I learned the hard way with DSR on the switch that the handheld analogue sticks were actual trash. I had the damnedest time on the cathedral rafters against the painting guardians. Get a third party or anything really, just don't play the handheld joysticks.

>>578591780
Change the OP next thread to whatever you want. Network tests are going away and this general might for a while too. Those are just recurring/recent questions I saw asked. With the last test I thought we were going to have those questions asked again a bunch of times.

>>578592213
There’ll be time to revise it and spruce it up… whenever the game actually releases, either this one or the next one will likely be the last thread for a while. I will say it is kind of an eyesore though.

Don't see any Laylas this playtest

Is it first FROM game since sekiro without reused assets?

>>578594717
No, you should know this if you went to the sewers, there is however, a very high amount of new assets compared to NR, ER and DaS3.

>>578594598
Everybody is Zork now, bunch of retards.

Damn, wanted to play with my friend as a duo but can't do it.
So we try to launch at the same time and do an alliance but it seems not worth it Virtue wise.

lmao

>>578595898

>>578596017
Yeah it seems easier in that last schedule.
Previous ones were trash tho

>>578591907
>Gotta make a start somewhere
The start was the network test time table. OP's grow naturally: the release date, if there's a patch the patch notes, general made guides, slowly edited by different people over a period of time.

One guy just filling it with pointless questions half the answers being "idk" is just a clear case of desperation. You see it on /vg/ all the time where some losers get too obsessed with leaving their mark on a general

>>578596017
NTA but I see a lot of the same names, theres no way this network test is as heavily populated as some people are saying

After watching some gameplay I can say this looks like something I’d enjoy, albeit maybe for a limited time depending on where they take the gameplay. I’m not willing to spend money on a switch just for it though. Hopefully the exclusive thing is timed but I won’t hold my breath. Curious to see what the full thing will look like.

>>578594994
Sewer is full of absolutely new rats for the first time since das2

a senator proposed to me, how do I accept it? I offered an alliance since I wasn't seeing a prompt

With major alt right influencers like Grummz and Asmongold hating the game, is there any hope for it to release without any drama that prevents discussions?

this input lag is fucking unreal, surely there's some way to fix it? I tried setting the switch to 1080p manually but that didn't do anything. has anyone found anything to make it not as bad?

>>578598801
Only jumps had input lag, and it's easy to get used to it by the end of tutorial.
Everything else is because you can't cancel animations easily, so there a consequnces of mashing buttons. So git gud.

I have absolutely no idea how the targeting on the snek works though and you need to be at a specific range to land ranged chakrams though which is annoying, if they change how the targeting/hit detection works for these moves then trang will immediately become more solid

>>578604634
Yeah but darkness is much less common than the other 3

>>578603704
It does, but only if there distance.
Also her ranged attacks are amazing because they can be weawed in melee. I can understand many reasons to bitch about her, but not range attacks

>>578604270
Damn, I had suspsicions that there 8, but never got beatrice
Anyway, wolf is very cool
Chair dude because he takes aggro
Others are okay, I guess. Feel bad when get singing dude though.

I NEED YOU TO BURN THIS INTO YOURE MEMORY STOP IGNORING THE LAYLA
You don't need to double team her but for god's sake don't leave her to her own devices. The amount times I have been sniped because some schizo Jan/Samiir needs me dead. Also same warning for Albert. That fucking laser is no joke and has straight blasted me off the side once.

>>578604945
Fagin's title wouldn't really be "leader of the urchins" and if Marlowe is meant to be like fagin that makes him look really bad. My point is that urchin as a term is very secondary, but people associate it so much with Dicken's Oliver Twist that they forget it's actual meaning.

Artful Dodger (which I think Marlowe is more like than Fagin) would be someone you could call leader of the urchins because he himself is a child. Marlow seems to be a grown ass man, I doubt he's leading little kids and I don't think little kids are being led in this context—it just doesn't make sense.

It's ultimately just a weird choice of words which might be caused by translation. Japanese delinquent culture probably has a word for late teenage/young men delinquents which was probably used here.

I think the only thing Asmongold said about Duskbloods is he wishes it wasn’t a switch exclusive. Which I actually think is true for most everyone.

>>578607959
These I actually would expect there to be lore notes on but apparently not
very strange choices but the item descriptions in this game are all great, as high quality as pre-ER

>>578607446
You could argue the Viet girl being a bride to a snake as a sekiro reference. Also cold moon powers = ranni.

Ranni has nothing to do with "moon", she served outter void, utter darkness full of unspeakable horrors

The schizo vandals won /erg/ a long time ago that’s why you have gay shit like

>but it’s confusing
It is not. No one is confused. If I go to the Halo general I’m allowed to talk about Halo Wars there even though it’s a spinoff. We don’t need to put Halo (& Halo Wars) General in the title.

Not the greatest network test ever. Day 1 being pretty much a dud also really put a damper on it. I suppose it did its job of garnering interest but also left a fair amount of doubts and concern. I’ll stay on the fence until I see more.

>>578611657
Weird and homosexual take. There no more efficient way to get virtue than ritual site
Why the fuck would you want hard bosses in the game with timer? Nightreign already had cancer like dragon flying from one part of map to another without contributing to the fight. Also what hp bloat, are you insane? As long as you are agressive they all go down pretty fast
Character design looks amazing and something you would want from the game, also easy to recognzie everyone from distance

How is this games movement so good? Like HOW? How do you go from Dark Souls boring roll combat to this? I really hope that samurai guy is like the sekiro/nightreign guy, and you can parry and clank.

>>578622237
It's first time they used new engine since bloodborne
And unlike bloodborne engine, this one is actually good

>>578622475
How do you know it's a new engine? PC fatties (mostly poorfag east Europeans) were saying it's the same.

>>578622520
Had that impression because for the first time in ages there no annoying clipping through clothes, and there shadows from different sources of light(first time soulsborne games had it since das2 ps4 rerelease)
Delay on jump, despite sekiro and er not having it(but this one maybe because of game design decision)

>tfw you can't Zork anymore
What are the chances we get another playtest? Will get more news with the gamescom?
>>578623026

>>578623685
>What are the chances we get another playtest?
Pretty low, based on survbey they were pretty confident on gameplay loop and just wanted to test servers and details like how easy it's to farm virtue(I told them to stop making rituals so superior to other ways, but rated ritual sites 10/10, super fun)

Marlowe because the immortality is a complete game changer in the last round if you're down to the final 2, if you take out the other player's kin you'll get to have a reliable 2v1 advantage. Bonus points if you found poison affinity to sync with him.

this will be a system seller btw

nah it wont.

if it was a 'normal' souls game, it would.

this will be a zork seller btw

It's the clerics that do the hysterical VAMPIRE!!! Shouting but the other townsfolk I think had the OG Yharnamite voice
Some of the clergymen dialogue I thought would easily have fit into Mohg's area in ER

Kind of wish the kin were just playable. There are too many interesting designs and powers that are exclusive to NPCs for a multiplayer centric game.

>>578659980
This but particularly I want the time before the ritual starts to be longer.

we need a diego brando skin for the senator (would be the perfect time for jojo's 40th anniversery and the anime episode of diego brando's appearence)

Only two confirmed

being too aware of Fromsoft lore can give u the wildest insight cuz once u realize how Trang Lanh’s setting (“rat” assassin, bride of great serpent) is Sekiro Sunken Valley reference, the decision to place her next to Layla (one-eyed sniper lady) is fr government-mandated yuri

>>578663224
i sometimes played the network test like this and always felt so fucking dirty when the guy got culled kek, granted if I did it to much I would get raped 2vs1 at the end

>>578659980
phase 1 I think should be a little longer, but phase 2 and 3 kept just as they are with it being easier to see ingame where the ritual sites are
not having a lot of time to decide whether you want to go fight the other players or not I think lends a lot to the decision making, I've decided to show up to the shitshow too late like twice now and both times that was on me for thinking I could make up the virtue elsewhere both times

>>578659980
On the one hand I agree, because current phases lenght sucks ass if you fight boss solo.
On the other hand, longer sessions means less people would want to play, because 20 minutes vs 30 minutes is already a pretty big difference in lobby games

>>578663224
preying on casuals sure
in a game with 8 competent players that behavior just gets you culled.

I think it might not release until late november/december. both ER and Nightreign had release dates revealed before the network tests, and that was 3 months later? also, they are gathering balance data from this tests + they have asked everyone to answer the survey, which leads me to believe they don't consider the game ready to ship in sep/oct.

>>578664553
>late november/december release
gta 6 releases then, they aren't stupid so they won't compete with it, they'll wait until january/february

>>578664553
It REALLY feels like an October release game. We have surveys and the like for other games that get demo's like this, and generally no matter what the results of this feedback aren't felt until post-launch updates.

>>578664908
Kadokawa keeps reiterating that it's coming this year even just this last week
That there still is no date yet is nuts but it is what it is

>>578664908
It'll be October or December and digital only for sure.

It’s over

its insane how much more discussion there would be, not just here, but everywhere if this wasnt a switch 2 exclusive. never seen this much butthurt over any exclusives before... not even bb.

If I ran into the guy in 4th or 5th I made it a point to make sure he stayed there
Even if I was on the culling list too

projection, there would not be any seething from retards about platform but still immense amounts of seething about the pvp which is the real thing PVEcucks are getting up to this week

>>578713710
I'm massive pve cuck who avoids invasions by players in all souls games, because Miyzaki just put invaders in massive advantage over host(outside of dark souls 2 which he couldn't ruin with his garbage).
Didn't had any problem with duskbloods, because it's simple and fair with everyone being in same position, nothing like soulsborne invasions or artificial duels.

>>578715884
>Miyzaki just put invaders in massive advantage over host
You could not have played Dark Souls 3 or Elden Ring if you have this opinion. Invaders are gimped to hell and back.

>>578717179
Or, maybe you just a shitter who even with "I win" button finds new ways to complain
Host can't kill boss in zone if he wants to get invaded, invader can progress as much as he wants and then invade.
>bbbut muh gank squads, I don't know how to play even with entire map being on my side
No amount of advantage could fix you being THAT bad at the game

>>578737075
i wish i found a host these days that deleted me like that

>>578620264
Wait really? I've only ever had a passing interest in pvp but If you can play mostly pve then duskbloods seems much more interesting

>>578748069
Even in pve mode you'll need to do pvp if you want to avoid culling, only final event is changed

Come out alreadyyyyyyyy

>>578622237
Fromsoft's been getting better at player movement, Nightreign had some significant improvements compared to ER

>>578748204
In theory you could still avoid it by fighting a secluded pledge area or fighting trespassers by yourself. But that ladder would require a lot of skill. killing the same people actually has diminishing returns. You could stay ahead while avoiding the ritual site entirely. But I doubt many if anybody are that good at the game yet.

>>578749427
All yeah you less sword virtue when you kill people with lower levels than you. Anytime you some get like 20 sword virtue it's because they had a red stone and the person they killed was higher level.

>>578749427
Yes, but items and flames are limited too, so just killing asshole the second you run into him, is usually helps you with pve activities too.
I really loved how unlike other soulsborne games, it's impossible to prolong fight for eternity, thanks to ranged attacks being fast and useful(except for one character who has other means to not be kited)

There are static flames that don't come back but I'm pretty sure there has be ones that spawn purely per round. As mentioned on tutorial, the regional gains change every round. They have spawn in new flame chairs for that to work.

>>578620264
Depends. If the final PvE challenge is stupid levels of hard people might pick the the PvP option for the easier win.

>>578752658
>If the final PvE challenge is stupid levels of hard

Will the final boss be nightreign tier?

>>578752658
I'd be surprised if the pve boss is harder than any of the bosses in NR

>>578753330
Vampyr and Headless Night (Sorcerer)) was already stronger than those

>>578752968
>>578753330
Could be. NR kinda gives you the advantage of preparing yourself with specific buffs and tailoring your bulid for the Nightlord's weakness. If the boss requires pure moveset understanding then it can be harder (especially if you have the NR retard teammates syndrome)

>game isn’t even out yet and it already died
LMAO

>>578754072
this

>>578754072

I assume the balance on the trespassers are going to be whack because players can have wildly different power levels, and also you can do them solo or have literally 8 people with you.

While the end boss is always going to be 3 people. Probably at least

did the solo training arena or whatever it was called work in the NT?

duskbloods is literally the ground floor for the next 10+ years of story, characters and lore in From games just like dark souls was.

>>578757408
yes, you had to press the + button and had like 40 options there from spawning enemies to your kin and what not

>>578757663
I wish I found that. I was only doing tutorial next the archive.

Bloodborne question, is it possible to make root chalice with lost weapon in it right away? Or of I want burial blade for example early in the game I need to either pay for ps+ subscription and use ready glyph or play until loran chalice?

>>578622237
There is no need for that, every character has parry, perfect block and guard counter available

I just wish they would go wild with the marketing now.

>>578768678
2 hours and 40 minutes

>>578757660
That’s… not what that says…

The withdrawal is hitting harder than I thought...

nintendo's probably saving the date for the september direct

>>578775723
I hope not but I wouldn't put it past them. That shit would suck unless it is one of those "you can download it after the direct" situations

>>578776926
I definitely don't think they would shadow drop this game, that would be insanely stupid

>>578715884

I dunno man they seem pretty silly. They aren't leaving much time to hype it up. Especially if they are pitching to people that don't already have a switch 2.

>>578663224
>Jetpack Cat player

The enemies is Duskbloods look terrible

>>578791787
You look terrible

>>578791787
They look like BB enemies. I kinda like it. The pale dudes would fit very well with the church servants/pthumerians.

>>578795950
That's the problem, the big guy just looks like a recycled enemy with a recycled moveset

>>578791787
I like them but I hope there is more enemy variety beyond fodder.

>>578797421
You're right, enemies in future From games should floss and default dance when you die

>>578791787
They look like Bloodborne enemies which is fine but also kinda lazy

Is there a black night equivalent in Duskbloods?

>>578805558
London.

>>578805558
Closest thing so far would be the nikke enemies, but their mechanical movements remind me more of the crystalians and marionettes from elden ring

>>578791910
uncalled for

>>578806184
I found nikke enemies be way easier than cats.

>>578814776
They really are. The cat teleporting can really fuck with the lock on. Plus to compensate for having a move set of only lunges it hits like a train. Also Nikke can be grabbed, I know Samir's skill work I'm pretty sure Baritone and Valentius can grab her too.

>>578816257
>>578814776
I had a lot of trouble with them until I remembered I can jump two stories in the air now
I'm a bit worried about the new jumping mechanics trivializing whatever PvE content they have

>>578817208
Even frog couldn't teach me to jump, despite one of her attacks being impossible to avoid...

>>578817885
>enemy does bullshit attack
>air stall until your own bullshit attack comes off cooldown
By the end of the test this is how I engaged everything in the game

>>578817208
Vampyre and Millhous have no problem hitting people in the air. Bog Lady's jump is an anti-air too. Jumpings shits on everything else but I feel like it has to for the sake of the grind

>back to zero info
I thought that would change after the network test...

So what am I putting in the survey other than Layla is OP? remind me

>>578820430
That trang is dogshit

>>578820526
I thought that was just me not knowing how to use her, what exactly was it then? Ranged attacks didn't really land, and invisibility didn't do anything if they were locked on I think.

>>578821471
I've flat out been inside her snake and not gotten hit by it before, and when it does land the damage is severely lacking for how much commitment it takes to use

>>578820430
Make sure to mention you're a Zork player, rendering your opinion worthless.

network test fucking sucked. yeh they had emotes an shi but there was witewawy no way to hit the gwiddy

>>578820187
it hasn't been 3 days since the test ended yet...

Is there any expo or fanfest or whatever the fuck coming soon where we could see more The Duskbloods footage or information?

>>578830598
There should be a nintendo direct within the first two weeks of september

>>578830598
September direct and TGS are likely

>>578830762
proofs? have they always done it?
