Cowcaster posted:the other classes start with more stuff than just a club That's true, but that only really matters when you fight the tutorial boss. After that you can quickly pick up a sword, get some armor drops (or buy them) and there are lots of free weapons not that far away that you can just pick up. So my impression is that the class is only harder for an extremely brief time at the very very beginning, then it's at parity with everything else. The only thing I can imagine is that the rune cost for increasing stats starts at the same amount for everyone regardless of starting level, for example, the cost for a stat at level 20 for a wretch is one thing, but for say Warrior it's cheaper since they start at a higher level. Unless the cost is tied to your level no matter what you play, and not tied to how many times you've increased it. There are some things I still need to learn. Like I got this golden halberd, and my eyes are watering at the stats required simply to equip it. With that kind of investment it would suck infinite balls to find out it's not that great.

Advice for anyone who needs a little oomph for zero build commitment, the lordsworns straight sword stance heavy attack hits insanely hard and does massive poise damage.

frogbs posted:I have a launch Xbox One, is Elden Ring still worth playing on it, or should I hold out until I get a Series X/S or PS5? Just realized that if I buy it for my Xbox One, i'd probably be able to play it on my Series S/X whenever I get one, right? We're in a 'buy once, get all versions' for Xbox scenario I think...

ahahaha, i start running away from this rapier dude who can one shot me, I'm way deep in this castle mostly just randomly snooping around, but everything I can kill gives lots of XP so I keep corpse running back. I was going to head back to grace with my runes, but had to get away first. Dude chase me into a new area, I'm rolling around and dashing and I lose him finally... only to find myself in the middle of a special scenery that very clearly will be a bo--- boss spawns on a fuckin horse, walks by and kills me

im finding that even more than DS3 there's a lot of value in using running to space out and punish attacks especially with jumping attacks, the windows for getting attacks off after rolling sometimes seem even more narrow than anything before.

So my impression is that the class is only harder for an extremely brief time at the very very beginning, then it's at parity with everything else. Going to level N costs the same for all classes regardless of what level they started at. Wretch is the worst class to play from a min max perspective because all their attributes starting at 10 is suboptimal for basically every build -- generally there are multiple stats you dont want to invest a single point in, so having them all even is not ideal. Just to be clear this isn't really a big deal unless you're very interested in optimal PvP builds.

Yeah, I just fought a dog man in one of those eternal jails and guard counters and and rolling could often leave me in a bad place. But spacing myself and jumping onto his face was both safe and effective.

Now that you got out of the starting hump of having no gear, you are no better or worse off than anyone else when it comes to just playing the game normally. The main reason people say that new players shouldn't pick the wretch is just because it can be brutal not having any gear at the start.

Okay I think I finished Limgrave and went north to Liurna and it definitely doesn't seem as dense with activities, mostly enemy patrols, but I'm probably missing a ton of stuff anyways. With how freakishly high some of these weapon requirements are, like I have some special weapons that have 3 stat requirements, I'm guessing the game is expecting you to reach a very high level

The main reason people say that new players shouldn't pick the wretch is just because it can be brutal not having any gear at the start. OK that's what I figured. I partly picked it because people said not to (I guess I'm a slave to basic human counter-authoritarian instinct, next time I'll wind up running into a burning building just to prove a point) but the other reason was that I liked the idea of having to make do with what I found along the way. And if I'm being honest, now that I'm over that hump, I kind of wish I'd just made a regular class anyway just to get their initial cool armor appearances. I guess I'll find out what surprises await me along the way on the armor front.

I literally don't know how to stop getting the "Cannot summon cooperators" error. I got really close with Godrick though. Literally got him to 1/3 health before phase two, somehow. Still died thank you dark souls.

DS3 on PC had a similar issue with matchmaking for most of its early life (and probably most of the rest of its life, knowing from), and i imagine the combination of immense matchmaking server load + them having to slap easy anti-cheat onto the game after the RCE came out isn't helping

Also the game feels very different once you stop worrying that you should save all your resources and just happily roll around with your ghost squad as often as you can.A Sometimes Food posted:So was wondering if anyone knows if the unique/boss weapon upgrade smithing stones are limited or if I can farm them later?

Harrow posted:I'm sorta feeling down on spellcasting in this, both Int and Faith. There's a much better variety of spells than ever, they look rad as gently caress, some of them even do good damage... but they take an eternity to cast and if an enemy so much as bumps into you you'll be interrupted. It feels like such a waste to make all these great spells and make them nearly impossible to use against anything that moves with any sort of speed (i.e. every dangerous enemy). Dex decreases your cast time. I can usually make space and hit most bosses with a few casts of charged boulders for a lot of damage and poise. Three charged boulders (with 20 int mind you, nothing special) knocks bosses down for a critical. JBP fucked around with this message at 05:28 on Feb 26, 2022 |

Also magic has its problems but getting your rear end kicked for like 20 minutes before you accidentally get them trapped on a door and then murdering them with fireballs is loving rad as gently caress.

Three charged boulders (with 20 int mind you, nothing special) knocks bosses down for a critical. I'm curious how big of an effect Dex has on later-game spells because you would need to cut the cast time of some of these in half before they started to be practical to use compared to weapon arts. That's sort of the thing that has me scratching my head--there are weapon arts that do more damage in similar AoEs, with faster animations, poise, and less FP cost. It's mildly baffling. Maybe there's equipment that mega-boosts spell damage or really speeds up casting or lets you resist being interrupted that nobody's found yet?

Just picked this up and toying with the mechanics. Was spamming double jump on horseback and realized, "Hey, you can delay it! I could use this to break my fall and get to that tease of a beach below!" On torrents back, I took a valiant leap off the nearest cliff certain my newfound discovery would pay off. I hope somebody sees that bloodstain - a lesson learned in not jumping to conclusions.
