VIDEO GAAAAAAMESi'm gonna need the game to give us something other than red beastmen for gaolsi also got 6 stonesword keys from 2 PoIs lol
500+ hours later and still nothing came close
>>539028446What depth are you? I assume since you have the ragequitter it’s pretty low
>>539028531d3 and like two wins from 4, I've lost like 3 times total. also MIYAZAKIIIIIIIIIIII LET ME HAVE IIIIIITTTTTTT
>>539028589It's rly good yeah, I need to check my relics if I could fit it in
>>539028494>no improved charged sorceriestrash
Does having multiple domant powers stack or nullify eachother?There was a game I couldnt stop getting greatshield but I literally fond no halberds whatsoever
>>539028857i got that passive, but this trash game never given me good spells with it..
is anyone not in depth 5 yet? names please.
I miss varreposter...
>>539029046Sneedterrarian Raskolnikov
>>539028454you're beautiful
>>539028885>equip dormant power helps find fists>find one fist all gamedid i get scammed
>>539029046meThree times denied depth 4 by 5bar, 8bar and 3bar rando teammatesalmost happened with erg too
>>539029123Do you think she left because of that bbc edit
>>539029254Are the balls and star fist as good as they are in vanilla?
>>539029254I mean... technically no? I'm still finding the gear I want more often, but it's still unreliable
Me as Recluse and who? https://x.com/BaldurFool/status/1953777558677307656
So how does cancelling out a shitty dormant discovery work again? I just need another dormant passive on a relic to the left of it?
>>539029886MeI'm literally Wylder irl btw
>>539029410she left because she took her meds. unironically
>>539029886fuck off hopeless tranny porn addict>>539030040you are brown.
>>539026302>>539028454I fuck anons who look like this.
>all resist down vs madness heolstorperhaps I should make a preset without this
>>539030040Hot.>>539030239You're next.
>>539030321cute bigroko
sup /erg/haven't played the new mode, anything I should know before going on?did any character get ULTRA buffed or nerfed?
>>539030503wow..thats literally me
>>539030548Recluse's magic cocktail damage got mega buffed, very worthwhile now at least until you get one of the best possible spells to spam.
>>539030410slit your throat and die bleeding already you are unwanted by everyone everywhere, so do the world a favor and kill yourself
>>539030548https://en.bandainamcoent.eu/elden-ring/news/elden-ring-nightreign-patch-notes-version-1022here's the innate class changesfor depths stuff refer to the spreadsheet
>>539029123>>539029410>>539030134Don’t talk to yourself thanks
>>539030750>wydler hook>blood lossis this actually enough to triger a blood loss proc?
>>539030750wait the actually gave in to the memes??
Bros I just ran this loadout. I had fuckall for drops but a white staff with Adula's Moonblade. But once I legendforged it? HOLY FUCK the damage was great considering my build has -8 INT. Super fun build, top/solid performance with ANY item.
>>539029410we killed your gemmy so you know a fraction of the pain we felt when you made us lose our real gemmy
>>539029886>>539030410>>539030503>>539030548Jesus Christ talk about being constructed on the molecular level for BWC!
>>539030503too brown
>>539029254dormant power only has about a 30% chance on some bosses so you can easily have a streak of not getting one
>>539030853Most nightlords are either 154 or 252 for the first proc. Trash mobs are much less. It's not a bad idea to bring it, but it's not necessary.
>>539029886>>539030410>>539030943Get back in containment worthless maggot
>>539030853if you have 2 uses and depending on the monster sure
>>539030750Wasn't there something that got datamined which gave a fp charge and damage increase to rev? what happened to that?
>We wipe to Maris>Don't lose any ratingHuh?
Does this balance each other out?
>>539030750>translates to 12 iframes at 30 fpsbut the game runs at 60 fps you nigger
>>539031316That's a red weapon effect that anyone can get. I haven't seen it once though.
>>539028885It uses the dormant power closest to the left.
>>539031118Don’t repeat back to me what I say to you before I cave your skull in you nasty faggot>>>/co/ntainment
>>539031330It doesn't cancel but if youi're farming well, you'll have your ULT up all the time.I run the same on my Raider loadout and Ultimate Art Gauge +3 helps a lot. The debuff is 15% and Ult +3 is a 10% buff and 5% isn't really something you feel, ESPECIALLY when gaining 7.5% per kill or whatever.
>>539030503damn, didn't know the cesspool of faggots were still terrorizing the thread, sorry guys. I'll keep type B images to myself
>>539031317it seems the rating system is about as retarded and convoluted as the duel ranking system
>>539031330>>539031481With this setup I have had two stelas up at once before, that's how fast you can charge it
>>539031479>nasty faggotRich coming from you porn addicted pajeet
>>539030503>>539031595SAAAR DO NOT REDEEM THE RUNE ARC
>>539031683>spamming raider ultwow I hope to GOD i never get you
>>539031735I like women. You like men and are brown. There’s nothing rich here (certainly not you).
>>539031815>OH NO KEEP THIS +30% Damage buff + Massive AoE Phys and Stagger that casters and Ironeye can cliimb into and safely bomb people from AWAY FROM ME!Don't worry anon, it won't hurt much when I ram my massive gravestone up your tiny faggot ass.
>>539031776i don't get this angle, are the browns projecting against the trannies or something?
>>539030661All you ever do is whine and complain, so you're going to get punished. I'm going to forcibly drain you over and over. >>539030943Recluse is made to carry in deep of night and made for BWC
>>539031949wow thats a lot of effects anonyou know what trumps all of that? BEING UNABLE TO HIT THE BOSS WHILE IT HITS YOU BECAUSE THEYRE FUCKING INSIDE OF IT
>>539032052Yeah that's a skill issue. Don't run right up and try to gravestone sodomize it and it's fine, the AoE is huge.
>>539031461So if I have my Greatshield deep relic to the left, I will get all greatshields but no halberds, while if I put my halberd relic on the left, I will get all halberds but no greatshields?I mean I can get both presets no biggie, but it still kinda sucksI suppose I will use the greatshield one for most of bosses, and use the halberd one against Adel and Caligo
>>539032156No lol its still rng. You can go all game with no drops or get a bunch. Have fun.
>>539032254
>>539031997So true sister!
Living up to it's name, holy fuck what a rapestickgg, even ED version would've fucking melteddid you try soloing libra after clearing the curse?
>>539032156Yes greatshields no halberds, sorta.When you loot something that gives you 3 choices it goes30% your dormant power 70% random weapon100% random weapon100% random effectDormant power changes that 30% to whatever you have equipped, for you its Greatshields.
>>539031882Only jeets talk about BWC because they know they'll never be white, you're not fooling anyone ranjeet>>539030410>>539031997Shit yourself disgusting troonoid
>>539032463you can get two do thing on charged attack passives on a single weapon?
Is there any specific relic effects I need before I try the new mode or can I just JON MADDEN with Wylder like usual?
>>539032516So effectively having more than 1 Dormant power is pointless, right?I'm better off switching one of my dormant power relic for something else.Out of curiosity, can you have 2 Dormant powers on the same relic?
>>539032586>Anon always telling me to shit myselfIs that what you're into? Anon telling on himself
>>539030656Wait is Recluse REALLY that buffed?Is there certain relics I should get on her? I always wanted to play her
>>539029410MaybeI miss her big fat buttery cellulite nasty ass. I'd glue my face to it.
well fuck me sorry for ruining that heolstor. i'm going back to just playing normals/everdarks this game mode is too difficult for me
>>539029410She probably got the attention she wanted and moved onto another game and general.
1/3
>>539033020nah you were fine, i ran out of FP and healingthats why i wanted to get that rise next to the zone after night 2 but couldn't get the seal in time
>>53903291840% damage increase on nearly every cocktail. It's wild. Meanwhile Revenant got uhhh translarent vfx on summons lmao. They literally die instantly on depth 3 and above. Oneshot. I'll never understand why From gets these random hateboners for characters/weapons in their gamed and just refuse to buff them.
>que for depth 3>deaddamn figured saturday would have people
uhmm dlc..
>>539032586Lmao lovely brownoid cope Rajinald. No more attention for you now. Refer to >>539031479 and post your bibisi tier list or something
>>539033020I'll probably do some non depths tonight. I know someone else was asking for it yesterday.
>Really enjoying the mode, but it's too stressful>Depth 2 is the perfect difficulty for me to relax and still have fun>In Depth 3 and I'm not having as much funDepth level picker when?
gg adelthat was one of the runs of all time
>>539032586that doesn’t even make sense. you are one deranged loser.
damn you really need to not die at all to get any points
i wasnt ready to play dutchess sorry bross
>>539033842got 300 for only going down once earlier in d3i think if you go down a lot but still clear you get 200if you're in a depth lower than your actual level you get like, 50~100
gg adeldon't steal my crits
>>539031997>>539030410stroking
>>539033909I've been playing above my current depth level but got downed a lot the last two games and it only gave me 50
>>539032915jeeters can’t get poop off their minds please understand
>>539034371i think it's to prevent being carried. If you're above your level and go down a lot you also get nothing. I understand it, I guess.
>>539029142kys mushjeet
>>539034527Hmm me thinks they should just limit matchmaking in that case but then discord kittens would cry
>find weapon with atk up at full HP>curse it continuous HP lossorz
The player "Kikyo" throws tantrums and you would do well to alt+f4 if you see them in your game. This person pingspammed the team and then started acting strangely when we did not respond immediately to the pings. They began hanging around the battles but pointedly not helping at all. At the end of the day 2 boss, this player threw the fight and then simply ran around avoiding the boss in a bid to waste our time. They even started emoting, as if they were making some kind of point. I've been playing for over 300 hours and have never seen a meltdown. It didn't really piss me off that much but it's floridly toxic behavior. Kikyo is out to waste your time, even at the expense of their own.
no daughter-wives but gg nonetheless
>>539033997Bro at least run Dark Night of the GAPE if you wanna crit lots
>>539030503give the recipe pls..
I think this will be fucked up strong.
>>539035780slot 4 seems bad. dex and int are both spellcasting stats
birdbros...?
>>539035925Anon, My respec relic gives me +12 Int. I can spare a little.
>>539035993playing as guardian doesn't feel very good in this gamemode where everything almost 1 shots you and enemies can break your shield in like 1 hit
>>539035780>>539036084>>539035925Seriously. -4 INT is less spell damage than +10% which is what +2 Sorcery gives you and I +12 INT in the other slot so...Seems fine to me. Could be even better but it's close to perfect given the drawback is tolerable/not noticable.
met the first good exec from erg today we had a smooth libra run on depth 4.
gg goat would it have given it to us if i had went down as well?
>>539035780get some +4 magic attack instead of the incantation and we're cookingcan you get sorceries and magic attack in the same slot? combining that with extra damage on ailment would make super rare insane relics possible. +2 on frostbite +2 sorc +4mag painive found a lot of +4 mag with nothing else thats good on them. too bad i dont like casting. might make a meme int raider build.
gg fulghor loving the oblivion difficulty slider 6x damage depths mode
god, you suck!
just girly things
>>539032660hes got a bleed effect on clawshot ability that is very good.
jesus that invader camp and amount of negation they did not give me
>pop ironjar aromatic with Raider >still chunked for 90% by a random attack from Nameless King
>>539036187what if you have one of those shields that auto activate endure if your guard gets broken
>>539036546Nah I'm keeping the incants one because I'm running the relic with +12 INT +12 FTH. I like the option to use Incants and want the build to be balanced. I much prefer loadouts that can work with whatever cool shit I get rather than ones that are hyper focused but low on variety.
>>539032656not ok
>>539036563gg i got oneshot even with 40% damage negation on full hpalso pretty cool we got a 2nd night boss, haven't seen those in a long ass time
>>539036187You have to steel guard 100% of the time so it becomes executor ictarus parries but worse.
>>539036627does the game say anything about what nightglow is?
>>539036523dont think so the defat usually triggers insta while it takes a few sec for game to register the boss death and give the win msg
>>539036523nah i had a revive, otherwise i would be playing like a pussy sending piss sprays
>>539036694nameless king is filtering my randoms harder than anything else in the depths
>>539036791Kinda in the name bruv. Context clues are there to solve it with the arm and his lore.
>>539036746>i got oneshot even with 40% damage negation on full hpkek
I like Elden Ring and Duchess.
>>539036715never seen one of those, but I imagine you're gonna get 1 shot anyway
>>539036891>>539036694>Nameless King is still raping players almost a decade laterPure lvdokinoHe's the god of war after all
>>539036825block me if i throw this one
>>539036891>nameless king is filtering my randomswhat_year_is_it.jpg
>>539034126Good boy. Cum for mommy.
anyone got some modded but legit relic setups that are too sick to even think about?
>>539034126Don't cum, retard
>>539036791The glow of the Golden Order still shining through the Night despite it all. Which is also the theme of his bossfight, with his glowing weapon overcoming his night-corrupted arm.
>>539037172it would just be a bunch of good deep relics but with -stat passives you don't care about
>>539037152almost got destroyed by dancer earlier. our wylder 6 barred her. same on caligo after but it was k>>539037230he's right you know
>>539037064I prefer Gwyn's family over Marika's.
If I've never done the new moe, should I queue with pubs before joining /erg/?
>>539037064more like pure shitters getting exposed when the boss isn't instantly stunlocked to death kino am I right or am I right
>>539037248Think its the night glow effect on the arm itself, hence the name. Pretty spot on about the rest with him conquering it.
Lighting on precision aim is op
gg horse boys. day 1 was sorta rough but we did it lmao
>>539037003Me too
What's up with all the Guardians in Depths? They don't play well
>Don't play too much>Finally get to Depth 3>Get 2 Duchessesess who 6 bar to the day 1 boss>-400 and back down to Depth 2Well, depth 2 is pretty fun so I suppose this is okay.
watching youwy play d4 solo and it's crazy how much less health mobs have, solo is definitely shitter mode
GG Libra we won't talk about KindredStr Duchess feels pretty good.>>539032796Yes more than 1 dormant is useless but it does mean you can use relics that have that listed to chase a specific relic effect without griefing your setup.
>>539037371play here so we can farm easy D1 games for 50 points
geeg adel, that round was rough
>>539037551lol
>>539032656Yes>>539032918All Recluse cocktails got buffed by 42%Its not something to dedicate a build to but it does mean firing off 3 magic and 3 fire combos are a good use of your time.
All the victor records are Ironeye and Wylder kek
>>539035084kys Groomer-Pedo Anon.
>>539036546>>539036727I could run this if I wanted to be a big ol' SORCERY guy I guess. >17% more Sorcery damage>Magic Sorcery would deal 27.5% more damageSeems strong but I dunno.
I am sorry for swiping those seals at the start Revenant but they had successive attack on them, forgive me.
>>539033362>brings up xher's shitted fetish out of nowhereGo back you putrid freak >>539032915>>539033686See >>539030661
>>539036627>no reluse>fulghor Holy hardstuck Depth 2 shitters.
godefroy is lowkey the hardest night bossthat crucible tackle oneshotted even outside of depths
>>539037874Whoops. Pic related. I've also swapped the night invader relic for something else for a Max HP on Ult that has FP on Rise because I'll wanna be able to just DUUUUMP
Are you ready to rock, Shadowlands?!
You can totally negate the negatives of Recluse's dex repex relic with just a few +3 Int/fth effects
Who else has had the misfortune of playing with shiftyduck the 3 bar floor hugger
>>539038016>godefroy is lowkey the hardest night bossguess you havent found gildfrey the golden yet
Who else has had the privilege of playing with shiftyduck the nightlord raper
So you guys were spoiling for a fight when I said birdman is going to be shit even in the depths update with the new relics.Are you guys crying now? Guardian is still shit
Do the effects stack multiplicatively or additively? Because I have about 1.52x magic damage if it's multiplicative, add on Terra Magica and Blood Rites and it's double damage.
>YOU HAVE TO KILL EVERY RED MOB ITS ALWAYS WORTH IT>NO YOU DONT UNDERSTAND YOU NEED THAT BLUE WITH IMPROVED GUARD BREAKING, PROJECTILE DROP OFF AND CONTINUOUS HP LOSS
good or no
good try team
-350god FUCKING damn
>>539038661this but unironically
>>539038353On the same relic as that dex Recluse buff I have Magic Attack +3 and it puts it at slightly more damage than the nerf.
>>539038424>>539038632i did today and we had a great game where we won
>>539038691looks good berdbrain
finally won (solo ofc) with rot on not max hp and poison too from a weapon, shit is ridiculous. >do this 5 times for depth 2lolno
>>539038637Do you look like that?
>>539038691Looks good but you should test out if the +quality -vig actually gives you more damage or lowers it, because you are using hp guard counters. You might be actually losing out on damage.
>>539038914No I'm an old man actually
>>539037710GG
>>539038914maybe
It's funny how we used to meme about griefing and now it's become a very real and game ruining thing.
>>539037710>>539039129Shifty, what's your Rev build?
>>539038661this this this so much this
Shifty who's your favorite erg anon?
>>539039129guardian wishes he could rez like this
>>539039180Post the grief blocklist so we can block them and prevent them from queuing in the erg password.We must purge the erg password of all evils.
>>539039129why the fuck are people doing invader camps at level 4 ; w ; do people not know that in addition to the depths stat scaling they also get additional night scaling? like wtf
>>539039301Sneedger
the dlc costumes...where..
>>539039486Duchess is not a white woman
>no depth 5 unlockable costumes for each characterHoly SOVLESS.

>>539040037With these new relics it's possible to have a lot of faith as wylder and then using seals is valid so what do I do wrong?
>>539039391It's literally free to gank a condemned away from the boss even at level 3. This is just a case of horrible teamwork, you can see rev go feed wylder mid attack and bird stances horribly when he could have whirlwinded to stagger them both
>>539040039Liar, I'm at 1/3
>>539039215Currently this, but I've also got a decent arcane ruin relic so I'd like to try an arcane build if the stars align>>539039301Not needger

>>539039891Post one (1) that looks like this
>>539040037I've played with sludge a good dozen times and he's never griefed.
So what are the Dawn skins supposed to be? Darkness makes sense, its the Nightfarers if they fall to the Night, but what is Dawn then? The current default ones are already fighting the Night so it's not that
>>539039391>>539040249I can stunlock the condemned with rejection which works very well until it doesn't
>>539040346It’s a homo being mad at me for some reason. I’ve lost track of the lore
What all scales Executor's katana? Now that Ironeye has stolen my only role I'm tempted to just go full meme and stack as many scalars as possible plus vig/hp.
>>539040284There's plenty
>>539040273Wow, those left relics are insanely good. How deep are you and how is Rev holding up?
>>539039720I'm getting bored of shattering crystal every game but it just works.
>>539040278i know right?
>>539040584chin and jaw too big
>>539040710shes basically adel
>>539036694Doesn't ironjar increase lightning damage taken? Probably why.
>>539040278The on-hit buildup one is alright, but the below max HP is terrible, because of how much damage everything in the depths does, drinking a flask often won't heal enough to stop the buildup, so you have to either drink again or get rotted.
>>539040494No I realize that, it's pretty broken, shame people usually ignore her starting seal, just giving some constructive criticism
>>539040584Is it ugly on purpose?
>>539040521>sludge still thinking about me kek And nah, it's not me. Multiple people don't like you, that's why you are seeing this happen. Fuck around and find out, I guess.
I LOVE MY DAUGHTER WIVES SO MUCH
GG on Adel Wylder and ExecIt's pretty crazy how it turns into a no hit run when you play Ironeye. I actually got killed by 1 of the tiny, TINY thunderbolts WITH crimson bubble tear ON.PhewweeeeThanks for the carry.
How is a bow with barrage on wylder or executor any different from playing ironeye?Why play ironeye at all?
>>539040602I'm at depth 4, shes holding up fine but you need to play a lot more strategically and the summons are mostly relegated to revive machines >>539040939Ah fair enough
>>539040992brother you had ZERO (0)! damage negation effects on ur weapons
>>539040710>posts someone that looks like thatt-that doesn't count! >some incel cope babble I accept your concession. Duchess is clearly based on a white woman. This isn't even an argument. >>539040975Well she's Amer*can, she can only look so good with that in mind.
>>539040935It’s so annoying because my magic atk+4 and dormant staves relic has it and I keep coming home from work tired, reworking my relics and putting it on.
>>539040273Why do you use +3 vigor and +3 faith instead of something like +maximum hpAlso how often do you have sex?
>>539041165Because Ironeye has arguably the best skill, ultimate and passive in the game.
GG HeolsterStr Duchess feeling great
gg recluse and dutchessnever had the map modifier where you cant see shit on the map. I assume that wasnt a bug but we got rotted woods and seemed like we all had good loot RNG.
>>539041263LISTEN DUDEIf I’m gonna go down in one hit regardless I’m gonna MAKE SURE my RAIN OF ARROWS does 1.5k damage a volley.
>>539041309Duchess has the best passive, but other than that you're right.
Now the dust has settledIs this game good?
>>539041309Wylder has more health so he wins purely on that. Vigor is the most important stat.
>>539041473lol no
>>539041473Very good but depths mode is a certified dud.
>>539041473Overwhelming so, even the "haters" can't stop playing it Another fromsoft W
>>539041360>>539041382ggsyeah it tells you momentarily when you load in, when you're playing a no map markers round
>>539041165Because FP is not infinite and barrage is not that good. Actual regular bow shots and precision aiming is faster on Ironeye. >>539041309His Ult doesn't hit as hard as Wylder's, but it's better for multiple targets.
>>539041473Surprisingly yes very much so.Such a pleasant surprise.
>>539041473My only complaint is there's no practice mode for bosses and enemies and the boss runback is 40 minutes. 40 minutes is like the time it takes to go from the Bronx to Manhattan.
>>539041473after 1000 hours i can confirm its unplaybale dogshit
>>539041473People with hundreds of hours will tell you no, but they're just be lolsocynical 4channers.I was a skeptic at first but honestly the loop is genuinely really fun and addictive. I think there's a lot of things people wish they'd done better, but at the end of the day nobody would care if the base loop they have wasn't so good. Worth the money for me, and unless the DLC is a travesty I'll happily buy that too.
I don’t like the no-hit mechanic. I’d rather bosses just be tankier.
>>539041769>I don’t like the no-hit mechanic. I’d rather bosses just be tankier.Just play the normal mode as Guardian then.
>>539041769bird bros...
I don't like getting 1 shot in the depths as revenant
>>539041915i dont like getting 1 shot in the depths as wylder
>>539041473i like it a lot, one of my best game purchases in a long time
>>539041185Okay that's about how I've been playing her in 2 and 3. I'm glad she's still doing good. >>539041473Yes. I love it so much. It's so fun. If it gets some DLC and some other things, it will be so good. It's already number 8 on my most played Steam games at 430 hours. The characters are some of my favorite characters and designs of recent times. Revenant and Wylder might be some of my favorite designs period.
>>539040989I wonder if the artists self inserts as Wylder or Revy
>>539039727best time to do them really. later and you dont get use out of the weapons without a min level
gg d4 no map ed horse
>>539041473Yes tho sometimes this game feels like a skinnerbox
>>539042220Incomprehensible to people who don't like "high" risk high reward
>>539041473It’s not that bad of a concept. Could be better in a lot of ways, but it’s alright and fun. I’ve sunk 700 hours into it
>>539041769I think they went a little overboard with the damage scaling, BUT, it also shifts the value of effects around which is precisely what I think a higher difficulty should be doing.It shouldn't be>"normal" mode is all about full damage to stunlock the boss and burn through its health before it can do much>"hard" mode is the exact same thing just with more health to burn throughAs it is, because if you just go pure damage as much as possible you're just going to get clipped by some little aoe or side swipe from the boss and down it means you genuinely really need several layers of damage mitigation to prevent that. Nobody can literally just no-hit every single run, that's just unreasonable, so the meta shifts to preventing stuff that now one-shots you from doing so.As it is it's>"normal" mode is all about full damage to stunlock the boss and burn through its health before it can do much>"hard" mode is about finding a setup that allows you to do decent damage to the boss to avoid a war of attrition while achieving enough mitigation to avoid being a constant 3bar clown because you got clipped by 3 bullshit hitsSo stuff you might have ignored before (eg grabbing a greatshield + a guard up passive somewhere) is now something you might genuinely want to consider.
>>539042354skinnerbox?
>>539042354Most games are skinnerboxes lolthough I guess you have a point that you shouldn't be noticing the skinnerbox
>>539041473I took a break from ER and haven't even looked at gameplay for NR. Can you que with randos? And if so, how's the experience? Is the game good for solo play?
>>539042474Basically a term for when a game is very grindy and requires a lot of time investment to play, and sometimes with no tangible rewards.Yes I'm saying this after a run with literally no greatshields nor halberd drops.
>>539041915>>539041959then use more hp and damage negationits almost as though people haven't played rpgs before. trying to brute force super duper hard mode won't work.
