If the optimization is only the stuff they've listed, it's mainly volumetric clouds and foliage. Which can be additional double digit percent better performance, sure, but doesn't really touch the "lack o' skill" coding of NPCs etc. that's hammering the CPU.Modding seems to still be the go-to on that front.
>>2711953iirc they said they would revisit the minimum requirements, those you mentioned sound more like additional options on top of general optimizations. I would hope so, at least
>>2711953Frankly I don't buy the performance optimizations until they actually deliver. If it was already implemented and functional why wait months to release the performance update instead of with the June update? And if it's not implemented and functional then they're just saying that they're gonna TRY improve performance. Was it always possible and they just never got the funding/go ahead to actually implement these performance improvements? Because that's crazy if so.
Surely they must've optimized the game a LOT to get the game running decently on the Switch 2.>It (Switch 2) contains eight Arm Cortex‑A78C cores running a 64‑bit ARMv8 instruction set, with cryptography extensions enabled and no support for 32‑bit code. Each core features 64 KB of L1 instruction cache and 64 KB of L1 data cache. Six cores are available for game development, while two are reserved for system tasks. Clock speeds reach 998 MHz in handheld mode and 1,101 MHz when docked, and the CPU can theoretically burst to 1,700 MHz for demanding operations or future updates.Ignoring the GPU here because they can always just drop the resolution to improve GPU performance, but CPU bottlenecks are a whole other thing, the Switch 2's CPU is pretty much a phone/tablet tier CPU and I would assume it's much weaker than that of the PS5 for example.
>>2712688>optimizedCut out, reduced. If the AI works for 15 meters and/or is missing half the "actions" and cities have a third of the original NPCs it's a completely different game.>running decentlyWe'll see.It's also not *that* weak, it's only ~half a gen behind PS5 which is why you can get Cyberpunk running on it but not on PS4.Which is weak, but... manageable.
>>2712476>Was it always possible and they just never got the funding/go ahead to actually implement these performance improvements? Because that's crazy if so.it's not crazy at all, it's actually completely normal. That's why there's lots of stuff modders do that companies don't, they have to go through a gorillion hoops (mainly, who to pay and for how much time) while modders just do itthem not releasing it in june might be for a lot of reasons, even the simplest "they just wanted to make two updates instead of one before the dlc, to remind people that the dlc is coming more often". After all the timeline now is june update>wait two months>august update>wait two months>DLC, which can be deliberate
Also keep in mind that altering the number of NPCs in any way crashes the game during the battle with the false arisen, any changes they make might have harsh consequences in specific circumstances and they can't afford any more bad PR. Modders can just do whatever they want because the stakes are low
How long till august patch
>>2712974Two years
but how does the game play on steam deck?
>>2713310https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=dragons+dogma+2+steam+deck20 to 30down in the teens when in towns
>>2713316imagine paying 900 yuros for a handheld for silky smooth 10 fps
>>2712739>It's also not *that* weak, it's only ~half a gen behind PS5 which is why you can get Cyberpunk running on it but not on PS4.That's quite stronger than I thought, I'm guessing they're aiming for 30~ FPS on the Switch 2, I wonder if they'll have unlocked FPS still.
>>2713310It's bad, you need frame generation to play at 30 fps in Vermund and it will still drop below that occasionally (which means you're below 15 fps internally). It only has 4 cores tho, minimum specs require 6

It looks like there's a dev interview in the latest Famitsu, transmog has been confirmed.
https://www.famitsu.com/article/202607/80863
>>2716866Say whaaaaa
>>2716866No hard mode on release though.
Pippi can wear other things and still be-ppi...
>>2716866>>2716929More fashion options is welcome but I'd rather see hard mode, more monsters etc
https://www.rpgsite.net/interview/20883-the-motivation-for-this-project-was-passionate-feedback-we-received-from-fans-dragons-dogma-2-dark-arisens-developers-on-expansions-new-gameplay-loop-how-it-affects-unmoored-world-more
>>2717196>The recommended starting level for the 12 dungeons is level 20. And for Norgan, level 40 is recommended. But this is just the starting level; there’s a kind of difficulty gradient. So players can also choose to take on the dungeons at a lower level if they’re seeking a challenge. It seems it will be easier than I was expecting, might have to use shittier gear for the new content at first to get a good challenge?>There won’t be a huge impact on the Unmoored World with the expansion, but what we can say right now is that there will be some of the 12 Lost Rite dungeons challenged in the Unmoored World.Some said that some of those locked off areas were only accessible during UW and this is the confirmation.
Guys... do you think the DLC will see the same resurgence Palworld is seeing right now?
New interviewhttps://www.gamespark.jp/article/2026/07/14/169214.html
>>2716929wow whoa
>>2716929>No hard mode on release though.at least they did mention it. I doubt it'll ever happen, like i don't think they'll keep working on DD2 after the DLC is out (besides the obligatory bug fixes), but stilli was kinda expecting them to say "Norgan itself is the hard mode" but besides their recommended level i don't think that will be it either
Adjustable level cap for player + pawns would be nice
>>2717276I mean yeah there's two doors next to seafloor shrine that are underwater, so
>>2717384>hard mode is under consideration
>>2716929God damn it. I hope there's still time, since they said they are considering it, but what the hell.
>>2717196>But it’s also true that some people may consider that kind of friction as inconvenient, and they want to play the game more casually. So this time, via the title updates we’ve released and plan to release in late August, we’ve balanced them as we’ve just added more options for how to play the game.Dude I can't even leave the Eternal Ferrystone in the storage, you're taking options away. There was a casual mode for that.>For example, we added the Eternal Ferry Stone with the June update, so there’s now an option people have for how to travel inside the world. Of course, there is still the option to just walk or run to the place you want to go. We just added it as an option – we’re not forcing players to use the Eternal Ferry Stone.This is like saying we don't need hard mode because good gear is just an option, so why not go naked instead?>That’s how we balance the core identity of the game, but also make it more accessible by adding options.ffs you created casual mode for that and you're not even working on a hard mode.
>>2716929>says they didn't add level scaling because some people wouldn't like it>but immediately brings up the possibility of hard mode without being asked about it>specifically acknowledges people asking for it since release>confirms it would apply to the main game as well if it does happenAt least this hopefully means we won't get another worthless moneybags "hard" mode if it does happen. But I guess I won't be playing 2DA on release then.
>>2717620Gold hax would be pretty sweet for DD2 desu
>>2716929hard mode was always easy mode in ddda. dont care.

>>2718794FFXIV term for glamour etc. meaning >>2718810Even though silly and game specific (moogles) I think it's a pretty good general term for it since you cettainly can't mistake it for anything else.
>>2718853No wait it's not I'm an idiot haha
>>2717468>Dude I can't even leave the Eternal Ferrystone in the storage, you're taking options away. There was a casual mode for that.Just pretend is not there.>>2717468>This is like saying we don't need hard mode because good gear is just an option, so why not go naked instead?Do you not have selfcontrol?>>2717468>ffs you created casual mode for that and you're not even working on a hard mode.Again... You can always replay the game fresh or cap your level at 5 with mods for extra difficulty
>>2717398>don't think they'll keep working on DD2 after the DLC is out (besides the obligatory bug fixes), but still>i was kinda expecting them to say "Norgan itself is the hard mode" but besides their recommended level i don't think that will be it eitherWrong. If you're here to be pessimistic you can head out. Thanks.
>>2718848But, muh seeker stones... Muh pawn badges...
Griffins flying in from the north..
>>2718861>Just pretend is not there.Why stop at the eternal ferrystone though? I can also pretend the story is good. I can also pretend mystic knight is in the game. I can also pretend the hydra and the cockatrice are there somewhere and I simply haven't found them yet>You can always replay the game fresh or cap your level at 5 with modsWhy bother with mods when I can just not wear any armor and use low level weapons? And if the game is still too easy, why play with both hands when I can just use one?
>>2719086>mystic knightOh... You're one of those. It all makes sense now.

WHEN ARE THEY REMOVING DENUVO SO I CAN BUY DD2, I AM SICK OF WAITING FOR THESE RETARDS
>>2719292Creepy
Are there any mods like Pawn Manager from DD1 for DD2? Something that would let me save my Arisen and Pawn designs? I checked the pastebin and saw one that lets you edit hired Pawns, but I'm more interested in saving my Arisen's design.
>>2719278I think probably 1 year after Dark Arisen so like 3 years after the base game released, for comparison some recent Capcom games that launched with Denuvo and no longer have it>Monster Hunter Rise (2022), Denuvo removed in 2024.>Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective (2023), Denuvo removed in 2023, 5 months after release.>Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy, Denuvo removed in 2023, 5 months after release.>Resident Evil Remake 4 (2023), Denuvo removed in 2026.>Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster (2024), Denuvo removed in 2025.>Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess (2024), Denuvo removed in 2025.I assume they keep Denuvo if a game continues to sell well, I can't imagine that being the case for DD2 and they're probably keeping Denuvo on it just because it's still getting support in the form of the upcoming patches and DLC.>>2719307I think what you're looking for is thishttps://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma2/mods/584

The original DD and DD:DA was one of my favorite games of all time, and I've poured entirely too many hours into it, plumbing the depths of the game.Why then, does DD2 just not hold my interest? The mechanics seem fine (other than no Mystic Knight vocation) the graphics are pretty enough and the exploration is good, something about it just feels off to me.
I want that shirt.
>>2718861Balancing a game is a game developers job not mine
>>2715732>MC 4 SSHeh.
The Gamesir collaboration controller is pretty good, actually.
Ogre so popular
>>2716866Hot damn I can't wait to hire full team of enigmatic robe goonpawns
>>2720069Can't be better than the sex controller
>>2720069it gets mogged by the 8K variant on PC
>>2720364I don't play the type of games that warrant that level of precision, so it's fine. Just wanted to have DD merch and an excuse to get rid of my old controller.
Autistic Italians asked Kinoshita if the game will be able to reach 60 fps on consoles with the next update and he confirmed, but was that not a thing before? I remember they introduced performance mode for that reason
>>2720392It's not even about the polling rate. Their xbox licensed products are just inferior in general. Microsoft doesn't allow it to have macro or turbo support for instance. It also lacks the full steam input support found in the 8K one. That's on top of the hardware improvements found in the newer revision like beefier d-pad spring making it less wobbly or better TMR modules.It's not completely irredeemable but the Wuchang/DD2 version floats around the same price point as the Nioh 3/Aimlabs/Champion 8K edition making it very much redundant on PC.
Not even sure how I'm supposed to play the game when the DLC comes considering I have lots of mods installed which are probably all going to break the game until updated. Haven't played vanilla DD2 in quite a while.
>>2720402it can do 60ish fps in performance mode but Vernworth makes it crumble (just like any other platform)
>they're CONSIDERING the possibility of implementing hard mode and instantly shot down level scalingThis game is fucking cursed
>>2721028goodlevel scaling is fucking gay
>>2721028level scaling is a bad thing, that's based
>>2721041>>2721042Maybe in a bizarro universe where DD's damage calculation isn't comically bad and it doesn't cause the entire game to fall apart the second you reach level 15
speaking of mods which one was it that absolutely murders performance? i went a little too hard last time i tried this game but am pretty sure it was bestiary or something that absolutely tanked my framerate (for whatever reason, assuming it's a CPU bottleneck). is it any better yet or am i fugged
>>2721046This. Not adding even basic scaling to NG+ is beyond retarded and anyone defending it is also retarded.
>>2721028Some games have a toggle that lets you choose if you want the scaling or not, it's that simple, man. So much for giving us more options while they're shoving the eternal ferrystone down our throats. They're scrambling to make the game more appealing in the eyes of those who fucking despised it until now.
>>2719499
>>2719509
>>2721056>>2721100>>2721046Easily fixable with mods
>>2721241True but consolefags can't use those...
>>2721100Something like that is unironically too complex for japanese coding
>>2721241Sure but those can get your pawn banned if you don't know what you're doing so it sucks having to rely on external tools. At least they're giving us multiple save slots so maybe they're listening
>>2721028I suggested a challenge mode that caps at level 20 like classic dnd, hope they add that
Does turning your pawn's headgear off in the settings menu make it appear off for people who see her in the Rift?
>>2722435No, its specific to their options
>>2722508Damn, I can't believe my pawn got hired at all with that ugly wanderer's hood on
>>2721815Way too low, so they won't
>>2721241Fixing stuff with mods is fine, but it doesn't offer a universal baseline for everyone.You lose the ability to share your experience with any given challenge in the game and have other players resonate with it.That also becomes a problem when there difficulty can be personalized and configured to a considerable degree.From the standpoint of a community surrounding the game, a flawed Hard Mode with no further configuration possible is much better than an in-depth selection of difficulty options and scales.It's possible to arrive at>The Way™ to play the gameto gain back the ability for players to exchange their experiences and fully understand each other - and that would even work with mods - but the required steps filter out the vast majority of any community that'll decide to go through them.And not just because they are "bad players" but because some would simply prefer a different setup for their experience, some would like to go easier in some specific aspects, some would decide to go harder, and some would simply not be able to get past the mental>this is a self-inflicted challenge, I am overcoming no one but myself herebarrier to really feel like they are being challenged properly.
>>2720341Here's hoping DA will have more variety, enigmatic robes are good, but I'm tired of every mage-sorc gear having those stretched out "sleeves"

Loaded up the game and refreshed myself with it to get ready for the DLC. Excited to take on the new challenges just me and my pawn as I did with the base game.

>>2729753cute cats
>>2730085I've done this, mostly because I just wanted to give a heart then mash through the rest of the menus so I can get back to playing.
>pawn came back with barely any RC and without having her quest completedShe got a heart, so she didn't get brined at least.
>>2730246Okay I really just had to spawn 10 more, and it wasn't working because I used a vanilla table or something to keep count which doesn't actually go past 10. So it wasn't incrementing right.
I sure hope they give an option to turn off the FMVs in the vocation change menu. Lingering on that menu, along with the equipment change menu can cause a hard stuck once you eventually try to exit. feelsbad
I wish you could actually sit down and drink at the bar instead of buying everyone a drink and watch a 3 second cutscene
>>2730674Yeah...
>>2721050Yeah it was mostly bestiary, that one could be heavy but apparently the mod author optimized it (and a few other mods) and shouldn't be so bad now, i haven't tried them since I went fully vanilla to "get used" to Dark Arisen though so I can't confirm if that mod runs better now
>>2730568ngl that sounds shitty but i've never had that happen. everytime i change my pawn's job i withdraw every equippable item and mess around with her options without repeating an outfit. could take me anywhere from a few minutes to maybe 10-20.
going through my hard drive looking for clips i cut from another game and found a couple screenshots i never posted. may not be back playing until the dlc drops because poison song is releasing in august as well[
I think they should release the patch and DLC just for me ahead of time.
I think they should give beastren tails to tug.
i think they should completely remove beastren
I think they should... umm... cats...

>>2733840Just make your pawn the best you can to your liking, and you can tweak the appearance later once you start noticing things as you adventure alongside and gear her. My pawn went through like 4 revisions until it finally clicked.
>>2733846It's actually for me, I made my pawn some time ago. Posted for help as well, that black tribal woman. But yeah, I'll have to just get close enough and fiddle with it as I notice more and more. welp, off to bed
How much does a performance hit does Nickcore incur?
>>2733867none?
>>2733941>>2733867Muramasa's stuff does IIRC, adding more enemies and their new attacks demand a little more than the vanilla game.
always ride for the homies
>>2734130I turn her in to stay faithful to my pawn
>>2734135I respect it.
>>2734135lelI do her quest but don't return when she tells me to come back at night to also stay faithful to my pawn. Same to Ulrika.
>>2733984Bullshit
Popped in the PS5 version for the first time in a while. Seems to run better than I remember. Wonder just how much the actual performance patch will improve things.
>>2734362did you add post effects in the photo mode?
>>2734673No. Unless it saved settings from some previous time perhaps.
>>2734198cute cat pits
Around what level should one aim to be as they go off into the Unmoored World? I'm level 40 now and don't want to overlevel it if I can help it.
>>2734973you are already overleveled
>>2734973You go there at whatever level you are
>>2734230Sweet, I was convinced it did, but it must be just the game not able to handle much on screen yet.
>>2733984>>2736348It must certainly did/does affect CPU performance but nick has actually optimized the mod recently, you can even see a few mentions of optimization in bestiary's changelog on Nexus
>https://x.com/javysouls/status/2035717355733430289idk if it's me but the game in this guys pictures looks a lot more vibrant than my game
>>2736395he probably used the vibrant LUT mod on the nexus, if this isn't reshade or photomode edits.
>Playing for a couple of hours today just unlocked the starter house in Vernworth>rest and take a shit break>Come back and a level 108 Arisen hired my level 26 pawn and gave her a dragon's dogma, a dragon's aegis and wyrmfire upgraded version of the armor she was wearing >Gifted a eternal wakestone when she was dismissedIs this something people do often or did I win the lottery?
spearhand should've just been a pew pew magic vocation altogether.
>>2736644i wouldnt say often but it happens. sometimes if i dont like what a pawn is wearing i'll change them into something that suits my taste better. for a little bit during the hype wave there was even a guy hiring pawns and stripping them before sending them back lol.
I hire ddg pawns autistically because I want to see their numbers go up before the expansion drops
>>2711239>DD2>Steam>Svartálfar>82>Fighter/Calm-Guardian>BMJ05MFR6HJ5>Panacea for flowers>Cloud-slash, Fullmoon-Slash, Shield-Pummel, Riotous Fury
>>2736661Should've been a bit more like High Scepter (though it's already not far off), but I get the feeling they wanted to move away from the faster animation-cancelling stuff from DDON.
>>2736744Seeing as HS was busted even in DDO, it'd break DD2 in half, twice.
>>2713355Have a bit of autism, the Vernworth section in this 30 fps clip lasts for 1.233 seconds. I counted 38 frames from start to finish, of which only 28 were unique. So yeah, they're shooting for 30 fps but I doubt it will be able to hold that target in towns. We'll see if they're able to squeeze a bit more performance before release
>>2736775Not like they couldn't just make it not busted. Its numbers were just a bit too high and it had too many moves that you could cancel out of anything with.
someone must have spent ages on thispretty impressive that it looks just like the actress
>>2737346gotta see what the side profile looks like, or expressions.
>>2738121>>2737346>side profilelol>spend 45 minutes tinkering with a face>finally turn the camera 90 degrees
>>2738207That's some rookie shit
I love the pawn eye tracking, so much life when it works properly
>>2736671There was one arisen who sent pawns home with a fully dragon forged miner's outfit.
Have you ever hired official pawns?
>>2739425what a shameful thing to do
>>2739425Yes momentarily when I wasn't paying attention. Like lost a pawn to the brine and needed a replacement from the road.Also I don't care who I hire for SphinxMom.Otherwise, I mean, there's few enough hires as is.
>>2739583You not going to hire her pawn?
>>2739748Wait, she has a pawn?
>>2739748Oh those pawns. I thought Capcom pawns in general, I forgot about the influencer pawns.I was meaning to hire Biboo's pawn but it was gone already.
>make one of the coolest items ever>pair it with invisible wallsWhy are they like this
His pawn still in the rift?
>>2739748Anyone who did is subhuman.
>>2739877The official ones are all gone https://www.dragonsdogma.com/2/en-us/officialpawn/The pawn any of them actually made and played with, yes.
>>2738121doesnt look too bad desu
5 more weeks...Time is slowing down
>>2741000She looks cold and evil, you should warm her up in a nice brine path
I shall take the opportunity to observe our surroundings.
>>2741104Stop hovering right now!
Perma scoll of metamorph next, pls capcom, I have to conduct more thorough testing on vanilla DD2 oppai ratios
Does anyone have any idea if mods are going to work for Octobers release? If so what mods are you guys planning on using. Ill probably just stick with only a difficulty mod if hard mode isnt in it
>>2741391absolutely notNearly every mod is going to be broken
>>2741391Depends on if we get NPC gear like DDDAOtherwise, I'll go light a grab the 1xp per kill mod
>>2741391whatever's en suite in reframework might work
>>2740578Right on, good attention to detail.
>>2741391uncensored hot springs
>>2740200This was so fucking DUMB
>>2741391Level lock and xp control, backpack too.
Are golems still annoying on Sorcerer in DD2?
>>2743541Depending on the skill loadout, I suppose.At least few spells deal damage on them now, though. Seism, Maelstrom and especially Meteoron make very short work of them, thoughGolem vs Trickster is the bad one
>>2743590Ah, that doesn't sound so bad. Thanks, anon.
>Gave us eternal ferrystone but Secret of Metamorphosiscmon capcom
>>2743541Just punch them
>>2743590Magick Archer too. Martyr Shot is your only option and I can't remember if that's just modders throwing it a bone.
>>2744102Sagittate deals some physical in vanilla, Dullahan actually removes that. Which at least makes sense unlike making fucking meteors deal fire damage only.
>>2744108Yeah I don't think I've had trouble as MA against golems. And again you can just punch them.
Maybe we can expect the update around the same time, since they are also planning to showcase the expansion at Gamescom
>pity hiredt-thanks pathfinder
>>2744555>First the gameplay leaks from that event and then from official Capcom channels and then streamersI wish I could just play things blind when they release
>>2745856i've been getting a couple hires here and there this past couple of weeks putting up ferrystones for allheals.
>>2745856pawn level and quest?
BOTW did it better
>>2746781I already owe DDG hire-backs, so was hoping for randos
>the painfully autistic cringelord responsible for the AI pawn marriage mod is now casually modding in pumas with custom sounds as a standalone wolf variation>supposedly only picked up the game this yearSo this is the true power of assburgers.
>>2747902>AI pawn marriage modTell me more.
>>2747902>AI pawn marriage mod
>>2712476If the game can't maintain a steady 100 fps on my raggedy-ass 2060. Then it's not optimized.
>>2747902wwhere
Nevermind found it, was worried it was a discord exclusivehttps://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma2/mods/1383
>>2748774Told you about the stairs bro. Should have upgraded last year.Especially when the "yeah there's no Super series or it's delayed" news started coming in.
>>2748898Has modding gone too far?
>>2749419*Varg voice* Let's find out!Also, my pawn got smacked by a hobgoblin and it temporarily added like 200 extra chest sag point. Wish I saved more pics
>>2749419If it hasn't yet, it's planned to
>>2750140>>2748898all this and we still don't have pawns under 160cm
>>2750729people shorter than 160cm just don't exist anonsucks cause i think doing a child/kid playthrough would be cool for non-sex related reasons, though i mean they have the arisen have sex like at least twice in DD2 so yeah
>>2749646Her breasts are melting!
>>2750855Ulrika is a menace...
>>2750140this is too far. this is what happens when you leave players alone to their own devices for too long. i hope none of you will actually use this
>>2751991Yeah I was like "surely they don't look that bad in this armor?"Also, Gigantus spawned without his spear this time and didn't destroy the bridge? PS5, so no it's not a mod thing, I wonder if they'll let us keep the convenient bridge without spending an unmaking arrow now
>>2726963>>2727006Yeah, you have to loop in order to change your pawn's true name. You're going to loop eventually, so don't sweat it
>>2752304You can keep that bridge without an unmaking arrow. You just need to destroy the spike on Talos hand that holds the spear.
>>2753593Good to know...Also, I see that Sphinx fucks off if you enter UW. I usually do her stuff early but I wanted to see the Sphinx in alternate lighting...
Time runs slower and slower
>mfw i was expecting the August patch to be out in early August, first week of the month or so>mfw it's actually scheduled to be released at the END of AugustShieeeeet... next patch is actually like a month away
>>2755968>>2756208ikr, feels like I started a bit early.Notes from UW, though, it looks like Capcom added a bonus 10000G or 300RC to all the chests that gave a single ferrystone pre-June
>>2756300Ah, I was gonna point that out myself but I wasn't 100% sure if it was like that pre patch, yeah, they're certainly much more rewarding now.
>>2750140What if the pawn has dragonaids?
>>2756664Mah boi, Recipe for instant drama!
>>2755968Playing DDON is making it go really fast for me. Surprised we're already nearing the end of July. More people should give this a try, I shocked by how fun it is.
>>2758695Pippi-sized humies are pretty rare :0
>>2757165I played the SHIT out of DDON for like a year straight, no breaks, it was a nice experience, specially playing with /ddg/ niggas, I should go back and play a bit some time... My pawns will be happy to see me again.
me and the girls finally doing unmoored content, just wish this game had a hard modeWhen did we get run off /vg/ tho? getting traumatic flashbacks of my beloved /mbg/

pure kino when you fight him modded. I think in the base game he just died too quickly
>>2762631yeah you can skip a whole "phase" on vanilla with the thief spin2win attack
when is the update coming again?
>>2763650
How come June's update got an exact date and the DLC launch gets an exact date but the August update gets a slightly less exact "end of August"?Are they expecting delays on that one specifically?
>>2763664Work in progress. It's rare for a company to say specific dates for later patches.
The women's side of the hotspring seems to sit seiza. Sure wish my pawn could sit that way at camp...
>>2763663>end of augustaw man
Guys is this idea shit or no?>Can capture ''boss monsters'' like in monster hunter to obtain unique materials that you'd miss out on if you slay them instead>in addition; there's a Colosseum arena>to fight boss monsters in the arena, you have to actually capture them in the wild first>unique variants are already available in the arena but as unlockable special quests>small foes such as goblins, ect can be captured as well, but in metal gear solid style>this way you can rapidly capture foes to stock up canon fodder in the arena>boss monsters need to be at low health before you can pitfall trap em, so it isnt instant
>>2721170
Finally! Hit the HP cap, all levels from here merely count for public devotion.80ish levels of Blue vocations early made take 160 Red level ups later to hit the cap, oofa. My Arisen still has like another 40 levels to creep toward the HP cap, too, perfect for the DLC. Ah, rest...
>>2764355m8 arent you just one shotting through everything rni mean i guess you are using the difficulty mods and such but the japs havent even confirmed a hard mode yet I honestly dont have much faith in the dlc improving the difficulty issue at launch
So i have multiple save files, currently on one of em i'm at the Unmoored world, abusing the Dupe exploit to give extra portcrystals, charming corsets, Ring of Endeavor's, ect to my other saves, rest at an inn > godsbane myself > select: start over on day 1 unmoored. I dont have a Legion's Might staff yet, but seeing i have legit collected the 150 tokens needed for charming corsets on 2x save files, insanely enough.. i only have to gather 30 more for the staff, trade it to the unmoored-duping save fileso i can hand out extra legion's might as well. screw collecting 180 tokens on my Alts.When the august title update launches, it should come with all accounts now having 3x save files.I'll make a new character and pawn, keep pawn at lvl 1 just to see as an experiment how popular the pawn can get by trading corsets, legion's mights, port crystals, ect. up untill the DLC release date.Also i'll keep my original save file at the unmoored world, day 1, so i can even Dupe dlc gear if needed later on. That being said, of course i'll play through the dlc legit with all my Alts, get all noteworthy items the way god intended.Lastly; in BBI whilst cursed loot could be traded away, purified cursed stuff could NOT be traded, which could also be the case for DD2's dlc - at least in terms of the Relic weapons with new / upgraded skills attached to them. Thx for coming to my Ted talk.
>>2764270Just play Monster Hunter
>>2763663Why tf are they waiting so long with TU 3.2?
>>2764478Headshotting knackers is therapeuticThis is a PS5 file so plain base 'difficulty' is exhausted at this point and Dragon's Dogma 2 transitions to a full pawn glamour and creepshot game. Turning the UI off entirely is cool, though
>>2764989>PS5I'm sorry
Wow, what happened? I haven't seen a good screenshot in over a month here.
>>2767569Well it's pretty obvious. People got excited about the news but realized there's still a long way to go (a full month left even now) and are playing other games before the second patch / expansion. If anything we're back to how it was a while ago.
And I don't know what you consider "a good screenshot". This thread's a little over two weeks old and there's certainly good ones here.
>>2767637Cats maybe
>>2767569I've been getting filtered by 'unblock spur us' for over a month now on PC so I'm stuck phoneposting, and I'm too lazy to transfer screenshots every time. Fuck hiroshimoot and fuck glowies.
>>2767614>a full month left even nowanon the dlc is in october, that's like 3 months still
>>2768514The second patch is in a month's time.
>>2767914Hmm? I don't see that on NoScript
>>2768596>>2768598So can Warfarer just use maister skills now or is that a new skill?
>>2768638>can Warfarer just use maister skills nowThat's what it looks like, but who knows
>>2768638My own clone
>>2768614I already use ublock origin, tried disabling it but it still doesn't work. Tried the noscript extension you mentioned, it hides the [Post a Reply] button unless you use the lowest settings, and even then I'm still getting the unblock spur message. I guess I could try clear my whole cache and reset my ip but I can't be fucked to log back into everything.
>>2764683>keep pawn at lvl 1 just to see as an experiment how popular the pawn can get by trading corsetsHow? i can't find my corset in pawn quest reward window
>>2768732Checked a same. It wasn't a matter of being upgraded, either, I have a unforged corset

>>2771052Very nice looks
>>2771072Thanks. PS5 so no mods, had to do it the hard way. Could not find the right pawn so just had to make my own to make the right party of 3. Everyone max upgraded and all. Wish more people would value looks over stats.

Should be in properties.Didn't think about it, thank you. Unchecked all DLCs, got a message on launch that the game can't locate DLCs but I can load my save just fine.>Fag.True. However, bought shared accs also make you play offline so I have played around half the game with capcom's pawns, then I realised that I am the only one who actively plays on it and went online for the rest of the game. Thought, I can't complain cause I bought it in October 17, 2024 15:21 from the saved receipt and I still can access it.>>2770602Some games hardlock saves if DLCs suddenly vanish.
>>2769429Picked her up. She's currently in Stargazer + Jeweled Sandals, gonna pippi-tize her

>>2772352>So I just have to change one hex value for the account?Supposedly, though I couldn't really give instructions on how to do that manually. What I can do is give you this I-ain't-clicking-that-shit-nigga tier link https://resigner.blrxchaser.shop/resigner.exe from the denuvo offline activation pisscord.Run it in a VM if paranoid.

>>2773541kek, thanks. Your pawn mogs her hard, also nice screenshots. This is just speculation on my end but I wonder if he modelled her after his real life waifu
Will Itsuno play the DLC? I suppose he really doesn't have hard feelings, or he let it go by enacting killing the capcom dragon in the true end
>>2773653he retweeted the news about 2DA so he'll probably check it out
>>2773653Technically it's competition and he'd better check it out.We still don't know much about his current project.

>>2774555Don't think he's the type to spend tens of millions on dinners without doing any work

Oh and btw, hard mode confirmed>Director Kinoshita:>Also, we're working on a Hard Mode that will provide a satisfying challenge for seasoned players whose stats have reached, or are approaching, the level cap.>Producer Oyama:>Please stay tuned for further updates regarding the details of Hard Mode and its release window.
>>2782627i wouldn't expect it anytime soon given a few weeks ago it was a "we heard you about a hard mode, we aren't working on it but we might think about it"not that i'm complaining, they can take all the time they want as long as it's not what DD1 did. And i mean, they technically brought back BBI but better so i'm hopeful hard mode will be better too. In the mean time, mods will suffice
>>2782627>>2782768This whole game feels so half-assed man. There is clearly zero passion behind this...
>>2782627Yesss
>>2782569>>2782627https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2054970/view/705527117835665761
>>2782627Well, I'll take it, from the way Kinoshita is describing it being challenging for players at or near the level cap, it already sounds better since the original game's hard modo was a joke, I'm just hoping they will actually execute it well.

Somebody hire my pawn, please? Also give cat pawns to hire, it's hard to find good cats.He's based on my cat who ended up getting sick right after this game came out, after he died I never finished the game and it was nice to see him when I got back on today, it being the first time since I didn't expect my save to still be around, so I thought it'd be nice if he got hired again.
>>2788372I'll hire some /ddg/ pawns later today and tomorrow
i'll get to playing this game againaaaany day now
I was hesitant to start a new save when the Xpac comes out but the more time passes the more it seems like a good idea, specially if they're gonna include Hard modo, I'll miss my 220+3? Seeker Tokens but there's nothing there that's super important (other than Legion's Might being nice)
>>2788372not really playing but i'll give him a spin when the update dropssorry about your little buddy m8, he clearly was well loved
be carefuly guysI backed up my saves but then I tried to restore a new save file, it doesn't show the "start of unmoored world" option.I guess unmoored save files are located somewhere differently?
>>2788372Hunting coins with RunningWater, strong cat
>>2789448He uses to be a warrior, I forget why he's thief right now I was doing some shenanigans probably. Is nice to see him summoned again. I'm trying to get back into the game and finish ng before the dlc drops so still looking for cat pawns to hire.

>>2716757>>2781828They're coming along for now, closest ones to my level.

>want to play>no point because i'll be overleveled again by the time the dlc arrivesFIX. THE. CAP.
>>2791101「Super relax」「Amazing technology」
>>2791113Theres a mod that lets you reduce or stop exp gain, simple difficulty tweaks iirc
So, I reached the Unmoored World at around level 60, assuming I sit here and dick around as long as possible would it be worth going into NG+ on hard mode with the DLC? I don't know what "overleveled" is since I haven't gotten to this point yet.
>>2791351i don't trust those asian fucks to not ban me down the line for ruining the experience or cheating or whatever the fuck because i decided to stop xp with a mod
>>2791113It's heavily diminishing returns anyway, and >>2782627In 2D2A proper your level probably won't mean shit if you're already past the "recommended" range.
>>2791652>It's heavily diminishing returns anywayit's not the stats it's about actually getting my prawn hired when the dlc launches before the game dies forever
>>2791655I've never hired a pawn on stats, unless they were warrior all game and switched to sorcerer it's not really gonna mean shit. Just hire ddg pawns and get yours hired.
>>2791358There's no "overleved". The game is just easy and the stat gains are pretty minuscule past a point.We don't know how the switch to hard mode will be implemented.
Mnyeah definitely getting that "wish I had the six skills already" while playing. Taking the drow and zonbi out for a walk next and then gonna take a break again.
>>2792182>Hard mode AI gives gobbo/human enemies the ability to pick you up and throw you off cliffs
>Who the hell... puts a pawn guild... up thirty flights of goddamn stairs?>Come on Arisen. Maybe the riftstone... maybe it's made of chocolate
>>2792475Feels like too many until we get the added skills, I think every mage/sorc kit will be able to cover everything
HD appraisal grandma, at last
>>2792898weird rat
The Skyrim vibe is kinda comfy
>>2792898>>2792918>still two months to endless loot grindingWaiting warmly...
>>2792898Switch version for comparison's sake, this is what she looked like the first time we saw her. The bangles on her writsts look glitched, I bet the team that is taking care of the port is having a rough time. Still pretty cool that they're doing this, more people playing the game is a good thing
>>2792934The best part is that the loot grinding will be happening in an open space. I still hope Norgan will have small caves and tombs and whatnot, but I'll be happy even if there won't be any
>>2792918>PlastronI'm guessing they don't mean 1800's fashion, but a breastplate. But a fancy ascot would be cool too.
>>2793034>Best part>Open spaceSo I don't get to ricochet shot everything?
>>2793034I disagree, personally I love dungeons and the base game lacked nice and lengthy dungeons, here's hoping the new 12 dungeons will be intricate and that Norgan will also have some deep ass dungeons.
>>2793048I'm with you on that, I just wasn't a fan of the BBI setting
>>2793020doesn't matter much for them, as all it means is also making sure the game runs better on every other platform, and handheld computers like the steam deck which also have a sizeable userbase now. And i mean the switch 2 userbase itself, which is even bigger to begin withcontrast that to how they literally did not care for the xbox
>>2793186>they literally did not care for the xboxHow so? Did the game run poorly on Series S or something?
>>2793048iirc the dungeons are meant to take about .5-1+ hours to finish each with varying difficulty
>>2793199ye, especially on release. To the point people used that to say the game wasn't coming to Switch 2
>>2793214The point is newer hardware like the Steam Deck and Switch 2 can use AI upscalers which gave them a good advantage over the Series S, they can render at 360p or 540p internally and get better image quality at 1080p
>>2793061That's fair, and it should be nice and comfy to explore a snowy area, not to mention it being a nice change of scenery.>>2793210That sounds too good to be true!
I'm expecting boss arena rooms like everfall, but fingers crossed
Why are Japs so based
>>2792898She honestly looks like an older version of the BBI lady.
>>2793048Dungeons are nice but IMO more DD1's thing. DD2 is more about the world being one big open-air dungeon, which I kinda like, so a comfy taiga biome sounds good to me.
>>2794292considering they shamelessly used the same dlc name i wouldn't be surprised if that's actually the case
Has anyone ever have their Pawn follow their skill right after? (I only recently started pairing vocations with my pawn). Say, you headsplit and they follow. You cling, they cling.
>>2794772The AI doesn't copy you, it uses the move because it was the right move to use

>>2796185If I had the RC to hire her I would, I'm still using a level 30 pawn as my mage and she is not doing much in unmoored world.
>>2796267Aaaaa I'm still a little bit torn on how easily I want to hand out / accept friends requests
>>2796487I made the RC and gained a few levels, I hired her.
>>2796487Gatekippi...
>>2796185more like poopi lmao!
Will you be starting a new save with the August update?Will you be starting a new save in October with the DLC?Will you be starting a new save at all?
>>2797014nonoyesI wanna experience it with my current pawn first, then remake my ddo pawns in new saves. And if I haven't burnt out yet at that point I will do my sopranos themed rp run.
>>2797014nonoyes, eventually cause i want to have a heavily modded playthrough, while also hiring my first save pawn (if that's possible, i hope it is)
>>2797014I'm tempted to do files for my pawn if black and asian. "Somewhat" a waste of time, though
>>2794772pawns that share vocs end up sharing brain cells. probably from the sorc multicast ai and to make your own moves feel more impactful. that being said i really hope we get more filters and options for colour grading and light balancing in the expack. the blue filter is honestly the worst one and it isnt even close. >>2797014nonono.im gonna get the most out of hiring /ddg/ while people are playing
>>2795667Hey! My drow in her home element, bless.
>>2797014No.No.I have two saves with my Arisens & pawns at around lvl 120, lots of gear and mats, almost all badges and whatnot. I will play the new content and grind with both first.Yes. Once Hardmode drops, especially if I can start a new game directly on Hardmode after unlocking it, and I feel like my two former saves are "finished".And after that? I back up my "completed" three saves, search and decide on what mods I will use, and start the cycle anew.
>>2788372This anon here>>2711239DD2PCMahjong (Formerly RunningWater)70+ThiefRXSSM2EDG3PMWe just entered NG+, I may have screwed up his augments from what they were previously but he's set back up and named correctly finally.Also planning to make him a hawker because fuck it.
>>2796154nice drip tho, ty for the hire
>>2797382all head pieces that completely cover the face should give 100% resistance to petrify imo
>>2797355Forgot new card.
>>2797513Honestly, I'd recommend cheating RC
>>2797553I already bought everything, the RC is now just to hire /ddg/ pawns.
When the DLC drops none of you better be double dipping into r*ddit hires. I will be checking.
>>2797590I might double dip into /v/ee hiring mine
what do you think?any sliderfu tips?
>>2798268Good luck.
>>2797014Yes, just finally got around to hitting credits recently and have an idea for an arisen pawn combo and I wanna try and do in the patch.Probably not, unless I get a better idea for my arisen and pawn combo.Yeah. Not a big NG+. Unlocking shit is a core part of the game to me, having nothing to unlock makes the experience feel a bit empty to me.
>>2798271different face maybe?
>>2798268it doesnt translate well. she just looks like a jeet
>>2798268Eyes could be slantier I guess if you wanna match the source. Maybe make the nose a little smaller?
>>2798268use 23 for the eyes
>>2798268You want something more with the "mood" of that rather than an exact copy.There's a Dora the Explorer hair that's a little closer in feel. Go from there.
END AUGUST NOW
>>2798545dang already using 23>>2798455>>2798552got it, gave her another go before hitting the sack, still unconvinced but whatevs ill try another face type
>>2798616Overall, it's kind of hard to force a very specific kind of face with DD2's character creator. You work a face around what it gives you. It is what it is.
>>2797222Have one more.I was kind of getting sucky angles when trying to action cam these two.
>>2759793Nigs ree if you post too many screenshots because they think its update hype.Look at /tesg/, the only way non gachashit generals can compete is if they constantly post screenshots. Can't complain about being demoted to /vm/ if that's the attitude we're going to have.
>>2800092I like following peoples parties, desu. But I'm a fa/tg/uy so you know.Unrelated but holy shit warrior is boring to play, is this a pawn only vocation intentionally?
>>2800112nta but baka i am triggered
>>2800127dont make me post all of my warrior webms
>>2800127>>2800131And then the other 90% of the time when you're fighting goblins and the recovery frames on a single swing are so long I want to slit my wrists.
>>2800156youre really gonna make me do it arent you
heres one from ddda for good measure
arcs always been shit but youve got more than enough time to use it
Warrior is a patient man's vocation. I loved it in Dark Arisen, haven't spent much time as the Warrior in 2 yet.>>2800203>doesn't love Arc of DeliveranceYou are a poser and not my nigga.
you can complain about it being slow compared to other classes but you always have enough time to do what you want
>>2800275arc is ass. try using it in bbi over pommel strike or exodus slash. not only that in ddda nobody would want to hire an arc warrior. you were literally better off not having any skills on a warrior because the basic attack combos were infinitely better at keeping that pawn alive. cry more. i dont need to be your 'nigga'. 240 hours all on warrior in 2 and 130 all on warrior in ddda.
>>2800301Arc is for big dick damage. You literally just tank damage and then unleash at the right time. It sends strong enemies stumbling, cracks weakspots like if you hit a heart, it will bring them down on the ground. And send smaller enemies flying, like Eliminators and Living Armour. Not saying its the greatest skill in the game, but besides the fun of it, it performs wonderfully
>>2800345if you want big dick damage go get a sorc. warriors utility has always been crowd control with stagger and survivability.
>>2800345lets not pretend we werent all spamming jumping light attack in bbi either.
>>2800354But what if I want big dick damage on my Warriorthen I use Arc>>2800377well of course. in fact, i do the same thing in Online
>>2800391you used indomitable lash with periapts after you kd them with jumping light attacks because it took less than half as long to charge
>>2800436All of that when I can just bust out my Arclisten, i'm not a metafag. I do what is fun, and Arc is fun and has its uses.
>>2800492damn you shouldnt have come out the gates calling me a poser if you're just a casual then when ive probably put in more time than you in either game. you can say its fun and you like to use it but that doesn't change the fact that warrior always had better options. couldve just chosen to be nice instead but you wanted to act like a big dick know it all and try assert some retarded position where there didn't need to be any actual friction. i personally enjoyed using the different timing combos over anything else in the warrior skill set. people can enjoy the class in different ways and how i play clearly reflects that.i choose to put almost 400 hours into the worst class in either game because its meta? no its because i think the class is fun to play when i dont have to stand in one spot for 10 seconds. idve played an assassin or mk if i gave a shit about mixmaxing my experience.
>>2800567Dude, what? I was always jokingWhy would i call the person with a dozen webms of actually using the fucking thing a poser? Honestly, I thought you were being a dick to me which is why I just ended our conversation so abruptly...kinda like picrel, but the inverse
>>2800638i dont really care if you're joking or not frankly. we have 0 rapport. i dont know you at all and im not interested in being called out like that when im basically the only one on 4chan, and in the greater dd2 community besides fucking youtubers, that'll actually cliphunt. lets drop it if this has only been miscommunication.
>>2800354idk if it changed but warrior was fucking busted at launch with just beating the shit out of large monsters with skyward sunderskyward sunder was strong as hell, mage drakes ate shit
>>2800301>not only that in ddda nobody would want to hire an arc warriorin ddda i hired anyone posted in the thread because i could actually feel nice about going and slapping some undead drakes to give them rc, nothing like that in dd2 yet
I wonder what kind of new skills Warrior will get in 2DA, I don't think they showed new skills for Warrior on the footage so far...In fact, what kind of skills does Warrior even need? Maybe something for crowd control, like Spark Slash?
>>2801482Spark Slash maybe yeah. Or maybe that EX Pommel Strike that gives it a charged followup?Maybe something actually new.
>>2800092>Nigs ree if you post too many screenshots becauseThe very start of the thread was 1 image/post after we just had a thread that reached image limit. The limit is 300 on /vm/ and we don't want four threads in the catalog, get booted and have no place to go. You can still post a very liberal amount of images.>Look at /tesg/, the only way non gachashit generals can compete is if they constantly postEvery 90 minutes on slow days or be archived. Now look at the times between posts here, it was 11 hours between your post and the previous. We do not have all of our posters, at best its sporadic bursts like in old /vg/, but /vg/ is not old /vg/ anymore.>Can't complain about being demoted to /vm/ ifThe thread is archived. Can't post anything in fact, very true.You clearly weren't here bumping the thread in /vg/ as full time job for years.
>>2800092>the only way non gachashit generals can compete is if they constantly post screenshots.gooners and avatarfags keep threads alive
It's sort of refreshing that Dogma has stuff like:>What *is* that Battahl eternal flame?Answer: Zoroastrians had that and the devs thought it was cool. There's your fucking lore.
I sure hope the DLC area has a smith that's proficient in all styles of smithing.
>>2802234That would be pretty pointless. I would rather have a Norgandian style that improves debilitation resistences, at least it would be unique.
>>2802315We could have both options..! Though I don't know if they'd even consider deb-res for a smith, they're hardly a threat unless they'll make them overtuned in the DLC. And maybe for hardmode.
Umm.... cats...
>>2802315You already have plenty of rings and capes to combat debilitations, but who knows what kind of shops Norgan will have... I want a sauna
I want a quest where you carry a giant block of ice back to Bakbatthal by foot before it melts
I want the UPDATE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
genuinely it's fucking insane that they've made it so i want to play the game but won't because there's 0 reason for me to play my overleveled pawn that wont get hired by randos because normal people never even hit level 100 and if i started again i'd just be overleveled by the time the dlc comes out again and might end up trivializing itall they had to fucking do was make the level cap 100 if they weren't going to fucking put any endgame hardmode shit in base game, WHO THE FUCK LEVELS TO 999
>>2805337you can reduce or even stop xp gain yourself, it doesnt affect anything and the only thing capcom does to account for stuff like that is to just shadowban pawns that have a really high vocation level but a really low actual level (so you can't hire a rank 10 warrior pawn that's level 5 or whatever)
>>2805337i for one just don't care who hires my pawn, i'm in it to hire other people's
>>2805346yeah yeah yeah don't care it's dumb>>2805439that'd be fair but i'm still waiting on content i can grind to send big rc to people and also more rc purification shit to spend the rc on
>>2805337Why would you even care if anyone hires your pawn? the only reason you should want your pawn to be hired is for rift crystals or badges done through quests.
>>2805469>yeah yeah yeah don't care it's dumbit's dumb but trivial to fix yourself so its not like you gotta wait for a fix from capcom
>>2805337the writing's been on the wall for a while, m9. even just months after release we were capping xp gains anywhere from 60-80. and i mean my pawn's almost lvl 100 and i still get a few hires a week. people are certainly playing around that area.
>>2802315>>2802324chances are as far as smithing goes we'll just get up to gold dragonforged. at best im expecting a dragonforge split into something else.
forgot i was just sitting on a couple hires this whole time
fuck neither saved in vertical. whatever. here is bonus
I feel like letting goJust like the dungaaaaan
>>2805337> WHO THE FUCK LEVELS TO 999Me
>>2805551idk because i like engaging with the prawn mechanic? it was fun in ddda, if my prawn is like level 100 and 90% of players are like 80 or below then no one is going to ever spend the extra rc besides even higher level thread anons>>2805999but why can't they just fix it.. i didn't have to think about this shit in ddda everyone leveled to the 200 cap and it was all nice and great
Well I guess we're kidnapping this NPC and taking him to the furry kingdom.
>>2807064we shouldnt be comparing 2 to da just yet.in ddda there's a reason to stack levels so you could clear bbi with as little difficulty as possible. people finish dd2 around 40-60. maybe with the dlc coming in we'll have a reason to grind to level cap (unlikely given how theyve changed level stat gains) and people will have more rc to burn. i bet there're going to be rc items to gift too.not to mention it used to be a lot worse before they capped hiring costs at 3k. without cheats or adding friends it was effectively impossible to hire some of the pawns that got posted to the anchor. the games just dead right now man what can you expect? there are plenty of high level players that posted here, a lot of them are probably going to be coming back once the dlc drops. just make the most of it, hire pawns from the archived threads if you want more /ddg/ pawns to play with and get in on the ground floor. a lot of us are going to make a point of hiring every pawn that gets posted to the anchor and doing hire-backs, screenshots, clipping, once the game gets going again.anyway if any of us have a right to complain about hires it'd be the console players . ive seen pawns like mayari, seja, and haliya anchor post constantly and there isnt dick most of us can do to make their experience better.
>>2807128>>2806672jesus combing through the archives this guy's been grinding hundreds of levels this entire time and i never even thought to mention him either fucking crossplay when
>>2806672based>>2807128yeah i'm mostly just bitching while i wait for the dlc to arrive, once the actual endgame shit to do is here i wont mind just sitting at a high level and hiring prawns again>console playersgrim
>>2808550flop!
>hyuuman! come drink with us!
>*smirks at u*
actually I like this one better
>>2808596>>2808614Why's Pippi "hey baby girl"ing
made a kween. would be nice if i could get actually jet black hair and even darker skin desu>>2808596>>2808614cute smug cats in 3d
>>2808660The skin color is weird because it's a mix of the base face, skin texture, and the actual skin color. I had a good tanned tomboy face, but the skin color kept being these weird shades of yellow or purple and whatever no matter what so I abandoned it..And yeah, you're not getting vantablack dark.

>>2808854lol
First time seeing medusa climb on the pillar
>>2711464I really hate that they're making the game easier man.
>>2809257yeah knockdowns werent that big of a problem unless you have mods that bump up monster density. i think in vanilla i'd only gotten knocked down a handful of times at most.
>>2809257I'll forgive it if the hard mode is good.But not the ferrystone/portcrystal changes, fuck that. Unless they revert them for the hard mode as well (they won't).
genuinely what are yall expecting out of hardmode for DD2? Game is quite easy, easier than DD1 by far. I don't think percentage/value changes in stats will cut it for me, personally. I'd be more interested if hardmode for DD2 introduced AI changes, newer spells and attacks given to trash tier mobs. Maybe even newer animations.
The DD2 coop mod is live.
>>2810217neat. ill consider giving it a shot.

Nahhh. Not for me.
having some issues connecting in the lobby. me and some random dude aren't in the same diddly
eh couldn't get it to work and apparently some people are seriously fucking up their game if they actually do connect. so i'll just consider myself lucky
the setup was so simple I'm willing to give this a try. there are people on the discord but i wanna try it with ddg anons.>>2810393your shit isn't live anymore I guess.109775241489408618
>>2810591yeah i couldnt get it to work is all. tried testing in a few other lobbies in the discord but i'll hop into this for a nother try.
Not sure if I wanna try that but I wish you anons good luck
>>2810591well i launched and im still bummin around with my pawn like before. ive literally got no clue how people are getting it to work desu
>>2810631yeah that didn't work but as one last try we could try me joining your lobby
>>2810652109775241491434535. idk if it'll make any difference but i launched it in admin mode this time
>>2810652im just gonna launch immediately so if it works you should just have to wait around a bit before it connects us. ive been told some item drops that lets me know if you connected or not
How did I beat NG and not kill a SINGLE gorechimera?
>>2810652yeah nothing. in the client it should say mod online with a green dot if its going apparently but i haven't found any way to get that going. eh future updates might make it more consistent. judging by the discord it seems like most people aren't able to get it working anyway.
>>2810701for me that thing's been green like it's supposed to whether hosting or joiningyou can just press load save, right? not required to make a new game? I guess I'm done for today. hope I didn't break my game lol
>>2810713really.... yeah i dunno i guess its on my end for some reason then. im pretty sure people are just loading in and getting tp'd to the host. you might be able to get it going with others itt if they want but aint workin on my machine

Gonna save this pawn for the August patch.
>>2811292neckmaxxing
>>2811292She looks like she eats a lot of harspuds (not an insult)
>>2810158Honestly, I'm keeping an open mind, but not setting my expectations any higher than "enemies have higher stats" or "5 goblins/wolves/bandits/saurians/oozes have been added to every encounter".There's a bunch of things they COULD do. They could do it like in 1, where stamina costs were increased and enemies had more health and more stagger power but you got more gold and xp for killing them effectively making the game EASIER past a certain point. That would be disappointing, IMO.They could also give enemies more aggressive behavior, but altering enemy AI seems a little high effort considering they only started working on a hard mode AFTER announcing DDDA2.My blue sky hopium here is that it seems like they're taking player feedback into account. Since Bestiary is one of the most popular mods for the game, I gotta wonder if they might be looking at some of the changes made in that mod to enemy aggression and enemy placement for ideas as to what the hard mode might be. But that's a much higher effort version of a hard mode than I would consider it reasonable to expect.
Nice, ten free allheals for doing a side quest. I also got Zombie's quest done at the same time. Do you have to dismiss pawns for them to get quest rewards?
>>2812072dont think so. im just guessing but its probably sent straight to storage.
>>2812075I mean the items are straight to inventory, I meant for the arisen to get the credit for the quest. I never really figured out how DD2's online system worked
>>2812083eh if you get the items im pretty sure if they get brined or timed out all that happens is you cant rate the pawn
>>2812072I'm pretty sure it's when you dismiss them and inn rest
guess who
>>2812473b version
>>2812473so glad I gave her the battahli shotel, much aesthetics. very good action shot!
guess who pt 2>>2812492yeah the sword was a good pick m8. drow concept gud
>>2812525didnt attach pic lol lil bts. anyway for some xtra special effects in ur screenshots have ur arisen charge up some spells or enchants and just turn them off in photomode. for some reason spell charge effects persist even though the arisen gets disabled.
>>2812474c version
>>2801542I wasn't thinking of DDON's skills but there's certainly good skills and EX moves there so if they can't come up with anything new I'd be fine with getting some stuff from there, frankly I can't imagine what else they could add, we already have everything but crowd control stuff.>>2810158Kinoshita said that hard modo would be a challenge even for players near or at the level/stat cap, that makes me think they're going for some sort of level scaling approach, it's not like they're going to a proper hard mode with a ton of AI, behavior changes, etc for something that seems to an afterthought, whatever it ends up being I can't imagine it being any worse than the first game's hard mode.

>>2817614Pawns go adventure in the rift when you sleep
>>2817614Yes, Arisen.Or your pawn goes off to wander the rift for hires...
They should really make a leveled up Norgan version of her, unironically the coolest of all capcom pawns.
>>2810158What I'm hoping for is a remade spawn system>cut down the number of goblins/wolves/others trash in the wilds, have to actually work for your EXP/Disc points now>have a more dynamic system in all the map instead of the fixed one currently (ie: one spawn-point could have a sizeable goblin parties accompanying some bosses one day, a pack of wolves accompanying gram/wargs the other, a couple of Drakes sometimes, you get the idea)>more griffin routes, like above the fields outside VernworthI'm not expecting much, though I expect a bit more than just stats value changes.
I think Pippi's plotting to steal from Walter.
>>2818598>[glass him]
>>2818501I think they placed boss spawns because they wanted the terrain to be used by the enemies or against them. Cyclops tend to be near crevices, ogres tend to be places they can climb walls, etc.
>>2818598Drinkppi
>>2817614I was going to say that pawns don't sleep but then they regularly mention wanting to sleep after eating at campfires, so...
Medusa deserved to be put into an actual dungeon, not some cave where you fight her 1 second after entering.
>>2818899Not only do you fight her 1 second after entering, but if you didn't skip the early game and rush the fight with her she's INCREDIBLY easy.
>>2818899cut content :)
>>2818899nice taste with the sepia filter, anon, i never use it. i recommend getting the anti petrify rings and using her as a spotlight. personally im alright with her being easily accessible but thats because ive mostly just used her for lighting in screenshots
I need more thicc cats...
so what level do you think we should be for the expansion? i've been sitting at 90 for over a year
>>2819963lvl 20 ought to be hard enought. crapcom
>>2819963It says starting it has a suggested level of 40, you get "most of your stats" by level 50, so by 90 you should only have outleveled it slightly. I assume gear will be more important than levels until you're around 200, also there's hard mode.
Yes that's very much where I wanted to aim
>>2819999PIPPI NOOO LOOK OUT
>>2819999microscopic disdain for plebs
>>2820011
Two more weeks...
given people talked about it here, did any /ddg/ anon end up playing crimson desert? I'm trying it now and it feels weird, it's both interesting and extremely boring. Like they went overboard with not being handholdy so stuff just feels like it happens randomly, with no oomph, am i just retarded?Plus combat doesn't hold a candle to any of the DD games, idk what people were smoking when they made comparisons like that
Maybe I'll finally do a face reveal after the character creator updates. Everybody started using the same fucking hair style as me so now I hate it.
>>2821375The combat was fine, just that none of the enemies reacted to it at all (i'm exaggerating). But, like, it's worse than Samurai/Dynasty Warriors in that regard. I wish DD2 had its optimization though, though that being said. I think Kingdom of Amalur is the better singleplayer mmo, and you can create your character.
>>2819999Damn, still using the old version of Mahjong before I went to NG+, dedicated. Appreciate the hires though.
Hard mode is coming AFTER the October, right? Not with the expansion? The way they've been talking about it makes me think it will come later.
>>2821728Perchance
>>2821728probably depends on how they decide to make hard mode. if its like ddda i can imagine itd be packaged with the dlc. if its something more elaborate it could be months later potentially depending on how long they decide to keep updates going post release
What else has everybody been playing lately?
>>2822732UFC Undisputed 3 and Party Animals.
>get 5 pity hires in a day>now i cant put up allheals as a quest reward what the fuck>>2822732quasimorph. thinking about reinstalling deus ex and getting my morrowind mods in order
Some .webms of the new skills
Last one.
>>2822732I've started playing Wo Long recently
Cant for gamescom and them to spoil everything the dlc has to offer.
>>2822998Fun
>>2821375I put 100 hours into, got to around chapter 9 (when it finally sends you into the titular desert). It's aight. I'll come back to it at some point. The story is nonsense with flashes of something nice. I like every single time you find a new greymane guy there's a whole reunion scene. Felt nice, like it gave these literal whos at least a little bit of spotlight.Gameplay-wise... it's a little flat, to me. I'm not a big fan of the combat literally being "hold button to win" in a lot of scenarios. I don't get why people compare it to DD other than to try to force some fan rivalry. The games are nothing alike. One's practically a musou with a puzzle game attached while one's all about climbing on huge monsters.
>>2822983Hey, isn't that a Bifest rather than a cockatrice?
>>2823131You might be right, if it was a Cockatrice like in the in the first game it would be blasting that petrifying shit instead of fire... I'm not sure what to think now, though I can't remember how the Bifrest worked in DDON, did it also spew fire? Those are so rare I kind of forgot about them.
>>2823163Bifrest in DDON shot dark instead of petrify goop, pretty sure. Seems like the one in DD2 is shooting fire.
Why is the Guild Contract mod getting updated every few days?
>>2823538Well, what does the changelog say?
>>2823664Sure, it's an update, but he can't wait a week or two to release it? It's almost every single day is all I'm saying.
>>2823035Yup
>>2822732I just got off my P*lworld addiction, thinking of picking a jrpg out of my backlog to hold me over till late August. Probably between BoF4 or FF10.
>>2824897Tales of Xillias
>>2824897What did you think of Palworld? Looking for games to keep me busy while I wait for more Dogma
>>2822732Nothing. I'm just wasting away in my chair watching youtubeI played Gas Station Simulator two weeks ago, pretty fun, got to the end and since there was nothing really interesting at that point, I put it down. 30 hours ain't bad.not sure what to play now. I guess I could download DDO again, i never got very far
>>2823707Some modders are like that unfortunately, I'm the kind of person who doesn't like to update (anything) unless I have to or need to for whatever reason, if it works I'll leave it as it is so i understand how that can be annoying
https://x.com/CapcomUSA_/status/2087660588310700369ew
>>2826982Has Alienware ever managed to make anything decent besides monitors?
Every now and then I think about that South Park episode where Cartman freezes himself until the Wii releases. And it's only weeks away.
I'm very curious about the new skill slots, the new pawn behavior and some balance adjustments (notably mystic spearhand's mirour shelde) but aside from that nothing really new will be added so the wait will still be long...I'm mostly excited for the 12 new dungeons, but I kinda don't want to do them back to back in my current save as I would prefer to distribute them evenly over the course of a new playthrough. So maybe I'll just go to Norgan first and save the dungeons for my second character slot. What are your plans for the expansion?
>>2831388>but aside from that nothing really new will be added so the wait will still be long...Well there's the long-awaited performance improvements, but we don't know how much better that'll be and yeah it's not exactly new content. We still have the 2 months or so until the actual new shit.
>>2831388>>2831601 (Me)oops, hit post too early>What are your plans for the expansion?I'm just gonna play through it naturally on a new file. I'll save Norgan for after I reach the volcanic island and unlock all the vocations again, I'll do the dungeons as I find them and I'll head to Norgan when I'd normally be ready to push into the Unmoored World. Basically I'm gonna treat it like BBI, where I save it for as late as I can.
>>2831388Nah, I'll do the dungeons first, then Norgan, assuming you can go there in UW. Then hard mode, then dungeons and Norgan.
>>2831388I plan on starting a fresh new save when the DLC comes. I'll probably check out the big patch just to try the performance improvements.So pretty much exactly what >>2831611 already said lol.
getting a mid flip shot makes me want to ack

It's what, 250 posts to auto sage with about 70 to image limit? Post screenshots, old, new, bad, good. Who gives a fuck, it's all better than what's on r*ddit anyhow
>>2834181>250 posts to auto sagered number tells me we're already there, and have been for a while. This board being what it is means we'll be fine for a few days still, i wish it was like that back on /vg/ too
>>2834219TOP KEK
>>2834181I'm starting to forget what I have/haven't posted
>>2834379idk if ive seen either of them posted here or on /v/. may as well just post a few more if youre feeling it
>>2834181
>>2834379Fair enough

>>2834552OH its mog arisen i never would have guessed from that first pic lol. you always had really crispy screenshots
>>2834580boo
>>2834592Right in the benis
>>2834592Holy shit
>>2834592lel
>>2834533man, the only threat in this entire fight was the archer.
>>2834646It always ends weirdly abruptly for me (I guess when the fake dies?)
>>2834592ouch!
>>2834592First the Arisen lost his heart, now he lost his cock.
>>2835083I hope they fix the odd scanlines or w/e noise that's layered over practically any and everything in this game with the upcoming patch.
Cat ur day
>>2835093It's some sort of shadow filtering issue, there's a mod that sort of fixes it.It's weird because I don't remember seeing it in any of the RE titles.
>>2835551what?
>>2835622'tis caturday so cat ur day
>>2835564It's definitely in monster hunter wilds, but nowhere to the extent that DD2 has.
This might be my favorite spot in the game. I'd want to live here.

Oh yeah, guys. Make a copy of your save in case Capcom screws something up.
>>2836727nothing ever happens
>>2836750You were warned
>>2835790I like your green grass anon
>>2836792what did he mean by this
>>2837580That I reserve a "told you so" if something unlikely happens.
ive never done the sphinx questline. i just beat her up for a little bit and restart my save when she runs away
Anon drawef here. I'm back after a break, maybe you remember me, maybe not.I used to draw your characters here. So post your heroes or pawns, and I'll try to draw them here. Of course, I won't post them right away, it'll take about a week
>>2838872ill take this as an excuse to post my ddg pawn solo pics
>>2838872
realizing i didnt take many standard portrait shots of these pawns. ill keep that in mind for the future
>>2838913Glorious, i will take this
>>2838966viktor's a handsome bastard for sure
That's a lot of pawns
focus on this one is off, makes me want to ack. moving forward i'll be sure to take some regular bust portraits along with my usual pics
funny the one of my pawn i like the most is the one where she's fully masked up
yeah thats pretty much it. a lot of the screenshots i take arent good for reference pics at all lol
>>2839037I appreciate the pawn picture none the less. What visual mods do you use if any at all? Your game looks really good.
>>2839075just the 4k visual effects, and texture patches with the skin add on.
>>2838969Alertppi
