Woo, we're not dead.
>>565451567>zero character progression>all gear is materially identical in stats>all skills can be purchased with skill points aside from some relying on powers that are gotten through main story progression>combat against fodder is just lawn mowingSo what is driving people to continue playing this game? I'm genuinely wondering. Some of the combat skills are neat but it feels like you need to go out of your way to use them, practically for RP purposes, since regular combos gets the job done faster.
Me and my son.
>>565443413One doesn't normally associate cairns with four stones stacked on top of each other though. See how all the photos show off big proper ones. I guess the Koreans prefer them dainty>>565444780Oh yeaaaaah, I forgot about the young monk because I completed his quest the moment I unlocked pororin, some 80-90 hours ago. Good point, thanks.>>565445928The Pororin shai for sure, they heal us in chapter 8 and so on, but one would have expected the temple ones to be a bit more involved than just having me repair 3 statues and run 3 obstacle courses if they were part of that plan too. Guess they had a larger part in previous cycles, lmaoanyhow, thanks everyone
>>565455812Small cairns of stones are used all over the US and probably other parts of the world as navigation aides.https://www.nps.gov/articles/rockcairns.htm
Suffering over. Fuck this game.
>>565456609was it worth it
who has the nicest house?
>>565456609how do you feel? like the other anon asked, was it worth it? for me sometimes getting all them trophies feels fun and worth it, like say with souls games, but for some other games it kinda feels a lot harder and it would get in the way of my enjoyment if i did that with CD.
Is crashing about every 25 minutes normal or is it the HV?
>>565455635None of what you said is true. Have you even played the game?
https://m.youtube.com/shorts/J_ar07SVkoE
>>565472420What a silly claim to make. Did you perceive my post as hostile and get immediately defensive or did you misconstrue what I wrote and reach a conclusion that isn't there?
>>565472138pirates taking another L
>>565473764If it doesn't crash regularly I'd rather buy it, that's why I'm asking. But if it does crash often either way, I'd play something else.
>>565474090it never crashed for me even with undervolting my gpu
>>565473584The only thing silly about this exchange is that you're doubling down despite being wrong about everything you said.
>>565476039You're free to correct me.
>>565477763Everyone you said is wrong. Therefore the opposite is true. There.
>>565477763Maybe play the game instead of looking snippets of information online to try and fit in with a basket weaving forum.
>>565474090I've had only one crash in my 100 hours. Have been getting the occasional hang for 1-2 seconds after the last patch though, especially when checking the missions screen for a particular location directly from the map.>>565477763You're wrong just by technicalities, which is what anon's probably baiting you about.>zero character progressionI get that you mean there's no "attribute number go up", but your stats do technically improve under the hood as you unlock skills. Other stats also progress through gear.>all gear is materially identical in statsAgreed, the +1 to this or +1 to that aren't significantly different.>all skills can be purchased with skill pointsSome can also be observed. I also don't see how this is a criticism.>combat against fodder is just lawn mowingwhich is pretty fun>So what is driving people to continue playing this game?Exploration and traversal gets fun earlier than your playtime, so you should have already started enjoying it. Combat, as stated, is generally fun except for some bosses who try to be Souls bosses but suffer from the floaty movement, or have combos that require 4+ dodges or you get stunlocked into the whole thing. The open-worlded under- or over-levelling is particularly acute here too imo, which is a bit annoying. Later-game bosses are more fun though, especially if you can hit the sweetspot between "getting one-shotted by bullshit poorly telegraphed super combo attacks with incredible tracking" and "dismantling a boss in 6 seconds". The puzzles are also tolerable distractions in moderation, but I tire of them quite quickly.Fucking about is generally just fun, a lot more fun than I anticipated. I almost got filtered at the start, I hated the control scheme and mostly everything else during my first few hours, so I'm a bit surprised I'm enjoying myself as much as I am.
>>565477865>>565478201I'm not sure why you're behaving in such a schizophrenic manner. I'm playing the game right now.I do think it's funny that all I asked was>what keeps (you) playingwhich is a seemingly impossible question to genuinely respond to.
>>565479163>Agreed, the +1 to this or +1 to that aren't significantly different.Kuku gear function differently as do gear with special effects. The +1speed/crit/movement are hugely impactful when you add them up.>Some can also be observed. I also don't see how this is a criticism.There are skills that literally locked behind quest and research progressionAnon you're the one being baited. The parent post is a copypasta by a resident schizo.
>>565451567Does the spikes on the thorny warspike shield actually give extra shield bash damage or is the spikes purely cosmetic?
>>565479648>Says things that are completely qrong>Ummm why are you focusing on the leading parts that are wrong and not the question whose answer I'm steering you towards with misinformation?
>>565479648You must be pretty dumb if you're actually playing the game and getting everything about it wrong. The game isn't that obtuse despite reddit's claims about it.
>>565479163>I get that you mean there's no "attribute number go up", but your stats do technically improve under the hood as you unlock skills. Right. All you have are abyss artifacts which aren't very substantial. Not enough on their own at least.>Agreed, the +1 to this or +1 to that aren't significantly different.Yeah, this significantly dampers exploration once you realize that all gear is materially identical and you're never really going to improve it outside of finding unique abyss gears.>Some can also be observed. I also don't see how this is a criticism.That's my point though. The ones you observe are not unique to being observed. You can just buy them. Finding skills while exploring isn't really tantalizing because, besides the point refund, I could just learn them myself.>which is pretty funIt's fun but so far I've found that I have to go out of my way to use skills over basic attacks since they are costly, can leave you open, and don't achieve that much more than your basic attacks.Even for bosses, I'll usually try cycling through grabs, kicks and all the various skills and find that most won't do anything and even those that do, they just leave you open when dodging or parrying into heavy combo cleans them up easily. You're essentially using skills just to look cool with no actual benefit.Really, it's the>gear is worthless that gets me. I don't care if the story/characters are bad, I'm fine with MMO style quests and even pre-release, I understood that the game was not going to be an RPG and was being pitched as an action-adventure. However, with an exploration heavy game, I figured gear progression would be the focus. If gear is purely for decoration, then what is there to even encourage exploration? Exploration for the sake of exploration only goes so far.>>565480150You're really hung up on me being supposedly wrong when you're objectively wrong about me having never played the game.
>>565481048Oh so you're just bad st the game. No need to take it on us.
>>565481048>Grabs and kicks leave you open against bossesNigga wat
>>565481048If you're going to base the game game's equipment system off of random tidbits of info online at least look up kuku crafting and abyss gears
>>565481746I ctrl-f'd that and only your own post came up.>>565482018I'm basing it off me playing the game myself because that's where I get my information from. If I'm wrong, you're free to discuss the game
>>565479884Good point on the kuku gear and that some items do have small unique effects, but I'd say the variety is still generally disappointing. The special effects that I'm aware of are not too interesting or significant enough to change my playstyle or enable building around them (I'm thinking of the weather necklaces or the saint's necklace, though I concede I probably don't know about many others). The shadows helmet and the laser one provide active effects for combat, but they're just cool distractions for when you remember you have them, I doubt any players rely on these unique effects.I do like the abyss gears system but I wish most items had noticeably significant differences, like maybe crank up the baseline crit rate and attack speed bonuses so they're actually visible with the naked eye, have slower and faster moveset speeds (well, that might be a bit much to ask for), that sort of thing. And all unique gear should be unique, stuff like the eternal corridor's only reward being a "legendary" ring that's identical to a common one you can find in generic stealable boxes is just baffling. Give every unique weapon a built-in special effect like imbue element or hound's claws or whatever, and keep its sockets at the normal level, and then I'll actually have to think whether I want to e.g. take a 2-point crit loss penalty in exchange for this cool skill that I can't remove from the weapon.Right now I'm discouraged from upgrading my swords because I don't know if I like their aesthetics enough to waste cubes on them, which is the opposite of what most games would want me to be thinking about.I do still think the core loop is fun though, but there must have been a hundred ways to make the gear system more interesting.>Anon you're the one being baited. The parent post is a copypasta by a resident schizo.that's what I get for not lurking enough I guess
>>565482440>>565481048>Even for bosses, I'll usually try cycling through grabs, kicks and all the various skills and find that most won't do anything and even those that do, they just leave you open ???
>>565479884>The parent post is a copypasta by a resident schizo.This has been my first post on /cdg/ but if you want to turn me into one of the Anons living in your head, can I be the >guywhoactuallytriestotalkaboutagameon/vg/-fagI get these generals inherently dissolve into circlejerks that have nothing to do with the game but I figured that this game was new enough that there were still some people that wouldn't dissolve into schizoposting immediately. My bad. I'll just let you return to>
>>565451567take the hint, the game is dead. stop polluting this board
>>565482824Right which isn't what you posted. I find that, more often than not, grabs and kicks won't do anything to bosses. For other skills, they generally leave you open.I'm not sure why you made up something different in your head and then got surprised by your own made up argument.
>>565477763Don't let these microdicked shills gaslight you. Your criticisms are 1000% valid. Here is my playtime for proof.
Those Marni outposts are clearly designed to be cleared with the mecha but building it is completely optional and some materials are kinda obscure. I have no issue with that in my 250+ hour save but they would become another filter for normies who try to rush the main story.Sure, you can just bruteforce your way through the robots but its a pain in the assAnother weird design choice
>>565484339I am actually abusing/exploiting one of their weird design choices. Still early in story, all of Demeniss is hostile to me, use endless spawns of mooks to farm money, xp and practice new combat combos or to see how affective unique gears are.
>>565484821I do miss the inquisitors, they were the only enemy type with heavy shields and that required some group managementOnce you free the region they are gone and no other mobs are similar
>>565462427I never touched the house until they introduced storage. Now I go there to empty my inventory.
>>565484339I just spam the disruptor when fighting the robots.>>565485317I think the inquisitors were the only group with lots of banner pike guys for the challenge. Don't think I can complete that challenge until they add the new mechanic for recaptured territory.
>leather worker wants to sell his spinning wheel>tells me to try it out>it works fine>"ah I don't want to sell it after all"mfw
>>565486012Is the garden room purely aesthetic or is it functional?
>>565487660Plants are just aesthetic. The only functional item in there is the cauldron.
The indian shills spread out from the containment boards and are even here just being belligerent retarded contrarian assholes trying to demoralize everyone for anything like they are doing on every other board.
>>565488229>indoor weed farm is now aesthetic
>>565488229Should go get the special cooking instruments and an enhanced kuku cooler too. Ranching chickens and stacking bird soup is the way to go.
>>565486012They need some lights that can be mounted on walls and/or a fireplace option.
>>565492224Also some rugs and better looking walls.
>>565492224>>565493817They need to straight up give you a 3 story mansion but also a basement and a hidden room and extra sheds and other houses outside of your plot. They can literally let you copy paste any of the layouts of the nobles estates in Hernand and Demeniss. I need that shit.
>>565387486I finally did the ironwing quest and man, that was a hell of a lot of fun. There better be a huge dirigible with enemies on board to fight, otherwise it'd be wasted potential.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXWxJ27vHqEReddit anon was full of bullshit, as expected.
>>565483345Maybe you should own post again. You said grabs and kicks leave you open>they don't do anythingBecause you're mashing them outside of combos most likely. Kicks work against all bosses. Grabs work against humanoids.
>>565482440Playing the game yourself while completely wrong about it on a fundamental level means you're kind of retarded.
wheres the weekly update?
>>565479163I had a LOT of crashes amidst the chinese mountains, but practically none even a few hundred metres away from them and beyond.Probably due to the scripting that lets them rise out of the sea.
patch doko
>>565483345Nigga certains skills have iframes and dodge frames. The ones that leave green after images means you can't be touched during those frames. They are literally color coded my guy.
>>565494503i want that too but i bet the house he gets at pailune is more than he's ever had in his life as a northern bumpkin, it seems like pailunese are the white trash of pywell
>>565496491Or maybe you're just overreacting to a post that wasn't meant to be as assertive as you're making it out to be.>>565497443Alright, I still think dodge/parry into heavy combo is faster and more efficient. Don't look too deep into something that wasn't mean to be some objective, highly critical analysis. I haven't even left Hernand. Maybe I just underestimated the victim complex these threads were probably left with after all of the pre-release/immediate post-release shitposting. I was really just asking>what do you guys do for fun in the game
>>565497780The hero of Pywel deserves a decent crib. And some hot bishes too. They need to let you invite 100 trust girls over to your pad.
>>565499186i want the option of tying up damiane to your bed and leaving her there while you finish side quests and abyss puzzles
>>565495208There is a giant dirigible. With a secret merchant on board.
I laugh every time Kliff busts out the RKO on someone
>>565504694Do kick+jump. You can spam it with no stamina cost and it has less vulnerability than the suplex. You can spam it against certain bosses if you time it right too.
>>565505968X+Y? I dont think I have that one unlocked, I only really got them for the rasslin contest in Kharonso
>>565506205Kick and then follow up with jump. Not at the same time. It's a hidden command grab that cost no stamina.

is the pauline house bigger than the regular house?
>>565508201The main hall feels bigger. Can't you change house layout now?
>>565510829yeah but you can only choose the pauline house if you move to pauline which i am not doing

>>565518180This is a good way to handle it.

Assuming their scaling adjustment works correctly, it'll be cool to see how difficult a boss was actually intended to be.

oh yeah thats the stuff
>>565523808the leadup to the reed devil going up through a little trail on the mountains before entering a huge field of reeds where its just you and him fighting alone is so fucking good. they should have saved that one for later.

>>565531315Hi Derek
>>565530445240 and 1k for your chest
So they’re patching in shit that should have been there from the beginning? I would love to buy this game, but I’ll wait until it’s actually complete first.
>missing two bosses 1 in pailune and 1 in demenissI checked the dB and I don't have Stephan or skull knight in my knowledge but checking online I don't think they are actual bosses Anyone know what I might be missing?
im so fucking glad they made the repopulating optional
Added new legendary animals that can be kept as pets: Iron Eagle and Hyacinth Macaw. The Iron Eagle appears upon meeting certain conditions.
Anyone else spelunking?
>Improved crop harvesting in the garden so that you consistently receive a minimum of 2 crops regardless of fertilizer or water supply.
>>565532737what conditions? anyway i think bird pets are kinda shitty, their animation when theyre idle feels weird flying in one spot, not sure how can they make it better, like actually circle you from high above and when close to trees and buildings it will perch itself up there
>>565532926birds loot way faster than cats and dogs
>Fixed an issue where a comrade's Trust would reset to 10 under certain conditions.thy fixed itTHEY FIXED IT

>>565533639can they please turn off the blue ring thats created around kliff whenever you find a new placeits super distracting

Does Marksmanship affect the Rinehard cannon ranged damage? Or the skill only affect bows?
>>565533883I think it's cool and thematic. You're this avatar for the knowledge-is-powah gang, so having visual queues on learning new stuff seems fitting
Man after this patch it sure as shit feels like you should restartInb4 big patch that overhauls the storyTheres SO much lore hidden in the fucking text in this game, like elden ring, its a shame
you're not a scrub are you?
>>565534076nah not at all it wasnt there to begin withyou just emit blue light every other time and breaks my immersion

>>565533637>>565533859tlou on ps3 looks better retard
???
>>565534527bait used to be believable
Going through the game again from scratch on hard mode, and going by memory, I realize how much the responsiveness has improved. At the start, it really did feel like molasses, just like RDR2. I remember thinking how labored the movement and jump response felt. It really is a world of difference. The actual controls itself I never had a problem with. Precision jump is almost unnecessary now, that's how much better it feels.
>>565534898I see the tutorial waterfall is as ugly as ever.
>>565534898yeah, I can jump between branches on larger trees with ease without precision jump even. They've reached a good spot right now, although I would like a tad slower walking speed as we had before 1.04Still, precision jump is a cool, I've been using it more and more just traversing terrain
>>565534079I restarted on hard mode and made a self-imposed rule to not look up everything on an interactive map, I was burning myself out doing that
>>565532926Yeah it'll take a lot of AI work. Hopefully they visit that someday, but they probably won't. But in the meantime, they should make birds flap more vigorously if they're just floating in place. Making birds identify preferred places to perch is a harder problem than it looks, specifically because of constant edge cases.
>>565535262yeah using online maps just turns any exploration into ubislop waypoint chasing
>>565535657For smaller birds just make them sit on your shoulder/head during cutscenes. That's when the problem is most apparent.
>>565535657>but they probably won'tidk, they've addressed dozens of things I thought they'd never touchhaving a bird pet sounds cool on paper but getting it to follow realistic flight paths seems super challenging. would be really cool having birds following you by flying between and perching on different ledges and branches wasp swarms are probably the coolest animation in the game atm though, the way they zoom around in arches, going up and down the landscape is fucking sick. I've only seen it once so far, I wish I had recorded it
so the new patch broke expeditions and golden beer? i didnt launch the game yet wondering if i just wait for a hotfix
>60 fps bug is still in
>>565536362golden beer has been fixed 2 patches agowhats broken about expeditions?they dont reset now if you dont have enough ressources
>>565535683ringing the bells is honestly the biggest mistake you can do. thankfully i didn't do it at the start, but i still did it mid game and it ruined a lot of what i feel like could have been more exciting stuff. i will even go so far as to say that crimson desert shouldnt have had it at all until the end.
>>565536362Launch in offline mode with "update only when I start" enabled on steam. Your Denuvo token should last you a couple of weeks but the devs have been pretty good at hotfixes. I downloaded immediately for boss rematches. No issues on my end
>>565534898Yeah after reading this I just realized how much better it feels. I swear you didn't move like this around launch
>>565536630>>565534898100000%I struggled jumping in the abyss on launch and now i can do it effortlessUsed precision jump so much back then
>>565536491>>565536614some dude is saying:"The new update [Patch Version 1.05.00] is bugging out camp missions. Half of them is disappearing every time I reload the game (PC), wasting tons of my resources. It looks like the system is silently capping missions at 5 and deleting the rest. They've broken the Golden beer (Double mission dispatch rewards) effect as well. They are throwing away any mission added past 5. Last-In, First-Out. Technically, these missions are not even cancelled: resources are not refunded."with some mentions of it occuring on load a save file or waking up from sleeping
>Even the tutorial enemies can climb on houses to get to youThis is the kind of advanced pathing that I can really appreciate. Not many people know how hard something as mundane seeming as pathfinding and navigation AI really is. Even this game struggles with it so much that your allies are constantly having to teleport to you.
>>565536775i have 13 missions ongoing and none of them are broken. the golden beer effect is working too.
>>565536775My dispatches are fine on my end. With these types of games there's bound to be bugs that only trigger for certain people and not others
The kuku drones help a lot for maintaining Relentless' combo stacking. They stuns/staggers nearby enemies so they're sitting ducks for you to build up/maintain combo.
>>565536507I'm still in Hernand, so I've only rung one bell so far. Is it safe to do it after you've explored the city and surrounding area yourself? How far out do they reveal stuff?
Anyone gotten the two pew pew kuku drones that help in battle
>>565537194animals you frighten will run along fallen tree trunks to get across rivers, it's pretty insane seeing ten of them doing it without loosing stride, only for it to break and a few of them go splashing into the water. then the rest of them instantly find new paths without missing a beat. cool stuff.
>>565533612wut? the light in that webm looks great? near pitch-black until the lantern is turned on, everything blocks the beam realistically, the light bounces around and there is plenty of secondary light, then you have the ambient light from outside streaming in... what are you seeing that I'm not?
>>565538159ray recon looks good, but even on cinematic lighting quality with ray recon off, it looks like complete ass in dark caves and inside homes with no windows open. ive seen ps2 games with better lighting than that
>quest completed>but also not completed uh oh
>>565533612>posted it again
>>565538840>with ray recon offwhy turn it off? it looks great with it on. just save up for a real computer bro
>>565538885nah you're still missing some mobs
>>565537686all they do is uncover the fog, they don't even fill out the map or anything
>find hard as fuck outfit>unrefinablewhy would they even do this its so easy to implement it for everything
>>565539179iirc the one I rung added questionmarks for all the vendors and minigames around it? that stuff is fun to stumble upon as you amble around
>>565536507I was using the mod that doesn't remove fog of war when ringing bells earlier today, but I loaded my save tonight and fucked everything up
>>565536362works on my machine
This game needs Koroks.
>>565539754seeing how fast they're moving with the patches I don't really feel like risking my save with modsnot much it's lacking atm anyway, but that does sound nice. I'd also want something that disables exact previews of vendors max trust itemswhat are your favorite mods?
yeah i can see a hotfix in a few days
>>565537686There is a bell for every region, but it basically removes all fog of war, exposes all areas of interest, and all NPC locations. It kills one of its bigger strengths: exploration and discovery. Given that other parts of the game can be pretty meh, undermining that is definitely not worth it.
>>565540079abyss gear puzzles & challenges are superior, but I would like a few physics puzzles similar to Koroks
Sometimes the pathfinding feels really advanced, other times it feels a bit dumb. I guess there was a lot more manual work here than I thought. When I climbed into Hernand Castle, I saw a guard climb a shack, then the roof, then actually lept from the roof to the ramparts. But simply climbing up a roof of the castle building broke them, nobody could climb up to me, even though it was a short climb. And there was a low set pergola that I climbed, and none of the soldiers would climb it to reach me. It seems they are manually programmed to only utilize generic houses, which is a little disappointing.
>>565527603the animations for anyone but Kliff aren't great but considering the scale and that you mostly play in third person it's decent enough. I prefer the direction they took towards animating hundreds of cool moves and animalseven then, comparing it to mmo's seems more fair than something like tlou2 in regards to the tech
>>565540158The way mod managers work with CD is it just applies temporary text-based changes to the game files that have to be reapplied every time you close the mod manager. That way it doesn't have a chance to corrupt save data or require you to verify files to restore any permanent overwrites. Aside from that bell mod I don't think there's any that actually try to add immersion yet, but my favorite ones are the shader toggler that lets you disable fog and some blurry post-processing, PrivateStorageAnywhere, and the one to skip all the artificial loading screens. You can pretty much instantly load in from anywhere on the map and the one minute start up from menu is cut down to about 20 seconds.
>>565540208for what
Seems finicky. Sometimes they seem really smart and can go up roofs with a little patience and prodding. I need to do more testing.
HOLD UPTHERES A PUMPKIN HELMET SOMEWHERE NOW
Where is this new disguise shop the patch mentioned?
>>565542912i dont know
>>565541674>and the one to skip all the artificial loading screens. You can pretty much instantly load in from anywhere on the map and the one minute start up from menu is cut down to about 20 secondsthat does sound decent but I use that time to fetch coffee
>>565542771>NowSince launch>>565542752Enemies climb buildings and ledges, but they probably take distance into account and simply give up if it's too much. I reckon it's to prevent certain behaviors that would occur with camps or roving packs that spawn near ledges and cliffsides. Reblockade the Quarry and you will see lots of climbing behavior.
>>565542752your graphics look like ass
>>565543239I didn't bother adjusting the camera to make it clear. Also I'm playing at 1080p, so yeah, the resolution is poverty tier, but I'm playing on cinematic.>>565543135In this case its definitely not distance based. I'm wondering if its truly dynamic, or explicitly hand coded for specific situations. Getting them up on this roof suggests maybe not, but again, I need to do more testing to confirm. If the vertical pathing is this promising, having Oongka and Damiane around shouldn't need this much teleporting as a crutch.
>>565538885that happens when the place gets taken again by bandits
>>565543720but i turned that off before i even loaded the game
DLSS seems bugged now again
>>565486012I don't have it yet, but I was actually hoping there would be inventory to do this, since I only go near the private chest whenever I want to sleep. Nice.
>>565543785that happens naturally as part of the game, happened before this update too
how is the fort repop? i beat the game but havent finished all of the side stuff demeniss, dellysia and crimson desert, is the fort repop fucking anything up? about to boot up the game with the new update and i think ill leave the fort repop off until i actually clear everything
>>565543861bruh. i only cleared it like half an hour before i noticed. what the fuck.
>>565543985he is talking bullshit
Finally I can summon my white bear again. It was fucked up for weeks.
>>565526068Men usually are
>>565543985it happens twice, once in hernand and once in demeniss, the one in demeniss is next to the cave wher eyou get the crit 3 2 handed sword
Khuuuuuhhhh....
puhhleeeaassseee
>>565543964Not yet ive set it to war mode and its... a full on war almost every corner after sleeping or saving
>>565544371That's pretty nice for leveling your comrades once you unlock generic workers to fill out your roster.
I just noticed that when you take a combat stance with your fists out, guards are afraid of you. But if you do it with any actual weapon, they return in kind with a combat stance. They know the true power of a melee build.
>Game looks amazing with RR on>adds 80ms of input latency
tried to start a boss rematch and it crashed the game. gee thanks
>>565546848it doesnt that just your framerate being cut by half
>teleporter in a hole you cant climb out ofwhy
>>565538885i figured this out, there was another camp on anvil hill that wasnt on my map that i had to clear out
>>565550549Use axiom force to exit through the hole in the ceiling. Still the most useless teleport in the game.
>bounties all have a note with a suspicious symbolis this leading to anything?
>>565551069i dont know but people have used it to gift to guards
What needs hotfixing from this latest patch?
>>565551478nothing it just werks
>>565551478still no shai companions
What the FUCK do i even do with those origami notes
if your kuku pack doesn't work just kill yourself and respawn
>>565551850sell them
>>565537716yeah i tested it earlier, it seems quite powerful on hard mode against mobs but its annoying on controller because to release it is the same as your imbue, try to imbue your turning slash with a 2h sword you might trigger the pack to recall your drones instead or something its just trash and useless if youre already powerful, i dont even know if this is available for early game where it would be most useful
>second pailune construction mission needs over 100k moniesgod damn
I managed to get a weird glitch where I now have multiple bird pets equipped at once. >In the mountains, trying to get an eagle or something else cool>Put out the bird feeder >Get a blue jay, a pigeon and some small red bird >All three of them decide NOT to despawn and just kind of hover around Kliff forever. Pretty cool honestly.
>>565552628I forgot to mention one thing. The downside is that now I'm locked into using those three pets and I can't swap to my cat, dog, etc. None of them are toggled as "Summoned" so I can't de-summon them. Might be stuck like this.
>>565552628my bird feeder disappeared the first day i got it and it wasn't at the recover items dude. and still don't have it back. hope it aint needed for the new iron eagle pet
>>565552451Good time to go wagonning, ey Kliff?
>>565553070is that actually lucrative?
>>565552628noice
>kuku pack stops working after refighting a bossquality game
>>565553110You can get millions from selling converted resources per trip. Just make sure your destination buys what you're selling.
>>565553285>bringing a Kuku pack to a rematchPA is acknowledging that you didn't actually beat them.
>>565553795oh yeah that gardening pack really helps fighting those bosses
>>565553689That sounds great. If I can get half the satisfaction of trucking games that could potentially steal many more hours from my irl
70hrs in, whats the point of sky abyss puzzles? aside from abyss artifacts which i probably dont need anymore, i even took off my +10% skill exp gain since the game is already easy at lv10 stamina and healthjust asking if completing these progresses the story or not
>>565553285which pack, my watcher pack works fine after a couple boss rematches and i used it for the fight too
>>565551478camp missions
>>565555356gardening. haven't used other packs yet
>>565555275The final boss is gated by completing all the sky puzzles.
You should just share skill points between characters. You can already reset your skill points at any time and reinvest manually. Faded abyss artifacts are abundant. This just feels shit
>>565518180>>565519480Just color them silver pa
>>565531457>they added 2BNier Automata collabuttration soon
>>565537686>I'm still in Hernand, so I've only rung one bell so far. Is it safe to do it after you've explored the city and surrounding area yourself? Yeah that's the preferable way, now that the game map differentiates what you've missed so far
>>565550549Should've been an abyss gate
>>565552774Do they pick shit up?
Maybe I'm missing something, but aside from aesthetics, all the weapons and armor I can craft after reading blades and plate armors of the world vol. 1 have the same base stats (and look like they will end up with the same stats as the gear I have once I refine them).Is crafting not a viable way of getting better gear?
>>565561463probably, tbf the game is easy so you dont really need to minmax and can just focus on dripthe only bad thing about other equips is when they dont have slots
fish pets when?
>>565552628Ok I figured out how to do it kek,Have 2 Shepards perma following me now
I wish I could massacre a whole town, random mf called me a stinking turd after I saved them
>>565561463Equipment is mostly cosmetic and rarely worth upgrading beyond level 4. Accessories are your main source of stats but even those aren't huge contributors to power like abyss gears and skills.
>>565562440You can, put on bandit mask and go on a spree. KekBounty caps out 100 silver
Can legendary mounts level up or use horse equipment yet? Or are they still just worse than regular horses in every way?
I've been putting off going back and killing king kong at the festival. I've gained 15-20 useable artifacts since last try and I'm pretty much out of quests to do besides bounties. I'm waiting for my employees to come back from building a statue at the fishing shack to see if any of them have the skill to make a wagon. Hopefully I just need one with the prerequisite skill. I was pretty sleepy when I last looked at that shit.Also, one of my guys wanted some stone to build a monument and he insisted that we should swear vows at it every morning. I don't think he's built it yet but is that actually something we can do?
What's the age of consent in Pororin?
>>565564287Be advised that building the wagon will require you to drive it and do a trade if you want to actually complete the quest.>I don't think he's built it yet but is that actually something we can do?I don't believe so.
>>565564815Not sure
chat, it's over. rematch and re blockade actually didn't rekindle my interest in this game
>>565566192keep chasing that high of day 1 exploration in CD, bro
>>565566192I just started looking at the map properly for the first time after getting the Traveler's Log, and this thing is fucking massive. The amount of stories that could be packed in there is making me nervous.
>>565566650The amount of stories that aren't packed in there or are fetch quests will make you a little disappointed.
>>565566053But surely they reproduce.>>565566743As long as the fetch quests are at least at the level of what I've seen in these 12 hours, I'm all in.Fuck the crimson devil one could be a film or a show in itself.
>>565565563I'm hoping wagon deliveries will scratch a similar autistic itch to work sim games like snowrunner and motor town. I really like CD's map and cruising around making profits would be a nice way to take in the scenery and become more intimately involved with the world. From the little wagon driving I've done it doesn't seem awful
That's something that I've come to consider a feature of this game. They didn't do every possible cinematic or script every conversation, but you can tell they figured out the stories properly and it makes you feel it in your imagination. The world is very rich even though it's not explicit about it. It reminds me of Dark Souls.
>>565567792I much prefer game stories to leave most of the dialogue unspoken
So uhh apparently 11 atk necklace is better than 5 atk 4 crit ones?
>>565568047I don't care what game, crit rate buffs are fairytale bullshit
>>565567869Yeah, but only when the writers have fleshed it out properly in their mind. The "realness" of the story somehow seeps in. Or maybe I'm just good at delusions.
Should I go out of my way to play with Damiane or can I just keep going with Kliff and at some point the game will prompt me to change characters?
>>565567669It's all right. The only truly annoying parts are when your wagon sale fails right at the end and you get stuck and have to restart, or if something janks out and the wagon blows up and also forces you to restart. For me it's too much of a time-wasting activity for too little ROI though. The fun I've had through those few missions that force me to do it was when I have to go through hostile territory, so finding a safe route or just plowing through was part of what made it interesting.You really don't need trade to get unlimited camp funds. Unlock dispatches, always max out the best estate security ones, reinvest into church donations, get the golden beer, explore early to get more locations (go to Delesyia), and you just won't have to deal with it. I cleaned out the last two million I had to max out Delesyia and now, some 10 or so days later, I'm back at 2.7 million and I have literally nothing to spend it on, my pailune rebuilding dispatches are done too. Chapter 9, no mecha workers and pretty poor contribution in Delesyia and the desert.
>>565568047I don't think it matters. Having now maxed out my gear, I've broken past 53 attack without using any attack gears, with a 4 crit necklace. I run one spirit siphon and 4 unique effect gears on my Hound, and I still demolish bosses in no time at all. I haven't yet found a case in which I'd want to further optimise my damage.Give me higher crit levels. Flat damage is boring, at least with crit I can pretend like I'm having something exciting happen.>>565568538She vanishes at the start of chapter 5, you get her back at the end of chapter 8 and are forced to play as her for a little while. Honestly I only started finding it fun to swap to her in the late game though.
>>565568538There's no point to play the other chars because sooner or later you will encounter situations that only Kliff can do. The game will force you to play one quest as the others but it's very short.
>>565569331>and I still demolish bosses in no time at allthose fire imbues abyss gear are literally cheat mode since they fucking stagger boss like nothing, try removing them and you actually have to pay attention on bosses' action now if you're on hard
>>565551478Only bug I've found so far with this patch is that after taming a bird pet you can't summon any pets. Have to restart. That's better than the bug from last patch where if you tamed a bird as Damiane it force swapped you to Kliff and everything broke or crashed.
>>565555275Abyss puzzles unlock the elemental powers. Each branch starting from each of the spires has a different element based on the spire it starts from. And doing all of them and restoring the central abyss area gets you the center skill in the tree Falling Palm.>>565555750He's not. You only have to do part of the abyss to reach the final boss.
I'm in chapter 4 and haven't had a reason to go back to the abyss since the start of the game. Is this coming later? I also want to read the diaries that are supposed to be on the 3rd floor of the axiom archive that someone posted on reddit.
>>565574905The main story will let you forget and ignore the abyss until the last chapter but don't do that. You get more abyss artifacts and elemental powers. Plus it unlocks the path to the final boss sequences. I don't know if those books appear before you beat the game or not. If you go there let us know. There's also a free abyss cat pet at the very start of the abyss now.
>>565574905You will later have certain encounters that take place in the abyss, the puzzles are also a good source of cubes. See the post right above yours as well.>>565574681>the center skill in the tree Falling PalmNah, you either have that by default or you unlock it from the very first chain of puzzles. I've had it since forever and I've only done about 2/3 of the main story and the abyss puzzles.
>>565542752they have a hard time pathing if you're directly above them
>>565546848>adds 80ms of input latencysource? I've only noticed going from 80-100 fps to 60 ish, input delay seems unaffected for me
>>565550549hidey hole I still haven't looked into the runes on the stones surrounding the hole
>your mount can fling you into the air if you press jump then dismount80 hours in, did not know that
>>565576359you have never tried riding a horse, jumping off then gliding out of howling hill? its been there since launch and they probably never fixed it since its not gamebreaking unlike the movespeed and gliding acceleration bugs
>>565577083no lol I have never used a mount this entire time, no point. Was trying out the wolf I just unlockedneat
>>565575585So I just go up there and where do I go? I have no quests on it. Is it just puzzles? Or is there a story?
post more damiane
>>565546848It looks plasticky to me
>>565578171I'll spoil it in case others don't want to know. It's mostly puzzles but also some bosses. Each branch on the abyss has a starting point at an abyss gate at the top of the spires. The first is at the axiom archive where you go in the first chapters. The rest are at the top of the spires around the map after you solve the puzzles and reach the top. Each abyss gate at the start of the spire starts you on an abyss path that leads to the center dimensional bonds area which is the ultimate goal to restore. You must restore each of the other abyss paths to restore the center. They're all linear so you just start at the spire and work through the puzzles and bosses until you reach the dimensional bonds area then do the next. Each path gives you an element.
New birb spoiler.
>>565559309>>565536507can't you just do this?
soooooo new patch fucked with companions and missions AGAIN
>>565567669>>565567792>>565567869>>565568353I get that feeling too. Kliff seems written to be somewhere between Link and Master Chief - gives affirmative grunts and a few comments here and there like the chief, but dialogue is also written so it seems he's saying more than what is actually voiced. It leaves a lot to the imagination which I prefer, both for immersion and not bogging you down listening to dialogue for minutes on end, but it does need some getting used to. I much prefer reading lore through the knowledge tab. The initial main quest line still feels particularly disjoint in a different way, in that the game gives the player or Kliff knowledge of what to do next with zero spoken dialogue at all. Could partially be a localization issue ?
>>565569361The point in playing the other is that they are fun to play lol If you are so eager to finish the main quest and move on you should just quit already and play something you enjoy
>>565580534how?
>>565581483missions that were ongoing before the patch just disappeared and are just gone, not even greyed out, just gone andwith them the companions
>>565581586have you tried reloading an earlier save?
>>565581879yea
does ice resistance make you more resistant to the cold weather stamina debuff?
>>565581171I love that the dialog is short and minimal. I hate the trend of movie games with endless dialog and cutscenes. I want to play my game not watch a movie.
>>565578208
>>565576359I hope you at least know your horse can drift, right
>>565580410>filters>existingSureee now you can
>>565583094if you filter out the unknown entities, ringing the bell shouldn't really fill in stuff, maybe?
>>565582029I write this and not five minutes later does it occur to me that I picked up a rein deer mantle yesterday with lvl 5 ice resistance. It does help.
I feel like fuck the kuku flame resistant armor and just get your crit to 12/13. You dont need that last 3, who gives a fuck. Then you've got 3 chest sockets to play around with for volcanic eruption and turning slash damage
>[spoiler for bismuth walls]???did they just forget to populate this cave? lmao

I don't understand the irrational brigading some games get on the steam forums. Is it some political thing? Demoralization agenda to make people miserable? Rival studios? Demonic possession?It's always the same over the top bitter FUD no matter what problem the game has.Indians who can't afford the game?
>>565592706Dying western game industryThe more they seethe about good asian games the higher the shit they are buried into
>>565592706Engagement. Lonely bored people seeking a response from another human. Laziest way to get a response is to be negative about things people love.
I would love to have a Shai companion/pet for completely wholesome reasons so we could go adventuring and discovering all the marvels in the world. How's the modding status on this?
>>565592706I first thought it was mostly trolls and sour grapes from poor third-worlders, maybe maratroons who wanted more players to immigrate to populate their game, but seeing how many nitpicking articles western press has published it seems more intentional. Probably western publishers paying troll farms to shit on their Asian competition, it's almost a negligible cost compared to the chilling effect it has on discussions and engagement
>>565593415making Shais into pets would be fucking based, imagine the seethe
>>565592706Isn't that just every game that does well? Pragmata is also full of trolls
>>565593932nah, this game has much more than usual titles, trolls posting repeat shit both here and on steamonly absolute lolcow games come close to the hate, like marathon maybe
>companion quests are bugged>AGAINAHHHHHHH PA FIX THIS FOR ONCE
I'd like to see survival mods with hunger, durability etc for the game, everything seems to be in place for it
>>565593607If that's the case then they're petty as fuck and deserve everything that's coming to them.>>565595629If this game gets good modding... I can't put into words how utterly based that would be
>>565546848You know the funniest part? Using RR forces max lighting, which is what is fucking destroying the FPS. But there were early mods that used cinematic lighting (infinitely less demanding) and then used RR to clean that up, and it looked basically identical, with none of the performance loss. But then PA patched the game so you couldn't do that anymore. What the fuck is their problem?
more like one armed cuckvig
>>565576359i dont blame you, whiny faggots made travel tools so op mounts dont matter and never have. yet they whine for more mounts they will never use.
>>565598441I did not experience the game before the change you mentioned (I'm barely 20 hours in), but I find them useful to explore new territory and to move from fast travel points to my destination. The points are far enough in-between to make this possible.
>>565598441comparing running speed and flying stamina drain from now to launch is crazy, it's almost like RDR2 vs Ninja Gaiden lol I like how much they've polished the responsiveness, but any more and the immersion will be affected
>have to skin innocent deer just to enhance my earrings
Hound's Fang is so much better on the spear (the red ring aoe in the latter half of this webm). It's crazy. On a longsword it comes out like once every 2 secondsNo fucking youtuber has done this test I guarantee so it makes me curious. Maybe some gears that dont seem that great are better on a different weapon. Like Hounds fang is one of the best gears in the game on a spear but I would never put it on a longsword
>removed small boxes, you now get the contents automatically, meaning you can't gift or sell the box as-is and don't get to gamble on opening the boxes>you no longer see the open loading bar on pouches with coins, they now just give you the money instantly how long until they remove coin pouches and just give you money on looting enemies? or remove items as a whole, just giving you money might as well remove bandit camps too, just place a chest there with moneyno wait, the grand plan is removing the game, replacing it with just the map, letting us press "interact" bandit camp markers on the map and handing out the money that way
>>565601179>>you no longer see the open loading bar on pouches with coins, they now just give you the money instantlywait WHAT they got rid of that?
>>565601302it's not a bad change, but it did make me realize I got a small amount of dopamine seeing that fucking bar fill up lmao
>>565601481i liked it thats not even in the patch notes wonder what else they got rid of
>>565600878I dont know why the small bones cost for earrings in particular are so ridiculous. It's like 45x and 70x for the final two stages if I recall. Per earringIf you regularly check in at your camp vendor who sells them every day for a couple in game weeks you'll probably be fine but most people dont do that because why the fuck. I hate killing innocent animals in games. It's not enjoyable and not even fun unless they're a monster or giant bear at least or something
>>565601179>reductio ad absurdum
>>565600485It seems like corrections can never be subtle. Stamina is so powerful and lasts forever. It was honestly a bit too fast to drain at the start, but the buff more than doubled and almost tripled it. Typical overcorrection. Then they made the natures thing sonic boom thing official. I'm conflicted because I love the boom effect and zooming, but nothing else matters now. The answer to everything is always triple palm, then zoom 10x further than a fully kitted and leveled legendary horse will get you in the same amount of time, and its basically free and spammable.
>>565601978this isnt hogwarts legacy pal
>>565582136>doesnt even have a thing to help line up the shotwhat retarded engineers are there in pywel?
>>565580410>>565583609It still shows you where every node and cave is. I'd argue that is even more detrimental to the experience of discovery.
>>565593932Honestly given all the apprehension leading to its release, it's been far less dramatic than I was expecting. And unlike CD, it's been getting like 9.5/10s all across the board when you don't count critics, not that any of them were giving it bad scores either.
>>565602180Fucking KEK spat out my fucking drink thank you for that asshole lmao
>>565593746If you could have them or any other NPC as a convoy, that would be cool. A custom bodyguard, someone to hire to protect automatic trade wagons, or an escort with specialized abilities. Some fight with you, another is maybe a non-combatant specialized herb picker, or insect picker, or has other specific abilities. I guess Kuku packs or other things already negate that need, but meh.
>>565602798alright good to know, I won't be ringing them until I've thoroughly explored around themshame about the Shai kiddo hiding around the bells though
>>565601978He has a valid point. They're chipping away all the bits that leads to a very hollow experience. It's still early, but they're moving fast at doing that. I don't like this at all. Sometimes you need some rough edges for a better experience. Imagine if eventually they just delete all animations from the game? You don't loot anything anymore, you just run over stuff and if its 20yd from you it auto hoovers and just disappears from the ground and goes straight into your infinite inventory? That looks weird, lacks sovl, and is boring. But this is exactly the kind of thing that is happening, but in all aspects of the game, not just the example I gave. It's a boiling frog situation. You won't notice it until you see how the game was, then see how many small flourishes were sacrificed for the sake of "streamlining".
>Struggling to get fleece>farm ain't up yet cause 10k>think my kliff is a good boy and wouldn't kill people's farm animals for it>I'm out on some quest and see a shepherd leading what must be forty sheepnot like this...
>>565603762CD basically went exactly in the direction I wanted devs to draw inspiration from RDR/BotW and run with, but I'd honestly love even more autism - make the map 5x this size, make convoys with guards matter, take provisions into account and which towns/where to make camp to rest in before reaching your destination etc
>>565604278OHHHHH DO YOU SEEEEEALL THE SHEEP
>>565604214The boiling frog thing is another fallacy. You can't boil a frog that way, so the analogy is just made up. There is a point where you draw the line and streamlining animations when opening one coin pouch of thousands you will be opening in the game is not it.But you're free to doom.>>565604278My life of crime started with a book. I just wanted to read it and put it back where it was, but the game wouldn't let me...
>>565604494Yeah I wish they had more of a direction towards a sandbox world. I'm being 100% serious when I say ditch the attempt at an overarching story (maybe still have the first 2 chapters until you get your camp) and just go all in on immersion.I wish one of these devs had played mount and blade warband / bannerlord before. Can you imagine. Imagine if that siege chapter was just happening organically at all sorts of locations across the world regularly.
Soooo theres literally 0 weight to controls now right?Like im not imagening this, kliff turns instantly now right
>>565605309No, you will still bump into everyone while trying to position yourself in front of the NPC you want to talk to like a fucking drunkard.
>accidentally killed bounty target in desert>got attacked and bugged out the bounty due to a glitchy wagon>left his corpse there>two in game weeks later go back>body still thereUh, here's that mummy you guys were looking for.
>>565603115:)have a good day
>removing the rdr2 clunk is bad
>>565605309yep, see >>565536630
>>565605309>>565605395Character momentum is the worst thing Rockstar ever cursed the videogame industry with. Stephen Hawking is more agile than GTA5 and RDR2 player characters.
>>565605227I didn't even say anything about this game dying and you're calling me a doomer. Why do you people always see in black and white? Have you literally never played any other game in your life? This is how any game that gets continual patches goes. The difference here is that this game has more sovl to lose, and the rate that they're stripping it out is faster than average.
>>565605738It's not the momentum itself that was the problem, it's how far they take it. Crimson Desert after some patches feels like pretty close to ideal. For super sweaty games, you want responsiveness above all else, which means kind of ugly animations. But if you want to feel immersed and have natural and beautiful animations, you need to give up a little bit. Crimson Desert bosses felt really high octane and fast and erratic, so moving like molasses there just frustrated players, myself included. They likely intended for players to block/guard more and use rolls and side steps more strategically, rather than constantly.
>>565606337>Crimson Desert after some patches feels like pretty close to idealI just did the giant mecha boss at the circus and that fight felt like absolute dogshit precisely because of the movement. Grappling onto its shoulders and stuff to stab feels awful and clunky as fuck
>>565605626>>565605738>>565605395I played on launch and every patch but right now its instant
>>565606635>did Keg Lord the hard way>having trouble with getting anywhere near him due to the explosives spam>can't get on top for his head weakpoint>find out you can just stand outside the arena and use nature's snare to catch every explosive and cheese the fight
>>565607020the thing is I knew exactly what I had to do, it just felt awful in practice because of how clunky axiom force grappling still is. it's objectively a very simple and easy boss. 1 stab the shoulders, go all out on its hand weak point with your dps, 1 stab the head and you're done. the difficulty is in how fucking annoying it is to get onto and grab those shoulders while it also spams annoying bullshit at youit's the kind of boss where if the movement was nailed down perfectly it would be such a fun fight that you could get fancy with. as it stands i never want to do that again
>>565606635i play kbm and it feels good to me, so idk maybe its a controller issue. two shot the circus boss
>>565607467to be fair the fight did make me think it would have gone smoother if I had upgraded my dagger. I dont think my critical hit on the weakpoints were doing the "correct" amount of damage. after taking out the shoulders I still had a decent chunk of the bar left I had to deal with using regular attacks
>>565607407Same. I knew what to do it was just getting in the right spot without being knocked back by spam. Could have been a really cool fight. It was definitely a jumpscare. I was not prepared for another bossfight right after just finishing the moon ayylmaos.
>>565606337isn't it in a pretty good position now? you get a bit of weight and heft while moving around outside combat, but once you ready a weapon you're able to move much less constrained
>>565607832I can't wait to do every single stat adjusted boss with my wife Damiane!
I played 14 hours today. I can't stop.
>>565602798>It still shows you where every node and cave isthis isnt true, theres tons of things missing from my map after ringing bells and ive only found them from looking at the map and going "huh that road leads to nowhere, wonder if theres anything there"
>>565590868
>>565608440I played 10 hours yesterday, got a headache, took a short walk, then played for 3 more hours lol
>>565602798>It still shows you where every node and cave is.Doesn't show any caves or nodes. There are quest rewards that show you where some caves are but not all. The bells just reveal the map and question marks. Doesn't even show you all faction bases.
>>565607020you can climb him
>>565609080I always got knocked off or slipped off. Same issue the giant enemy crab bosses especially the smaller one that had less back area to stand on.
Is there a problem with rushing the main questline? Will I get locked out of content that way? I did a ton of sidequests early on, but I just started chapter 5 and realized I did almost no side content on chapter 4.
>>565609294Rushing the main quest makes it feel like you barely touch most of the areas. When you're done you'll realize you have hardly seen most of the world. There are also gears and upgrades you'll miss that can be useful. I wouldn't recommend it.
>>565609294you dont get locked out of content. if anything, trying to explore some areas early does get restricted just a bit, but not that much. the main reason i would recommend against it is because unless youre a gamer pro, some bosses are going to be pretty frustrating unless you power up doing side content first. and also it breaks the flow of a game a bit if you "save the world" and then you're doing small side quests after. not major either, but something to note
I hate this game *plays 50 more hours*
chapter 8 is the point you explore everything
>>565609294is there a reason you want to rush the main quest? isn't nice to have it on the side as you explore, gradually unlocking more mechanics and systems? I'm just about to finish chapter 4, I've barely made it outside of the first area. 160 hours or so. you can easily spend 200 hours just exploring Hernand if you appreciate the world design and don't fly everywhere
>>565609289i just waited until he did the slam then jumped directly on his head
>unique cloak from the super secret pailune vault>cant refineFUCKING WHY
>>565602127>NOOO WHY DID THEY DO SOMETHING FUN AND UNIQUE INSTEAD OF BEING *MORE* LIKE ZELDA???!?
>>565617551yeah no way you'll get by without that 2 defense into the stash it goes
>>565617551Because it has 5 ice resistance. It'd be too op otherwise :^) They should just have upgrade paths if they're going to do shit like this.
>>565618217What are you even talking about you psycho? Who mentioned Zelda? Only you.
>>565575739>Nah, you either have that by default or you unlock it from the very first chain of puzzles. I've had it since forever and I've only done about 2/3 of the main story and the abyss puzzles.nta but you don't actually have it unlockedit's different from the one that boost you up
they should make this game gooder
should I be playing this game with M+KB? I keep hitting axiom force on L3 like a tard while in the middle of fights.
>>565618776>10 different cloaks with cold weather resistance >1 ((one)(singlular)) cloak for fire resistance>100 cloaks with 3 resistance of a random elementWhy? Just give me a socket or two on cloaks, make resistance gears give 1/3/5/10 resistance but be exclusive to cloaks and let players have unbridled fashion with full effectiveness.
>>565619406Literally every medieval open world game ever has boring horse trotting, there's more than enough of that in gaming. No point crying over fun flying making horses irrelevant.
>>565617551you have zero need for that extra defense anon, don't be a shitter
>>565623094>>565618339im just waiting to find the right fashion to waste mats on. unstylish slobs.
>>565621792the engoodening is happening every week, it is very good
>>565600878you can try to find wolves
>>565622362>10 different cloaks with cold weather resistancecloaks are... le warm?>>565623225I've been rocking the same outfit for 60 hours in hernand, although I swapped out the knights gauntlets you get from Rhett for the Honour Guard leather gauntlets, which look really cool. I spent 20 minutes a week ago or more just experimenting with the few red dyes I've unlocked, loving all the customization options on each clothing item. I ended up keeping the default moss green, red was too similar to the bleed bandits I was fighting at the time. I've swaped out the jewelry and gauntlets so far. I've heard many cloaks aren't dyable, I fucking hope there's some that are or they will have to dictate the direction of each outfit
>>565622105M+KB if you're bad with inputs. I Suck at fightjbg games s putting each skill to its own key makes the combat way smoother and I can consistently do combos now. Also hold to dodge makes you dodge as soon the key is pressed so turn that on if you're having trouble dodging. The original is release to dodge because the dodge attack is dependent on you holding down the key. With hold to dodge it's significantly more difficult to do the dodge attack with the key combo but that's not an issue if dodge attack has its own key.
>log in>play dress up for 20 minutes>log outIt's been a fun 250 hours, a lot longer than open world games usually hold my attention. but I think it's time to move on.
>>565627368Next update will add swimsuits, trust. For Kliff only.
the final boss was...something. I kept trying to stab it when I was supposed to hit it with aerial force palm lmao

>>565637120why would i change perfection
>>565637154i dont recall that fight being particularly bad, are you playing on hard?
>>565637491yes. says online I should be able to mount his back but I'm not having any luck. I hate this brute force attrition shit
>>565637687i only managed to do that once on a random big shitter, just jumped on him accidentally and then i could stab him dragons dogma style
>>565637120I feel your intentions are pure, but this is not the way to keep a general on life support. Eventually you actually become the gay retard you're larping as and are doomed to spending your golden years seething on /vr/.
wow damiane is really fun when you start using unarmedshame her 2h is so slow
>>565637808I beat him finally. I had a flame spear on me and it completely butt fucked him. It's fragile so I saved it for phase three, even got a couple mounts on him.I can't help but feel like the game is gaslighting me. I'm using a new controller pressing the right buttons at the right times and the char does nothing quite often. I did one attempt with the only goal to spam finisher. I wasn't able to get blinding flash to go off for an entire phase, going out of my way to use it. I'm not an amazing player by any means but holy cow. Gotta get better at reading and reacting either way
oh this is new
>>565640219You should have seen pre-nerf Kearash. Many got hard filtered. I kept getting stunlocked in a corner by his attack combos and didn't have enough stamina to do anything. The next 40 bosses felt easy after that.
how to break this wall with three rocks in it?
>exp capped on Kliff>no more artifact from killsit's over for me, bros....
>>565644094I've already unlocked every skill for all three characters. Now I just need to farm the other mats to max stam, hp, and spirit. At this point the extra artifacts are just taking up room in my inventory and I haven't even finished half of the sealed artifact challenges.
>>565644094How do you tell?
>>565643151go into focus with x and then hold middle mouse buttonaim the leaf at the balls and when the balls glow let go
>>565644094I've heard the experience bars are independent per character if you really need more.
>>565644094>exp cappedwait that can happen? how are you supposed to level gear?
>>565644968it doesnt work on this one, theres three balls inside the one rock.
>>565644602The left side exp bar grayed out permanently when you hit cap. Now I have to move the +exp abyss gears to other characters and clear re-blockades with them.
>>565636734cling works wonders when hes trying to wind up, or if you want to avoid one of his more painful combos. you can also palm into the air and float to buy time while he finishes. if you have some bow skills, you could also use sliding shot to get some extra damage in from a distance too
>>565645204do it 3 times...
>>565644094i just dont get why they would cap this if they made abyss artifacts unlimited by robbing people at scholarstone
>>565526783Flame Knight's castle. That shanty town in the witchwoods by the witches house. Those 2 I remember off the top of my head.
>>565645751i booted this shit back up just to prove you wrong and i guess the game was having a moment before because i couldnt break any of them
>>565646928flame knight has a quest objective attached to it i did find a shield at the circus tho
>>565647208you were probably missing
>>565647208Sometimes if you're too close it doesn't count. You have to stand surprisingly far away.
Was that free pet abyss cat always there at the entrance to the building in the abyss when you get your flight skill or did they just add it?
>>565640872I still got corner stomped quite a few times
>>565645481>you can also palm into the air and float to buy time while he finishesthis was a life saver. I'd jump up and float to focus then spam finisher
>>565647278youre missing
>>565647639it was always there
>>565644973They're not and I think that's really cool
hotfix is inbound
>>565646386that doesn't work
Lmaoooooo hotfix is out now
>>565649867last trip the other day that netted me 11 artifacts says otherwise
>>565636734The regular swings can all be step dodged but they take precise timing. When he chimps out you need to force palm jump and hide on the upper ledge. you can do that to all of his attacks aside. He'll jump up and punish you if you stay.
oh boy a woman on the side of the road needs help! i sure hope this isnt a bandit trap!

>>565656012Retard
>>565655997disalbe HDR
>>565656012You should ideally be using a 4060 or a above. 4060 can pull off 60 fps with Ray Regeneration+ frame gen. The game looks merely okay without RR and withoit it the indoor lighting gets fucked up from the low resolution ray tracing.

Oongka's warhammer moveset is pretty fun. You can spin to win and do sick head smashing move with just right click.
>>565659102>he doesn't enjoy medieval long haul truckingthat's a negatory, good buddy :(
>>565659396hes hella boring, unless there are a million hidden moves. all hes got is generic repeating light, generic repeating heavy, spin2win, and 3 hit leaping strike. thats literally it. nothing else.
Looking back at the 260 hours put into this game, the only fun parts are the puzzles, sightseeing and gimmick bosses. And as much as people shit on the story at least the main quests have cool setpieces and big battles.>BountiesCould be fun but there are no randomly generated bounties and they are trivial to complete.>SidequestsThe vast majority are fetch this/find this person/deliver this quests. Boring and trivial.>Clearing camps and fortsTrivial even on hard mode. You don't even need to heal if you know what you are doing.>Wagon tradingRepetitive once you know which roads to take.>Fencing wagons/animals>Farming>Animal husbandry>Fishing>MinigamesUtterly boring and/or tedious>House decoration/barbieI am not a woman.I like Pywell, but unfortunately there's no reason to stay once you are done with the game.

I just picked up around 40 giant snake scales. Do these things renew or are they limited and I should be savvy with them?

>clear out a quarry>travel to camp to dispatch a mining mission to that quarry>it get immediately captured again
>>565662479The finisher abyss gear?
>>565667982You rike?
>>565667982thats why you set the recapturing shit to off
>>565667982Redditors requesting for completely retarded features even though they haven't finished the game.
>>565667982It's very silly that the feature is turned on by default now. It should only unlock post main quest and even then be off by default.
outlaws always explain themselves while i carry them to jail, what if they are actually innocent?
Why is there not a duell sidequest where you duell other guys in main cities like the very first mini boss knight you fightThat was cool
>>565671014It's weird how that guy just fucks off and is never mentioned again. He should have joined the Greymanes.
>>565670967you can let them go at any moment, anon, its up to you to believe them or not
>>565671110You can find him idling around in Hernand castle's courtyard.
its kinda weird that a game with this much content barely gets any post here and it hasnt even been 2 months yet, maybe people are just avoiding spoilers?
>>565672329ill be honest with youi put around 300 hours in the gamei finished almost everythingi kept waiting for updates on content i really dont want to play (reblocking, boss rematches)i am glad they put the things in therebut i have come to the realization i dont want to play anymore because i already explored and did everythingit was awesome i tell you whatbut just like a magician trick loses its charm once you know how they do it the game loses its appeal once you explored everythingi think i am ready to delete the game and move oni am a little sad
>>565672571rematches are cool but they should not have been an update, it will not retain players. 300 is already a lot for a 70$ game, hopefully we get a paid DLC like dark arisenim still hoping for a dogma 2 DLC...
>>565672329i was waiting for boss rematch and for repop but like the anon above im kinda just burnt out now and those two things i've wanted didnt really do anything for me. i want to say dlc will get me back into it but i am not sure that it will, im also not even close to 100% in this game and as much as i like it it will be a major chore to get it
>>565672329The loot and character progression are boring and there's no replayability.
ok the abyss is cool sometimes
>>565670967yeah the innocent guy had the same suspicious note as every other wanted criminal sure
>>565674705>get to the end of all this>go to next skyway>you cant go here yet>theres no teleporterwhy
tai-fu
>>565672571bro you got three HUNDRED hours out of this gameother games have 8
kek an npc asked why I snuck into her house, If she only knew how badly beaten her guards are downstairs
>>565677025its hard to deprogram yourself from years of live service indoctrination, anon
Total star wars overhaul when
>>565679303kys
>>565670967Outlaws are weird. Some will be actual serial killers and others are stealing bread to survive and then there's this guy.>I just like pissing on things!>I am a piss artist!
>>565664786Your mom a big ho
>>565660235I’m sorry you’re not only gay, but also retarded ;(
This latest patch is underwhelming asf. Boss rematches on hard mode + resonate are still easy as fuck, same with the fort repops, also my bird feeder disappeared and isnt with Carl. Game has crashed like twice too. This shit blows
>>565687003My bird feeder disappear in 1.04 and wasn't in the recover items. I had to install a mod that makes it purchasable at the general vendor in Hernand.
>>565681438No you first faggot
The base for a good DLC is already there, they just need to add a more focused story and some dungeons and it would be perfect
>>565689712never gonna happen
>>565689790Why not, at the speed they are dropping updates imagine what they could do in one year
>>565689919dlc for the 2 unreachable eastern regions surebut the story is not gonna get overhauledits hidden away in the narrative journal theres so much shit that should have been explained ingame to the playeryou can only hope for a sequel
>>565690026Im not asking for them to remake the main story but for another chapter. Like the Witcher 3 DLCs which had a better story than the main game
Call me a 12yo and all that I love being an edgelord.
>>565691514you must DYE
I would like sex from Damiane
>>565693121She'll give you the blank stare throughout and start scribbling into her notebook halfway, but I guess that's what you like about her.
>>565691514>edgelordpfsh, in that pastel rainbow armor? get real kid.
>>565672329not a typical game for /vg/ and I bet most anons see the shit posting in the /v/ threads and just decide to play rather than wade in the muck lol
>>565672571Try pacing yourself next time lolI'm soon at 170 hours, ready to start chapter 5 300 hours is good value though
>>565672571I also clocked in 300 hours but it's weird. I didn't enjoy it a lot of times but it kept me playing for hours.
>>565694214I also like her legs
>>565473584Cute picture. Post a picture of your kliff on a building with a food item of your choice in your hand (you won't).
>>565691514Can't wait to get the Dark Marksman cloak but i've made a rule to not get any cool looking armors unless I come across it naturally (as in, progressing through the story to where I get to the region it's located in).Feel like a game like this if I get my favorite drip to early i'm gonna get burned out of my characters design far too quickly.
>>565697045man of culture
>>565697053The ingame weather is kind of shit right now but how about an egg in these trying times?
so how do you make bank with a wagon? I have to do it for the challenges plus just for fun
>>565697045what are you straight
>>565699745It's kinda long
Is aerial stab a good way of getting around still
>>565698362>>565702238
Did they change the color of light sources like torches and stuff a bit or am I going schizo? They look a bit whiter compared to harsh orange before
Does anyone experience longer than usual loadtimes when fast traveling to certain abyss areas? I swear I had a few last upwards of 20 seconds (most times fast traveling is like, 3-5 seconds max) but certain abyss points take longer. I legit thought I got locked. I've got a fast PC so that's not the issue.
I assigned axiom force to a paddle button on my turtle beach controller and it feels amazing. now if only I could unbind crouch from that button
wait there was a 230mb patch couple hours agowhat did it do??
>>565718056reduced damiane's thigh width by 2%
THEY FIXED ITFUCKING YESSSSwhat bugs did they introduce now though lol
Not a fan of the disguise shopThey should be acquiered from the respective bandits
MFG in this game is so fucking good, I don't know if it's because there is a lot of intertia but I don't even notice any lag at MFG x4 and MFG does bother me in other games
>>565724043qrd? i thought its still bugged
>>565718821you have Snakes choke hold ability, doing a shake down from there would be cool.Overall I wish they went further into the rpg/immersion side of things, the world has so much potential for it
>>565724306Its only bug is showing a weird blur on a very thin line at the bottom of the screen when you're in motion. Otherwise, it's probably the best feeling FG.
god i fucking HATE yann
I'm annoyed that I just had to look up the stable location. I've been there a few times but couldn't find it on the map today. I tried the search function on the map but there was nothing under "s" for stable. Probably listed under it's proper name
wat do?
>>565728992you can filter out places now to find whatever vendor or poi youre looking for like map genie except you need to have discovered and been there before first
>>565729638natures snare
I'm confused about dye recipes. I see there is a list of basic colors and then different shades of each. Which do I want to unlock to get shades of grey and black and can I do it with improvised ingredients?
>>565736863might be better off googling how to get the grey ones out in the world as opposed to going to the trouble to finding the individual ingredients to craft, i found the greys and similar out and about not by crafting
>>565737529fair enough.I'm not far in the main story but so far I don't see what people's problem is with it. The greymanes feel fleshed out and are satisfying to restore and all the other npcs feel right at home in a Conan story. A perfect backdrop for exploring a fantast world.
>>565740167The issue isn't the fantasy world, that's the good bit. The problem is that it's the Abyss meta plot that sucks ass, and the game frontloads with that in the bizarre fever dream first chapter where you get teleported around and told that you're the Chosen One after giving a beggar one (1) bronze coin.
>>565740167it will shit the bed later, it is not a good story all in all
>>565743026The story hook sucks balls and backward. To the audience, the chosen one special power asspull needs to come after Kliff proved himself, not before.
>>565740167The story is fine. They just wait way too long to reveal most of it so you will forget important characters later.>>565743026>you're the Chosen One after giving a beggar one (1) bronze coin.It's revealed seconds later that the beggar wasn't a beggar but a supernatural being. Same with saving the cat for the shai. You know right away that these supernatural forces are trying to get you do to good in the world.
I will pay again and $100 if they re-release the same exact map with a custom character creator, make the world more more interactive with emoting (let us sit on chairs), more dialogue, and romance. Finish the engine so you can sail the seas+swim underwater. Delete the main story so you're a nobody that can make your own. Fix trading to be more interesting. Instead of the main quest, add a more interesting and dynamic alliance/betrayal system between all the houses. Make a really epic quest for them with branching paths and consequences. Fix jails so they aren't wooden cuckboxes, and make bounty marks harder to catch and dangerous, and make them procedurally generated and spawn requests at town boards or posts around the region. Make them smarter. Lock doors behind them, stun you, run through homes, barricade, use slicks or smoke bombs. Use NPC dialogue to hint where they are, make specific days and time matter in tracking. Improve NPC AI. Nerf the combat power so soldiers are tougher. Add more random events while wandering around, including monster attacks, ambushes etc. Add more minigames, and make the circus more than a vehicle for a single boss fight, and also make it so they pack up and travel around to different regions. Make underground dungeons, maybe even a city. Add more cool creatures like the walking trees with a house in it. Let the game allow you to buy homes or even entire noble estates, or fund to have it built yourself. Reuse those assets! Expand construction missions so liberated nodes opens up new ones to repair damage. Let cities and villages also be attacked. Add arson and criminal path content. Add a couple more stealth mechanics and add sneaking content. Distract with sounds, take cover, move bodies, etc.And finally, release the tools for modding. Do this, and your game will be remembered for a century. It's that easy. Just do it.
Marksman cloak is so kino
>>565726931look at naira there, looking all cute and pretty :3
>>565726931The abyss guardians put Kliff through 108 cycles of life and death and in all of those timelines Yann was always a cunt. He is the constant on the universe.
>>565749174False. Yann isn't even mentioned because the retard dev gave his story spot to Oongka.
>>565751485Well I'm going to make a mod to change the books and each entry will end with "And Yann is still a cunt."
>People actually defending the spastic lighting in this game ITTjesus christ. cant let a single thing be criticized can you?
>>565752412what ar eyou talking about, go to /v/ they shit all over the game all the timeand yes the lighting is ass in the dark, no doubt about that. the spastic part is just normal since the lamp is on the hip so the rear side will always have a cast shadow. idk i think that part is fine, its w/e
>>565752412the lighting, especially in the dark, is annoying as fuck
>>565659804>Bounties>Could be fun but there are no randomly generated bounties and they are trivial to complete.The dumbest part is that they're specific characters hand placed in parts of the world, with a clear backstory. They ripped this off directly from Red Dead but in Red Dead, Arthur/John actually converse and engage with the bounty. You get SOME semblance of a narrative. In this game, you just beat them up and have to listen to 3 lines on repeat all the way back to the "prison". And to top it all off, the prison guard guy repeats the exact same fucking line to you, for every single bountyIt's the laziest system in the game. They seem to have started on it and not even finished it halfway, it's sad
:O
>fundie goblins retake a place>no elites>no rishi bootsboots doko..
>>565752412find it strange people jump on you for point out issues of the game, even anonymously when they get nothing out of defending dog shit mechanics or bugs or the terrible story
>>565753653>find it strange people jump on you for point out issues of the game, even anonymously when they get nothing out of defending dog shit mechanics or bugs or the terrible storyanyone who talks like this is clueless that they're a whiny bitch ane people are just telling them to stfu already. Nothing is perfect.
>>565726931he WILL be the first dlc character
>Trying to recruit several cats at once>all the villagers are tripping over themselves to eat food off the ground>trying to tiptoe around an ocean of cats to recruit the ones that reach 100 without scaring off the others>game is still broken since recent patch where new companions you recruit will all stay around at the same time and can't be dismissed right away>crashes to title on the fifth catIt's an abstract kind of hell
>>565748206>Finish the engine so you can sail the seas+swim underwater.That's not a limitation of the engine and underwater content always sucks ass. Larger sailing boats or ships would be cool but I'd rather see more dynamic quests in the vast landmass we already have than another fucking transportation system that is guaranteed to be the most boring one>Fix trading to be more interestingThere's no other action games that has trading that comes close to what we have already, there are a ton of other things that could do with some fleshing out before trading needs attention All your other suggestions are great
>Chase bounty into house, see a few chests>Bounty runs out>Nobody else around>Might as well>Bounty runs back in while I'm looting a chest - becomes a witness>He says "It's shit like this..." as if I'm a bigger scumbag than him>Tackle him into a bunch of pots>Vandalism as well>Beat the shit out of himlmao
>>565753653please study English a tad more before posting
>>565752816Is there a real effect or is that just meme text?
why is this the only cutscene in the game I can't fastforward through ffsthe guy has a bs moveset too
>>565758918it gives you chocolate every couple of minutes120hp heal
>>565758921this fucker is BULLSHITyou can't grab him but he can grab you?what's the point of levelling grappling if you can't use it when you need it
>>565758437dam that water displacement looks good tho
>>565758921because you have to respect the winner>>565759264its to make you feel like a powerless cuck before him. it worksalso the game needs to have some kind of generic backup throw animation when you try to grab something bigger than you. some kind of consolation for the people baited into investing into grabs
>>565759924apparently you can just cheese it by standing in the doorway and waiting out his combos
>>565751485>Yann isn't even mentioned because the retard dev gave his story spot to Oongka.No, Oongka was there from the start. It was Damiane that robbed Yann and turned him into the retard drunk he is in the final game.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oveOw84tUVU
>>565757964>standing in flowers near some buildings in Deleysia countryside>try to use kuku insect gathering pack>forget I have disruptor pack enabled>goes off and somehow triggers explosions>multiple murders and vandalism chargesI still don't even know what happened. I've accidentally triggered it in a city before and nothing happened.
>>565760158Damiane replaced not!Yennifer as the obligatory playable female character.
is there actually upgradeable wagon axels and mud to get stuck in? This guide is clearly copy pasted directly from chat gpt (actually) and I'm afraid it might be hyping this up with bullshit, because what it's describing sounds amazing. I'm just trying to figure out how to see what outposts are buying and to clear up the 25 unit minumum.https://pixelnitro.com/crimson-desert-trade-wagon-guide-2026-master-trade-missions-and-maximize-silver/
>finally beat the game>story is literally just ripping dragons dogmawow, so koreans literally have zero creativity. ive said in the past ironically, but now i see i shouldnt have. koreans are legit soulless. wtf
>>565764090It's fake, man. AI slop is everywhere. There were even physical guides being sold on Amazon with AI art covers before the game was even out. Look at this picture. They don't even get this shit right.
>>565760230>DelesyiaThere is your answer. It doesn't matter if its a small village, the entire region is mechanized. Your EMP obviously hit something and hurt a person near it, rigged walkie-talkie style.
>>565765162it seems the upgradeable axles are bullshit but I'm messing around with it now and there are in fact mud holes to get stuck in, and push yourself out of. It's even affected by seasons. For example at the merchant's guild there is an icon indicating I am currently in the rainy season, therefore there is a higher risk of mud and I should pack accordingly.ngl, this is starting look closer to my autistic "medieval Snow Runner" dream than I had hoped.
how do i get rid of this shit it's taking up all my inventory
>>565767237do purples even count towards inventory space? if you read the thing/do the bounty you should be able to sell them and for everything else theres the collectibles chest
>>565764952This is absolutely (broadly) the case with all their media and it really fucking makes it seem like that, however they do have a handful of movies and tv shows that are good. It's a cultural issue, in my estimation. They're a hyper capitalist western society mixed with asian hierarchy feudalism autism to create an unholy soullessness never before seen. Growing up in this environment results in the media we get from them.One of my favorite tv shows of all time is south korean, it's called My Mister. In a broad sense it's about the ennui and listlessness of modern life and the importance of connecting with other people. It's one of the most soulful works I've ever seen and YET. And yet, it is not able to escape the society it was created in. At the end of the show, for almost all the charaters, the idea of "success" and a happy ending is directly tied to how much status and money they have / implied they will accumulate. It's like for the whole show everyone is struggling with existence itself, money being just one of many concerns, but in the finale the show still has to be like "oh and dont worry guys they all became rich and shit"
Is crit even good or is it just a meme?
dropping in on the circus
does the game run any good on intel gpus (if at all )?t. lowly intel nigger
>>565768867dont really know the performance of those but should be ok, its not well optimised but not a total piece of shit either.
>>565768867the performance is okvisual stability is not. tons of bugs. legit wait until the end of the year at the earliest. im not kidding, faces are literal black voids, lots of flickering, stuff like that.
>>565768686It's good, it's just not as good as focusing entirely on attack. That's the meme part
>>565769365>faces are literal black voidswat
>>565764090>>565765162I tried searching for how to get the abyss artifacts off from a particular animals neck, got an AI result at the top with completely made up mechanics like being able to trigger a "chase sequence" from horseback
>>565769397Ah what a shame
>>565494503Or at least an abyss portal in front of your house so you don't have to jump over fences and wagons to get to a retarded useless bridge.
>>565517012Anyone else get their free abyss kot?
>>565770413You can get 3 free crit from the kuku armor, but then you're missing out on 3 abyss gear slots so it's up to you. But that's the only slot where you can get crit without sacrificing attack. Like an 11 attack necklace is so much better than a 4 crit 5 attack one that every youtuber will tell you to get for the ultimate epic build
>>565576190I used that place to farm abyss cells until I got my farm and fertilizer sprayer since there are a few abyss crabs nearby and they respawn every time you fast travel back in the hole.
Pets collect everything now. Even shit that drops from boxes you break and a lot quicker too.
I have a couple trucking jobs under my belt now and I really enjoy the gameplay, until it's time to back the thing up. Crusing in first person and navigating rough terrain is such an immersive way to spend time in this beautiful world. Not having gps on the mini map is great because it forces you to think about the route and appreciate how all the roads are connected.From what I understand there is no way to extract personal wealth from the camp funds, but is there any benefit to having more than just what you need to start comrade quests?>>565768791is the circus always there? It's impressive the details they can show at such distance.
>Adventuring as Damiane>Suddenly a fucking horde of rats>Straight up a sea of them moving across the ground and leaving NPC corpses behindWhat the fuck
>>565771390Buy trade goods with camp funds then take them to the black market.
>>565771390Agree on no GPS. Anytime it's included in a game I have to keep myself from looking at it. Not hard but it's a small annoyance. More games should have in-world navigation or, if they absolutely NEED to have a GPS, have it be in-world as well. Like the wind in Tsushima, or even the road directions in Saints Row 3 at worst. The less I stare at a single corner of the screen, the better.
>>565769412im telling you to save your 70 bucks until the end of the yeardont say i didnt warn you
>>565770705wtf is that monstrosity
>>565773805that wasnt me, ive played for 90 hours and havent seen this once
fucking just realised my bird feeder got removed from existence, guess i wont be getting any birds.
>>565773982A BDO reference I hope gets taken to its conclusion in a later patch. I want to grow my Heuklang into a mighty mount.
>>565764952>>565767897https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1gGxpitLO8literally just copy paste this in the game. they really have no sovl
>>565455635There is no point. It's just a glorified tech demo to look at all the pretty graphics.
oongka sex
>>565776471Should have been a buff orc woman. Give our boy Kliff a harem.
>>565455635>>565473584>0 char progress Wtf do you mean, skill unlocks and gear-bound stat increases are there, retard>all gear is identical in statsIt isn't, and abyss gears afford flexibility in what gear you use instead of being stuck with one op weapon. + there are several rare items with built in special features, retard>all skills can be purchased.. So? Retard>combat against fodder is just lawn moving Try upping the difficulty and stop spamming 1 attack + food, retard. I bet you're the sort that uses that one unblockable attack in fighting games
>>565483517>39.4 hoursTherein lies your problem, the game gets good at the 40 hour mark exactly.That was in jest, btw, go play something with yellow paint telling you how to have fun.
Are you simple?
>>565490501But enough about marathon, it's got its own thread, buddy
>>565496586Game is now 1.00.5 or something. Dunno about hotfix tho, haven't had a go this weekend
why is this game the way it is rather than the way it's not

this shit is like a whole new weapon class on its own
Getting a weird issue with trading. Doing it for one of the challenges that requires going to each of the royal trading posts. I check what they want, buy it, then by the time I get there to trade it in, they want something else. This has happened five times in a row, and I'm nowhere near the refresh time.
>>565780362you have to outsmart them anon, buy something they dont want
>>565780362>>565780454Found out the problem. Obviously a bug, but apparently transitioning between regions counts as a "refresh" for the zone, which causes the stock and desired goods to reset. The only way I can bypass this is to keep resetting until I find a trade post in the same region that is also selling what the royal post wants. Hopefully this gets fixed, because it's annoying as fuck.
>>565780673>transitioning between regions counts as a "refresh"lmaoooooooooooo
>>565779997how good are they
Endgame spoilersI was already getting used to punished Kliff and then they made him young again, even cured his neck scar. It was all too sudden

I've unlocked all 3 wagons but the wagon guy won't let me select any other than the worn wagon.
