>>559897214>patch v1.04 (newest one)>numerous complaints of game not starting after updateGrim. I'm gonna wait for v1.04.1
This grapple looks so goofy and yet it is probably the best one in the game.
>>559898238hobo lookin armor
>>559897214He's a big cat
>>559898238i thought all grapples have the same dmg
>>559893892I've almost never used the bow or guns because of Ninjutsu. Easier to toss a couple Fire Shurikens and Shrapnel Bombs at dudes instead since they're virtually unlimited compared to only being able to carry a couple arrows/bullets.They should give the ranged weapons a development pass to make them more interesting tools.
>>559899313A lot of non directly aimed stuff just won't reach sniping harrassers though, especially when they're vertically offset (which is almost always).Of course you can reach all of them, but it's kind of a pain in the asshole to have them sniping you rather than just kill them preventively.And for that use, rifle feels optimal. Bow has a niche to make destructables explode through fire arrows, which is better than nothing. And hand cannon.. is kinda pointless?>They should give the ranged weapons a development pass to make them more interesting tools.I'd like to see them become usable in melee personally. Not as independent weapons, just quickshot as combo enders.That would make all those "x on ranged hit" affixes much more useful. Not to mention the sets.
>do light attack into block + heavy on mid stance odachi>the light attack combos into the block + heavy move I have >but it also puts me into high stance because of waking winds/breeze because of the retarded input parser>if I press the heavy button too fast it will still combo from the mid light but it will do the high stance block + heavyWhy the fuck are the japs so bad at programming?
>>559901462Nioh 2 didn't have this issue. Generational change fucked TN over.Or well, most likely TN bosses fucked the studio over when they cheaped out on talent and training.
>>559901815It's driving me insane. Cuckoo's Call literally can't be combo'd into from lights making it all but worthless despite being able to combo into heavy attacks with block inputs. This is the same patch where they just fixed split staff having this problem where it couldn't combo off lights into martial arts. It took me 5 seconds of using odachi to notice this problem. What is going on with TN?>Or well, most likely TN bosses fucked the studio over when they cheaped out on talent and training.I don't know what they could have done to make this problem in the first place because like you said it didn't exist in nioh 2.
>>559899227It is a crucible art.
>>559897672If on PC/Stream, verify integrity of files.Patch notes>Increased the probability of equipment with higher +values being dropped upon completion of Shogun's Journey.No changes to how high things can drop from my testing on level-sync'd three shadows, just more likely to be +3-+5.>Unmatched warriorIt's death was greatly exaggerated. What happened is that the buffs get reduced extension on hit, and, from what I can tell (just woke up and with onmyo debuffs its hard to tell), the stat-debuffs (sloth/life leech/deinvigorate/fujiwara/etc.) can't be extended at all or even harsher. So you still have infinite confusion but now can't stack life leech on top of that, and need to be a bit more aggressive (but SG was doing fine without invoking cylcone).>Increased the limit of certain forging materials that can be possessed.99,999,999 for the base mats, very appreciated for theorycrafters and hoarders like yours truly.>Fixed an issue where performing the Martial Art Abscission Combo consecutively would consume Ki, but the Martial Art would not be performed correctly.Abscission's a ninja 2kat skill, not a sam 2kat skill, okay patch notes writer.>Matchless ResentmentHellspark Talisman/Thunderous Calamity now proc but take a huge/all of your spirit. Some of the other big costs like glacial, tempestous, hellfire, all seem to be cheaper. Elemental weapons got fucking hit on the crossfire though, they'll chew through your spirit force like they're fire shurikens instead of familiar contact damage (one exception being advancing storm martial art). Not even sure the intent because while Kurama Sword Dance (wind) is expensive, Advancing Storm/Death From Above (Water) are still cheap.(1/2)
>>559902254>Made changes so that if the player drops equipment that was enhanced via Soul Matching and then picks the equipment up again, the equipment's lowered enhancement fee will be changed to a suitable value.Did we just revert a glitch? Or did they not fully close it out as people were still getting decreased pricing for trying to get +15?>Soaring Fowl on OdaichiHey, you can do ki-pulses before your kid goes to college when using the skill now. Neat.Decent patch for fixing things but would've liked to have seen love being given but I'm suspecting they're waiting for more bugs to be fixed before going for raw adjustments (effect duration affixes should be bigger, who is impressed by 6% more duration?).
Addendum of the depression variety. Soul-matching to +15 just got a lot more expensive for those who did exploit to it, went from 1.025 million to 3.17 million (not this is for +15, +10 is unchanged from what I recall). Maybe they removed the flag that caused the prices to be normal for those that dropped their way to +15 while heavily reducing its cost?
>>559903306So what am I even supposed to build up to? +5? +10?I don't want to be massively op for the dlcs, and I remember doing them straight off the main game with not much trouble (aside from centipede guy in 1 who oneshot me with most attacks)
>>559904063Build nothing because what the first gaki in the dlc will drop will outclass whatever you farm for
>>559905953Nah that never actually happened in previous games, even ethereals needed to be made into a set to be worth switching to, and the +x shit almost invariably lagged well behind in drops compared to what you could build up to by consuming drops.I just wanna make sure I'm not going to overlevel the new content.
>>559906778it did happen if you were playing content far above your level
>>559906778Point is, as long as you have a set that holds up in late NG+ you won't have problems in the DLC. My Moonprayer face tank build will have no problem dealing with the DLC even in NG+
>>559899313In 1 and 2 your ranged weapon was pretty much essential. You'd have missions where there was an obvious big dude or a decent sized group of dudes you had to get through, and there would be a few guys with rifles or cannons arrayed around them. Usually they were at angles that you couldn't see if you only followed the main path. Game rewarded you for exploring by giving you line of sight to take them from range, or give you backstab opportunities before jumping down. That is something that wo long did well, by exploring you found lots of shortcuts or hidden paths to bring you behind groups so you could get an advantage when you started combat.
nioh general's last thread until september...
>>559919065praise team ninja for this amazing game
where are people getting the September date for the first dlc?
>>559921690Earth Wind and Fire. But seriously, you can see it on the Steam store pagehttps://store.steampowered.com/app/4003930/Nioh_3_Season_Pass/
>>559919065game was a flop, it's over nioh sisters, we lost
>>559902254>can't stack life leech on top of that, and need to be a bit more aggressiveShit game.
Anyone try out the switchglaive changes?How does it feel?
>>559919065I genuinely really like this game and think it's a worthy sequel to 2 but what is there to even say. Kind of got exactly what I expected it to be.
>>559919065they really should launched with a depths mode and just added onto it with each expansion or at the very least twilight missions
>>559930140>I genuinely really like this game and think it's a worthy sequel to 2This.Except the exact opposite.
>>559914539I actually specced fully into ranged in Wo Long. Every single buff I could get. It was surprisingly effective. Faster bosses like Lu Bu meant my kit lagged a bit behind, but exploration was a blast. On Hit effects for ranged was really nice on bosses, since actually nailing headshots was sometimes outright impossible. I was out there playing a 3rd person shooter absolutely murdering everything before they could get too close. It was a very weird, but also fun way to play. Lots of unlimited ammo, regen ammo from grapples, all that stuff. I am glad I ran with ranged for once.Nioh really hasnt had much support for it. I have looked into it, and there is a set and grace for it, but the ranged weapons are too slow, just as you said. They really cannot be weaved into combos like the RotR pistol or how fast the Bow was in Wo Long. Shame too, would be fun to get a couple headshots in while Hiruko is changing elements.
>>559897672Stupid way to resolve it, but I was able to launch the game in the end after just spamming launch til it worked.
I've only beaten the Bloodedge Demon once, and that was in the demo. That fucker's one hit kill attack is awful
>>559904063Kind of depends what you want to tailor the build for.>Challenge for Shogun's Journey (or applying Level Sync)My theory is 160/170+5 is what you need, +10 if you want to shore up skill issue as that's much cheaper than +15.
>>559934394steel talisman
>update broke the one mod I actually neednice!
>>559935760I forgot all about that talisman. Managed to beat another one after dying a few times, thanks anon!
>>559936780which one
>>559939152Nioh3Fix or something like that. Let's you use custom resolutions.
>>559941985that should get updated quickly.
Textures, especially on the yokai look pretty good now that x16 filtering is working. They're noticeably higher fidelity now than Nioh 2 was.
>>559935334I'll just go to 160+6 then, since there's no way I'm waiting for 170 gear to drop When I haven't even seen 160 yet.
>>559933508Ranged shit in this game wouldn't be so bad if it didn't take three full fucking seconds to lower your rifle after shooting
>>559948229equip the perk or suffer
Anyone able to explain how this dropped into my lap?>What I was doingDrawn to Yokai Incense /w rev fightsCrucible TourTriple TriumphThis was not soul matched to a +9, and while Revs can drop copies of their gear, they typically only drop a flat 160, never a 160+ something. Also none of the missions were crucible missions which just furthers the "huh?".
>Just got a +7 bow from a jailer oni in Crucible TourMaybe +10 was the intended target for Shogun's journey and they just forgot how their soul match works?
>>559953192I dunno game fucking easy even before then
>Nobunaga's guardian spirit is in Nioh 3, but you don't get it from himMissed opportunity to at least have him as fightable relevant
>>559958110Also weird choice to make it a Ninja specific one
>Hajime Saito does appear in this game as a regular dude you can fight in one of the battle scrolls, but he just has this blank expression on his face all the timekek
>>559959890with 1kat being the anime weapon, they should have copypasted notGatotsu from RotR.
>huge ass labyrinth level with no easily accessible shrineholy fuck Nioh 1 is so retarded sometimes.
>Oda's extra duration for Confusion went from 1% to 10%when did that happen
【Announcement】 We have received reports that, after updating to Ver.1.04.00 on the Steam version, the game may fail to launch in some environments. We are currently investigating the cause and will provide an update as soon as a resolution is determined.
>>559952848you got really lucky and the patch increased the +values possible
>>559964330I bet it's because of mods
>>559965919Yeah, that first patch didnt start when you had that any armor cosmetic mod running.
>>559961339desu I miss that kind of level design, no soulslikes seem to do it anymore and have checkpoints every 100 steps
>>559966680the walk of shame mindbroke too many people
The fall-off in this game after act 1 is fucking insane. Everything after that feels insanely phoned in. Environments, story, some of the bosses.
>>559969495go back to Ass Creed, fag
>>559969726>Trying to gatekeep baby's first action gamerofllmao even
>>559964330
>>559969726what did she mean by this
>>559973649I meant I'm going to fuck you till you love me, bitch
>UUUUUUUUUUUUUUU>UUUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEEE>MMMMMMMMMMMM
>>559977676>introduce a scampuss that you have to sneak up on while following it>use it only 1 (one) other time in the entire gamenot that I wanted more of that but still why
>>559978781level design lesson for the new hires?
>>559978883 >>559978781>oh yeah, we have this tall grass stealth mechanic>How would we get to make it more interesting...>Let's make it so you have to sneakily trail a scampuss?>you know what, nevermind
>>559979794>but put it really far into the game so the player is sure to have been exposed to the mechanic a lot previously>wtf, why?>iunno>okay, let's do it
>>559979794>>oh yeah, we have this tall grass stealth mechanicgenuinely forgot about this for 99% of the game
>>559981057I dont even know why they try with stealth gameplay, there has been shit to make you straight up invisible for awhile now whats the point of tall reeds? conforming to expectations?
>>559978781it was twice actually once in the heian zone and once in the bakumatsu zone
>>559966680i don't mind labyrinths but the visual design in both nioh 1 and nioh 2 make it WAY WAY too easy to get lost which is bad
>fight Soji>dude is dying from aids and takes pauses mid fight to cough out blood>says how he's too tired to go on and wants to spar with his comrades in the afterlife one last time>meanwhile this plays: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qvUdiZ_OsIAre they retarded? If you're gonna reuse a boss theme from an old game anyway why not put something more appropriate likehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27BiSlP04zgor https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vE0rTd0_tw
>>559985261It's dumb but it fits better in his gauntlet fight, I suppose.His attitude is different. He's more "one more duel before I suffer a decline" than the regular's antagonistic "psh, just die already".
another patch
Shit game.
>>559930459I do like being able to change into another build on the fly, complete with its own weapons.Frost moon is great.Deflecting is great, especially since they don't force you to use it like in wo shlong and rotr.Making ninjutsus chargable was a cool idea, and I love the new movement ones like lightning dash. Air combat's pretty decent, especially if you're a ninj.A lot of cool new bosses.New yokai are sick, despite them reusing the jailers and underusing virtually everything else imo. Hopefully that ratio evens out in the coming ng+s.
That was fast. Can they hotfix the NG difficulty too?
Bros I can't do inputs like floating vines to save my life.Is it one of the bugged inputs people keep talking about?
>>559948229Even worse too, that input eating thing that happens also happens when I release the aim button so my bow/rifle never actually drops.Idk if I have a perk I am not noticing, but I did find that after shooting a rifle, immeadiately letting go of aim skips the reload and drops the rifle. It does make it a lot faster.
>>560005427yeah you're supposed to let go so it stows
>>560001769can the put out a patch so that I don't have to keep watching the same cutscenes in coop
>>560005723They have an option in the menu settings so that you can skip previously seen cutscenes automatically.
>>559960827>dedicated>loyal>adheres to his own sense of justice>doesn't waver on his morals>devoted husband
How are we feeling about Sam (and Ninja) 1kat this time around?>Gimmick spam funny Vergil AoE?>Technical weapon with a tool for any situation?>Ninja 1kat too simple?>Any overtuned or undertuned moves?>Saucy as fuck?>Bland and tasteless like airpopped white corn?I like the Ninja 1kat flaming shoryuken (Sky Piercer Fire) and "teleports behind you kicks you in the nuts" Shadow Cyclone to Kickslash combo. Sam 1kat has some neat stuff too, like Swift Step Heavy and the classic Shadow Sword Light in Darkness. Heaven Flash Lightning is pretty cool too.
>>560005852>in coop
>>560009419both op
>>560009419nin1kat is way too simple and boring for me, sam1kat is still fun
