I hope the patch arrives on the 25th when Geoff will be doing his opening presentation and not on the last day of August or something.
>>2840055Yeah, I would be surprised if it's not an "AVAILABLE NOW!" during the opening stream.
>>2840031Nyo.
>>2838869You should finish the riddles first of course, but the art you see during the questline might hint at something when you fight her.
seeing how this'll probably be the august update thread i will anchor post again. cant believe ive been playing without ray tracing this whole time and it makes basically no difference to my performance>>2840031>PC>Yelena>95>warrior>N7IWLZVWJTW2>ferrystone for 5x allheals

>>2840472yeah lesser dragon is the pimple guy and drakes are the regular magic using ones
For the DLC, I wonder if Waldhar will have any involvement. They made a big deal out of that underground library and did nothing with it, feels like there'd be Norgan lore down there.
Kinda feel like playing but with the update so close I also don't feel like playing just yet
>>2840520im hardly playing myself tbqh. just running around and taking screenshots.
>>2840029I was playing this on keyboard and mouse before but I got a steam controller which i like and im basically trying to make my brain re learn all the controls.I forgot i was a trickster vocation lvl 7 but it sucks and i dont care about seekers tokens right now. I just found two on rooftops and i think i need some levitate bullshit to even float over to them. I leveled most of the other vocations so i think ill switch off of it and level archmagus.I never found mystic spearhead cause the guy moved or i did a quest and he left or something.
>>2840530I sometimes forget Archer can kick
>>2840530what were they thinking with the dragon cum pattern
>>2840549Jelly, I wanted to grab one with a steam machine but that was a poor idea, I'm never going to see it at this rate. My friend got his controller a few days ago, reserved on launch day back in May. Have you tried archer with the track pad set to mouse joystick?

I do wish the capes didn't clip as much
>>2840493As cool as that would be I can't imagine them spending too much efforts on the base games areas beyond the Arisen trial/Godsbane doors.
>>2840031I finally got done syncing my pawn's new Legally Distinct name on PS5 and PC, so I'll share this now. This map will be obsolete just as soon as the names and rewards of these dungeons are documented, I suppose. Nothing to sweat over forever.MerchenoPS5 (Level 258?)E53K T3YD KRYJSteam (Level 34)ASDW9PMRRZ13
Weeeeee're back
>>2841627That's neat, saved.I've been thinking about these doors will be handled, I'm guessing there will be a quest to guide you to them or do they expect players to find them on their own? I guess the latter is normal, it would be like finding any other dungeon.
Why does Emote Dogma need Nick Core now. It didn't before.

>>2841041I have not had a chance to try that yet because I already leveled archer to max vocation level.But I played a bit of hollow knight and DS2 with it, and i am enjoying it for this.In hollow knight it actually feels like i can detect how fast the reponse is compared to my old dualshock. Also my old controller had stick drift.>>2841627Are these new areas or something? I went to 9 and fought a medusa today. The reward was a very heavy bow about 15 in weight that gives bonus XP.Bitch was gonna petrify me but she walked behind a pillar. Then she walked behind a different pillar and got bugged out trying to attack me so I just freecast fire in her face till she died while she ignored my pawns wailing on her.>>2841235I killed some drakes and maybe a lesser dragon idk as thief or archer before.Now im leveling archmage and this fight fucking sucks its such a slog because I cant just climb his chest and wail on his weak spot as thief.
>>2842282The map is the godsbane doors for the DLC. 9 is "across the street" from Medusa.
>>2841627Thanks, that will come in handy
I'm going through a really rough stretch right now and I don't think I'll have spare change anytime soon. I know this really shameless and begfagging and a total long shot. But if anyone could help me out and gift me the DLC you’d be making a dark couple months a whole lot brighter... 874182426
>>2842623Got that FF7
DD1 chargen > DD2 chargen
>>2843069That's one hell of a take but I will say one thing, I do prefer DD1's bodies.
my dd1 pawn looks better than my dd2 pawn
>>2843292I made my DD1 pawn in DD2 but she looks different because the shades light brown skin in this game are really bad looking.
I havent posted in this general for over two months. I haven't played the game in four months. It's just been in my browser and I update it every now and then, despite not even bothering to ready barely any postsThank you for reading my confession.
>>2843752thanks for keeping us in your heart anon
>>2843069>>2843082I'm not a musclefag and boobs are too small in DD1 so... NYO
Anyone still playing DDON? I got it recommended to me by someone in the MMOdventure thread as a nice game for group play. What server would you recommend? Is it really party based? I don't like solo MMOs. What is the game condition compared to the original servers?
Thoughts on Nick Core? I'd like to use Emote Dogma but I've read some things on Nexus where it could impact performance? Maybe I'm misunderstanding it.
>>2844696>Nick CoreName like a 4channer joke
>>2844646My info is two years old so I won't talk about server suggestions. I think most at some point had stupid fucking ideas and discord melties.>Is it really party basedIt's a party of 4 that can be 1 player + 3 pawns scaling to 4 players + 0 pawns.>Game conditionI would bet it's still not completely translated besides the main quest and gear. And the original was designed to take as much of your money to speed up in-game timers, that's taken out.At least the base game is as done as you'd want it to be.
Cyclops are just hangry. We should be able to drop food for them (like you can do with wolves) and then they just roll over and go to sleep
>>2845025I wish I was a cyclops. I wouldn't have to worry about working or paying rent. Just sit down all day and find something to eat.
Nice looking meat.
>>2845147>lazy videos when camping instead of making character animations for cooking meat models like that in real-timeThey could've done so much more with the camping mechanic in general
>>2844696some of the mods that mess with enemy placements/additions can kill cpu performance with the constant calls and changes, but I think mods outside of that are okay under nick core.
>>2845153camping and cooking budget went to mon hun wilds, unfortunately.
>>2845185youtube "influencer" budget*
>>2845185d... d-dd3 will be feature completeAn obvious improvement for camping would be to allow us to set up camp anywhere, as long as there's enough room for it. Just like modded Skyrim allowed over a decade ago. And secondly, keep it in the main game world instead of loading a separate scene. Currently when you camp it's like the rest of the world no longer exist, even time stops moving forward.It would be nice if we could make camp and use various related mechanics while the rest of the world keeps on ticking. So maybe NPCs or creatures end up wandering near your camp, or you end up getting attacked organically instead of the scripted raids.
>>2845220I unironically wouldn't mind some elements from RDR2 and RDO to come to DD. At least the hunting and camping mechanics.
>>2844189Boobs are smaller but asses are nicer, it depends on what you prefer.
>>2844646Dogma Rising is probably still the better server, DDON.org sucked back when I played there, can't speak for Legacy as I never tried that one.>Is it really party based?At first you'll probably play with others a lot as your pawn(s) will not be that geared up but when you hit endgame and have farmed a bunch of shit you can also play with just your 3 pawns if you prefer, I think it might be a little difficult to always find people to play with you since the game is very niche.>What is the game condition compared to the original servers?Still missing stuff, for example the Main quest is missing its final act, but there's still a lot of content there, a shitload of sidequests/EXMs/BBM game mode, there's certainly not a lock of things to do.
>>2844646You can try rising or legacy.if you wait one or two weeks you'll have one more option
The wait is killing me.
>>2845596but is the wind pushing you?
>>2845600Always.

How does it's arisen tolerate traveling with such an ugly thing?
>>2845981it's easy if you roleplay as a Jew who is served by an ugly pig dog (a goyim)
thief pawn that steals kisses
>>2844696i have 0 clue desu but emote dogma is 100% worth it imo if you like to take screenshots. it gives you much more freedom and consistency. you can even have pawns use skills that they dont have equipped and as warfarer the arisen can use every vocation's animations. i havent messed around too much with it but i think its possible to manipulate enemy animations as well
>>2844646I finally got bored of it a couple of days ago, after one or two hundred hours. I thought Rising was decent.Wouldn't really describe the game as great for group play. The main story quests are quite buggy when trying to do them as a group. Most of the group content is stuff like running BBM for earrings/bracelets, EXMs which are a late/endgame thing and grouping up for dungeons to make them go faster. You can do prolly 95% of the game solo with pawns.>>2844775>I would bet it's still not completely translated besides the main quest and gear.More of the UI is translated but yeah there's a hell of a lot of the fluff sidequests that aren't translated because who cares.Also I personally think the quality of the translation is already a bit iffy. It's very MTL, very obvious in the pawn's lines. But can't really complain, it's an extremely small and niche project.
I hope we get more Vernworth military armor variations, Marcher armor could've been so much more. And I guess the Melve militia armor too.
>>2846589Yeah I would really like some of the armor sets the guards and bandits wear be available. Sucks to just waste resources like that.
>>2846607Meanwhile the guards in Bakbattahl have some of the best headwear in game. Kenshi ass drip.
>>2846802I forget, did the Dragon have a name this time?
>>2848288No
>>2848292Most unlucky for him...
>>2848557>5 minutes left, helldivers>Extraction is available
spoopy
>>2846619Another example of armor that we don't get for whatever reason
>>2849204dark elves thriving in the unmoored world is a mood.
I will make a new character and yet another amazonian pawn when DA comes out but, in the meantime, how's the current DDON experience? When I tried it back in the day, it was way too green to be actually enjoyable.
>>2849737just make sure she has a fat ass
>>2850135cool
>>2850212Was it intentional?
>>2850135>have to watch tuesday and thursday streamsnya...
someone do aught about this
>>2850135I shant watch. I refuse to be spoiled.
>>2850457This.You faggots better no be posting every little thing here!!! Lll I want to hear about is the technical stuff, how big is the performance improvement, if they updated the engine, if they changed up the upscaling and frame gen, that kind of stuff.
Fuck my life i been walking around with almost maxxed out average weight and picking up anything brings me to heavy and then I offload the mats to my pawn.Just found out the wrymsblood crystalls CUT THE ARMOR WEIGHT IN HALF
>>2850638oh yeah, going full dwarven path and then dragonforging it is kino.
>>2850457>>2850469Fair, but I doubt you'll be safe browsing this general so be warned. It's a good thing you brought this up because I would have spammed the thread with pictures and clips from the event, but I respect your decision and I don't want to be the one ruining the surprise for you bros
>>2850716Nah, I was (mostly) kidding, feel free to post stuff, I just personally won't watch the stream but I do think I'll take a break from here when the DLC launches, at least for 5 days or so.
>>2850727But I totally get it because I was planning to do the same, since I want to explore the dungeons at my own pace. If they spoiled one or two of them in the broadcasts it wouldn't bother me, but I get not wanting to be spoiled at all
Anyone need Lesser Dragon kills?
>>2850889Pipper if you haven't done hers yet >>2796185
>>2850916I'll make a switch then. I probably should have just CTRL+F'd Lesser Dragon now that I think about it. Thanks.
I really dislike how your characters body proportions directly influence how big certain chest armors get. If you make your character a little to buff the size of pauldrons can look absolutely comical.
Kinda felt bad for him
>>2850457I'll give you a (You) with all the details :)
>>2852633I hate robes enhancing boobs and butt. I picked certain dimensions, stop badonkadonking her.
1 week... The patch will/should? probably release next Friday.
>>2852945Which robes specifically??
>>2853264NTA but it's a lot of different armors. Give your pawn a big butt and the peticoat skirt looks absolutely ridiculous.
>>2852945Part of the reason why I gave my pawn a small chest, some of the robes get ridiculous with it. and a lot of the form fitting armor tops give it a weird banana squished shape the bigger you make the chest.
>>2853301I really wonder what went wrong with the coding that caused this. I've never seen this type of thing in any ARPG with a character creator. If you wear your armor in the character creator you can literally watch pieces of the armor stretch and grow as you increase body size.
>>2853264All of them basically, even the Pippi shirt
>>2852945I am anti riftslut. As far as I'm concerned this is a win.
>>2853708But it sluts them up?
i only hire riftslut

>>2855813Hmm, to watch or not to watch, that is the question.
>>2855813Oh shit
>>2855964youtube summary + /ddg/ posts about itthat's the way
>>2857707Deruuuu
>>2853927Same but only the beastren ones
>>2858473lol the salamander monsters are kinda cute
Modding has gone too far.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqtN4wqgCm8
>>2858478Nice screenshot.
Aaaaa like three and a half days left
>>2858484>mini-documentaryYoutube slop has gone too far more like.It's mostly one genuine turboautist who discovered the game at the start of the year and started shoehorning in stuff nobody even asked for, he posts on Nick's discord regularly. There's your documentary.
>>2858516>>2858521very cool :)
>>2858526>shoehorning in stuff nobody even asked forWe need a turbo-aughtist who can split armor and clothing like it was in the good ol' days of DD...
RELEASE THE UPDATE NOW!
>>2858484not far enough i say, can't wait to replay the game when the dlc drops and then replay it again when all this modding shit got to skyrim levels
>>2840031PCGilLevel 121Kindhearted sorcererDA7F2WCE50FAAllheal x5 for lesser dragon kill
>>2858484it'd be nice if dd2 became like skyrim but they need to make it so the games performance is good
>>2863519not like skyrim had a "good" performance when it first launched, and i'm ignoring consoles' performance
Patch when???
>>2864418within the next 8 days :)
>>2864418During gamescom most likely. That would line up with their "late august" statement.
My guess is Thursday
>>2862216Your Pawn quest isn't set
>>2864904That's odd. I just checked and everything is set. I just rested, maybe it's up now. Thanks for letting me know.
>>2865800All good now.
Clops is getting ready for adventures in the north. And getting ready for Monday.
>>2866169He looks like he's having a blast!
Thankfully I'm unemployed right now and can laugh at clops' Monday problems
>>2866195Same bro.
