No. PSN updates when PSN feels like it. I'd guess 12-8pm PST on tuesday as a general window when the game will go up on PSN.

Thankfully it seems like every retail location has the game in stock right now and are just waiting for their registers to let them sell it. This means you can actually go preorder at your store of choice and know they'll have it for sale when they open on Tuesday. No waiting on ship dates/street dates etc.

What were the preorder bonuses for the UK on PSN? I'm debating preordering on Amazon, but if the PSN has a better deal then gently caress it, going with that.

So what does it mean to be marked as a scapegoat? I have a sigil that says I'm better at getting out of it, but I don't think it's been brought up ever.

Same as everywhere, 3 starter spells, the 2 costumes, and the japanese VO pack.

It's a status effect that can be applied by enemies or by the Monsternip offering. It's like a taunt, all enemies will focus on you for as long as it's up. You can intentionally use it to tank or the game can throw you a tricky situation by applying it to you against your will. In the demo if you're hit by Orcs' spit or stand in the puddle their spit leaves behind then you have a chance to get inflicted with the ailment. I think there will be other situations where you can get inflicted by it, potentially even in boss encounters.

I see. So if I infect myself with monsternip and have a sigil on that makes me recover from scapegoat faster, that would make the monsternip wear off faster?

In theory yes. I think the sigil is probably more for times when you really don't want Scapegoat at all, life if a bosses attack inflicted it and you want to get it off as fast as possible before the boss hunts you down.

I getcha. I mostly ask about monsternip because I've got a pretty tanky dude and I wanted to know if it was secretly screwing over my monsternip consumption.

Preview of some of the upcoming free DLC.



Black rite Berserker uses your brain to summon a giant energy tornado sucking up and damaging enemies, however after you use it your brain is drained and you are no longer able to see which spells are in which slots.

From what I gathered, the Angelus black rite sacrifices bones to damage enemies and heal allies. The drawback is you are slowed and can't use the standard dodge anymore.

Here's a teaser for Ouroboros

Sorry I didn't answer your question because I have no idea. NA still doesn't have a digital preorder site so if you're willing to try let us know. I'm sure EU people would be happy to find out.

Reset the router. Turned the PS3 off at the back, which actually made it whisper quiet. Unlike the standby mode, which still makes a whirring noise. Changed the date and time on my Vita, after turning the Internet switch off.

It didn't work, luckily my next door neighbour is a hacker. He hacked my Vita, and fooled it into thinking that since I'd already paid for a product, making me wait to enjoy said product is archiac corporate BS.

I don't even want to get into how you're sitting here bragging about how you pirated a cool looking handheld game, because that's a completely different issue.

I just thought you might like to know I'm sitting here having a really good laugh at your incompetence. Sony updates every Tuesday on a "whenever we drat like it" schedule. Changing your system clock won't work because odds are they don't even start uploading the data until a couple of people have piled in Tuesday morning.

If your friend is really good at hacking your Vita though, I hope you have fun trying to play online at all. Sony is really good at catching that poo poo now, and will ban you the instant you try to play a single round.

EDIT: Unrelated to the rest of this post, since I preordered this game the day after the demo came out, could I be added to the list of folks with the game? My PSN id is Chias-The-Muffin

You're not a dim bulb, you're a loving moron, or a liar.

Been playing a couple rounds everyday since the demo release and still unlocking things. I hope the full game has as much stuff.
I wish I could reliably solo Cerberus. Stormbird Pinion is literally ride the lightning.

Alright I missed it, but why would I sacrifice boss's? I know red levels are more important, but I don't see myself getting different rewards or anything.

Also while fighting Harpy I got a Time Sand spell, I didn't think that was in her drop pool?

I don't think this is true. You get boss-only souls, LE or SE which are used in sigil-making. That seems to be the only benefit of not being sacrificed. Boss-only spells come from break-off points. The Jack-O-Lantern Soldier Roll, the Harpy Scream, and the Broken Spear Fragment

You got it from the martyr rewards, which comes from either using Infernus or sacrificing an ally or be sacrificed yourself. Each fight has certain martyr rewards and the Avalon Pact harpy has time sand as one of them. As far as I know and tried, using Infernus and sacrificing an ally (or multiple for that matter), doesn't increase martyr rewards (at least in the demo).

For harpy, I just beat it down to red and intentionally get killed and ask to be sacrifice to get a shot at getting time sands.

They do offer the bonuses, at least at my Gamestop. I'm a bit surprised though, they said they were getting 35 copies and they already had 25ish pre-orders.
