick). You're just wrong
>>750145067I didn't realize they added France to the game
>>750145823>tLDR>yes, I'm a tranny loving faggot so I can't answer this very simple question Thier you go bro
>>750145995not without bestiary and dullahan
Is Battle Frenzy really that good?
>>750146098Hard mode is a 0.6 multiplier on your damage and knockdown power. That is it. Unless you're talking about xp/dcp changes or something. It does literally nothing else to the gameplay. I'm not saying this is a good or bad thing, but this is factual. Idk what you're on about dude.
>>750146142See this is funny because that's not actually the plot, and not even the part of the story being referred to
>>750146148>stat based action games are not allowed to be more than a numbers game despite having the word action in them and a mode called "HARD" mode aaaiiiieeeI think you might be retarded bro. i don't need the game to be elden ring but it would be nice to he happy about an upgrade instead of thinking "well if I equip this the game is actually gonna be less fun because enemies won't have time to fight back"
>>750145548You said nothing of value. Shut the fuck up and stop posting and go watch syntheticmanlet
>>750133520lmao your pawn has rift aids
>>750146329nta but this site claims it's 0.9x
>>750145824Yes. Im currently sitting on it on my playthrough anon, you have to do it to do the final Lost Rites dungeons. The base game is too easy to the point where its tedious doing this shit.Im not talking about "but it throws 4 skeletons at you every 5 minutes" Im talking that it needs to throw 40 fucking skeletons at you constantly when you leave the seafloor shrine or its not a threat, I can have a casual saunter around UMW because there is no danger if you have DLC gear. >but thats not balancedYea, thats what Im asking for, its suppose to be hell, spawning 4 brine corrupted saurians is not a threat anon, i am at no risk of losing that fight just because they can take a hit without dying instantly.
>>750145096>need the support of the army>need the support of the noblesWhen did this happen lolThe premise of “earning support” is just an excuse for side quests
>>750146187>same experienceWrong
>>750146239ok and 10 extra levels as a warrior + the weapon at +2, + fire enchantment instead of cuck cold?I'm pretty sure the two hander far out damages your almace with a fire enchantment and 10 extra levels lol.not to mention motion values which are obviously much higher on warrior than fighter
>>750146329>That is it.what's it like being so incredibly stupid? how do you breath?
>>750146361It was thesame thing in dragons dogma 1 dummy, you might be retarded if you think the expansion that is called Dark arisen wouldn't just be dark arisen again
>>750146329It makes the enemies more aggressive and changes placement, changes even more in UW too.
>>750146375>Nuh uh acktually they want you to do the dlc in unmoored even though they physically do not let you do that unless you go there first and it literally breaks continuity to do so because that's what the numbers say>no it's not possible that they designed it for endgame character levels that people would be at in ng+ because... because it just isn't okay
>>750146523nah. it's the same, you just negate the 0.6 multiplier by being oveleveled at all times. result is not noticeably different.
>>750131847>Magick Archer Just shoot the green arrow bro. You're a healer class.
>>750143613I for one think its great that dim witted nogs like you get absolutely filtered by the insanely BASED story of DD2.No I wont bother breaking it down and explaining to you in a manner akin to a disney movie so your smooth brain can understand.not throw pearls before swarthy swine fags n shiet.
>>750146331Pathfinder is the reason you even escape slavery, and pulling the strings in the background the whole time, literally controlling other characters so everything goes according to his will, you might have to replay the game on youtube pal.
>>750146539>ok and 10 extra levels as a warriorLike 50 extra strength; still lower than the almace> fire enchantment instead of cuck cold?The cold enchantment doesn't lower the STR damage of the almace moron. Griffin resisting 50% of the ice damage just means the 80 Magick is effectively 40 magick dmg. I'm sure the fire enchant makes a two-hander do relatively similar damage. Even if it did slightly more that's not a difference of me doing no damage vs. you "melting it" like you keep claiming
>>750146690Enemy aggression is noticeably different, literally played last night in UW on hard mode.
>>750146565>erm it was always a shit implementation so you can't call it out for being a shit implementation yet again even though 90% of the fandom has voiced their disappointment about how itsuno had 13 years to refine the game design but didn't
>>750146585No it doesn't, that's a myth. The guy who made CDT was in these very threads taking a look at the scripts of the game and found nothing to suggest that. Until someone can prove otherwise there's nothing but "I feel like they're more aggressive..." claims from random anons to imply that enemy AI was changed.
>>750146847>>erm it was always a shit implementation>thinks shitsuno directed dark arisenHoly secondary, fuck offDragons dogma isn't for your kind
>>750146875I get it now, you’re retarded
>>7501392541080p is the magic number4k is 1080x2 so it's fine1440p is a mental illness720p is fine though
>>750146585>>750146808aside from them being more aggressive they come in bigger packs too and the respawn timer is loweryou are almost guaranteed to run into a boss or 2 at those semi random spawn locations
>>750146647>norgan gear break the main gameTheres no way of getting around that you omega stupid contrarian fuck. Lets see what you pull out of your ass this time dumb cry baby game enjoyer
>>750146875>No it doesn't, that's a myth.you haven't even played itfuck off, retard
>>750147006Seek inner peace.
>>750146747ok now add motion values and the fact that defense/hp values on monsters is the exact same on hard mode and there's just a 0.6x multiplier on damage meaning this narrative that you can't even hurt a griffin on hard mode whereas you could've easily taken it on on normal makes no sense if we're merely talking about a 40% damage reduction PLUS the fact that a lot of people have killed a griffin in the base game before going to rest townmaybe you should stop hitting its legs idk m8, knoll breaker to the face staggers, wings set on fire staggers, and the execute on a warrior does 30% of a health bar because of its massive multiplier
>>750146965You can repeat that all you'd like but that won't change reality anon.
>>750147067I'm playing it right now. I'm not even shit talking the game you weird dumbass retard. I love DD2. It's just an objective fact that hard mode doesn't change enemy AI. Feel free to prove me wrong by inspecting the scripts of the game.
>>750147079I knew you had nothing to say. Folded like a cuck
>>750147006>norgan gear breaks the base gameno, the level 20 trial reward located now in the base game already breaks the base game
>>750147209nta but isnt making enemies more aggressive alone a change in the ai? I mean they most definitely are more aggressive, never I seen the minotaur charge back and forth so many times as he does now, just one example.
>>750147094Can you tell me what exactly changed on hard mode?Indeed Ogres and Cyclopes have few health bars, my assumption hard mode buffed HP values was I didn't remember drakes having so many.Just by playing my feel is enemies take less damage other than weak spots and knockdown defense values are waaay higher. Juggling shit on Normal was way too trivial after a point.And of course you take much more damage but I don't think enemy knockdown is affected.
>>750147274nta but I think you have long revealed yourself to be a massive cuck by seething this furiously and uncontrollably at what is a very soulful and fun (a blast even) video game.
>>750147305>nta but isnt making enemies more aggressive alone a change in the ai?Sure? I'm saying that hard mode does not make them more aggressive, though. >never I seen the minotaur charge back and forth so many times as he does nowI'm going to need better proof than "idk they feel more aggressive" This is like the "pawns are smart and learn from you" conspiracy from DD1 all over again.
>>750147297No it doesn't on hard mode. Read the thread or actually play the game. So much people talj through their hats here its not even funny
What's this guy's problem? My pawn is right there. Tried talking to him without pawns, too, but he says the same thing.
>>750147094>that you can't even hurt a griffin on hard mode whereas you could've easily taken it on on normal makes no senseYou should try fighting a griffin at lvl 20 on normal mode with the starting weapons of a class. You'll find that you are woefully misremembering how this game scales.
>>750147396See>>750147545
>I don't have numbers to prove it so it isn't real to meImagine being this retarded. It must be very painful.
>>750147451They’re more aggressive dude, it’s obvious if you’ve played the game, you need more proof? Play the game, I’m not the one that needs convincing after 100hrs on hard mode
>>750131847>I don't know why Trickster weapons even get Battle Frenzy when the vocation does zero damageThey also get blighted/chaotic/KO strike, where the descriptions specifically say they can trigger when dealing damage
>>750147545I'm not even wearing the trial gear and I'm already trivialising the base game on hard mode thougheverbeitlyI'm >>750143990Have you started a fresh save on hard mode? Or are you talking out of your ass and are just assuming that's how it is because the first 3 packs of Goblins you encounter in the game happen to hurt quite a bit? By the time you get to melve any added difficulty from hard mode is over (until you enter the dlc continent)
>>750147593wasn't me who claimed that you could reasonably take on a griffin at level 20 in the base game but can't hurt it in hard mode. I'm merely responding to that claim
>when chuds hate a game they just come out and say it without any hesitation.>when trannies hate a game they larp as chuds pretending to hate the game while trying to spin a new distorted narrative.why are tranny faggots basically jewish?
these threads have quickly approached ninja gaiden tier level autism it's kinda funny>people bitch that dd2 is too easy for 2 years>launch week is nothing but people bitching about it being too hard now (kek)>now threads have people saying lost rite gear trivializes the whole base game despite it being equivalent to mid-game gear>other people bitching that lost rite gear trivializes the entire DLC too (it doesn't)>other people saying lost rite gear is too good and trivializes the DLC (it doesn't)>other people saying lvl 1 DLC gear completely trivializes the DLC (it doesn't)>tons of other people that don't know about the ephemeral key gear and it being almost as good as endgame DLC gear (and even this still doesn't trivialize the DLC)it's like dd2 is flanked on all sides by insanely quick to perma aggro hyperautists who latch onto some random
>>750147837Im sure the whole game is trivialize at your curent power level lmao
>>750147965meant to say>wasn't me who claimed that you could reasonably take on a griffin at level 20 on normal mode but can't hurt it on hard mode. I'm merely responding to that claim
>>750147717>They’re more aggressive dude, it’s obvious if you’ve played the game, you need more proof?I've played 300hr of the game pre-DLC and have over 100 hours in it post-DLC and enemies absolutely are not more aggressive. "I feel this way" is not proof. Again, the creator of CDT was in these threads on launch inspecting the game for changes and found they did nothing to enemy AI.
>>750148063>>wasn't me who claimed that you could reasonably take on a griffin at level 20 on normal mode but can't hurt it on hard modeI never said this
>>750148060>now threads have people saying lost rite gear trivializes the whole base game despite it being equivalent to mid-game gearok let me break this down for you.base dd2 was easy. so easy in fact that it still would've been pretty easy had you stuck with an upgraded mid game weapon (think backbattahl) until the end.now with the dlc, you can get a weapon stringer than a backbattahl weapon (a weapon you can reasonably take to the end of the game and not run into problems because that's how easy the game is) in rhe very early game.yes anon, even a mid game weapon can make the game too easy. the fact that an end game weapon would make it even easier does not change his fact
>>750148164well guess that you’ll have to cope with the fact that the enemies just FEELING more aggressive is enough for us. how about that faggot?cope!
>>750147006Norgan gear breaks the main game because the game is designed poorly, not because they intended for it to do that, you fucking retard
>>750148061why are you selectively ignoring things literally addressed in my post such as "until you enter the doc continent"?could it be because you're a disingenuous fsggot?
>>750148303This exact scenario was good for 13 years when DD1DA did it with BBI
>>750146730>um if I argue against something nobody was saying then that means I win haha
>>750148386Norgan gear "breaks" the main game because it's better and clearly designed to be better, retard. Do you grind to level 99 for superbosses in JRPGs and then complain that level 1 areas are now "broken" and the game is designed poorly? You're such an idiot it's unbelievable, genuinely
>>750148060Not one single person has said any of those things, you may be dyslexic
>>750127446making my way through the DLC. Im surprised that the story has me actually intrigued. the dragon new looks nasty
>>750148386Have you ever seen a late game expansion giving shittier stuff than the base game? My God the IQ and arrogance of some of you
>>750148501DLC is level 40, and is literally(literally!) incompatible with unmooredPlay the fucking game
>>750148060>ephemeral key gearRedpill me on this. Is it part of the trials?
>>750148438according to you I guess. I never liked it and I would've liked for dd2 not to repeat the mistakes of dd1, as I would have assumed everyone else would, because even people who love the game tend to acknowledge it's flawed, but now some people are using "but it was like this in dd1 too!" as if it's a counter argument when everyone wanted a dd1 but with the flaws addressed (of course what any one individual considers a flaw may differ from person to person but poor balance is one of the main flaws for me)
>>750148642>late game expansionlol
>>750147837>By the time you get to melve any added difficulty from hard mode is overdefinitely not truethere is a point where you will outscale hard mode and things will cease to be difficult, of course, but getting to melve and the entire game being a cakewalk wasn't even true for normal mode. i still remember getting to battahl the first time and running into garms and finding them basically unkillable. hard mode just shifts that forward a bit. by the time you'd naturally get to volcanic isle, nothing is super hard anymore unless you intentionally skip upgradesif you're going out of your way to get the best gear in the game and upgrade it as such 10 hours into a hard mode playthrough you have nobody to blame but yourself for trivializing it. level 40 on hard mode is like 10 hours of playtime
>>750148403>by melve the whole game is trivialized>huhhh cept that whole continent
>>750148673>DLC is level 40, and is literally(literally!) incompatible with unmooredWhat are you even trying to say here
>waah it's too hard>waah it's too easyYou control the pants you wear.
>>750148828>the numbers autist can't comprehend the concept of level 40Incredible
>>750148749Yeah thats right. Prove me wrong
>>750148929Am I speaking to an ESL or something? What are you even trying to say by typing "DLC is incompatible with unmoored"
New /v/ is painfully retarded and it's genuinely sad.>yeah sure bro let me take a look at files *after* the patch when all the comparison data is missing.>woah wtf nothing changedhard mode adds about 83% more enemies and variants to the entire game.
>>750148814hmm I wonder why you're now putting words in my mouth like "whole game" when I chose my words with care and said "base game"not to mention that the whole base game being trivial IS a problem and I just can't imagine a world where a person who likes the game thinks 70% of the game being trivial is somehow acceptable or even a good thing. I just don't get it. what do you get out of the majority of content not being meaningful? how does it improve the game? nothing is gained by it.and what would be lost by making said part of the game meaningful? do tell how more parts of the game being worthbengaging with somehow makes the game worse. because it you don't think that it does, then we should be on the same side. but for some reason you find yourself rebelling against the idea that all of the game should be a fun adventure as opposed to just the latest dlc endgame area.
>>750149035who are you even talking to or quoting

>>750149265Why would you be able to start the DLC in the post apocalyptic UW and what does that have anything to do with gear and level progression which my post was about? Are you accidentally replying to the wrong person or something anon?
>>750148568
>>750149134Try hard mode with no mage, you' ll see what really trivialize this game. Its doable
>>750149134I think first you need to convince me why DD2 difficulty should be a sweatfest to begin with when I already had an absolute blast, personally, with it as is.
>>750149282i was in fact attempting to understand you by asking you who you're ranting about and/or quoting
Who should I use as the last pawn, archer or sorc if I'm a warrior with a mage main bitch and a thief side hoe?
>>750149576No you were thickheaded. Still are.
>>750149710ok
>>750146730>pulling the strings in the background the whole time, literally controlling other characters so everything goes according to his willAnd they had to add in a post-hoc explanation to completely alter his motivation into actually being a test the whole time because him doing that for basically no reason and then getting mad at the consequences would have been genuinely a massive plot hole otherwise lmao
>>750146730The reason for that is that a guy named phaeseus somehow learned of the true nature behind the cycle and is trying to break it. If you think everything is truly preordained you didn't get the story. Whats meant by that is that no matter what the arisen is supposed to oppose the dragon to keep the cycle going, which is why the pathfinder intervenes in the first place. It doesnt mean that the arisen was supposed to lose their memory. If it endangered the predestined fight arisen vs dragon the pathfinder helped you out thats it
>a 2nd dlc traveling back in time to where vermund was ruled by the people who built the trials and the talos titan
>>750127446
>>750149497The difficulty was never the problem itself.Compared to the first game the map area is huge and if you did take your time exploring it, you'd very quickly get overpowered for the respective zone you were in: Vermund, Bakbattahl, Volcanic Isle.Unmoored World kept a semblance of challenge with a few special enemies but its timed nature and reuse of the wide map felt like there was nothing to really use your dragonforged stuff as a proper end/postgame.But how the conversation went from these minute balance issues to the game being at fault for not being as difficult as Double Dragon is beyond me.It's rad af to finally melt bosses after you got augments, gear and levels. The problem is you reached this point too early compared to the general ratio of gameplay length it offered.DD1 sand BBI ended up more or less by the time you were trivializing things. Warriors would take 5+ bars out of Grigori without a lot of minmaxxing. And it was okay.Maybe the BBI - Dark Souls parallel poisoned the well.
>>750149425That's explicitly what you're doing, yes
>>750149802Dismissal doesn't make you smart.

>>750150140It's usually correct and it's pretty funnyNot sure about this time though since I didn't readI will just assume the DD2fag is wrong as usual
>>750150332Jap autism
>>750149497>I think first you need to convince me why DD2 difficulty should be a sweatfest to begin withnever said it should be, as stated here >>750146361 >i don't need the game to be elden ring but it would be nice to he happy about an upgrade instead of thinking "well if I equip this the game is actually gonna be less fun because enemies won't have time to fight back"if you weren't disingenuous you'd understand that there's a middle ground to be had and no game that features mechanics such as resource management can ever benefit from being trivially easy and you can't convince me otherwise since these mechanics by definition are about friction, not to mention that things such as the fast travel system are clearly designed not to be frictionless, so why do you think having no friction in the combat is somehow what dragons dogmas essence is?
>>750150397>DD2 fagso you don’t like DD2 at all?
>>750150338just before moon tower
>>750150338By the time you go to battahl at the very minimum, probably a little later. I wouldn't worry about being "overpowered" for it. Even if you go in with the best base game gear you will get fucked up

>>750150361I don't disagree with the tweet itself it's just posted in completely inapplicable situations constantly
>>750150456Oh I like it, I was a tad bit disappointed it ended up being a sidegrade instead of an upgrade of the original, and the direction it went doesn't appeal to me specifically but it's still one of the better action games out there and I would vouch for DD2 to become the industry standard 100%It's just that DD2tards tend to be uppity, gay and jewish
>>7501503941. Skill Issue2. You're thinking of oldgen monster hunter or DD1 before you discover the jump lights, warrior in this game has like half a dozen different mechanics to play with

>>750150452theres nothing to convince you dumb nigger. in fact I truly hope you continue to seethe and hate this game and to never ever cease your seething. Youre the one throwing a fit trying to convince others to join you on your mentally ill seething. The difficulty of DD2 and its expansion is perfect for what the game is, simple as.

All these shitposts ragebaiting and nobody touches the single shitties fucking point in this retarded gameThey gave the Meloirean Plate no matching helmet. That cyclops meloirean barbarian thingy doesn't count because it shares a name.

Is there anything viable to pair with a fighter? I tried making a fighter/mage paladin-like but it just doesn't work out with how long casting takes while you're trying to tank. Basically, I want to keep using sword and board but occasionally swap to something else. Maybe archer or something?
why is vermund so kino and battahl so shit bros what sense is there in this tragedy?

>>750151956As Warfarer? It use it with mage buffs all the time. Or Archer/S&B as a Ranger of sorts.Casting offensive sorcery spells while pulling aggro is bad like you said, but the occasional anodyne/empyrean/weapon buff is okay if you don't want a mage pawn as a full healslut.

>>750152031Personally you're acting far more uppity and gay than anyone else. You're in a thread for a game you and other people like, attentionwhoring with "well yes I like the game, but I'm better than everyone else that likes it because.. uh... uhm.. jews and faggots!"You stick out like a sore thumb and smell like summer
>>750152031there's two guys itt that just go "AIEEEE YOU'RE A HATER YOU JUST HATE HATE HATE THE GAME FOR NO REASON YOU BIGOTED CHUD" whenever the slightest criticism of the game is mentioned
>>750151956When I first played DD2 at endgame I was running Sword & Board with compass slash, the counter guard, rearmament and sagita avalanche.Then equipped a staff just for levitation purposes. Was the best way to play the game back then.
>>750152031bro you’re going in circles with your seething my guy. you bought the expansion even though you dislike the main game.surely you are able to self reflect and realize you bringing about your own misery, right? nah course you cant lmaooooo! good hope you remain miserable nigger.
>>750151827I love how the pawns praise this as if it is the smartest idea anyone has ever thought of. They're all dummies.
>>750151887Maybe in the sense that it can be controlling, but religions got pretty complex and ended up very present and visible in most aspects of society in reality, shinto being that low-key is kind of an anomaly
>>750151956Bow is very good. I played most of the dlc with sword and board + bow.
>>750152098I know you're histrionic friend, that's why you're a dd2fag>>750152130consider >>750151659>>750152171yeah it's grim>>750152191I like the game you wet cunt, I dislike some aspects of it, but mostly dislike retards like youGod you should pour melted glass on your throat for being such a faggot
>>750152064Well like right now, I just started NG+ hard mode and went to Norgan. The enemies are noticeably tougher, but not insanely so. But I have to actually focus on not dying. But I do keep dying, because shit hits the fan quick and I have to stop tanking and then start healing, then the wolf just munches on my hand and I get killed by something else. I can already tell if I was just a fighter and had a dedicated mage healing, I'd have no problem. It just seems sub-optimal to heal and tank in this game.
>>750152243>arisen: *jump attack*>pawn: not gonna lie, the greatest shit of my life, I never seen that until now.
they really didn't bother at all retooling the ui for the additional moves. like you could've just made it two rows of 3, but instead you tacked on the extra 2 on the side there. and then during combat it feels like the bottom right button binds are overlapping in a way I can't even tell what's on what button combination just from looking at it
>>750152243I wouldnt have thought of trying this if a pawn didnt suggest it
>>750152171>muh criticisms why no one cares about muh criticisms?!!! reeeeeeeeeewrite capcom a tear stained letter ya faggot.
>>750152290>no you
>>750152373you clearly careas do your fellow faggots, as evidenced by your insane malding and seething over a rando saying "dd2fags are usually wrong" kek
He was jerking off, wasn't he
>>750152354They're in the corners bordering two of the skills because those are literally the two buttons you need to press to activate the skill
>>750152290>reeee this games makes me seethe soon fucking hard arghhhh reee>aktually I like this game>argghgg this game makes me seethe sooo fucking hard arrgghhhhhh! >aktually…free yourself you mind shattered buck broken kneegrown
>>750152308the pawns are constantly lying in this game and it pisses me off.wouldn't be surprised if their comments about other arisen they've traveled with have nothing to do with what adventures they were taken on at all and are just random flavor text
>I will just assume the DD2fag is wrong as usual>thread derails entirelylmao
would you a sphinx?
My arisen has a party of three beastwomen pawns. Don't ask why.
>>750152373lmao you're such a fucking losergo on reddit if criticism of the game makes you disintegrate so much
>>750152454the blushing always looks so ridiculous
>>750130535Every time I debate playing this game I see someone say "Yeah the main game still sucks just go to the dlc" and I lose all interest.
>>750152009Humans and elves are based and keep their main roads mostly safe.Dirty thieving cats are stupid scammers and let every corner of their territory run amok with lizards and goblins.
>>750152429? all I see in this thread are larping tranny faggots who will always stick out like a sore thumb seething at what is a very good and BASED video game.
>>750150725it makes your pawn deal more damage and have insane knockdown and knockdown resthey will blow up the whole town if you rest at it while they are fully taken by dragon aids, but the problem is that eternal wakestone exists and will revive the whole town in a click of a button. you can also dupe the eternal wakestone at ibrahim's so it's basically 30k a pop to rest in town
Do rings actually do much. Like the bow proximity ring, or the augments strength ring, or idk any of them really.
>>750152652why does your arisen look like jack
>>750152595>reeeee accept my dogshit mentally ill opnions and views or you are le redditnah dont think I will faggot
>>750152560"I couldnt fail but notice that our party is entirely comprised of women, Arisen"
>>750152765dragon=chaos
>>750152680more than augments which are like 5% tops that's for sure
>>750152291just buy roborants and heal yourself with items. it's not worth wasting the skill slot or cast time to heal yourself with a spell. gold is a complete meme in the dlc since you don't spend it to get gear and you get so much of it
>>750152787>
>>750151826Not my ripened figs !!
>start a run to try hard mode>pick thief instead of fighter>fight random pack of goblins>first time I've ever had to actively engage with the combat of the game
>>750152652>I'm obsessed with a bideo game and can't hear any complaints without dilating>I'm totally not the tranny thoughkys
>>750152509they are just larping. they will clearly know where to go because they've already experienced the quest, but if there's a puzzle, they'll just wonder aloud about what to do without telling you what to do. the pawns are basically (your) handlers and tardwranglers as they are godlike interdimensional travelers who cannot die, they are just pretending to be retarded to humor you
There's a weird personality that uses constant shit-talking as a type of socialization hoping to "win people over" to "their side". By constantly ragefarming they can use the negative emotion to earn a seat in someone's mind, thus, in their worldview, resist being made less than.By being "constantly thought of" they can go to sleep at night knowing that someone is "thinking of them" even if it's due to them being subhuman. That's what gives them security and peace of mind and so on.Obviously it hurts them to know they ar ethis desperate so they mask it by attempting to control narratives, but they can't really do a good job because all they know is "be wrong -> get attention" they don't have time and energy to acquire skills or sufficient information to engage with people in a mature and rational way. All of that energy is spent on verbal diarrhea that are more or less distorted cries for help. "Save me... Please..." Then people tell them to fuck off over and over. Sad existence, really.
>>750153208If this was actually canon it'd make them more charming
>>750153174>muh complaints! reeeeeeee I have muh complaints arghjhh reeeeee!>*buys expansion*L M A OMAO A M L
>>750152976Yeah that's more optimal. But I was hope to roleplay as a sword and board healer. The guy that's tanking and healing, basically being the hero of the party. It just doesn't seem practical in this game. But frankly, if everything just worked, it would probably be a shit game.
>>750153230"I wonder who this anon is referring to in this analysi-->750153385oh ok nevermind lol"
Is there a mod to reduce xp gain in hard mode? If so what should I set it to not make it too fast but also not tediously slow? I did a hard playthrough on dlc release and I basically skipped the entire pawn system because my pawn outleveled everyone.
>>750153394isn't the traditional healer like, idk, a priest or priestess in robes with a staff? i guess you want to be a paladin but yeah it's not really practical unless you can find a mod that integrates it into the moveset
>>750153485of the 30 posters in here there's like 6 people like that
>>750152640Because most people are too lazy to reroll a new character from 2 years ago and they absolutely need to rush the new content because of FOMO. Hard mode + lost rites made the base game way more enjoyable for me. Also the more you play and learn all the little sequence break you can do add to it for me. There's probably 6-7 different ways to cross the border for Battahl for example. People like to shit on battahl because the main quest shits the bed there but theres actually a lot of quests to do there, they are just really more obscure to get some started like getting the regalia sword from a noble in vensworth to lead to the whole blacksmith side quest in Battahl
retarded anons shouting at each other
>>750153675>posts better game
>>750153509Yeah a typical healslut should be a woman in robes but I was going for the manly paladin. It seemed interesting to be in control of two "support" roles like taking care of aggro and healing, but it does seem stupid saying it out loud now. It kind of worked through unmoored world but it doesn't stand a chance in Norgan until I get better gear maybe.
>>750152878People dont understand damage calculation in this game + weird misleading item infoLets talk just in base game stats value;Strength/magick attack rings give +30 damage each. So does the augments from thief/sorcerer. If you add them up it gives you 90 bonus damage. Now 90 damage seems like dog shit doesn't it ? But in truth if you deal 501 damage and enemy resist 500 so you hit 1 per attack. Now add the 90 damage boost and you deal 91 damage. Thats moreso how it work. So pushing your damage limit even by a few have huge benefits but less so now in the DLC with bigger weapon stats.

>thread for discussing dragon's dogma>someone discusses it>NOOOOOOOOO YOU HAVE TO TALK ABOUT TRIVIAL SHIT YOU CAN'T SAY YOU LIKE OR DISLIKE ASPECTS OF IT>AIEEEE IS THIS FACTS AND REASON AND LOGIC I'M HAVING A BLAAAAAASTT
>>750154081Its for the pawns nigger almost nobody hires anymore at high levels
>>750154313>Hexdrinker*Hexfinger, fucking league
>>750154313I’d say early 300s since thats what I did and thats with me doing every single quest and traveling on foot many a times instead of using ferrystone and coach.
>>750154429Nah its because you use preorder armor and most people playing are actually high level. Read the thread before asking stuff thats already been posted double nigger
>>750127446Will I like this game if I am strictly only into turn-based jrpg's?
>>750154526stay out
>>750154526Only if you like using potions and not hoarding them.
>>750154526Well its a pure action RPG anon...but a fun one. Maybe you should get the new FF resonance of fate that just came out. Heard good things about ir
>>750154517The stupid niggers having breakdowns in this thread might've also cooked your ability to read. Nowhere have I mentioned anything about gear. I wanna start a new game. I already did a playthrough and Im level 400 and the rift is almost a barren wasteland. I wanna play on hard however you level up almost every fight in that bitch
>start game>pick thief>use the dashing move thing>wait theres no lock on>lose sight of who Im trying to hitDo I seriously have to be a fighter
>>750154313>Ignore everything that isn't a questbut is that fun to you?>oh no I have to run away from the mobs instead of fighting for fear of over leveling!idk man... that just exposes a big flaw of the game imo.
>>750154675Pre-order gear makes your pawn hiring cost jump up. Maybe going to Norgan early too, some anon is testing stuff rn. Again read the thread you stupid spoonfed moron
>>750154710You don't have to, but you should.
>>750154675nta, just play normal my guy. normal has normal xp rates, and you'll see endgame is just lots of experience points anyhoot. difficulty ironically only makes it more difficult. This game cares about gear, not levels.
>>750154792I wanna be fast and zoom around though. And also actually be able to hit flying enemies.
>>750154710shame that move feels so much worse compared to the first onethat and helm splitter (jumping beyblade move)
>>750154675>I wanna play on hard however you level up almost every fight in that bitchI hate having a mod a game in order for it to be playable but I think going hard mode and then installing a mod that drops the exp back down to at least normal is the way to go
>>750152652Just because you spent 2 years coping with the flaws doesn't mean they aren't negatives to anyone new to the game
>>750154828>I wanna be fast and zoom around though.Burst Strike>also actually be able to hit flying enemiesCloudward Slash
>>750154745That's a misconception. Only newfags care about levels because they can't afford RC.
>>750154313>Go to Norgan then ferrystone out>Start UnmooredI thought you can't do Norgan during Unmoored
>>750154675I said dd2fags are always wrong, you didn't believe in meNow there you go with them giving you useless advice that is unrelated to your point and/or dismissing what you said by pretending you're retarded like them
>>750154808>This game cares about gear, not levels.that is only if you ignore half the main game.the stats you gain early make a pretty big difference especially since weapons are weak.diablo, gachas and mmos have cooked people's brains to where they think it's fine for only the end game to be a reasonably balanced or worthwhile experience
>>750154974You can. You just need to activate the portcrystal there before heading to unmoored. Resting there also doesn't pass time in unmoored, thanks to kinoshita
>>750155054Shit that's wacky
>>750154974norgan is completely separate universe from unmoored, it's kinda a gay implementation but what can you do.
>>750154997seethe moaaaar nigger!>reeeeee muh complaints muh criticisms listen to meeeeeee reeeelmao too funny fr bro
>>750155004>guys cries he doesn't get hired>tell him probably why>you come around and have a proxy-meltie
>>750154757You might genuinely be brain hemorrhaged >>750154808Nah, I did enjoy hard mode for being less forgiving. It forced me to be more careful against the minotaur in vernworth for example. This gear thing is bogus for my case, you simply don't get what I'm saying. I'm aware that gear matters more, but it doesn't matter ultimately if I'm level 30 by coronation already. You start missing out on hires real quick because the average gamer plays normal and is not that high level. I know that for a fact because I already did a playthrough on hard
>>750155004No hate, but I think you're projecting. If the game is hard, Making it easier of course will make it less difficult. Using a stronger enemy on an enemy will always make it easier. It sounds to me like you're trying to make hard not hard before playing it, which means you should be playing on easy or normal.
>>750155259>Using a stronger enemy on an enemy will always make it easier.*using a stronger weapon
>>750155187>>750155210what a pathetic cuckthis shit isn't even funny anymore
>>750152308I love it when they do that.>goblin flies off a cliff>"The ways of combat are myriad indeed.">"That never would have occurred to me.">"UNBELIEVABLE!"
>>750155259Uh... what?I'm making hard not hard by playing on hard which causes you to overlevel quickly in the early game which is somehow my fault? I don't follow.
ok all these morons using mages with ring of reversal + benevolence need to actually try using them in combat. not only are they slow as fuck in actually casting anything because no cast speed rings but they also do nothing except spam anodyne and ardent solace on themselves because they keep thinking they are dying. just use the goddamn gigantus vim helm + 2x hp ring, the mage's magick stat barely matters and gigantus vim has only a very small effect on your magick anyway
>>750155427>isnt funnywell…personally I am having an absolute blast, personally.
>>750155429Pawns will lose their minds when I throw an enemy off a cliff but they'll have no comment when I behead a golem and the roll its head down the hill into the ocean.
>>750155559>behead a golem and roll its head down the hill into the oceanThat never would have occurred to me.
>>750155559I'll have to tell my own master about this!
>>750155434Again, all you get from 2-40 is roughly 100 points of strength or magick stat. you're not "overleveling". Hard mode adds various penalties to the game such as tripling knockdown resists for large enemies, which is why everyone was trolling the griffin guy earlier.
>>750150394Did no one tell bro about Swift Strike and Wicked Knight?
>>750155212Why do you need your pawn to keep getting hired when you're done with the game pass lvl 200+ ? It doesn't matter dude. The PC playerbase is already small enough compare to console and I don't think having a micro-community -MOD- hard capping themselves like its a soul game is a good idea. Beside if you change save slot only your current slot have their pawn active in the rift. At least its what I heard so dont quote me on that.Id say if you do all contents on hard in the base game including lost rites you'll end up in the 80-100 ball park before the DLC, speaking from my experience
>>750150394What else is there besides warrior?
>>750150394>attack>missSeems like a you problem
>>750155559You've given me much to think about.
>>750155765>get wicked knight and swift strike>initially think nothing is happening>dont realize the attack chargeup finishes before the fucking animation doespeak
